Well, my past luck with this sort of thing has been disastrous. But hopefully this time I will be more successful.


So, DF2010 has an arena mode. And we need to do the dwarfy thing and put it to the test.

The whole point of this thread is to use arena mode to throw fights. Hopefully some forumites will create characters and I will pit them against each other in a fight to the death. The main point is to have fun, and I will be recording the fights and posting them on the DFMA (Link).

Rules

1. You can choose to have one fighter. This fighter can be chosen from any of the choices available in the Object Testing Arena of DF2010 (EXCEPT Megabeasts). Please use this form to request a fighter:

Species: (Dwarf, Human, Antman, etc. Remember, NO Megabeasts. Also, due to an apparent bug in the Arena, grimelings are also not allowed. And from the next tournament onwards, any beasties that are confirmed 'immortal' e.g. blizzardmen are disallowed)
Gender: Male/Female
Weapon: (Iron short sword, rose gold warhammer, etc.)
Ammo: (If necessary: Iron/Gold/etc. Bolts/Arrows/Blowdarts)
Head Armour: (Iron/Gold/Silk/Wood/etc. Mask/Helm/Cap/None)
Hand Armour: (Iron/Gold/Silk/Wood/etc. Gauntlets/Gloves/Mittens/None)
Body Armour: (Iron/Gold/Silk/Wood/etc. Breastplate/Mail Shirt/None)
Foot Armour: (Iron/Gold/Silk/Wood/etc. High Boot/Low boot/None)
Leg Armour: (Iron/Gold/Silk/Wood/etc. Leggings/Greaves/None)
Shields: (Iron/Gold/Silk/Wood/etc. Shield/Buckler/None)
Skills: (See below for full list of skills)

To create your fighter, a points system will be used. It'll be very similar to the one used in Adventurer Mode. Everyone starts with 100 points and it can be allocated to any of these:

Weapon: All weapon types are free. (Short sword, warhammer, etc.) But only the first weapon is free. If you want to dual-wield, it is a 6 point cost.

Ammo: If ammo is needed for a weapon, then 20 wooden bolts/darts/arrows will be given for free at the start of every round. If you want higher quality ammunition, then it will cost.

Head Armour: Having no head armour is free.
Masks/Veils/Turbans/Headscarves are 5 points

2. The rounds begin as soon as 16 competitors have signed up.

3. Each round consists of fights with certain rules. It may be one-on-one duels, two-on-two team fights, etc.

4. The winners of each round receive an extra 10 points that they may spend on upgrading equipment or skills.

5. There is no penalty for losing. This is just a bit of fun.

6. There may be a tournament-style competition held soon, however it largely depends on how much interest is generated. If there's enough for a good tournament, then I'll hold one.

7. Fights will be recorded on DF and posted on the DFMA.

8. If you have any suggestions on how this idea could be improved upon (Suggestions especially needed for the points system), please PM me.

[Ringmaster]

Okay, I need sleep now (4am where I am). I'll get to performing a test fight when I wake up.

[nichaey]

If the crossbow part dosen't work, feel free to change the crossbow into a longbow and the bolts into arrows.

Species: Dwarf
Gender: Male
Weapon: Adamantium Short Sword
Armor: Steel Shield, Steel Breastplate
Skills: Expert Swordsman

I'm afraid that's over the point limit (The first weapon choice is free, the material is not. The reason I phrased it like that in the rules is because previous 'arena games' did have costs for weapon types. If you think that's a bit unfair, then PM me). The total is 122 (25 for the sword, plus 49 for the Expert, + 24 for the steel shield and 24 for the breastplate). I'm afraid the same applies to nichaey.

[Doomshifter]

DOOMSHIFTER ENTERS THE FRAY

Species: Iron Man
Gender: None
Weapon: Lead Warhammer Maul
Armour: Steel Breastplate
Shields: Steel Shield
Skills: (IIRC, Iron men can't learn. Thus, no skills.) Professional Hammerconstruct.

NOTHING WILL STOP MY IRON MAN. DAAA NAAA NANANAAA NANANANA NA NA NAAA
Has he lost he lost his mind,
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
why should we even care?

( EDIT: For all those people who keep saying that sparks fly off when they hit an iron man, they are entirely wrong. That's the Iron Man Gas, a gas that is inside them. It actually makes you sick if you inhale it! )

[Ringmaster]

You can still have skills (Arena mode allows you to add skills to anything, whether it can learn or not)
