Calaleus (Corax, 0-0) vs. Myrdrimor (Four Fingers, 0-0)
Rope, Chains, Axe, Chainsaw Calaleus makes a mad dash for the axe and Myrdrimor heads straight for the chains. Myrdrimor gets picks the chains up in a flurry and begins swinging them about. He aims low but then swivels to change the line towards Calaleus' head! Calaleus attempts to block, but the chains whip around the shaft of the axe catching him full in the face. Blood flies from his face as a cut opens across Calaleus' nose and mouth. Calaleus stumbles slightly, but he regains his composure. With the chains wrapped around his axe shaft, he pulls at them in an attempt to disarm Myrdrimor. The chains fly across the dome rendering Myrdrimor weaponless. Myrdrimor heads toward the chainsaw as Calaleus swings the heavy axe. Myrdrimor barely escapes the axehead and makes his way to the chainsaw. He gives the starter a tug . . . nothing! Mydrimor is still able to get the chainsaw up to block another heavy swing of the axe. Myrdrimor gives the starter another tug. The chainsaw, still won't start! Calaleus, still bleeding heavy from the face, swings upward towards, Myrdrimor's midsection . . . and connects! Mydrimor jumps backwards with the blow, but to no avail. A large gash is opened in Myrdrimor's abdomen. Mydrimor, still backpedaling, gives the chainsaw another tug. It starts! Cheers come flying in from the crowd as the he revs up the engine. Still hurting from his stomach wound, he backs off and assumes a defensive posture. Both men stare each other down and swing at the same time! Calaleus comes with a mean overhead blow. It lands hard! On the chainsaw! Miraculously, Myrdrimor hangs on! If that blow had landed, it would have been the end of the fight! Astounded for a moment that his blow was blocked, Calaleus backs off a little. Now Myrdrimor is the aggressor again. Calaleus, waits patiently tries to get a shot in before the chainsaw comes in from his right. A short poke, is good enough to land in the ribs of Mydrimor and stops his aggressive charge in its tracks. Mydrimor, crumples to his knees and grabs at the gaping chest wound that punctured his ribs. {chanting} TWO MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES! TWO MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES!{/chanting} The crowd can smell the end. With a cocky walk, Calaleus eggs on the crowd, raising his hands in the air and joining the chant. Myrdrimor can do nothing but gasp for breath. The chainsaw has died beside him. All that is left to do is make peace with his god. Standing over Myrdrimor, Calaleus makes the execution short and to the point. Myrdrimor's head falls to the dirt. Calaleus has survived his first match and is 1/10th of his way to his freedom. |

Now a little about this game. This is a simple little game that I've come up with that might be fun. The general rules are as follows:
1. Sign up as many times as you'd like. Only catch is that you can only have one character at a time. 2. This is a simple game based off of probability. Different things affect the probabilities, like weapon specialties, armor, technique training and defending. 3. The goal is to win your freedom. To win your freedom, you need to win 10 matches. Once you win your freedom, you can open your own stable. I haven't decided how I'm going to do that yet, but we'll find out if anybody ever gets there. 4. You can make your own challenges to other slaves, but they will be approved by your slave masters. If you don't make any challenges, your slave master will do that for you. You can only challenge somebody from a different stable. You can only have one challenge outstanding at a time. 5. I will try to run Thunderdome on a regular basis. Currently, I'm looking at Tuesday and Thursday around noon central time. I may not get to all challenges, but I'll keep the order posted in this thread so you know approximately when your match is coming up. 6. In the game, the challenger will always be considered the person with the worse record. If records are even, the person who submitted the challenge will be the challenger. 7. All slaves start out at rank 1. Each victory that they attain, they will gain another rank. Slaves may be sold between owners. The value for which they are sold depends on their rank. (This will become more important if you win your freedom and open your own stable, in which case, you may want to buy or sell fighters). 8. Each fighter will win prestige points based on each fight. You win 1 prestige point for each rank that you defeat. An owner may decline a challenge, but will lose prestige points equal to the number of ranks the challenger is below them. Example: John (Rank 3) challenges Fred (Rank 5). Fred doesn't like his chances against John, so he declines the challenge. In so doing, he loses 2 (5-3) prestige points. No prestige points are lost in declining a challenge from a higher ranked opponent. Declining a challenge of an equal ranked opponent carries a 2 prestige point penalty as crowds feel that it would be a fair fight. If you do not have any prestige points, you cannot decline the challenge and your House will accept the challenge for you. All fighters start out with 0 prestige points. Prestige points also determine how much of a "Freedom Bonus" you will receive if you win your freedom. The more prestige you have, the more money you will receive to start your own stable. Therefore a slave who wins 10 matches against rank 1 opponents, without declining any other challenges would have just enough $ to buy a 1 rank 1 fighter to start their stable. If you have less than 10 prestige points, you may need to start gambling some of your winnings, or fight "out of house" for money to purchase more fighters. 9. Players will no longer get to select their stables when they enter. Instead, they join the 'slave pool'. Every Friday an auction will be held and slaves will be purchased at that point by the houses that have enough money to buy them. Players can state a preference to their stable. However, that preference may not always be met depending on which houses have the money. After a slave is purchased by a house on Friday, they will be able to challenge a slave from another house for the following week's matches. I hope that everybody enjoys! 10. Each season will be 10 (5 weeks real time) weeks long, followed by an offseason where you will get to train. I haven't fully decided on how the training will work yet, but suffice to say, you can't train unless you've fought at some point during the season. Obviously if you're still alive, it means you've won at least one fight and you will get to train. You're training will not be limited to you're houses' specialty for this period. Current areas of training will include Strength (More Damage), Speed (Harder to Get Hit), Weapons (More effective at hitting, defending and hurting with said weapon), and Styles (Specialize and become more effective with a particular fighting style). I'm toying with a couple more ideas, but this is it for now. |

Just as a quick note. I have decided to change up the benefits of Pain Unlimited. The effect will still be the same, however, I'll be cutting the bonus in half and slaves will be learning it at twice the rate.

Godzillius Blitz (Rank 1, Bloodhaus) vs. Ajtuck (Rank 1, House Corax)
Purse: $8000 Weapons: Claymore, Machete, Chains, Axe The fight looks as though it will start on even footing as neither of the fighters are familiar with the use of the weapons placed in the ring. Both men head straight for the axe, but it is Ajtuck who gets there first. Ajtuck grabs, pivots and swings. He gets off a good attack, but the wary Godzillius is able draw Ajtuck make an ill advised attack. Godzillius evades! Godzillius heads straight for the chains. Ajtuck is right on his tail and swings wildly as Godzillius picks up the chains. Once again, Godzillius is the smarter fighter and evades the clumsy swing. This time Godzillius retaliates with swing fot the chains. He connects! That probably broke a few ribs on Ajtuck. This seams to piss of Ajtuck even more and Ajtuck swings the heavy axe with fervor. Godzillius once again out-manuevers the blade as it passes only inches from his neck. The movement of his evasion has put Godzillius out of position and he can't retaliate. The two men square off in the center of the arena and stare each other down. Ajtuck winces a little from his broken rib. Ajtuck, charges Godzillius again and both of them get off swings as they come into range. Ajtucks axe slices across Godzillius' arm for a superficial wound. The cut stops Godzillius arm and he can't connect with his chains. Godzillius remembers a little bit of his training and comes back with quick attack. He scores a hit to Ajtuck's leg. It was a decent blow, but it didn't succeed in getting Ajtuck to hold his attack. Regardless, though Ajtuck's axe swing flies harmlessly over Godzillius' head. Godzillius is in excellent position now. He taunts Ajtuck into throwing a chop from the right, evades and steps behind Ajtuck with the chains. Grabbing both ends of the chains he wraps them around Ajtuck's tightens them and drags Ajtuck to the ground! TWO MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES! TWO MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES! Godzillius gives the chains a final tug and Ajtuck exhales his final breath. Godzillius has reached Rank 2 and earned 1 prestige point. In addition, Demetrius Cavish has presented his winning fighter with shoulder armor. Bloodhaus receives the $8000 purse. |

Godzillius bends over and pries open the mouth of the fallen Atjuck as the crowd roars. With blood dripping off his fingers from the wound on his forearm, he reaches in past the teeth, grabs hold of the tongue, and rips it out in a splash of red.
Time to start my Freedom Necklace, he thinks, as he turns and walks briskly for the Thunderdome exit. Nine more to go. |

Important Note:
The House of Four Fingers is no longer buying slaves. They need to have enough money for entry fees so that their current slaves can fight. This has been updated in the House Notes. |
Another Note:
Purses for fights have been modified so that Houses can actually profit from wins. :) |
back to the salt mines for lytic
