Double dola-

Fattoe, do you wish to die?

I see. You challenge Fattoe and I, both whom are checked into Torbjorg's personal hospital wing because the walking wounded are the only ones you can defeat? Surely you know there can be no honor in such a victory, much as there was little honor in defeating a rank 2 fighter like Mr. T was.

In the meanwhile, you can prepare for week 1 next season by making out your will.

Christ, I really need to learn to read better. Didn't realize that Fattoe is out too... :mad:

Dola-

You're just upset that I took Mr T out before you had a shot at him... :p

Nooooo! Not Erik!

Very well. I bring to you the first woman gladiator of thunderdome!

Erin Flamebeard has come to avenge his husband! Her deadly Spiked Club and Boobs of Doom shall SMASH!

I didn't expect that last fight between Erik and Fattoe to go so quickly...a bit of a letdown really...

hmm, Boobs of Doom...

It looks like House Corax will need to take a loan out to send Louis LeBeau back into battle with.

I agree. I thought that it would have been a better fight. But I've found that the fights between middle rank opponents tend to go the quickest. They're just good enough to take advantage of their opponents mistakes, and just bad enough to make those mistakes.

In addition, matches will last longer when you have opponents who wear armor, or are versed in basic defense (4 fingers type, not the fighting style). What you had in this match was two different types of exploit skills going against each other. These exploit skills tend to happen less frequently, but cause more damage. When you have two fighters using these types of skills it makes for a short, yet good fight.

Currently three houses use exploit skills (Corax, Pain, Malice) and two use defensive skills (4 Fingers, Bloodhaus). In the offseason, the houses will choose a different type of training to fund for the new season, so the fighters will start to get complimentary skills.

Page 1 updated. I'm actually going to wait until Wednesday to do the next auction. Nobody is scheduled for week 10 yet, unless I'm blind and missed some posts. Please make some challenges, or your owners will do it for you. ;)

Also be on the look out for a Thunderdome Poll. I'm weighing some new ideas for Season 2 and will be looking for some feedback.

Parvus Caesar challenges Mucius "The Lefty" Scaevola to combat!

SI

WHO WANTS A PIECE OF LITTLE JEEBIE DEE!!!!!!

Willie: [threatens children] You want to pick on immigrants? Then pick on Willie!
Skinner: Willie, please. The students want to pick on someone their own size.

SI

I challenge The Chief to a battle to the death since he's the only decent fighter out there that isn't already injured.

Pansies...

Since there is no auction, I have too wait til week 1 to take out Pilot the Wretched. :mad:

Auction will be tomorrow, so you have the option of challenging one of the people on the auction block. Or, it seems that Daddy Longstroke, Hakim Warrick, and Tony Harding are Rank 1 fighters who don't have a dance partner. :D

Nah, week 10 deserves a battle between the 2 bloodlines with the worst records.

Well, Louis LeBeau would love to fight, but ze pretty nurse will not let him get out of ze hospital bed...

Mucius would gladly wipe the walls of the Colliseum with Parvus Caesar's blood, except...

Whoops, I missed that one when I updated page 1. :(

If The Chief doesn't answer my challenge I'll be more than happy to take Mucius' spot, Parvus Caesar...

Sign up Deanus Houstonus. Favorite weapon, Spiked Club

I must decline until I can get one more fight under my belt. Little Jeebie Dee would crush me. I will fight you when I am within 1 rank of you.

Thus, I will challenge the only non-injured player within one rank of me: Raven "The Imposter" Hawk.

SI

Sigh... :(

Will NO ONE fight Little Jeebie Dee?!?!?

Maybe Raven Hawk can roll up a bot for you.

Bots schmots! I'll just make one of the healthy fighters who isn't as good fight him. :) So anybody who doesn't want to be Jeeber fodder (and isn't injured) might want to schedule a fight this week. :)

The Black Stallion tripped getting out of bed this morning and will be unable to be Jeeber fodder, thanks.

Excellent, thanks RH! :)

I keep challenging injured people. I'll make one last ditch challenge to Schizophrenic because he's the only non-rank 1 left. If not, I guess I'll be stuck facing Jeebs.

SI

If you make a challenge to somebody who doesn't accept, their owner will accept for them tomorrow afternoon when I create the matches.

Looks like Jeebs will be facing The Chief . . . :)

Tony Harding. I'm calling you out. Face the wrath of the BOOBS OF DOOM.

And so the HOFF spends over half of its dwindling cash reserves on a woman...excellent.

If anyone would like to get stomped by The Black Stallion, please step forward.

Erin Flamebeard = dead

Book Pilot v. king

One of us will win eventually.

This may be the Match of the Day. :)

The matches have been set for Week 10!

Incidentally Fattoe has reached a prestige rating of 5, which means that he can gain additional training in one of the following areas:

Strength (Damage)
Speed (Defense)
Wits (Initiative)
Weapon Profieciency
Style Proficiency (Normal, Defensive, Aggressive, Misdirection)

The offseason is after this week, right?

SI

That is correct. I'm still defining all the things that can be done in the offseason, I'll let you all know when I figure it out.

Please take some time to recommend some Thunderdome improvements for Season 2. Here is the poll:

http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/for...619#post715619

Prepare to meet your maker,

AGAIN!!!

FOR WHO?

RH: Did I post too late to get deanus Houstonus on the block?

Fattoe want to train on a new weapon. Fattoe like Longsword.

Fattoe challenge Jeebie D to first fight of next season. If Jeebie survive. :)

Jeebie's gotta kill JAGus first, Fattoe. After I take care of him I will be happy to destroy you...

Season two?

Just wanted to let everyone know that JAGus is not a good patient in the hospital. Occasionally shouts "MUST KILL SOMEONE" and seems to make the nurses nervous for some reason.

Sorry about the wait everybody, I'm trying to buy a house and sell a house so things are a little crazy for me right now. Anywho . . .

HERE IS THE WEAPONS DRAW FOR WEEK 10!

Tony Harding (Rank 1, Bloodhaus) vs. Erin Flamebeard (Rank 1, The House of Four Fingers)
Weapons: Spiked Club, Knife, Machete, Knife
Analysis - The oddsmakers like to think that Erin Flamebeard will use her Boobs of Doom to distract Tony Harding long enough to get to the Spiked Club, which is her weapon of choice. If Erin can reach the Spiked Club first, the match is all but over. However, Tony Harding won't give it up easily. The crowd loves fights that turn out to be a sprint towards one weapon. This one shouldn't disappoint. The morning line - 4:3 in favor of Erin Flamebeard and her Boobs of Doom.

Pilot the Wretched (Rank 1, Bloodhaus) vs. King IV (Rank 1, House Corax)
Weapons: Rapier, Spiked Club, Crowbar, Lead Pipe
Analysis - This could be the match of the day. The two fighters have cursed families. This is the first time the two families have met in Thunderdome. One SHOULD survive this match to make it to the ever elusive rank 2. It will be a fair fight, however, as neither King IV nor Pilot the Wretched pulled their weapons of choice. The morning line - 1:1.

Hakim Warrick (Rank 1, Bloodhaus) vs. The Black Stallion (Rank 2, Pain Unlimited)
Weapons: Crowbar, Axe, Lead Pipe, Claymore
Analysis - The oddsmakers think this one will be a beat fest with The Black Stallion coming out on top. Hakim Warrick is an untested pup who favors the chains, which did not show up in the weapons draw. However, The Black Stallion can't find his chainsaw in the draw either. Both men are slender and The Black Stallion will be relying on his newly learned fighting style. If The Black Stallion was paying attention to his trainer, he could open up the proverbial Can 'o Whoopass on Hakim. The morning line - 5:2 in favor of The Black Stallion.

Schizophrenic (Rank 2, House Corax) vs. Parvus Caesar (Rank 3, Pain Unlimited)
Weapons: Crowbar, Lead Pipe, Knife, Spear
Analysis - In a strange twist of fate, the fighter from House Corax has not taken up his master's offer of training. He will suffer from this mistake as his only weapon, the spiked club, is nowhere to be seen. Parvus Caesar, however, should be grinning broadly as his knife came up on the draw. Both men will be fighting to get control of the knife. Look for Parvus to do a little House Corax cleaning in this match. The morning line - 2:1 in favor of Parvus.

The Chief (Rank 3, Pain Unlimited) vs. Little Jeebie Dee (Rank 5, Malice Unchained)
Weapons: Claymore, Spiked Club, Chains, Warhammer
Analysis - The main event will pit the fighting stylings of Pain Unlimited against the wits of Malice Unchained. This is a fitting conclusion to the season as the two houses have been slugging it out all season. More often Pain Unlimited's fighters came out the victors, however, Little Jeebie Dee has been hellfire in the ring and looks to gain a fifth straight win. Neither of the opponents benefit from their weapons being in the ring, but at this level, its not really about the weapons. The big question will be whether or not Little Jeebie Dee can intercept any of the lethal stylized strikes that The Chief will be sure to throw at him. The oddsmakers say that he will. The morning line - 2:1 in favor of Little Jeebie Dee.

I'll do my best to run these fights this weekend. I'd like to get Season 2 started soon. There are a lot of good ideas in the poll thread.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I mean- good to be back :)

SI

I'm ready to bring pain and anguish to the Pilot family.

We're working on buying our first home, so I can't imagine trying to sell one at the same time. Good luck to you.

Excellent!

Dude, your family couldn't bring pain and anguish on an anthill. If you think that destroying this Pilot is painful wait until Pilot #23 takes you down. You won't know what hit you. In fact, your family is so ready to die that I heard your owner dug your grave and the graves of your children and grandchildren, because if you lose there is no point in keeping your line of losers around.

Louis LeBeau speaks: "So, am i still in ze hostipal wiz ze pretty, how you say infirmière, yes, nurse?"

Little Jeebie Dee is getting impatient at the stalling tactics that The Chief is throwing his way...

Will Louis LeBeau heal any faster if the Detroit Vampires let Shreveport win this week?

NOT!

New Entry
 

Slave Name: Eyegor
Favorite Weapon: Spear
Stable Preference: House Corax

Update: I'm closing on both houses next Friday. After we get unpacked and settled in, Thunderdome will continue.

That is what I like to hear!

Latest Update:

We were supposed to close on our house sale and house purchase on May 6th. As it turns out, our buyer backed out of the deal. We just got financing to do the deal without a contingency and will be closing May 27th. If this pans out, I hope to have the dynasty back up and running by mid-June.

*Thread Necromancy*

SI

How I loved Thunderdome...Little Jeebie Dee was the greatest warrior of all time.

Man, I totally forgot about Thunderdome. Maybe it's because my guy always died.

Funny this thread got bumped, I was actually thinking about it earlier today...

Louis LeBeau should be fully healed by now, and will be ready for le fight...

Contrary to popular belief, I didn't remember this thread because of the situation in New Orleans but because I was cleaning out old bookmarks so I was looking at some old threads and said "hm... wonder if we could get this one back on track" :)

SI

lol, i thought about it yesterday...odd....it has been a long time since a blade died, whats wrong with the board?
