I say we take off and surrender unconditionally from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure

While we have this pause, this other arena-related thing might be of interest to people...

edit: also there is still a third place match but I'll try to run that one myself as soon as I have time, otherwise Bad Munki would give me the business because he told me the third place trophy that his fighter will be fighting for is the real championship

no re


but really though I am ready to run the third place match this weekend and just charge my client for ithe time I spent working on it, I mean it serves them right for expecting me to produce 120 hours of work in a 40 hour week, but seriously what the gently caress why can't they move out their artificial-rear end deadlines when two thirds of the team is out on medical leave and I have to cover for them, I mean I would really totally stand up to them and explain how unfair it all is if I only had another contract ready and waiting in the pipeline, I will never let a third party negotiate my contracts ever again

So! I got in touch with Jazzimus and pretty soon (depends on him!) we'll be starting a new tournament with me as the primary commish (and anyone else if they want to help out!)

Since this'll be my first solo tourney, we're going for a single elimination bracket just to ease things into it. Bright side, this means I can likely put out a few fights per day unless they decide to stand there punching each other in the left big toe for the next sixteen years!

So! Sharpen your axes and offer a prayer to Armok to steel yourselves against bloodshed - the Murderbowl lives again!

(also Jazz, please give me the ability to start a new tourney on the site or something so we can get the blood flowin' again :v:)
Ya know, poo poo happens. Let's just get this over soon. Galick was one of the best....

G: That's silly how would a tournament end if all the matches aren't played?

K: Time isn't even real

K: our fighters everyone! Krankor knows much blood will spill!

G: This is truly a fight among fights! A battle amongst battles! A WAR WITHIN A WAR!

K: Hell yeah!



K: THE MISSILES COME OUT!

G: Yes they do! Look at that steel throwing axe from Thor!'

K: Spend money to make kills!

G: Bowbold fires a bolt and Poly hurls a pilum!



K: AND POLYUSBOS pilum hits but oh! ita deflected off the boobplate!

G: That's a BREASTplat-

*K shaking desk* OH! our first melee encounter! Mino1 is struck a glancing blow by mlrm2

G: Several test strikes lash between our gladiators. Shields and quick footwork prevent any from doing harm! We are seeing why these combatants have made it this far!


The weapons used in the arena are of the utmost quality. Mostly.

K: MY MAN THOR! Throwing axes is fun but so is throwing it while keeping a hold on it!

G: I believe that is called a 'chop' Krankor.

K: Thor lops Fourlearned Is' foot right off sparking his axe off the floor! The steel swings and sings clear! Fourlearned Is has in retaliation BIT THOR'S TOE AND HE AIN'T LETTING GO!

G: A bold move! Let us see how this works out between these two fighters. Mino1 dodges a few strikes from Srpnt1 and sends a few misses back to the snake man. There really seems to be difference here folks!

(VE here with a lil side note. I've almost ran/ ran/ ran and forgot/ didn't save this fight a few times since the last one and I never knew I had the old macros still lol. This fight is going MUCH different. A ton more saves happening to each side and several more armor saves as well. well minus Thor being Thor again. ok bye)

K: A smashed and hacked toe is Fourlearned Is' reward for trying to take down the mighty Thor!

G: The molemarian does not quit, and continues to bite down on the human toe! Ewuck! Oh perhaps they have overexerted themselves with their new wound! Fourlearned falls onto the ground!

K: Humans are indeed gross Geldolf and that moleman is in a dangerous situation yet still holds their fierce dental grip on Thor's toe!



G: NAKED SNAKE HAS MADE A MOVE TO PREVENT THOR FROM GOING BALLISTIC! HE HAS STABBED THROUGH THE RIGHT HAND OF THOR! BONE LIGAMENTS NERVES MUSCLE AND FLESH TEAR AND BREAK FROM THE IMPACT!

K: Thor no! Taking advantage of this Fourlearned begins to shake the human savagely from the toe ripping it right off the foot! It chews it maliciously the fiend! You have nine more toes Thor! It'll be fine!

G: And Polybos throws another pilum whatever oh! Buy Buy Buy charges into Naked Snake and bowls him right over. A scene of shimmering scales hisses and fur as the two tumble around the stony arena floor!

K: Thor has dropped his beautiful steel throwing axe! The fiendish Fourlearned has stabbed her spear into the left arm of Thor! The clatter the weapon makes against the stone sends ice into my heart.



G: Bowbold the Bold sends a bolt into the calf of Spermy Munki just decimating the area! Spermy crashes to the ground!

K: He probably shouldn't have moved into the way of the bolt. Moly Foley moves into the combat area and immediatly has bitten down on the skull of Fourlearned! The impact and crushing force has rendered Fourlearned uncconcious! The tenacity of these molemarians is scary! I would love to battle several of them on Krankor!

G: Several? Weren't you injured by a stray body part recently?

K: I was caught off guard!



G: Speaking of off guard Buy Buy Buy has sunk his teeth into Fourlearned and has torn his rear right off clean off! He chews it with vigor and determination!

K: Go Buy Buy Buy! Avenge Thor!

G: Seems Naked Snake is stil on protection as their steel dagger that is somehow unlodged, no mention of that in the report, (K: you have a report??) has not penetrated the lower leg armor of Buy Buy Buy yet struck hard enough to take the minotaur to the ground!

K: I will have to look at this snake person's skills later! (VE: srsly wtf with this timing) WAIT WHAT IS THIS!


G: MOLE FOLEY HAS BEGUN A DEATH SHAKE ON FOURLEARNED IS!

K: SNAP HIS NECK! SNAP IT! TWO SHAKES A-


FOURLEARNED IS HAS BEEN KILLED BY WAY OF SPEAR TO THE SKULL DELIVERED FROM BUY BUY BUY

K: -ND what the gently caress is that voice?!

G: ah we got an automatic kill voice incase we miss it on the crystal replay

K: what

G: FEELS A BIT CHILLY HAS LOST THE FIRST FIGHTER! IT IS A THREE AGAINST FOUR SITUATION

K: Blood! Blood now! The real fight begins!

G: Naked Snake, surrounded by three enemies, evades all four attacks and even lands another punishing crushing attack to the lower leg of Buy Buy Buy.

K: The flat of the blade isn't being used! It is the hardest swings we may have seen yet! If Buy Buy Buy didn't have armor his legs would be gone! Better a few broken bones than a leg lost on Krankor!


On the rare occasion that positioning is used it often turns the bleakest of conflicts into victory

G: see right there the bolt was deflected

K: Huh so this can replay time?

G: well not time itsself but small fragm - OH OH uh so thats the replay system folks! Moving on!

K: Thor has tackled Naked Snake and has tumbled the serpent! Oh Naked Snake stands up and immediatly full hilt stabs Buy Buy Buy in the guts! Its lodged! ITS LODGED FOLKS! Ope and its out in one pull.

G: This is a fight! It really is!

G: Naked Snake re-enters his dagger into Buy Buy Buy again getting it stuck!

K: Polybolos in Strangler Camo trundles over to Spermy Munki and thrusts his pilum into his hand removing it from the dwarf's body! Another precarious situation!

G: Naked Snake dodges attacks from Thor and Buy Buy Buy doing his damnedest to keep these two occupied. His team should hope that his stamina is greater than theirs.

K: Naked Snake lands a good hit on the Minotaur's left knee. Didn't penetrate the armor but managed to bend the joint and even damaged the boot armor!

G: Mole Foley has joined in the chase and Polybolos has embedded their pilum into the foot of Spermy Munki! Spermy quickly retaliates and swings his hammer into the right arms of the strangler!



K: Naked Snake is beset on all sides! His teammates are quite far from able to lend immediate help.

G: Naked spins his way out and tries a quick stab on Mole Foley but doesn't get past the armor. Buy Buy Buy tries again misses and gets more smashing hits delivered to his right knee! Bowbold fires another shot from his crossbow! Will he strike his target? The fighters are heavily clustered together!

K: Where did the bolt go?! I wanted to see someone get an eye shot out!

G: Naked Snake makes another move punching Buy's horn bending his neck a little. The absolute skill this serpent man is displaying has been unseen for quite some time!



K: THE SERPENT STRIKES WITH FINALITY AND BURIES THE DAGGER INTO THE CHEST SEVERING A SPINAL LIGAMENT IS THE END FOR THE MINOTAUR?! Krankor be praised!

G: A another small scuffle and a result of Mole Foley gripping the arm of Naked Snaked while tearing into it with his teeth! Naked Snake with lightning fast reflexes immediatly chomps down onto Mole Foley's foot! FINALS BABY! Polybolos smashes up Spermy's toes wrecking hs foot!

K: Naked Snake is taking a shaking, biting, kicking, beating! He has to dislodge his dagger from the guts of Buy! before it is too late!

G: Spermy assails Polybolos with several warhammer blows crushing a hand! Naked tackles Mole Foley to the ground and gets gored in the arm by the wounded Buy! Thor throws a few more kicks Naked's way! Thor grabs the fingers of Naked!

K: The fingers are still on the hand for the record folks! ANOTHER GORE! SPERMY CRACKS NAKED SNAKE IN THE NECK WITH HIS HAMMER I SEE SPINAL FLUID!! AND MOLE FOLEY TACKLES HIM WHILE STILL LATCHED ONT HIS ARM WITH THOSE RAGGED TEETH!

G: Bowbold has fired another shot!

K: Could this be the blessed bolt?!

G: Oh hey look Mole Foley put Naked Snaked in an arm lock?

K: huh no poo poo what a strange fighter

G: Well after snapping an elbow Mole Foley drops the serpent man and his team continue to pound on him some more. Polybolos blasts another toe off Spermy but can't do much else other than land a latched bite onto the dwarf's finger lets watch on!

~Several minutes later~

K: OK folks its been tense here! Lotta kicking on Naked Snake who is feeling hopeless in his situation. But Polybolos has driven his pilum through Spermy! Twice! Once in the left shin and onnce in the right! There is yet much fight on this arena floor!



G: Another bolt is loosed from Bowbold!

K: Feels A Bit Chilly really needs this to strike true! Naked Snake has past out from exhaustion! Polybolos is perforating Spermy but they need their marksman to do his work!

G: Gripping stuff Krankor! SPEAKING OF GRIPPING MOLE FOLEY HAS STARTED TO LATCH ONTO THE HEAD OF A PASSED OUT NAKED SNAKED!

K: ALL OFF PROJECTILE VOMIT IS THUNDERING NAKED SNAKE RIGHT NOW!!




K: AND POLYBOLOS USES THE INCAPACTITATED NAKED SNAKE TO STAB SPERMY IN THE HEAD ENDING HIS LIFE! ITS AN OFFICIAL THREE VERSUS THREE FOLKS!!!

G: ITS STARTING NOW!



G: Mole Foley and Polybolos begin tussling over Naked Snake!

(idk why but now bowbold is firing steel bolts? maybe they were before but they looked different)

K: Another bolt! HIT SOMETHING GODDAMN! Thor kicks Naked Snake for a final time and the serpent man bleeds to death (2 full pages of getting beaten gored bit scratched clawed punched in the head)

G: A Deadly two on three commences!

and then i hit space on accident. I would go through this and fix names to reflect the teams properly but im at the bar soooo

WINNERS PROJECTILE VOMIT!!! WITH A SCORE OF 4-2!!!

Do you think that when the commissioner pauses, that the combatants continue to perceive the flow of time? Can you imagine the endless dread of being frozen in time, and yet completely aware of your plight? Do you suppose arena fighters dream?

Human 1 kicks Serpent Man 1 in the nose with his right foot and the injured part collapses!
Human 1 bites Serpent Man 1 in the head, tearing the muscle!
Human 1 latches on firmly!
Human 1 shakes Serpent Man 1 around by the head, tearing apart the head's fat and bruising the muscle!
Human 1 bites Strangler 1 in the first left hand, tearing the muscle!
Human 1 latches on firmly!
Human 1 shakes Strangler 1 around by the first left hand and the severed part sails off in an arc!
The first left hand is ripped away and remains in Human 1's grip!
Human 1 bites Dwarf 2 in the neck, tearing the muscle through the XXsmall cow leather armorXX!
Hell yeah, a fight! :black101:

Man, Thor got hosed up super fast that time. He did manage to kick Naked Snake's nose in and bite one of Polybolos' hands off though. He kept that hand in his mouth for a while too.
