From lightest to heaviest: Gremlin: TheWhaler has brought his gladiator, Oliver, to battle. A swift little orphan living on the streets of Mudfog, he drags around his (comparatively) massive Adamantine Shortsword with both his grubby little hands. Certainly vicious, he's fast enough to be quite the Artful Dodger and dangerous enough to know how to Twist his blade around his opponent's entrails. Dark Gnome: Krysmphoenix enters Smurf Miner into the mix! A tiny, shiny blue beast with a real meanstreak, he is decked out in a full set of Adamantine armor (Helm, Mail Shirt, Gauntlets, Greaves, High Boots) and a matching Mining Pick forged of the very same material as his armor, he is certainly looking to PICK a fight. Kobold: Astus makes known his warrior to be Sacrifice. A miserable, wretched dog-man if ever there was one, he cowers behind his spear of Adamantine. He appears to have very little confidence that his Adamantine Breastplate will protect him and his eyes keep darting around as though he is searching for a way to escape this horrible death-arena. Strangler: AJ_Impy brings us Glen Starr, a peculiar creature wearing only an Oak Cap and Gauntlets. He carries a very dangerous looking Iron Scourge, scraping the ground as he goes. Serpent Man: PublicOpinion releases Fightin' Bitin' Wrassler into the wild. Well-armored in his Leather Cap, Steel Gauntlets, with Adamantine Mail Shirt, Helm and High Boot, he can't wait to sink his teeth into his opponent. Literally, of course. Soldier Ant Woman: Anchors knows it's the time of the month to bring Ant Flow back. Covered in a Copper Cap, Gauntlets and Low Boots as well as an absurd FOUR Copper Shields, she aims to make her foe bleed for days. Dwarf: Ramc brings us Tantrum Spiral. His only pre-match remark is that all of his friends have been really unhappy lately and it's starting to get to him. He heads to battle in his Steel Helm and Mail Shirt, dragging a Silver Warhammer slowly through the dirt behind him. Elf: Bene Elim enters Robert the Spruce. A Scottish-Elf warrior donning Bronze Mail Shirt, High Boots, Gauntlets and Greaves plus a Steel Helm to top it off. He also sports a very sexy sheep wool skirt and carries a Steel Two-handed Sword off to battle. Goblin: <REDACTED> Human: Brick Moses has searched through the ranks of humanity to find possibly the most expendable entrant imaginable, Everypony. He wears a pair of Steel Horseshoes and a cloth pony costume. He appears to be practicing his kicks but to be truthful, it seems very likely that the only thing he's going to kick is the bucket. Molemarian: Silverminnow brings us Moletariat, a creature so low-class that it has to live underground just to break even. Armed with a Platinum Warhammer and an Oak Shield, he looks to turn his experience in the working class into working his opponent over! Werewolf: Locomotive Breath chugs a brewskie and brings us Broseidon, King of the Brocean, dude! He carries a large Steel Two-handed Sword in one hand and an Oak Shield in the other. Armored mostly in Copper (Greaves, Low Boots, Gauntlets, Breastplate, Cap) he changes it up slightly with a Steel Mail Shirt and an Iron Helmet. He assures us that he can't be arrested, his dad owns a dealership. Tigerman: <ERROR> Minotaur: Hooplah unlocks the stables to unleash Mad Cow, a frothing lunatic of a bullman. He wields a massive Platinum Warhammer in a single hand. The arena lights sparkle off his Copper Leggings. Looking around angrily for something to smash into paste, he snorts and paces frantically. Troll: KezzKezzan delivers Bridge. Hefting a massive Adamantine Battleaxe over his shoulder, he slowly trods to the arena. He also carries an Oak Shield that upon closer inspection appears to be merely a section torn from an actual bridge. His Iron Mail Shirt and Helm appear to be smeared with goatsblood and he peers into the arena with a gruff expression on his face. Yeti: ZeeToo enters the goliath, YETI. Hailing from Parts Unknown, he menaces with Pick of copper. His matching Copper Helm and Mail Shirt offer him mild protection. YETI comes to prove that you don't need a name to bring the pain.

The biting thing was a lot more attractive before I realized that 3rd round points means everyone is armored everywhere. Though the Bro is only wearing low boots, so maybe Wrassler can bite him in the shins...

Anchors posted:I'm surprised no one went for ranged weaponry, 3rd round points make for a very accurate archer. Funny you should mention that... *cough* GOBLIN vs YETI YETI is the first to enter the ring against his heretofore unknown Goblin opponent. A crude Goblin Automaton, G0/B0T clanks into position clutching a steel crossbow. YETI will need to close the distance quickly without sustaining too much injury in order to have a chance here! The battle begins and the first bolt flies, striking YETI firmly in the hand. He roars in pain but charges onward! Another bolt flies... and misses! The steel bolt shatters harmlessly against the arena wall.  Pictured above, one incoming Yetiload of pain With YETI so close, it's a race to reload... surely any smaller opponent would have already reached G0/B0T but as the behemoth YETI lumbers onwards, a third shot is fired from nearly point-blank range, striking YETI in the leg and managing to tear a tendon!... which would be extremely beneficial if the yeti were not already standing right in front of his target. *THUCK* YETI slices hard down into G0/B0T's arm with such force that the pick becomes lodged right through it! Certainly a terrible sign for G0/B0T, this could all be over in just a moment... YETI twists the pick, pulling on G0/B0T as he roars and charges his much smaller foe. Then, shockingly, YETI slams into the arena wall instead of the goblin! Somehow, with a pick stuck all the way through its arm, G0/B0T has managed to dodge the charge! The impact against the stone wall sends cracks down its length and YETI falls to the ground for a moment, stunned from the impact!  G0/B0T was once a Matador, it seems It won't be long before YETI is back to fight, though. G0/B0T may only have a single shot left before being torn asunder! The shot rings true, striking YETI in the leg again. Certainly, not the vital hit required to keep the yeti down. The yeti slowly rises to his feet... and crashes back down to the arena floor a moment later. One final bolt has found true aim and pierced through the copper armor and straight through YETI's kidney, causing the beast to collapse in pain! From there, G0/B0T transforms his opponent into a pincushion. YETI manages to wake up and feebly fight back but the fight is already over. YETI suffocates from a punctured lung a moment later and G0/B0T advances!  Note: G0/B0T didn't have a single point in Dodge, so to avoid that charge was INCREDIBLY lucky! I thought G0/B0T was doomed the instant that second bolt missed. Well fought, ZeeToo! Log: http://pastebin.com/AMgakWJy VladTheEater fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Sep 25, 2011 |

I was concerned about fighting a Troll, then I realized that his adamantine battle axe is wicked expensive, and trolls do not get a lot of points. And he bought armor. And a shield. (Did Tantrum Spiral mention that one of his best friends was killed by a troll recently? This fortress is just wearing on him, I swear) [Edit:] That said, I'm sure I'll get one-shotted off the bat due to dice, probable 8 rank difference in weapon skill or no.

While we review this issue, cPanel and SSH access has been disabled on various platforms. For additional security, we are rotating passwords on a number of accounts. We will honor requests for password resets as they are needed but are attempting to limit the inconvenience to our customers as we're able. FTP is still operational should you wish to access your files at this time and correct any issues you see yourself. We will be working diligently to make cPanel access available again as soon as possible. If there is a defacement on your account, please know that our Systems team is working to get your site back online. If your index.php was modified, they will be restoring it from the most recent backup and no further action is necessary on your part. At this time, we do not have a definitive timeframe for resolution, but we will update this page as we gather more information. We do apologize for this issue, let us know as you have further questions, we'll be glad to answer them as we're able. Please understand it will take our security team some time to review this issue before we can have a full explanation available.

These things happen - according to that article, the guy got one of Google's sites at one point. I'd want to be convinced they were taking measures to prevent it happening again, though. If you do want to move, I'm sure there'd be a home for you on goondorfs.net?

Wow, I'm kind of sad I missed all that excitement. Glad the site is okay! TROLL vs DWARF Bridge squares off against Tantrum Spiral, a real showdown of size versus skill. Tantrum Spiral mutters to himself about how a troll killed his best friend once and slams his war hammer into Bridge's spleen. Bridge takes the hit well, charging forward to rush down his much tinier foe. It misses and Tantrum Spiral lands an ineffective hit. A second charge proves to be much more fruitful, hacking Tantrum Spiral in the lower leg and shearing it clean off!  Size - 1, Skill - 0 Bridge then charges right through his now-unbalanced opponent and knocks him hard to the ground but is unable to follow up with another deadly blow. A few dwarves in the spectator seats suddenly scream. One of them punches a dog, the next begins crying and shouting and the third strips off his clothes and flees his seat. Tantrum Spiral twitches and shouts at the troll towering above him "THAT LEG WAS MY FRIEND!!!" Landing a few blows in a row, a solid hit is delivered to Bridge's foot, blood spilling across the arena floor and knocking him over!  A big, happy cuddle pile Tantrum Spiral continues his rampage, first smashing Bridge hard in the leg and causing him to give in to pain. A few blows to the head later and Bridge is out.  Don't worry, though, the dog that got punched is okay now Combat Log: http://pastebin.com/U7rtdWQJ

GREMLIN vs HUMAN Everypony clops to the arena and the collective crowd is instantly disgusted. Oliver arrives to cheers and cries of "CUT HIS drat HOOVES OFF" to which he grins and promises to oblige. Oliver immediately makes good on his promise, skewering his sword into Everypony, shattering a rib. It seems Everypony is remaining the aggressor, though, chasing Oliver backwards as he leaves a trail of his own blood behind.  The tiny gremlin seems overwhelmed, possibly by Everypony's smell. He is unable to mount another offensive attack as Everypony pursues him around the ring, grappling him and punching him. Eventually, a solid punch to Oliver's head snaps his spine and his sword clatters to the ground.  Everypony seriously has zero skill in wrestling or striking or even fighting, what the hell is this Oliver eventually suffocates and Everypony somehow wins despite having thrown only a single kick all match. I'm going to be sick.  If this isn't proof that Gremlins are currently useless, I don't know what is Combat Log: http://pastebin.com/KHtgaUPy
