adamant (adj.) Look up adamant at Dictionary.com
    1387, "hard, unbreakable," from earlier noun (O.E. ašamans) meaning "a very hard stone," from L. adamantem (nom. adamas), from Gk. adamas (gen. adamantos) "unbreakable," the name of a hypothetical hardest material, perhaps lit. "invincible," from a- "not" + daman "to conquer, to tame" (see tame), or else a word of foreign origin altered to conform to Gk. Applied in antiquity to white sapphire, magnet, steel, emery stone, and especially diamond (see diamond). Fig. sense of "unshakeable" first recorded 1677. Adamantine (adj.) first recorded 1382.

First result on google for "Adamant Etymology"

Meanwhile, dozens of citizens await the carnage that is SplatFest!

I know how the fight will end: the two will hit each other for a while, then both will cancel sparring to get a drink

No, I knew that. The important distinction being that the real word adamant isn't any specific material.

...As of the above post and this one as well, we are offically off topic.

Update, Cap'n?
My bad. >_>

But really, people seem to be having the HARDEST time connecting the dots.

Okay, so I've finally run some battles.  As Martin requested, I'm doing a few sets of fights wherein neither Ironblood nor Morul had any equipment, aside from their damaged clothes.  I should also mention that I'll be doing fights with weapons later on.

I tried to keep the conditions as balanced as possible:  Rounds follow with the fighters in the following DC conditions: Round 1 Morul as inv1, Round 2 Captain as inv1, Round 3 Morul as Inv2, Round 4 Captain as inv2, and repeating from there. 

The videos for the fights are posted here, though I did post the results of each round.

You know what I'd like to see?  Captain Ironblood vs. Boatmurdered.

Not the dwarves of Boatmurdered, but the fortress itself.

Not if they accidentally pull the wrong lever and the whole thing collapses in on itself.

Boatmurdered is pretty nasty as-is; I'm not sure what you have to do to it to make it have "lost".

Morul vs Ironblood, now with weapons!

Alright, so for this set of fights, I have given Morul an =Adamantine Mace= and The Captain a =<<-Steel Battle Axe->>=.  I figured since they're fighting each other in their clothes, the quality and material of the weapon really don't matter that much since these guys can kill each other in one punch.

I also noticed that the invaders tend to pause for a few seconds before fighting, so I placed the fighters farther apart.

Fighters will fight in the following conditions:  Odd Rounds Morul will be inv1, and Even rounds the Captain will be inv1.  Let the battle begin!

Rounds 1 - 10

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Okay, so the difference in equipment was apparently enough to count, since the captain only won if he wasn't hit.  I'm doing another ten rounds with The Captain having a *Adamantine Battle Axe*.  I'm not giving Morul a better weapon because at this point the difference in damage bonuses is 1000% (The captain) vs 900% (Morul) as opposed to the original 293% vs 900% bonus difference.

Rounds 11-20

Finally, I decided to give them both Low Grade Copper weapons and see what happens then.

Rounds 21-30

Round 17 should make up for Morul's other losses :P

I believe adamant is actually a jewel of some kind, just slightly less hard than diamond. Someone linked to it on this forum somewhere, a while back.

I thought it was supposed to be diamond in metal form.


Hmm...The Captain did very well when they used weapons.
You guys shouldn't be arguing over who is stronger, you should be arguing over how to combine the two; Captain Morul.
