Fighter thrown out of the arena... :stare:

Has toady put in throwing creatures multiple z-levels in 2014, or was this always a distant possibility?

Thanks for the guide, Jazzimus! Figured it was going to work something like that, bit it's nice to have confirmation. Definitely up to run some fights this week.

I believe creatures and objects moving in projectile arcs was introduced in the 2012 update.

Winning by ring out is pretty cool. I doubt it could happen without the huge size difference we saw there though.

I'm not asking for much here. I just want to pulp one head. Just one. []Pulpy Van Winkle[/b] for Hammerer 2014!

Y'know, I can't remember if a.) I ever used my adamantine gauntlets I won in tournament 1, and b.) if I did, if I wasn't allowed to use them forever.

E: Also, that ring-out was incredible and I'm loving jelly.

While we wait for the second round to start, congratulations to the following gamblers...

Silverminnow, who is leading the betting standings after getting it right on a single all-in longshot bet.

Pickled Tink, who went an amazing FIVE FOR FIVE betting in the first round.



And our most sincere goondolences to...

Goatface and Podima, who both had very unfortunate luck on the first round gambling boards, each going zero for four. I propose that just for this test tournament, we give them each an extra 750 dwarfbucks to bet with! But you can all override this decision... what say you?
Friendly hint: Their newly-gotten funds will probably just end up back in your pockets anyway

I feel the same way about the company bearing the same name.

I have once again put ALL OF MY DORFBUX on Daggum Polecats to win, so there's a big payout of 10 dorfbux waiting for whoever bets on the other team!

I agree, it's something fun to do.

I am in for commissioner so assign when ready.

Edit: I went 0/3 on bets and have 10 dwarfbucks left too. How am I so bad at this betting thing. I should just start betting against Bad Munki's team.

Let's give them some dwarfbucks! It's more fun with more people betting anyway.

I'm also debating running fights as I have a bunch of free time in at least the near future and it doesn't look too demanding.

Wouln't this cause some kind of quantum break? You can't win a bet, and Bad Munki can't win a fight. It'd be like a perpetually spinning cat with a piece of buttered toast tied to it's back, the fight would never end and the thread would collapse!

Podima and goatface, you should both have some dwarfbucks to bet with now.

ZeeToo, Bene Elim, Spermy Smurf, and Maugrim, you should now see a Commissioners option on the site left panel.


:siren: For this next round, I'm proposing: :siren:

ZeeToo runs fights 1 and 2 (i.e. the Boatmurdered Division fights)

Maugrim runs fights 3 and 4 (i.e. the Gemclod Division fights)

Spermy Smurf runs fights 5 and 6 (i.e. the Syrupleaf Division fights)

Bene Elim runs fights 7 and 8 (i.e. the Bronzestabbed Division fights)


Commissioners, are you all cool with that? we'll just assume Spermy Smurf is since he's probably already on a plane to the Bahamas or whatever for the weekend

:ohdear: I have a policy of only betting on teams that haven't been bet on yet, in order to help get some real betting action going. It was nothing personal against you guys. :(

If for whatever reason the commissioners can't run their two fights I would be willing to. I won't do the Bronzestabbed division fights as my team is in it though.

I imagine with multiple commissioners it doesn't really matter what order the fights are done?

Well, the site currently expects the fights to be run in a certain order, although there's no reason this needs to continue to be the case if I can update the back-end code to let commissioners choose a fight to run. Right now the site automatically selects the next fight for them.

Ah okay. It just seems to make sense if you are assigning specific fights to specific commissioners to allow all of those fights to be run right away. This would help alleviate any lull in between fights caused by commissioners being unavailable for a few days or whatever.

With multiple commissioners, letting them run concurrently seems logical.

The first fight includes Bad Munki so you don't even have to run it, just mark it as an embarrassing loss for his team and move on.

Much better, thank you.

Here, I'll just give a quick rundown of the fight:

Teams start on opposing sides and charge at each other. Before any other fighters can meat, Knuckle Dragger is bitten on the head (which explodes) and picked up by the stump. The fighter holding him in his mouth begins to shake him around violently, causing his slade gauntlets to fling off in opposite directions. Said gauntlets slam into the heads of his team mates, causing them to instantly fall unconscious, at which point they are handily murdered in their sleep. Victory goes to The Wild Animals, 3-0.
