No that's the opposite of what I'm saying.

Worse Munki gonna destroy go big and/or go home, because Worse Munki is a good team.

Worse Munki is obviously worse than Bad Munki. It's right in the name :colbert:

So, next DF version is adding save/load to the arena.

Will this change the face of dwarf fortress gladiation as we know it?

The bets are a little lopsided this round. Not many even matches it seems.

Or fewer people have been around to reap those sweet sweet 8:1 payouts.

Punc Hant_PALS punches Strangler than Fiction_MUNKI in the upper body, but the attack passes right through!

Actually, this raises an interesting question: in the case of friendly fire, who gets awarded the kill?

Whoever DF awards it to.

Worse Munki have amassed Thirty kills! Chaz Steadyfist accounts for fully half of them to lead the scoreboard, and Sriracha Fartstorm Returns has broken the two digit barrier with 11.

My pro strategy - feeding kills to my other teammates - pays off.

Very well. Here is some neutral and unbiased factual data on kill counts.

There are two bow-using gladiators. They have amassed four kills, averaging 2 kills per gladiator. All bow-using gladiators are blooded.
Five gladiators started the tournament armed with whips. One of them has stopped doing so, and consequently has 2 kills. Three of the remaining four are Unblooded vermin. The kill ratio for those four is less than one kill per gladiator.

How do whip users compare with gladiators who have literally no weapon?

And that's another thing! You ingrate kids these days; you have no idea how good you have it.

Back in my day, betting was by hand, and finding out what the gladiators used last round usually involved reading the combat logs to see if it was mentioned, and there was no easy, constantly up-to-date list of bets to reference! And it was uphill both ways! :argh: You never could've if it weren't for trailblazers and leading the way and letting stealing our systems and coming in with no burden of remembering what things were like two tournaments ago and etc

And champions were respected. Kids these days don't give the champions the respect and solid gold items they deserve :colbert:

63 fights remain until the end of the regular season. Presuming 8 teams go into the playoffs, the quarter finals, semifinals and finals give a further seven fights, with an eighth if there's a bronze medal bout.

So, 70-71 total. 81 fights have taken place so far, we're on the home stretch.

When do the home-team benefits come back?

It'd be nice if the match betting table was posted with each fight, or a page on the website where you can see who you bet for without spoilers as to who won. I keep forgetting who I bet on and the fights are less fun without someone to root for!

I ran the fight 3 other times in another DF instance. Petting Zoo lost 1 fighter in 4 identical fights.

Go fraud yourself.

The defendant admits he stacked the deck by running four fights, and posting the one with the least number of fighters lost.

The prosecution rests, your honor.
