Ah crap, I was gonna post about how I'm too busy and checks Bay12forum too infrequently to keep up, then I was too busy and checked Bay12forum too infrequently to post that. Anyways, please replace me.
The gremlin is at risk of bleeding out, so not a great place for a swap. I'll interpret "please replace me" as ask to be benched. If you comeback to B12 someday, check out this series, if I am still running it. Perhaps Drac will make it out, maybe not.

Edit: I'm only anticipating a few turns left, for this battle. In comparison the auction house was 6 turns, and this was 5. For chapter 2 I'll do open signups, but I'm not looking to do replacements for the end of this one.

Edit2: Thank you for telling me hops.

It's probably up to Fluffe and Meimie.

Meimie has contacted me, and is too busy for rpg forum games. So what does this mean?

Well seeing as 2 players let me know, it seems reasonable to take that as an action to leave the arena, meaning there is as many active gladiators as afk ones*. That isn't great, and if that were all I'm not sure it would be right to continue. However, the presence of the manager does tip the scales a bit, perhaps enough. I'm going to dare to assume you will try, and lock-in actions. This match has surely gone on long enough to avoid any penalties for ending the fight now, so if that's what the GM wants to do (next turn) let me know.

*Edit: Actually 3:2, better

Fun bit of trivia...

Ok so I tracked down MURELIOUS (listed as the creator of the old StarCraft map that inspired this rp campaign) here was a summary of our interview:

Quote from: R
Is this the StarCraft gladiator map guy? If so nice! I am curious what year exactly you published the first version.

Made By Babas 40 thievz (A.K.A. Murelious)

Quote from: M
Oh man... Well, that's 100% me, and I totally forgot about this.

That said I can't really take credit for this. I think I took someone else's map and started modifying.

It's been a loooong time so I don't remember the details

Quote from: R
Oh man! What a legend. I'm hosting a roleplaying session based on it right now.

How much exactly was there before you started? Anything even slightly recognizable has always had your name attached. Did you come up with punching bags, prostitutes, gladiator manager exploration? Closest thing at the time was a Pokemon RPG...
Note: Prostitutes were the game's version of guards.

Quote from: M
That's weird. I honestly don't remember creating all of that. I'm pretty sure most of that was taken from someone else. I remember really liking it and wanting to add my own spin / some balance things. Definitely not the original creator though. I wish I could take more credit.

Quote from: R
Oh man! That's wild, what a rabbit hole. If you ever remember anything, any leads  so I could find the original version/creator lmk. thanks for making it popular/fixing it up  definitely a substantial improvement between each of you major versions, particularly 4 , 5, and 6

The Old Dragon? I found a crashed cruiser with that name, same folder as your 'created by babaz40thieves' radio station building. I'll use that handle as a placeholder  Thanks for setting the record straight.
Note: A common SC map making practice was to 'sign' it by renaming a building or unit and placing it somewhere on the map, basically an Easter egg.

(if you can't tell, which you probably can, I was totally geeking out)

Anyway, that's all for now. Next post from me will be a game update.♥

(Updated:)

Quote from: M
Yea I just asked my buddy about it. He's as confused as I am about me getting credit for it all. I should only have credit for one of those, and not even an impressive update either.

Regardless, best of luck on finding the right credits. I admire your perseverance in this pursuit. Wish I were your guy haha.

Quote from: R
Thank you!

Huh, it seems like 'Babas 40 thievz' really was a 'thief', I guess you really can read a book by its cover.

Re: Gladiator Manager: Chapter 1: Battle - Jungle Hunt
« Reply #216 on: October 04, 2022, 05:48:01 am »


▼▼▼▼▼


Scintilla nudges a random seated observer, and whispers in their ear. The aristocrat turns with an incredulous look, "My dear, do you think I'd carry something so trite on my person?" The announcer glances back to shoot a look of suspicion at the small lanista. Then, a distraction. Two weary gladiators leave the jungle to join one that never made it inside.

Ohwell is escorting a wounded companion, how nice!

Coming out of the wild growth at a cautious pace The Grand Vizier of Horripilation Nyarlathotep von Dracula, and Ohwell, step through the meadow and approach from below. Stepping to either side of Bulk Muscles, they stop beside the sleeping giant. The teenager raises his middle and index fingers together, a gesture for submission he learned back at the training school. Meanwhile the deranged eyes of the potbellied gremlin are cast down, as the immortal holds blooded arms crossed in front. The announcer is saying something...and those below hear her list off their names. Then the gladiators descend through the platform in the ground. But just before the exodus of gladiators are closed off completely, a deep voice manages to echo, one last time. "Thank you for letting Bulk stay Bulk."

Given Dracula's injuries, it seemed that the peaceful meadow was a naive facade for the action that had been unfolding just beyond.

...A short while before.

The normally silent Grindak let's loose a deep grunt as he leaps to the right, while the wide-eyed Vastan takes a direct tail slap from the female raptor. "Hehe! Hoho! I dont even know where I am! Hahah!" Scrambles is weaving through the calamity. Ohwell finds the wooden shiv he lost. Dracula is looking dizzy. "Ah crap..." Ohwell stands close and the old gremlin leans on the young human. If he didn't help it to the doctor himself, it might not make it. "Unfortunately I won't have time for this at the moment, sorry!" he exclaims. "Good Luck—" he added, before tossing the shiv up in the air, allowing the quick-footed Scrambles to catch it on reflex, "—Have Fun though!"

Just after they disappear, Scrambles uses the primitive stabbing weapon to attack the fallen raptor, scoring a light stab on the flailing creature's right leg while avoiding its' claws. The Peregrinate Pontiff rolls up onto his feet, and get to other side of it, nicking its' left arm.

The alpha raptor, claws wide like a net, makes a screaming dash for Scrambles!

Right.
