 *ding ding ding* It's Battle Season in BYOB!! Time to see what my fellow yobbers are made of and if you really are all as tough, brutal and relentless as the grey forums always say. Here's how to enter the ring and bring glory: Step 1: Post whatever ITT Step 2: If someone quotes your post, the two posts fight Step 3: The crowd decides who wins by emptyquoting the winning post Step 4: The winner takes it all, the loser gets probed It's that simple! Posts can be anything: a joke, a drawing, a discussion, a picture of your pet, a song, a photoshop, a video, whatever goes! The challenging post can be a cool follow up, but does not have to be related to the post it attacks - although it might make sense to have some sort of connection, as else the crowd (or I) might turn against you. Either way, if your post gets less votes than the other one for whatever reason, you will be probed and can enter the ring again after 6 hours. Emptyquoting to vote for a winner means both quoting without any comment or commenting like "lol", "this one wins" and similar short answers to show your appreciation for the post. Be careful though, if your vote actually appears like a follow up or challenge, I may as well just throw you both in the ring and you fight anyways! There's no minimum or maximum number of votes needed to win or lose, I'll just end the voting and declare a winner after a bit. If in doubt, I will decide who wins based on my completely arbitrary judgment of what post I like more. Now, who of you maggots is ready for some FIGHTING??

Alright, let's see what you folks did while I was Round 1 - owlhawk vs. cda owlhawk911 posted:first cda wins with 3 votes to none! Round 2 - magic cactus vs. cda magic cactus posted:*cracks arthritic knuckles, wincing slightly* cactus wins with 3 votes to none! Round 3 - Myself vs. el dorito el dorito posted:I challenge thee I win with ALL THE VOTES FOR ME, what you think you can challenge ME?! You are not prepared!! Round 4 - owlhawk vs. SWR owlhawk911 posted:if i lose enough of these can i just be banned and/or stoned in the town square? SweetWillyRollbar posted:Stones In the Town Square: My Gap Year Still waiting for results Round 5 - Chubby vs. nut ChubbyChecker posted:whatever ITT Still waiting for results, currently 2 votes to none for nut Additionally, cactus delivered one follow up against cda (which can't be counted, as he already won the fight) and challenged several valid votes with additional attacks, I leave it up to the authors of the votes if they want to accept that challenge by posting a counter-attack on cactus or if they want to let that opportunity for eternal glory pass. The challenges in question are: magic cactus posted:Here is a joke: magic cactus posted:I should probably mention that's crossposted from the GBS garfield eats thread, just so folks don't get any inflated ideas about my photoshop skills. I don't fight dirty.  Except for votes, which you can (but don't have to) deny entry for. Also, there are some unchallenged posts up as well, feel free to brawl!!

Updates: Round 4 - owlhawk vs. SWR owlhawk911 posted:if i lose enough of these can i just be banned and/or stoned in the town square? SweetWillyRollbar posted:Stones In the Town Square: My Gap Year With a brutal 0-0 I will take a vote here and declare SWR the winner to answer owlhawk's question with a clear and decisive yes! Round 5 - Chubby vs. nut ChubbyChecker posted:whatever ITT nut gloriously takes the win on this one with three votes to none! Round 7 - Lucavi vs. DB Lucavi posted:I punch u Dick Bastardly posted:i run from where i am to where your fist is going and i put my face there A brutal fight right here, currently 2-2 and even though I would normally take this opportunity to veto a winner, my personal feelings for Lucavi would make this unfair on a level even I cannot defend, so I will wait for at least one more vote on either party to decide who takes the throne on this, so vote away!!

owlhawk911 posted:just wanted to say it hurts my heart and makes me feel very unwelcome getting probed 5hrs before bedtime (worst time) despite clearly winning 1-0 Oh no, I missed the crowd's will on this one, I'm so sorry, my steel muscles must have absorbed the crowd demanding action and my eyes were just too muscular to properly read this thread!! As is the honorable way of the Warrior, your request is valid and I will probe myself for mistakingly probing you. It's what you would have wanted.  I will never let you down again, my proud warriors. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Holy poo poo, we are in a  WARZONE now!!Update: Round 9 - treasure bear vs uxzuigal treasure bear posted:i will battle u treasure bear posted:i surrender Uxzuigal posted:I will make french toast out of you. THE MEGA ROUND 11 - Lucavi vs. DB Lucavi posted:ok so who's next Lucavi posted:*blocks front* Lucavi posted:it's over, now walk 5 steps Lucavi posted:prepare to die Dick Bastardly posted:*picks self up offf the floor from last bashing, raises hand and grins a less toothy grin* Dick Bastardly posted:*mashes buttons frantically, crying* Dick Bastardly posted:but there's sharks in this lagoon Dick Bastardly posted:yes, Inigo Montoya, sir It's actually four separate fights that are going on here, I decided to sum it all up into one mega fight! Whoever loses this will get an extra brutal recovery probe for the magical 12 hour duration (assuming I get an admin to approve it, else it'll be a 6er), and the grand champion of this amazing battle will be given a free forums certificate of your choice by me!

UPDATES Round 8 - ulvir vs. super mario batali ulvir posted:pucker up i’m here to claim my prize super mario batali posted:I put on my wizard hat and cloak Round 9 - treasure bear vs uxzuigal treasure bear posted:i will battle u treasure bear posted:i surrender Uxzuigal posted:I will make french toast out of you. THE MEGA ROUND 10 (sorry I said 11 earlier, it's 10 unless I'm bad at counting) - Lucavi vs. DB Lucavi posted:ok so who's next Lucavi posted:*blocks front* Lucavi posted:it's over, now walk 5 steps Lucavi posted:prepare to die Dick Bastardly posted:*picks self up offf the floor from last bashing, raises hand and grins a less toothy grin* Dick Bastardly posted:*mashes buttons frantically, crying* Dick Bastardly posted:but there's sharks in this lagoon Dick Bastardly posted:yes, Inigo Montoya, sir So this got less of a crowd reaction than expected, but nevertheless, it is a 5-0 for DB! That means DB wins the grand forum cert, please pm me with which you want, then I'll buy it for you! Lucavi, my lovely friend, I am so sorry, but you lost and must have to go on the bench for a few hours to heal. Since the admins are currently very busy due to unbyob stuff, I rather not annoy them with getting a 12er approved and just go with a regular 6er (please don't be mad about this, but the sooner people can post again the better anyways!). Another huge rear end fight. which I summed up into a big one! Round 11 (the real 11 now) - Dell Zincht vs. COAD Dell_Zincht posted:I want to fight Dell_Zincht posted:Not Lucavi though I don't fight girls Dell_Zincht posted:Let's do this Crime on a Dime posted:This is quite clear. Crime on a Dime posted:She is out of your league Crime on a Dime posted:You’re done. Currently on a 1-0 for Dell, awaiting further results! Same rules as with the other mega-round, the winner gets a free cert of your choice! The loser gets a regular 6er as before. FIIIIIIIIGHT!

Crime on a Dime posted:This is quite clear. Crime on a Dime posted:She is out of your league Crime on a Dime posted:You’re done. Looks to me a like good fight ending 3-2 for COAD, hurray! Please PM me to tell me what cert you'd like to get! Round 12 - Dell vs. DB Dell_Zincht posted:And I was in your corner, too Dick Bastardly posted:I thought the competition was too easy for ya Oh oh oh, after a shocking turn of events during the vote in the big battle, it looks like these two are off to no good! You better get in the ring, because the crowd can vote for or against you!! Round 13 - old friend vs. Uxzuigal old friend posted:Heh, an easy victory. Come back when you've trained harder Uxzuigal posted:So you think this is easy? That leaves only Round 12 open for votes currently, feel free to get both votes in or enter the ring, we will only consider stopping the bloodshed when there's no more glory to get! Or when they have really good pizza next door at least.

Round 12 - Dell vs. DBDell_Zincht posted:And I was in your corner, too Dick Bastardly posted:I thought the competition was too easy for ya In a shocking turn of events, dell gets his bloody vengeance and defeats DB in a 5-0, with DB sacrificing himself as well! DB requested to not be probated for a specific timeframe in order to not interfere with another forum game, which is why I waited a bit to resolve this round. I hope it's fine now! Round 14 - HP vs. owl Heather Papps posted:I dont know if it'd even be fair. Maybe if I post without vowels or something owlhawk911 posted:please schedule my probation for approximately 11pm CST, as i need to sleep and cannot stop posting. i would like to courteously request Johannes Brahms' "Wiegenlied: Guten Abend, Gute Nacht", Op. 49, No. 4 as accompaniment. god bless us, each and every one The fighting may never end

Alright I kinda forgot to post an update because I was busy training my steel muscles in the wilderness, sorry. Round 15 - SeaGoatSupreme vs. excellent bird guy SeaGoatSupreme posted:Come at me you flea-bitten turd huffers excellent bird guy posted:
Aaaand scene! With a final 3-0 the excellent bird takes this fight home! With this battle being over, I am announcing the closure of new submissions. You now have a last chance to fight a last round, once I post itt again all battles will be decided and this thread can go to its final resting place (beyond page 3 of byob). The glory you earned here will forever be remembered.

And with that the final battle is over! What an exciting fight on all fronts. We officially end the battle royal fight club (for now) with Round 16 - HP vs Dell Heather Papps posted:Help mods Heather Papps posted:Ok! Good luck I have an advanced technique Dell_Zincht posted:I'll fight u Assuming bird wanted to vote for dell here (you should have used the quoting post for that) this would be a clean 2-1 for HP, if that wasn't a vote it's even going 2-0! Either way, HP won and will take the glory of being the last winner in this epic tale of brutality. You may all post freely now, may your muscles be steel and your mind even steeler.
