Actually, I'm down to one goal too.  Oh well.

1 on the Hell Knight then.

I was testing how badly I could make someone lose. And it does seem whoever I bet on gets a major shafting.

Gold on the hell knioght, unless it's a weapon of holy wrath or distortion.

THis one is more tricky....it all depends on what happens....

My bets are on the following:

20 on the Hell Knight

50 on Asmodeus

50 on the Troll
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Otaku Kind.

53 on Hell Knight. How can a weapon defeat a weapon and a man?

53 on Royal Jelly. If it beat Tiamat I don't see what chance this bozo has.

53 on the newts! Even small enemies become surprisingly lethal when they have full containment.

Round 19:  Winner is the Hell Knight.  The weapon was a glaive which did take off a good chunk of the knight's HP, but as said before, if you're a sword, you don't have much defensive power.

Round 20:  Winner is yet again, The Royal Jelly.  Apparently jelly takes fire quite well.  In other news, if you have the powers of hell and fire at your command, don't bonk the monster with your staff.  That is all.

Round 21:  Winner is the troll, if only by barely.  The newts widdled him down to nearly dead status, however, that's also when there were only seven newts left, just enough for the troll's regenerative abilities to surpass the amount of damage being done.  If only there were one or two more newts, the victory would belong to the newts.

Round 22:
Vampire VS Even Bigger Newt Army (136)
Notes:  Yeah, you get the idea, you've seen both sides at work before.

Round 23:
Edmund VS Blork the Orc
Notes:  Two early uniques, Edmund is just a fighter usually in either ring mail or leather armor and can be generated bare handed, with an axe, or most likely, a spear, he also wears high heels.  Blork can use spells and is usually generated with a much crappier weapon, namely a club.  He's also fat and often generated with food in hit general vicinity.

Round 24:
Antaeus VS The Royal Jelly
Notes:  Come on, The Royal Jelly has to meet its match somewhere.  Regardless, Antaeus is the lord of the cold branch of hell.  Unlike the previous guy, he only moderately uses the powers of hell and magic.  He instead has two arms, each of which is far larger than you that he puts to good use, usually knocking off half the HP of the poor foolish fighter who only came with 50 AC to the battle.


Money to be collected in 24 hours.

71 on Vampire. Spammals deny containment to the newt army, which is the key to their victory.

71 on Blork, I'm pretty sure he could knock Edmund's ass into next week, but this one is kind of up in the air depending on if one of them spawns with a wand or something since they're both relatively fragile.

71 on the Jelly, at this point I don't see why anyone would bet against it.

20 on the Vampire. Spammals even the odds significantly.
There are people in this world who enjoy being alone. But there isn't a single person who can bear solitude.

2 on Blork.  I don't remember ever having problems with Edmund, but Blork isn't to be messed with in my opinion.

This is pretty fun to read even though I don't know the monster attributes.

I give 33 gold to Pesco.
I give 33 gold to Edible.
I give 33 gold to Affinity.

I bet 1 gold on Royal Jelly (yay for RO reference). I'm going to rise to the top with just 1 gold and blind luck!

Hmm, haven't played Crawl?  There's a new version out, so I recommend downloading it and giving it a try.  It's recommended that you play as a Mountain Dwarf Fighter before anything else.  After a few goes, feel free to try the magical classes or even the new artificer class.

Regardless, link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/crawl-ref/files/

If you're windows, you'll want tiles-win32 version.  Don't be discouraged by the amount of game overs you get, the game is meant to be hard.  And hit the "?" during gameplay if you need instructions or help.

Meantime, about ~4 to 4.5 hours remaining.

Round 22:  Winner is the vampire.  Four words, Spammals and Dodge Tank.
Round 23:  Winner is Edmund, who got generated with a spear compared to Blork who had an (inaccurate) club and couldn't shoot with his spells.
Round 24:  Winner is, no, not the Royal Jelly but our NEW CHAMPION Antaeus.  He just simplified it down to run up and punch out the Royal Jelly and ignore the offspring.  After killing the Royal Jelly, THEN he stepped on the offspring.

This is also where I put the topic on hiatus for a while.  Now depending, this may last from 48 hours to four weeks, all depending on whether or not I get computers where I'm going and whether or not I have time to do this.  Regardless, if I don't show up in four days, someone can feel free to take over the topic in my absence.  Pancake knows how to use the arena, so ask him.

Good luck.

I've figured out how the system works. I'll be home in 3 hours time to run the arena. In the meantime, you can all request some matchups. Keep it reasonable.

I've also noticed that mob vs solo matches aren't that good since only 8 of the mob can swarm and attack the solo in melee at any given time. The extra units do nothing useful unless they can smite or airstrike, friendly fire is real. I'll accept team battles for the arena too.

Didn't get any suggestions for matches.

Round 25: Margery vs Tentacled monstrosity - Could be tentacle rape or crispy calamari. Margery has some light fighter gear and a few fire spells.
Round 26: Green draconian vs purple mottled draconian - poison vs sticky flame. Fixed a typo, purples spit mystic bolts.
Round 27 - Green death vs 50 rats - Green death is a mid level demon that specialises in posion magic, can blink and summon minor demons. Bet on how many turns it will take to kill all the rats, there is also the small chance that the rats could kill the demon. Turn bets must be in a range of 4 turns (e.g. turn 2-5)

results in many more hours.

60 on Margery. This is a western game so I doubt the tentacle monster would prevail.

60 on Green Draconian, simply because poison stacks and I'm pretty sure flame doesn't.

22 on Green Death taking uh...16-20 turns.
