Update coming within 12 hours

Theben · July 28, 2008, 15:53

So is the Doctor taking a dirt nap?

snoopy369 · July 28, 2008, 16:09

Sheesh, we're only playing to the pain, not to the death

It is the line we are willing to push that seperates the true warriors

I shall remember this, it is a glorious achievement, short of an honorable death

/me bows, keeping a steady gaze upon Sopwith Camel

Theben · July 28, 2008, 16:49

The Doc runs around with that Hackmaster +20 like small children run with scissors. No one is safe.

DrSpike · July 28, 2008, 18:06

Especially you.

The tents were filled and the derrick was teaming with spectators.

It was 10:58 am and the festivity's were about to begin. Grumpius Trollium II waited in a state of calm agitation in the 'pit' for his name to be called. The pit was really a suspended platform hanging from the side of the helipad which was normally used to clean the outside of the rig or to make difficult repairs. Grumpius found the whole thing discombobulating and could only hope his opponent felt the same way.

On the other side of the pad, Sopwith Camel was running around in his own pit with his arms up like airplane wings. Apparently he thought he was high over the Atlantic dog fighting with Germans. He seemed to be enjoying himself. The booming voice of the announcer brought him out of his revelry.

"Ladies and Gentleman..." (The only ladies present were the high quality prostitutes imported from Germany)

"...Welcome to the first annual Gladiator Games on the Infernal Platform!" The crowd clucked approvingly.

"No more preamble, let's get to the first fight!" The crowd cheers.

"Stepping into the ring now is the newcomer Grumpius Trollium II, who will be fighting Sopwith Camel!. Let the fight begin!"

Code:

                             Grumpius Trollium II vs. Sopwith Camel

The two gladiators stared at each other.  Grumpius Trollium II attempted to bow 
and Sopwith Camel lashed out at him!
Grumpius side stepped out of the way just in time(1:Miss) and swung his 
Tri-Staff with 1.75 pound Mace Ball extendor at
Sopwith Camel back, but it fell short(1:Miss). 
Camel turned around quickly swinging his dagger and made contact with metal, but it bounced off(2:Miss). 
Grumpius swung his staff at Camel's head but he ducked just in time(2:Miss). Frustrated, Sopwith ran straight at Grumpius.
Grumpius, seeing his opportunity stepped to the side(3:Miss) and round house kicked Camel in the back.!(3:Hit!(9))

Grumpius Trollium II: 100 HP Sopwith Camel: 91 HP

"Well wasn't that exciting folks? Next up we have Spacius Maximus
against Theben!"

Code:

                                Spacius Maximus vs. Theben

After they entered the ring, Theben waited for Spacius Maximus to strike, but he stood there and did nothing! 
(1:Miss)  
Finally, Theben steps up and swings his sword at Spacius, but it is 
parried easily.(1:Miss) Theben steps back and waited for 
Spacius Maximus to strike, but again he stood there and did 
nothing! (2:Miss) 
 Theben charged again but the strike 
bounced off Maximus' shield. (2:Miss) 
When Theben recoiled, Spacius Maximus hit him hard on the head with his sword. 
(3:Hit!(35)) Maximus stood back to gloat and Theben from 
the ground lashed out with his sword at Spacius leg leaving a huge 
gash. (3:Hit!(21))

Spacius Maximus: 79 HP   Theben: 65 HP

Wow! What an ending. Ludd and Felchum are last up!"

Code:

                             Ludd vs. Felchum

Both Gladiators entered the ring at the same time, though one took
considerably more room than the other.  Ludd refused to move.  
(1,2:Miss) Unpreturbed, Felchum made contact with Ludd's 
plate mail twice, but he didn't leave a dent. (1,2:Miss)  
Finally, they charged at each other simultaneously.  This was a 
matchup Felchum could not win.(3:Hit!(0)) He was knocked 
flat on his back.(3:Hit!(5))

Ludd: 100 HP  Felchum: 95 HP

Grandpa Troll · July 28, 2008, 19:08

I wish to salute Sopwith, a hard,firm and steadfast warrior!

/me is thankful he did not have to harm a great warrior to move forward, but what of his next round?

EPW · July 28, 2008, 20:12

Later tonight

EPW · July 28, 2008, 20:43

its hard to get it formatted right

Felch · July 28, 2008, 21:18

Great work man.

LUUUUDD! I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME!

snoopy369 · July 28, 2008, 22:25

Just a minor technical note...

Sopwith Camel is the weapon, not the fighter

The fighter would be Snoopy...

Theben · July 28, 2008, 22:41

hmmmm...

Your weapon is a SopwithCamel?

either Poly Staff is working you too hard and ya missed something or I did?

My weapon (I described it) is used by my charcter Grampius

Technically speaking that is

snoopy369 · July 28, 2008, 23:53

My weapon is a Sopwith Camel. Perhaps you've seen it...

Or perhaps this will refresh your memory:

The dual Vickers machine guns cut down over 1,000 Germans, more than any other Allied plane in WWI; and of course, more than one was the responsibility of your pal here...

In the first round, I was just getting your bearings, of course. In the second round, I shall charge fearlessly, sparing no thought to caution...

Grandpa Troll · July 29, 2008, 00:04

Snoopy, yeah, i am well versed on Sopwith Camel

My understanding was we were Gladiators, not military machine

Heck, I would have chosen a Flame throwing Tank if that was so or even an Interceptor

/me walks away, cant believe Smoopy369 thought I didnt know what a Sopwith Camel was

EPW · July 29, 2008, 00:09

Your a nutball Sopwith, not even knowing your own name.

DrSpike · July 29, 2008, 03:41

EPW · July 29, 2008, 05:29

"We are ready to start Match 2, first up is..."

"Wait, Wait!" Sopwith Camel had come into the running into the middle of the ring yelling. Unseen, snipers in the 2 cranes used for unloading equipment trained their sites on his back.

"This is against protocol, you must return immediately to the pit Sopwith Camel, or face disqualification!"

"My name isn't Sopwith Camel!" he yelled angerly.

"I said...What?!"

"My name isn't Sopwith Camel!" he yelled again. "It's Snoopy!"

"Snoopy? Are you sure?"

"Yes, of course! Well at least I think I'm sure."

"Then who is Sopwith Camel?"

"That's my plane of course"

"Your plane?....Oh." Snoopy was waving his knife in the air and making engine and zooming noises. The Roustabouts laughed wildly, the Texans hallowed, the other Americans Snoopy loudly, the Brits allowed a chuckle, the Arabs were in a drunken stupor, and the Chinese applauded politely. Hugo Chavez was with one of the German prostitutes.

"Very well...Snoopy" Bringing a new round of laughter and taunts from the crowd. "Return to the pit now" Snoopy and Sopwith Camel left sulkily.

""We are finally ready to start Match 2, first up is Grumpius Trollium II..." a polite murmur from the crowd. "versus the Doctor!" The crowd roared with approval.

Code:

                                  Grumpius Trollium II vs. The Doctor

Grumpius did not wait to bow, but instead ran at the Doctor. Surprised, The Doctor did not react until 
receiving a blow to the chin from the tri-staff. (1:Hit!(21)) Angered by the Troll's insolence, he whipped out his 
rapier and stabbed him right in the chest, penetrating Grumpius' studded leather armor. (1:Hit!(38))Grumpius yowled in pain and dropped his tristaff. 	
But remembering his Power Ranger Training he recovered quickly and punched The Doctor in the nose. (2:Hit!(24)) 
Blood was everywhere, the crowd hissed. Grumpius allowed the Doctor to get up, but was so stunned he could not strike.(2:Miss!) 
Grumpius, urged on by the crowd, picked up his staff and hit him in the gut with the mace.(3:Hit!(21)) 
 But The Doctor was ready, he stabbed Grumpius in the side while the momentum of the tristaff carried him forward.(3:Hit!(38))

Grumpius Trollium II: 24 HP    The Doctor: 34 HP

"Amazing! The Doctor brought down by a Troll, but his rapier saves him again!"

Code:

                                         Snoopy vs. Felchum

Snoopy brought Sopwith Cow to bear immediately on Felchum's armor, which absorbed most of the blow.(1:Hit!(7)) 
Felchum jabbed his saber and nicked Snoopy's hand. (1:Hit!(2))  Snoopy took up a defensive stance and swiped at 
Felchum's face...and missing by five feet.(2:Miss!) 
Felchum edged closer to Snoopy and tried to nick him in the other hand, but missed.(2:Miss!) 
Snoopy dived at Felchum and landed a huge gash across his face.(3:Hit!(17)) 
While Snoopy was still on the ground after the dive, Felchum bit him on the ankle.(3:Hit!(2)) 

Snoopy: 96 HP     Felchum: 76 HP

"Felchum sure has some nice ivories...hopefully that will change in the next few days!"

Code:

                                  Spacius Maximus vs. Ludd

The two contestants entered the ring and stared at each other. For five full minutes. (1,2:Miss!)(1:Miss!) 
Finally Ludd lunged at his opponent, but Spacius dodged away.(2:Miss!)
Finally Spacius slashed at his opponent, but his blow skirted off the thick armor.(3:Miss!) 
Ludd did not attempt to strike again.(3:Miss!)  The crowd booed. 

Spacius Maximus: 100 HP    Ludd: 100 HP
