My fight with Cupuacu is illegitimate, the admins gave my gladiator the wrong equipment, hence they didn't play my gladiator but something similar. An email has been sent a few days ago.

Did you meet the deadline for equipment purchases? Hopefully you can get this sorted out.

Yeah of course. It's just misclicked equipment, so should be re-done.

From Organizer Tekkud:

There has been an error in the round 2 fight between Stimraug and Cupuaçu. I mistakenly selected a bronze dagger rather than iron for Stimraug's weapon.

We can't accept the results of the fight because it's pretty clearly unfair. So we've run the fight again with the correct equipment and the result has changed. Stimraug is victorious and Cupuaçu has been slain in round 2!

I apologize for the confusion this has caused. A new fight will replace the old one in the existing results post when it is written up (hopefully today). Betting results will be updated and I will make sure anyone directly affected is made aware before they lock in new bets or upgrades.

The bet results have been updated on the sheet - one bet on Cupuaçu lost out and none had been placed on Stimraug, so if you won your bet in round 2, your payout is 2-8 gold higher.

If you already placed a bet and would like to change anything about it, feel very free to!

100 gold on Ndrog! The Committee from the Glowing Marshes is hopeful that he'll replace Cackling Jack as their chief Evil Henchman. They are most amused by his skill and bloodlust!

All my money on Carabella the Fast! I totally believed in her and did not think she would've been outclassed by her opponent. I just was too busy to bet I swear.

The crowd roars insults as the beast lays its noble foe down at last.
"Did it just... speak?"
"Don't be ridiculous! A bull cow cannot speak even in a coarse elven tongue!"

Led through corridors of sculpted stone, some may claim they have seen the beast chortling, slapping the dwarf on the back hard enough to make him jump.
"Lies. Scandal! A monster, such as it, can only know fear and death. I should know, after the lengths I went to acquire the beast."

He bets everything on the Beast of Spearimpale!

Nijinsky sits by the cool flowing water of the mountain stream. The evening insects chirp in the low branches of the willow trees. His lithe form is covered only by a plain, brown cloak, and the ruby red eyes of his fox-eared mask show a hidden luster in the moonlight. He stays there, unmoving, for the remainder of the night.

Is he meditating? Or asleep?

...

nijinsky's thoughts: "I hope someone sees me here I looks so awesome and mysterious!"

I'll put 50 gold on Ine.

I want to bet that a rat can beat a minotaur, but I just can't see it happening. Please prove me wrong!

I'm interested to see how the modded scourge deals with a large target.
