I, too, have entered a fighter, none other than the esteemed and well-regarded A Lost Cowman, who most certainly wasn't just lured to the gladiator pen with promises of food and cowladies.

Are Werewolves and Tigerman still the same stats? In the OP it looks like they have differences.

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

Is that 18 total matches, or 18 tournament rounds (Eg. each team gets 18 matches)? Because with the 16 team split 18 matches doesn't really sound like much.

One last set of questions:

1: Has the games automatic variability of created creatures in the arena been dealt with (Super muscular yeti one round, super weak yeti the next)?

2: Will we be getting points to spend after each round (In addition to the participation bonus points)? Or just during the playoffs? This is not specified in the OP.

1. Yes, the variance has been dealt with. There will still be some variance, but it will be much, much smaller than before.

2. During the 18 match season, only the participation bonus points will be awarded. During the playoffs, a larger number of points will be awarded for advancing.

I should probably read the OP.

e: So this is a team-based tournament? Assume I wasn't really tracking the last thread.

...

As mentioned before, the current tournament will feature an 18-match season leading up to a single-elimination playoff. After each seasonal match, all killed fighters will be resurrected and all injured fighters will be healed in preparation for the next match.

How big are the teams?

Originally I had planned on teams of 3. I have increased the size to teams of 4 because it looked like there was enough demand for participation to support it.

:siren: ATTENTION: Anyone who entered a Molemarian, Werewolf, Tigerman, Minotaur, Troll, or Yeti into the tournament: :siren:

Because I was an idiot and forgot to reset some settings for this tournament, you may have paid more than you should have if you purchased armor or striking skill for your fighter.

I've edited the rules to fix the problem so large fighters won't be overcharged going forward, and I've reimbursed any fighters who were overcharged. Check your fighter, you may still have some points left to spend now!
