I'm running Mo' Creatures. Adds a huge variety of wildlife and mystical animals, plus associated craftables. However, I think they just mostly just drop normal items. Like, a bear will still drop beef.

If I remember my history correctly, gladiators back in the Roman/Greek eras actually did tie somewhat frequently. If both sides fought well and neither could best the other, the battle was declared a draw and they'd both get to live. Deaths were not as frequent as popular media shows, because training a gladiator was very expensive and time-consuming. The popular ones actually had money and slaves of their own, because they were that profitable.

Not that this game is realistic or historically accurate :P

The format is win-lose-kill. So you have 9 wins and 1 loss. I don't think this games does ties.

The sell screen is kinda messed up. It shows Arrakis as Level 7 and worth 296 gold, while it shows Miss Demeanor as Level 1 and worth 453 gold. I can understand Arrakis not being worth much (because he sucks), but the levels are way off.

@ Exerosp: One of the first things I did in this game is upgrade the armory twice. Now I have a nice array of light/medium armors and a decent selection of weapons in every category.

Are you cooking the plump helmets themselves? Cooking a plant will destroy it's seeds.

Nenjin pretty much got it. I used to work in cable, so I know how they'd do it.

Of course, what installation guys can and cannot do varies from area to area. For instance, I was not allowed to run cable to an interior wall; all new connections had to be run around the house. We were also not allowed to run new lines in apartments - it was up to the landlord to hire an electrician to run the line, and we'd come back later to get everything hooked up.

Could be really awesome... too bad Notch said it would have minimal textures (only polygons), then justified it as a "retro stylistic" choice, and not just being too lazy to make art. Come on, at least ASCII like DF is a meaningful stylistic choice.
worse graphics, more time to spend on improving gameplay.

I never said "HE NEEDS TO MAKE IT LOOK CRYSIS".
I think that the game would benefit greatly if Notch could be bothered to create even rudimentary textures. But that's not what bothers me, so much as the fact that he thinks he can pass off sheer laziness as a "stylistic choice".
Y'know, like DF or Nethack. Or Space Empires, or Aurora, or any number of other games ::)

Note how all those are 2D. 2D ASCII is completely different from having untextured polygons. You can mod in graphics for all of those, but that's not what they're made for. Now, think about flying through space, in your flat gray ship, looking at the bland polygon rust-red asteroids...
Flotilla. Flat untextured polygons. Admittedly colorful, but still polygons.

Dude, it's one loss in a browser-based game. It's not the end of the world :/

Hmm. Current weapon is a sledgehammer that gives +5 attack. In the store is a flail that is slightly faster and lighter, does 5 more damage per round, and gives +2 chi and defense. Worthy trade?

Better check to make sure he isn't injured or has resurrection sickness or something.

I've seen that happen before. The funny/pathetic thing is that neither fighter managed to land a single hit.

In other news, Miss Demeanor just fought a sexual predator named Go Ku. Dude had no armor or weapons, and the only hits he landed were to the groin and lower back. Miss Demeanor caved his skull in.

Miss Demeanor is now at 11 wins, 2 losses. Still no kills :P

ETA: This is the most pathetic contract I've ever seen :|
