I figured it wouldn't be a problem to commish user my dad, since there's no harm in him being able to see everyone's builds seeing as how he's probably going to win the whole drat thing anyway.

I hosed up, too. I thought that Jazz kept the version in the OP up to date and I didn't look at the number. And then I did, and oh poo poo.


JAZZ, could you add a download link to the arena website that always points at the latest version of the mod?

:ohdear:

I'll get on that right now. Sorry!

I think everyone can use two handed weapons single handed right now, just with a very large skill penalty.

The game used to be a whole lot more clear about how all this worked. The current website rules for weapons and hands were based on Vox's findings from six or seven years ago before he finished law school, and I don't think the DF site ever fully explained how things were changed.

That said, I'm guessing at some point it probably was fully explained, but I don't feel like going back to the DF changelog archives and reading all that poo poo, so I welcome anyone who might be able to summarize all of the changes for those whomst commissioneer, to do just that. There might be dorfbux in it for ya.

I think that getting people to come back to life to update their fighters may be the toughest part of all this.

Actually, 10 14 15 of the 16 remaining fighters have been updated already.

Still waiting on an update are:

Totally not everyone throwing spear
Bling Swing owned by Selious


Projectile Vomit
Thor the Warrior owned by Klokwurk

Feels A Bit Chilly
Bowbold the Bold owned by Dance Officer
Polybolos in Strangler Camo owned by AJ_Impy


Big Trouble
Captain Jodariel owned by dmboogie
Meteor Spin owned by I R SMART LIKE ROCK


I'll send out some emails and PMs, and if any fighters still haven't been updated after a few days, they will be made available in this thread for adoption.

I don't think morning routine even made the playoffs, but I've updated Bogroll just in case.

Hey, Jazz! I've faced a somewhat unexpected amount of difficulty trying to do something involving the arena in another thread, admittedly mostly due to how hard it was to do math while drunk at half past midnight. How difficult would it be for you to implement a sort of a sandbox designer for fighters, given that all the individual elements for this are already implemented? What it would need is the ability to choose the ruleset and the amount of points to use, choosing a species, spending points on skills and gear, and being able to create a macro at the end. Being able to save them would be nice but not necessary since the macro basically does it already.

Should be doable... it's been requested lots of times and I could work on it during dead time at work. Problem is, there's been a lot less dead time at work lately... but I'll try!

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:)

Okay so unfortunately I read up on the forums drama and it really isn't looking good for the guy that founded this site and I'm afraid can't defend him

He may or may not be physically abusive, but it seems that at best he's a dirtbag who cheats on his wife with a mentally ill drug-addled girl half his age whom he manipulates, and I only know this because regrettably I listened to that leaked audio recording that he thought would prove his innocence, but which instead just makes him look bad

Please check the threads in the other forums if you care about this internet soap opera garbage, but I want to keep this thread on the important topic at hand, which is Fortnite

And I intend to do the last team match sometime this week or next... I think the team matches almost killed the thread, they were way interesting and cool but just required too much effort if they are going to be effortposted, these 1v1 matches are the way to go from now on.

I'll try to fix the problems issues with the site this weekend. But as life moves on, I just may be pressed for the best of personkind whomst need to repurpose the website that we all use to synergize my workshop's ability to interface drilling down into the data lakes that keep us woke as our corporation pretends to care about social justice issues to increase revenue from consumers whomst pretend that they are communist whilst the beer just gets weaker via dilution. Stay tuned, grand finale up ahead!
