//===============================
// ~~Notice~~
// I have found my answer - Arena organization is incredibly tedious with only a minimal return of fun and !!Fun!!.
// Especially when it comes to pvp style Arena setups. Thus, I'll be thinking of a way to make this amusing and competitive at the // same time. The current tournament is postponed until...a few hours, I guess.
//===============================


It seems that Arenas don't last very long. Not enough bloodshed? Too much stuff to sift through? I can't tell.

I know I didn't read almost all of the intro to both arenas because TL:DR.  Short attention span 'n such.

And thus.

The third Arena will now be opened by an amateur entrepreneur!
Backed up by the Arena Hosting Union. Because apparently opening an area without a permit is a Hammerable offense.

Rules

//==============
// General
//==============
-Registration for a tournament lasts 24 hours. (change subject to notice)
-Assuming an odd number of participants, one NPC will be added in.
     :This means that all players are player characters.
-All entrants will have their spots randomly rolled via Random Number Generator.
-Losers are losers and gets no second chance. This might be changed in the future assuming the arena doesn't go bankrupt 

//=================
// Player Customization
//=================
-Name your character (Default name is your Forum name)
-Select your skills (5 points total)
     -Novice skill level: 1 point
     -All subsequent skill levels cost 1 point more than the previous level.
     -Basically adventure mode creation with 1 instead of 5. -shrug-
     -If you don't have all 5 points listed, extras will go to Fighter. If Fighter doesn't qualify I'll move down the list as necessary.
     -If you have more than 5 points but can't remember, place your desired fields of extra points where spare points will go to. This takes precedence over the previous rule. (See Template for details)

-Select your equipment (3 points total)
     -Unless otherwise stated each equip piece takes 1 point.
     Equip list

     -Weapons-
     Gladius
     Battle Axe
     Warhammer
     Spear

     Gauntlets
     Low Boots
     Chain Legging
     Buckler
     
     

     All equips are Iron. Union laws.
-If the equip list looks underwhelming, that's the point. Union says blood is good.
-Assuming things pick up new equipment will be added.
-All races are assumed equal
     Races Allowed

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Human
Dwarf
Elf
Kobold (gets +1 skill point to Kobold)

-You can have more than 1 combatant per team.
     =Cannot have more combatants than customization points (so if only 3 equip points are available, max team size is 3 people)
     =Skill points and Equip points are shared among all combatants. So if you have a team of 2 with 5 skill points, both team members' skill points must add up to 5.

//=================
// Winning and Losing
//=================
-CPU control on all combatants.
-Any skill gains in combat (above dabbling) are kept, however unlikely that is.

//=======================

[Ashsaber]

I guess I did a poor job explaining.

5 Points of Skill
3 Points of Equip
Shared among everybody on the team. (So larger teams will be less well equipped/well trained than solo units).
As in, all characters in the team added together have 5 points of skill, 3 points of equip.

Again this is subject to change depending on how the whole thing goes, but for now. 

[Bobnova]

Ooohhhhh, ok. I'll update it.

Updated.

//======================
// Match Results
//=======================
Match 1, 1st Round - Bobnova vs Nav
Messups in char creation: 3

Bobnova had the first hit, landing a slash on Nav's right upper leg that was largely ineffectual due to Union Iron Chain Leggings.
The two then exchanged a few blows, dancing around each other.
Nav then had enough and stabbed Bobnova in the right foot with such force it flew off and hit the side of the arena.
Nav then charged at Bobnova, who valiantly struck back but was denied by a deft punch to the thumb.
Nav's second blow caused his Halberd to be lodged into Bobnova's arm. Apparently the Halberd wasn't very deep in since it could be twisted without the arm coming off. Either that or Bobnova's a badass.
Nav then pulled the Halberd out and lopped Bobnova's other arm off.
And then. After nearly losing both arms and a foot, Bobnova kept on fighting valiantly. Badass Points +1.
Nav's final blow was to stab Bobnova in the chest.
Bobnova did not die.
Bobnova BIT Nav IN THE FOOT, latched on, and bled to death.

Victor: Nav

Match 1, 2nd Round - MadMarkul vs Nav
Creation Messups: 0

Unfortunately MadMarkul did not fare as well as Bobnova.
His first attack, a charging blow with his mace, was neatly avoided and earned him a Halberd to his stomach.
From behind. While he rushed by. Nav Coolness +1
Nav then decided to scratch MadMarkul on the foot.
Apparently MadMarkul wasn't good with scratches as he vomited everywhere.
Nav then aimed for MadMarkul's right arm, no doubt in an attempt to repeat his fight with Bobnova.
MadMarkul's arm was made a little better and it stayed on the body.
Nav's answer to the slightly stronger arm was a running punch aimed at the left leg.
MadMarkul vomits.
Nav apparently wasn't too fond of vomit, as he then chopped MadMarkul to shreds.
1st Shot: Low body, guts come out
MadMarkul, to his credit, attempted to fight back while vomiting gutlessly.
2nd Shot: Right foot, flies off.
3rd Shot: Right upper leg, bone shattered.
4th Shot: Low body, artery opened, Halberd twisted.
MadMarkul lost his mace.
5th Shot: Left upper arm.
MadMarkul passes out.
Nav finished it with a chop to the head and sent it flying, where it came to rest near Bobnova's foot.

Victor: Nav

Match Victor: Doomsponge
Score: Novaworks !!Ethanol!! : 0 / Doomsponge : 1

=======================================
Match 2, Bobnova, MadMarkul vs Nav
Creation Messups: 1
Perks: Nav Fighter skill +1 for the round

Revenge of the ganging ups!

MadMarkul charged into Nav, knocking him over.
Bobnova lopped Nav's right hand off.
MadMarkul broke Nav's left arm.
Nav loses his Halberd.
Bobnova attempts leg cut #2, and is stopped by the chain leggings again.
MadMarkul breaks Nav's right foot.
Bobnova suddenly said something about a buggy and punched Nav in the arm.
MadMarkul breaks Nav's other leg with his mace. The leg Bobnova wasn't aiming at.
Bobnova takes Nav's right arm off.
And from there it was 3 pages of MadMarkul breaking every bone in Nav's body while Bobnova flailed about semi-uselessly.

except for this little gem.

Nav bites Bobnova on the arm and doesn't let go.
For 2 pages.
He finally let go when MadMarkul lopped the head off and Bobnova threw it away in disgust.
Also Bobnova's throwing arm isn't as strong as Nav's chopping arm. The head didn't fly as far.
Nav's Badass points +2.

Victor: MadMarkul (last blow)

Match Victor: Novaworks !!Ethanol!!
Score: Score: Novaworks !!Ethanol!! : 1 / Doomsponge : 1

============================================
Match 3 - 1st round - MadMarkul vs Nav
Creation Messups: 2
Perks: MadMarkul Fighter skill +1 for the round

Nav...wasn't too happy with being ganged up on.
He made a rather poor showing of it at first, however.
Nav's first attack was a shaft strike on MadMarkul's hand. I assume it was a vulgar gesture.
Nav's second attack was a stab to the left arm.
MadMarkul swung back but was blocked.
Nav made two attempts at MadMarkul's right foot, the second swing suceeding barely.
MadMarkul could still move and swung at Nav.
This displeased Nav.
Nav stabbed MadMarkul on the left foot.
MadMarkul fell, making a desperate attack at Nav which hit only air.
Nav stabbed MadMarkul on the left leg and twists the Halberd. Warning from the Union Arena Federation: twisting a Halberd makes you look stupid if you stand too close to the ax blade. 
Nav then disregarded his halberd entirely and punched some of MadMarkul's bones loose.
MadMarkul lost consciousness, and Nav was polite enough to end it with a decapitation via Halberd.

Victor - Nav
Bonus - 100% Health

Match 3 - 2nd round - Bobnova vs Nav
Creation Messups: 0

Coming right out of the gate, Nav chops Bobnova's right arm off.
Unfazed, Bobnova punched Nav square in the chest.
Nav then charged at Bobnova, but the combined weight of the human and halberd wasn't enough.
Nav bounced backwards.
Nav then bit Bobnova on the hand and bit down hard.
Bobnova, showing dexterity and reach unusual for a dwarf, chops off Nav's right foot, and then shakes his hand free.
Bobnova then repaid Nav the favor of the arm shot by slashing Nav's left arm, rendering it effectively useless.
Bobnova attempts leg chop #3, to no avail still.
Bobnova stabs Nav in the low body and bruises his pancreas. Not sure how the announcer caught that.
Bobnova attempts leg chop #4 and manages to bruise Nav. Barely.
Bobnova makes a bad hit, and Nav capitalizes on it, but the one armed Halberd swing didn't have enough oomph, and the attack bounced off harmlessly.
Seeing the weakened Halberd, Bobnova moves in and takes off Nav's left foot.
Bobnova then flails semi-uselessly at Nav's body on the ground.
Nav bleeds to death after rolling away from Bob's bad slash.

rofl, I love it.
If it's possible to get health status screens that'd be great. Or arena screens showing the pieces, or both.

I'll add skills in a bit here.
