Yep. So can werewolves and everything larger, I believe.

Vox, do previous tournament winners get to use their free items in this tourney because I can't actually find anything regarding the free gold shield/whatever when I outfit my fighter.

I decided to cut it down to the point that only the winner(s) of the immediately previous tournament get bonus gear, so only Bene Elim gets his champion's equipment for this round.

Currently 3 or so people entered in the battle royale. Let's get it up to ~10 for a suitably gruesome event!

There's something that I've been curious about that I see on the website: Betting. I've looked through both threads and every page of the arena site, but I can't find any actual information on it. So I ask this:

What's up with Betting? What/Who exactly are we betting on? What are we wagering with? Who is capable of betting? Is there any real reward for betting?

Just... I'm a bit confused with it being blatantly right there, yet there's absolutely /no/ information that I can find about it.

My betting in the last tournament quickly left me broke and destitute.

Now that I've got all that losing out of the way, putting absolutely no points into anything in an attempt to get the most out of that sweet, sweet 20% interest rate will surely pay off big.

They should get right to the killing as long as they can see each other. Make sure that you don't have them assigned to teams. Or at least that they're on separate teams.

As many people seem to have, I'm going into this only with knowledge gained from past tournaments. I suspect this is going to lead to the terrible and bloody murder of a full half of all fighters.

Glad to see people finishing up their tournament builds! We currently only have three people entered in the battle royale fight. If you missed the initial sign-ups and are reading this right now, go ahead and make a free-for-all fighter! You've got nothing to lose, and a lot of glory to earn! I'm going to go ahead and give the winner of the battle royale, who earns the right of participating in the tournament at large, a special prize that will aid them in the tournament.

You do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to the Cult of the Crushing Wave."
Ethelgreen the Unready is, well, I stuck a label on his weapon saying "Stick this in the other guys" and gave him a big thumbs up, so he's good to go, I guess. Oh! If his opponent could point out where they keep their vital organs when he gets there, that would be brilliant, thanks.

I spent a lot of time testing against Minotars before I read about the bug. I was about to complain about how overpowered they seemed.

So no more testing. Just going to send The Bulbous Loaf blindly into the breach. Maybe a yeti will die by choking on one of his bones.
