Booking Fight A, against the White Flag, first.  I presume I'll choose how to spend any cheating tokens after the fight begins, not now.
Booking Fight C, against 2 Raptors, after the White Flag fight is won.  I understand that we might have to back out of this if the white flag fight goes poorly, losing Scintilla a favor token.

As for Gladiator names:
HP, Hops' gladiator, is being renamed to "The Grand Vizier of Horripilation, Nyarlathotep von Dracula".  Scintilla will insist that its title is VERY important, and will do her best to get it included in full, in every recording of the name.
KZ, King Zultan's gladiator, is being renamed to "The Peregrinate Pontiff, Poltroon Vastan".  Again, the title must be included in full.  This is IMPORTANT.
FF, Fluffe's gladiator, is being renamed to "Scrambles".

Technique

Why did the limbless gladiator surrender?
He was unarmed and defeated.

Hey just checking in. I think I need to take a formal break, I've got a few new games I need to shepherd closely and I think if I push forward with glads now, I might get burnout. The battle(s) will be back-to-back, with updates every 2 days probably going by the tutorial. Anyway it's been a week so I figured I'd check in.

I'll leave the thread open for discussion/roleplay.

Edit: What would you guys think about me making this PvP (crossforum vs other managers and their gladiators)?

Edit: Nevermind.

Seems like that would make it harder to run for you.

I was taking some time to assess what is important to me, and I realized one of those goals is to always have a crossforum game going, so if it wasn't glads it would be something else. I had thought it would be a comic game like PanicArena, but perhaps glads could be an ongoing crossforum game in the downtime. I'm not sure if making glads crossforum is infact what I want to do, I just feel like I am missing out on making any progress on my crossforum goal right now, and it was an idea to move in the right direction for me.

Gambler's Ally

*Knock-knock*
A slit slides open in a maroon magnusite door. After a pause, it closes.
*Knock!!-knock!!*
The slit slides open, a bulging eye examines the void, then looks down at Miss Scintilla.
"Excuse Me!"
"Who are you?"
"I'm the manager of Constantine Gladiators, I..." There is a thunderous laughter.
"..I have a fight booked against The White Flag. I didn't get a confirmation...but..."
"One moment...."
The slit slams shut.
...
...
... ... ...
*Knock!!-knock!!-knock!!*
The slit slides open. "huh? Oh you, The manager of The White Flag says you are a nobody, get lost."
*SLAM*
"Daddy was right, this place is a dump!"

Jungle Hunt

A mature female voice mutters something so only she will hear "...'The Grand Vizier of Horripilation, Nyarlathotep von Dracula'...title is VERY important...get it included in full, in every recording of the name...'The Peregrinate Pontiff, Poltroon Vastan'...Again, the title must be included in full. This is IMPORTANT..." The announcer looks through a list of demands from Scintilla in how to address each of her gladiators. The elf scans it with a monocle, then tosses the paper.

"Send in the meat."

The gladiators ascend through a platform in the ground. The guardrail sinks back down, leaving an old dwarf, a teenage human, a cueball giant, two elves and a potbelly gremlin under a sunny sky. The clearing is surrounded on all sides by jungle. The mesmerizing spell of singing cicadas is interrupted when an odd horn is blown.

Gladiator Manager, Welcome to the Show...


Manager Puppeteering
Spending Tokens is possible, however among these elven aristocrats you had better do so subtly, or be disqualified...or worse.

Manager Orders
You can bark commands for your gladiators, though they may have other ideas how to protect their life. Talking to your gladiators will make humanoids aware of your plans, and reveal their location to intelligent animals.

Gladiators, Welcome to the battlefield...


Formation
A formation is the way each team is arranged. It has two rows, front and back. You can change positions for free, doing so does not count as your action. If you are in the front row, your attacks get a +1 roll bonus when attacking anyone on the enemy's front row. If you are in the back row, enemies attacking you will get a -1 roll penalty, unless they are flanking. (flanking will be reviewed later)

Action
Try to attack or defend, you can use punches, kicks, or anything you could reasonably do. This is the fight of your life!

Jungle Hunt
You can travel to a new area for your action. Beware that animals may ambush you if you have both lower agility and are outnumbered. You cannot go from North Jungle to South Jungle, or West Jungle to East Jungle, directly. The Central Meadow is always visible.

You need to defeat 2 Raptors to win...


Begin the Hunt!

"Seems like we should stick together."
Don't get to far from the group and search for a branch that I can use as a weapon.

Join him.  If I can’t find a stick, I search for a big rock and some long, strong grasses or such that could make a good rope.

((Erm.  Weren't the glads supposed to be given wooden swords?  I understand that technically this is still the first fight, but I had planned to only do the raptors later, and I think my PM on the subject made it pretty clear I was intending them to bring in their swords.))

[RoseHeart]

((Eh...it could be lawyered you should.. a booking happening at a certain time being the best argument, which I might have done differently in hindsight.))

[Fluffe9911]

"FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD HEHE!"
Follow my destiny and run around willy nilly

[hops]

The Grand Vizier of Horripilation, Nyarlathotep von Dracula rolls their eyes when no one is looking as Scrambles rushes off into the wild, reluctantly following after them so that they don't get eaten and beckoning others to come too.

[syvarris]

((Eh...it could be lawyered you should.. a booking happening at a certain time being the best argument, which I might have done differently in hindsight.))

((I don't think I would have sent the glads in without weapons.  The swords being ready by fight #2 was very specifically what tipped me over into taking the gamble on the raptors, because otherwise it's too dangerous to be a good bet.))

((Sure.

But you also signed up for your first fight without the requirements. If you want, you can cancel the fight at any time, Manager.))
