A good round! Great fights, Barrelbum advances, I bet 6 of 8, and got up to 2nd in the betting leaderboards. Congratulations rickvoid on making serious money there, by the way.

Christ, what an asshole.
It's a Christmas miracle! Dies Horribly is going all the way!

Checking the combat log, what a difference this awesome commentary makes.

I'll get Dies updated ASAP. Work has blocked the Arena Challenge website (apparently they think we're actually gambling here), and I'm without home internet until I can get somebody out to set up new service, so it may be a bit.

By the end of this tournament, you will beleive a Goblin can... basically do whatever the hell he wants.

Once all the fighters are updated, we'll be able to open betting for the next round.

We're currently still waiting on:

ZeeToo, manager of Horza
longgonejohn, manager of Clown Baby
TurninTrix, manager of Junai
Anchors, manager of Dr Stranglelove
RickVoid, manager of Dies Horribly

I expect RickVoid will update later today, as will Anchors probably (who had been waiting on a password reset which was just sent). I've sent a notice to the other three managers. Seems only right to give them at least a week or so, given the holidays and all. I'll set a hard deadline for shortly after the New Year (let's say January 4th 8:00 PM U.S. CST), after which fighters will be made available for adoption as before.

I'm getting so pumped for this. My brain says barrelbum, but my heart says dr stranglelove. A finals match with the two of them would make my day.

You think Barrelbum can defeat Dies Horribly? Even after you just saw what Dies Horribly did to the LAST Tigerman contestant? And you realize that Dies Horribly gets to upgrade more than Barrelbum does...

Granted, I know that Barrelbum might not get matched with Dies Horribly, but still. Either Barrelbum will encounter Dies, or he'll encounter someone that managed to kill Dies. I just can't see it.

I think the halberd is what sets barrelbum apart from pip, yeah. I'm not rooting for a tigerman here, I'm rooting for a halberd.

Dies horribly is another favorite of mine, but double-pick is just such a badass fighter setup.

After the time has expired, I'll put the fighters up for adoption, at which point it will be first come, first served. You have to wait just like everyone else. :colbert:

We're still waiting for longgonejohn to update Clown Baby and for RickVoid to update Dies Horribly.

And that's Dies training completed. Went on a little shopping spree, turns out the poor guy didn't own shoes! Or pants. We may have fixed one of those two issues.

Now if we can get the next round going I can place all my dwarfbucks on the money train- why are you all staring at me like that?

And now that Dies is updated, we're only waiting on longgonejohn, who has until January 4th 2014, 8:00 PM CST, to update his fighter, after which point I will put the fighter up for adoption in this thread.

It will be first-come, first-served AFTER my first post in this thread after the time expires, and only players who do not still have a fighter left in the tournament are eligible to adopt. Will it go to Bad Munki, or to Spermy Smurf, or to someone else? You, the reader, perhaps? Or will longgonejohn update his fighter in time, rendering it all a moot point? We'll see!

Happy New Year from the Arena Challenge team! :toot:

Look, let me just put it this way for all of you that don't get it:

Give me the fighter, and there's literally no possible way he will win. Betting on the opponent will be a sure thing.

Sadly, it appears that longgonejohn is long gone after all. :(

Clown Baby is now officially available for adoption. First one without a fighter left in the tournament to request him, gets him.
