The last one is a great idea indeed. I would also suggest large team-battle tourneys that took place on the walkways surrounded by water/lava/vertical drops. To prevent fighters from fleeing, you could cover both ends of the walkways in lava.

Yes, for the last one waves of zombies are almost a must.

Survivor tourny must happen.

I'll up Spruce's dodge again (20) and then get bulldozed by a gorilla.

Teams of 4. One girl, 3 guys. With shotguns.
Oh wait, wrong game. :P

Sounds epic. Big stories could come from that =v

How's about this for a future one, then:

>All entrants are placed on the same team
>Wave after wave of zombies are spawned on a different team to the entrants
>On wave n, n zombies are spawned
>If any of the entrants or pets dies, a zombified version of them spawns next round
>You get money for each wave your survive
>You get a small amount of money for each zombie you personally finish off
>You get a large amount of money if your zombified self finishes off anyone

If it isn't too much trouble for you t keep track of all that, all of it except the last part sounds good to me. I'm not a big fan of the idea of getting winnings for losing. I can go with it, of course.

Seconded. Loss is loss is loss and it really shouldn't be rewarded. That aside this looks ridiculously awesome.

Yep, agreeing with them.

btw, I tested this with all the current gladiators versus 42 wolves. Not a single Gladiator or Pet died. Now, I know zombies are tougher, be prepared to wait a while for something interesting to happen :)

If I were to do this, then I would have to decide the prizes for each feat afterwards, to prevent massive prizes from being given out.

I can see all the titles coming from this type of tourney "Urist Slayer of the zombified dragon"* or "Urist The fastest runner"

I don't see why Flint would be opposed to it... as long as it doesn't count toward our daily fights.

Sodel will take a suit of Elephant leather armor. I can't find the long sword cost. I'm debating picking one up, so can anyone enlighten me?
