Dumb

[Unraveller]

Right, but here is where I have a dilemma, way back on the first page I promised FearsomeClarinet that there would be plenty of time to wait and make their gladiator. And as it turns out there was not, do I simply say better luck next time? Or find a way to include them?

[DS]

I say wait. This thread has only been up for 12 hours - surely there are many who would participate, but simply haven't checked the forums. The rate of new entrants has been pretty steady, and it will probably continue.

A fight to the death for all competitors who are over the limit? like a large all out war?

I wish to enter Narhtan the Crundle Bundle

Class: Crundle.                360p

Skills:
  -Professional dodger  180p
  -Proficient biter.           60p
  -Skilled lasher              50p
  -(novice?) Swimmer    2p
  -Competent armor user 12p
Items:
  -Iron whip.           29p
  -leather shirt.      12p
  -leather helm.      6p
  -leather graves.    9p

I hope his high dodging will be able to account for his lack of strength/squishyness.
Also sign him up for any/all exhibition matches, I'm keen to watch him (hopefully) whip it, whip it gooood.

I am so glad that someone is playing a Crundle!

All right, that settles it, I just cannot turn people down. There will be more than 16 gladiators, tomorrow, when I wake up, I will likely lock the sign ups however. I can find a way to include everyone into the bracket. I cannot have any gladiators go through more fights than any others, or else there would be a disparity in their power.

I'm think that there will have to be some preliminary round to determine who gets one of the sixteen spots in the bracket. Right now, I need suggestions.

EDIT: Perhaps you are right. The problem is that I am a little daunted by running a 32 man tournament. Though you really bring a good point.

I can't draw, here is a shitty serpent-men battlesong about how Pliskin the Miasmagnificient will eat Steapa the northman !

I sure do love how people are already creating media for a game that hasn't even begun yet. Bravo!

16 is alright, there can always be another tourney. From what I read from previous gladiator tournament, if it drags on too long it causes problems. But really I don't mind whatever happens, just my opinion. Also there can be more, they just get free pass at either round 1 or 2.

[Unraveller]

See, that was my thought earlier and the problem I am facing, I don't want this to drag on and become a bore. But I cannot tell the people who've been accepted to make some room.

So, tourney you suppose the viability is of having a 16 gladiator tournament, and afterwards hosting anotherfor those that were unable to participate in the first?

Another idea I had, if this gains popularity, I could hold one monthly or perhaps annually, and have a large qualifying round for the 16 spots. After 16 months the champions from each tourney could enter a gtand champion ship tournament.

[NAV]

I vote for 16. Late joiners can be in the next tournament.

[BigHatLogan]

16 is a good limit. I like the idea of this tournament so maybe a second one could be hosted at a later date.

[Unraveller]

There are two roads I'd like to go down.

The first, late joiners will be able to enter thr next tournament.

The second, and I prefer this one, everyone who has signed up until, say 24 hours after the post was made will be placed in a qualifying round. This can be changed, though I like the idea and I feel it is fair. Though criticism will be welcomed.

I feel the 16 gladiator tournaments seem more personal, more grudges, more interaction, more familiarity.

[nate.219]

I like the idea of a qualifying round but it might take a while. It would be pretty cool to have an all out war and only one survivor, however posting combat reports would be time consuming...

[Unraveller]

For the qualifiers I could pass through it with less descriptiveness, mostly allowing the gif and combat log speak for me.

[Tesseract]

The descriptiveness should be proportional to the importance of a fight. Just logs and gifs for qualifiers, small descriptions at first, and bigger description for the finals.

Depending on how much trouble it is to organize the tournament, monthly could be cool. Some months could have special conditions, like all fights on the bridge, or random weapons, team fights, etc.

By the way I don't follow sports a lot. How does qualifiers work usually ?

[DS]

Well, whatever you decide to do with gladiators 17-32, I'm throwing my hat in the ring. Presenting...
