Ahem. I didn't say I'll kill your Satan. I said I'll kill THE Satan, a hideous until-then theoretical eldritch abomination existing somewhere in the cosmos, of which your Satan is nothing more than a pale imitation. And that happens centuries from now. I think. You know how time travel can be.

Unless you fancy the prospect of taking the place of one of the three most evil beings in the universe, <"In the singularity of a black hole," the Doctor thinks to himself> I will see you one week after the final.



Any dead satan is good, the politics of hell are inscrutible to any mortal and almost all immortals. His death will send ripples and knock him off his throne, there is a very strange sub-clause in "Ο Βασιλιάς του φαύλου και τις ευθύνες εκε"

Did something just happen? What treacherous vermin changed something? Chekov, Sulu? Spock? Hmph, I seem to be all right.. But be warned, everyone, if I feel the slightest suspicion against anyone again, I will kill them personally without hesitation.

But, what the devil? Where did this picture come from?


Barsquid, can you remember any of this? Remember, I have the full force of the empire to back me up if you don't co-operate!

I wanted to make something for the memorial for gezora, but due to summer vacation ( :woop: ) my internet connectivity has been disturbed and I couldn't post in time. Anyways, so here is a small picture to the best of my abilities(tried to make Gezora helping Kirk "dispose of" too many drinks), signed by Gezora itself(that's supposed to be a suction cup mark). Real glad to have you back in any case, Gezora.

Well, in any case, I claim all winnings in the name of the Empire for all the fights that have gone in my favor, with Count Snakeula and Captain Croctosnake having won.



Not much point in the winnings though, since as soon as the shipborne computer is up and running, I will order it to hold the entire planet in ransom. These creatures, especially the snake, will make a fine addition to the fighting powers of the Empire.
hail the Empire!

I'm loving the alternate world thingee! Too bad I missed all the lead-up! Amazing work to everyone, as always. Sorry for the low quality of the fighters I made, but I don't remember anyone else having done them, so I took them as fair game.

Croctopus is going to make a TIMEBOAT out of the snake and sail off happily into the past. Unlike the snake's alternate past, croctopus' is basically the same except everyone freaking loves boats. Superior boat technology means British naval superiority is never superceded by planes and quicker travel times across the world. The Empire is even more retardedly profitable and decadent, paving the way for Zoofights 3.

It all fits!

(While we wait for the final enjoy this little diversion that we can assume happened before everybody turned into snakes.)

Way out on the fringes of the location of Zoofights V, at a small desert outpost outside the jurisdiction of the official Zoofights officiating committee...



Sports fans itching for more animal carnage in this wasteland get ready to sate their need with a small cockfight of their own. What few spectators there are cut off their betting as the handlers send their would-be zoofighters into the ramshackle ring. Today's competitors are Rawk-It Goose, a hormonally-unbalanced goose equipped with a jetpack and a blonde hairpiece straight out of the 1980s:



and Joesawph Gobbles, a turkey with four chainsaws tacked onto its rump.



The turkey and the goose gaze at each other for a few moments; but then, just as the fight is supposed to start...





Well gently caress



it accidentally leaned its head back when it sneezed.

In retrospect, it's a miracle that this sort of thing didn't happen sooner. :siren: RAWK-IT GOOSE WINS :siren:





edit: I was going to draw more, with a whole big battle between these two, Vuvuzebra, Kalibri Kahn and Citizen Cane (with a possible cameo from Gezora) but I got tired of drawing things and figured I might as well just post the beginning, calling it a fight. Anyway here's some other pictures that would have been used but now have no place in society.


Vuvuzebra just wants to play a little tune leave him alone



Now it's his BIG CHANCE!!! PLAY YOUR HEART OUT VUVUZEBRA




Rawk-It Goose would come back though--with a chainsaw, and a score to settle.



Also, WOLFBIKE II was going to burst out of the doors of this...

but get instantly killed by Kalibri Kahn.

and that's it

now let's go back to regular good old snakefighting

Kalibri-Khan is very, very sorry that he and Citizen Cane did not make it to this event. Two-Kay would like to take full responsibility for missing it. Last evening, he feigned friendship with the Cane-toad and Zebra to assess their weaknesses and took them out for some drinks. Well, one thing sort of led to another, several Whores might've been involved - someone might've dared Citizen Cane to lick himself - you know how these things go. The details are kind of blurry. What's important is, Citizen Cane is probably still alive. Somewhere. Look, things got a little crazy last night. Two-Kay himself just woke up. He doesn't really know, but he's pretty sure it's just a Missing Amphibian Case at the moment. If those official Snakefights Recruiters still wanna talk to Mr. Cane, he'll probably turn up soon.

Finished or not, that was really cool. Nice work.

:frogsiren: BONUS ROUND - DRAW BRUTES, WIN PRIZES :frogsiren:

While the good Major is away getting thoroughly nuptulated, I, the semi-sapient operating system of the Snakefights Pyramid have decided to freshen things up a bit with a

:siren: COMPETITION :siren:

The rules are simple. Draw, paint, or otherwise represent your favourite competitor or scene from Zoofights I or the much maligned Zoofights II. Did I say Zoofights? I'm sure I meant Snakefights.

Yes I meant Zoofights, don't do something crazy like drawing creatures from Zoofights 1 or 2 as snakes, that'll get really confusing.

Once you've created your stunning work of art, post it in this thread with ##COMPETITION in the post body.

The contest is open to everyone, including members of the zoofights art team. Before you go claiming this is unfair, none of our artists will be involved in the judging process and it'll mean more awesome art for everyone. The only people that are ineligible are Major Failure, Mrs Failure and Mr Funkies. And me. Plus, it's not like our artists are paid or anything. If they're lucky they get whipped occasionally.

On their birthday.

:siren: PRIZES :siren:

Yes there are prizes!



1st place will recieve a set of 10 awesome ZOOFIGHTS POSTCARDS
2nd place will recieve 6 very similar AMAZING POSTCARDS
3rd place will receive 3 astoundingly titanic UNBELIEVEABLE POSTCARDS

Plus, all entries will be posted on the website, and the winners (and any others we really like) will be integrated into the Zoofights 1 or 2 pages.

The competition begins now, and ends on Friday, July 23, midnight EST. The winners will be announced a couple of days afterwards. You've got 2 weeks. Good luck!

This is a fake post right? I can think of two things glaringly wrong with this statement. First of all, Zoofights 2 ended because of TOO much interaction by the viewers. Second, which builds off of my first point, I would be the last person to point the finger at here. I can think of no nicer way to say this, but if anyone is going to make this like Zoofights 2, I would be looking at the people who somehow decided they were involved in and an important part of a conflict that started between two voters through several exchanges of nick-knacks and doodads. All that being said, I have two third shifts this weekend that involved sitting on a couch watching TV while two retards sleep. Can I draw? Well enough if I have the time I guess. So I'm going to spend my weekend cleaning up drool and drawing possible outcomes for this fight. We can vote on it later or something.

Super Lesko's vertical climb inches along slower and slower and eventually grinds to a halt. Super Lesko has reached the apex of his crazy jump. His momentum, the creation of which necessitated leaving a small crater during kickoff, has dwindled until a weightless moment where it is overtaken by "Gravity," one of those weird forces that's just all question marks to him. The balance of the forces predictably tips and the figure begins to descend.

Thisss fight will be sssettled like any other Zoofight, with votesss from the loyal viewersss! Ssso allow me to further introduce the fightersss:

Super Lesko



I think you all recognize thisss fighter. Once only a ssshell of a man; now he hasss gathered the ssseven chaosss emeraldsss from massster Robotnik, and become a sssuper being with almossst unparalleled ssstrength! What kind of powersss do I mean? Well, sssimilar to the effect of Sssuper Sssonic, the Lesssko alternative will provide sssimilar powersss including sssuper ssspeed and sssuper ssspeed. Thisss old man will be a force to be reckoned with!

Dr. Robotnik



I alssso presssent to you, the mossst evil of geniussses, the mossst indussstrious of doctorsss, and the most fattest of men... Dr. Robotnik! You know him and love him from the classsic Sssonic the Hedgehog video gamesss and posssibly from the comicsss as well. Dr. Robotnik isss an incredibly intelligent man with excellent ssskills in roboticsss and engineering. The loathsome lord can alssso hold hisss own in combat with hisss robotic arm.

I think the choice isss actually quite sssimple really, and in my unbiasssed opinion the doctor will emerge victoriousss!

This is on a whim, and I don't even know if we could use the random generator thing, but I did figure that voting was the way to wrap this up. I have already drawn up a few pictures for the fight, and am working on the possible outcomes today. Also I don't know how long to keep voting open.
