Magarth - Team Red
"RAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
Force Larry's hand down with the force of twenty-seven French political party techo-raves. Break his hand if necessary.
Name: Magarth Tuchivimov
Description: An elite soldier from the Neo-Capitalist-Communist-Fascist-Libertarian-Republic-Kingdom of the Soviet Union, who killed 289 terrorists and filthy dissidents during his military service. In actuality, he spends the day roaming the streets and mugs various pedestrians, stealing any coffee creamer they have. He claims this is, "All part of the defense strategy."

((I kinda thought we were waiting for bets. Oh well!))
"Grrrrr..."
Push him down, fast and hard. Win this outright and quick.
Toaster ain't got no sheet. So he ain't got no bonuses. Oh dear.
AND BETS ARE CLOSING....NOW! The Host shouts as he releases his grip on the contestant's hands. Magarth gets a slight early lead, and presses it aggressively, slamming larry's hand into the cuff almost before he can react. The cuff slams shut and a single very sharp blade extends up from the armrest and cleanly severs Larry's arm just below the elbow.
OHHHHHH, The Host shouts over Larry's screaming
You get it? Unarmed combat? He chuckles to himself.
Well, that was quick, wasn't it? Looks Magarth here gets himself 5 points and the rest of his team gets 1.
Oh no! That leaves us in quite the pickle for the elimination! By my count we have FOUR way tie of people who could be eliminated! It's a bit much, isn't it? Lets see...I believe it's Cromwell, Navarro, Piecewise and Kriellya who are eligible with one point a piece!
Now, we can have them play a nice elimination game to decide who goes, OR we can let the audience choose! What say you, loyal studio audience? (Larry rolled two 1's in a row. The kind that, even if he had a 1/3rd or even 2/3rds bonus it wouldn't have helped.)
AUDIENCE AND NON-PARTICIPANTS Ask if we can throw things while they fight.
"C'mon! It'll be more fun!"
You can indeed.
(( PW, just checking, but is Pan's bet still live and/or should it be paid? ))
Description: A short, 29 year old woman. Has pale skin and medium length sea-green hair, tied back in a ponytail. Otherwise looks like she belongs in a library, not a deathmatch.
Reason for signing up: Was looking at bankruptcy and eternal ruin, or come die for the people's entertainment.

You gotta survive the whole episode first.
The Wasted Bastard slowly becomes aware of the person underneath him starting to move, coming out of their OD stupor. He mildly backhands the guy, knocking him out with a dose of... whatever he's covered with. He slowly leans forward, then stands up to lean over the rail and stare down at the contestants. He waves over some staff and asks,
Hey, could I get something for this headache? One of those needles with the purple stuff. I got these... I dunno, is this money? ...I could give you 'money' for the purple stuff. And, uh... take the rest of it and put it on that blue person.
Name: Wasted Bastard
Description: A guy who's so thin that his bones show, and his hips form a bowl in which stuff can be held. His stringy greasy hair is falling out in chunks, but reaches down to his lowest rib. His eyes bulge out like nothing you've ever seen, and dart this way and that without end. He's coated in a blue crystalline powder, probably from rolling in some drugs like a cat with catnip.
Reason for signing up: Out of money for drugs and food and rent, so need, like, 20 bucks to make it this month.

Nathan Schmidt says he's got your best interest in mind. He says he wants to roll back taxes. He says he wants to increase freedom of speech and reinstate the right to assemble. He says he wants to make this a government for the ordinary citizen, not a plutocracy which seeks only to protect the wealth of it's richest citizens.
But let me ask you something? Are you gonna listen to a man whose last name sounds dangerously close to Shit?
Paid for by the foundation to get Nathan Schmidt Assassinated.
