Vox, Jazzimus, even you Munki, I just want to say, you guys are all the best. The amount of effort you have put into this is really phenomenal, and I think that this wouldn't be nearly as great is it is without you guys working so hard on this, so, thank you. :unsmith:

That said, I can't wait for Brometheus the werewolfbro to wreck some dudes before undoubtedly being wrecked himself. But what a wrecking it shall be.

PS: Ground floor!:woop:

Brometheus the Werebro is ready to wreck face with his superior skills and talents. And awesome fashion sense as well, of course.

Despite my lack of betting, I am still quite upset that the elf lost. That said, good job to senor Dies Horribly, hopefully he doesn't die horribly in his next match (unless it's against my dude, in which case, gently caress 'im).

I'm fighting a dwarf. I'm sure that my death is assured. As such, I've bet all my money on myself. Clearly this is a wise course of action.

Yesss yesss, The Bulbous Loaf will have fun with you.

YOU! My foe! I await our match with baited breath. Based upon his name I assume that your dude is both fat and well, fatter. Seriously though, I'm hoping that your dude is like a wrestler, or that you forgot to spend your points or something. That would be greaaate.

I am so proud of Brometheus right now, you have no idea. Truly, he is a god among werebros. Although, next match I'll have to face that sniper ant, so, who knows, maybe I won't be so proud of him after all. Either way, Adus, you put up a good fight, after all, it's not your fault that The Bulbous Loaf was up against a superior fighter :smug:

Really though, good show and all that, come back next year and such. One thing I am curious about though, how was the dwarf able to outrun the werewolf? I don't know much about DF, so I thought that with standardized stats that the faster fighter would always be the one with more speed?

And yay, there was much rejoicing when Borseidon, King of the Brocean, slew the foul Wrassler, who was most definitely not a bro, and in celebration, eye still clenched in his mouth, he invited all the audience back to his father's dealership for a night of fist-pumping and alcohol drinking, and much fun was had, and many Jaeger-eye Bombs were consumed.

Except by those that were dead. They were not missed.

With a terrifying cry of "Sup!" the terrible ant Aunt was slain with a single blow from his mighty acoustic sword. With a soaring heart and soaring collar, Broseidon leaves the arena to prepare for his next match.

That match report is a thing of beauty. Next question is, what are Glen Starr's chances against Broseidon? This could be messy.

Zero. He, like all the others that angered the gods of Mount. BrOlympus (located on 195 E. Winapeg Ave. Come to Mount BrOlympus for all your dealership needs.) shall be cast down for all eternity, to languish in the pits of Hell, a place in which there are no polos, and there is no 4:20 :colbert:

Or maybe he'll win, who knows.

Noooooooooooo, Broseidon :smith:

I only just realized it would have been a lot more thematic to give him a spear

Because you have an unhealthy obsession with the stunty races.

I feel I should mention the he had a breastplate too, though I'm not sure if he was struck in a area that was protecting by it though.

Broseidon, King of the Brocean, returned to his father's dealership, Mount. BrOlympus (Located on 195 E. Winapeg Ave. Come to Mount BrOlympus for all your dealership needs, bro.) and was greeted with much fanfare and celebration, as, to quote his father, "We never expected the idiot to actually make it past the first round, especially not when he demanded that we make him armor with a collar. But hell, with all the publicity we got from this, I couldn't care less!"

Unfortunately, Broseidon was found dead the following morning, and it was later discovered that he melted down his bronze medal and drank it, on a dare from one of his many bros, "Because it would be totally hardcore of him."

I think beating someone to death with their own discarded clothing may be among the most metal ways to kill a dude.

Do you see Brometheus? Do you see him? Are you looking at him? Are YOU looking at HIM!? Do you see it? Do you see his poise? His grace? His skill?

That's the skill of a Bro-God baby. A Brod. Do you know what he did? Do you? That motherfucker is the Brod that brought the the Natty Light from Brolympus to you. That was him, he did that. Do you see his opponent? Do you? Are you looking at him?

He's a Strangler. Nuff' said.

Come at him bro, come at him.

From the primordial abyss of the Internet, I return to enter another fighter into the arena, to continue the glorious tradition! So yeah good to be back dudes, hope my team and I don't get horribly murdered by Gremlins or something. :unsmith:

I am certain Paper Machette, elven swordsperson extraordinaire will perform quite well! I promise he won't have a wooden sword. Probably.

Edit: Oh and yeah, it should be noted that it's probably gonna be more important to have a higher skill in this early stage rather than a better weapon. I think around 5 is considered a good point to get to before you start investing a lot in fighting? I dunno it's been literally years since I made a dude for this, after all. :v:

Edit the second \/\/\/: You better believe they can. All shields, all the time.

Yeah, that was a very noble by the molewoman. Now, if only a CERTAIN moleperson could learn to FOLLOW THEIR EXAMPLE, perhaps their team wouldn't have lost their first match! It's always Spermy's fault. Always.
