@Azhf, you're doing just fine buddy. There is most certainly room, I'll keep applications open until they start to trickle through. Thanks for joining, nice name by the way!

Hehe, just came up with the name on a whim because I'm bad at coming up with traditional fantasy names or just names in general. Armok forbid I ever have children...

EDIT: Idea: What if you could spend leftover points to bet on matches? I don't know if it's a good idea or not, but it's an idea anyways.

It is an idea, and could be a good one. However its implementation could be wonky and add unnecessary baggage to an otherwise simple game. Love to hear how anyone thinks it could be worked in though, as well as any other ideas of course.

As a big dumb happyhammer wielding oaf, my points are precious, betting them so I can watch someone trip into magma doesn't seem like the best use I could make of them.

Hope it's not a big deal but I decided to give Lucan stone a title. Already changed the entry but he is now Lucan Stone the unbreakable

Ehh, I think it would be a bit overkill. If you want something like betting, why not have the winner of each match take the loser's excess points after the match?

I mean it's not really betting but it would net 'extra' points, especially if someone is being conservative in an effort to get a big payoff.

Honestly, after looking at how the humans fared in the last tournament, I don't really expect mine to make it past the qualifiers! Which is why he has no left over points for bonus.

I finished making my character, but I noticed people after me made the list and I have yet to join them. Don't leave me behind, Unraveller D:

How will I get to drive on the streets of Valhalla all shiny and chrome?

Nothing wrong there, titles are lovely, unless they are not.

I dunno buddy, there are a whole heck of a lot more generic humans and elves than last time. We may see one of them as champ.

Don't worry, I am an Elephant, I never forget, except for the times when I do.

-Varano the Noble-

There is always an opening, welcome generic she-elf. Step over there with the other lame humanoids.

Shotgun Gai's gonna try again, hopefully he won't get rekt again xD

-Shotgun Gai-

Welcome on back Gai, who was it that obliterated you last time? Pisskin maybe?

And hey, we are at a total of twenty-two gladiators same as the first tourney, shall I wait for more?

I think waiting for 32 is best, perhaps make a reddit update saying there are 10 more openings, first come (ie. posting a legal competitor) first served?

Thirty two sounds like a ton, but actually it would have less matches than if we were to have a qualifying round with twenty-two gladiators. I'll do just that Italics.

Uric of Nokzomungsg (Battlefailed)  - manager - the Lupanian
Dwarf - 240 points
Silver War-hammer -78
Bronze Helm -24
Bronze Breastplate -40
Bronze Leggings -28
Copper Gauntlets -10
Copper High boots -12
Adequate Hammerer -18
Competent Dodger -30

Total 240

Points Remaining 0

Ok so technically the grand total should be 240.5 but I would have had to do a bit of juggling make up for 0.5 points so could we just let it slide please?

I only ate a few vampire hearts. Like, three tops. I'm sure it'll be fine.

I'll make an exception just for you and no one else ever, because I am an authoritative ruler with total power! Though, I should warn you, that I don't think silver is a very good insulator.
