And.... I'm in last. Well, I'll just pretend you're a terrible typist and meant to write 4000, not 400. Shame on you.

*pats*

"Poor guy..." I thought when I saw your bets  :). You still got 400 and can reset to 1000 if you lose, let it all go and hope for the best!

Do you have something against the older dwarves Zanziik? Dem poor dwarves  :'(

Well, I think I'm going to go ahead and make this an all out bet or two. And hope I win at least a little bit back...

500 on Reg Dustcrafted
698 on Siegebane

You know, considering how much time I spend managing risk for trading currencies, you think I'd be better at this. Ah well, I'll bet the farm anyway ; )

100 on Basher
100 on Nerfy
100 on Magoo
100 on Siegebane

And yes, I did just bet on the first ones you mentioned. Can't do worse than the last strategy.... aha

It's a good thing nobody has asked about those beers... fuck!

A lot of rounds to get through so keeping with the 1 day 1 round deal betting will end friday, no earlier then the time I posted the matches. For those interested this round robin round 1 will take 15 betting rounds and only 4 afterward to determine the champions (best-of matches will be done in a package deal). If I tack on the after-tournament where the champions battle each other that will add another 6 betting rounds.

NUMBRAS! OM NOM

Swordsdwarf Matchup:
(350☼) Basher vs. The Executioner (200☼)
Axedwarf Matchup:
(350☼) Nerfy vs. Vabôk Claspscalds (100☼)
Hammerdwarf Matchup:
(350☼) Magoo vs. Reg Dustedcrafted (700☼)
Speardwarf Matchup:
(1448☼) Siegebane vs. The Surgeon (500☼)

Good GOD i'm exausted... Went rl mining today digging post holes in a !!science!!y way with an auger, or a ≡steel giant corkscrew≡. That would be a fun addition to DF :o. Yes, I did spin, but stayed on my feet.

Onto the results!

Betting Round 3 Results:

Swordsdwarf Matchup:
(350☼) Basher vs. The Executioner (703☼)
WINNER: THE EXECUTIONER, took some bruises
Axedwarf Matchup:
(853☼) Nerfy vs. Vabôk Claspscalds (100☼)
WINNER: VABOK CLASPSCALDS, had a broken ear and some bruises
Hammerdwarf Matchup:
(803☼) Magoo vs. Reg Dustedcrafted (850☼)
WINNER: MAGOO
Speardwarf Matchup:
(1901☼) Siegebane vs. The Surgeon (750☼)
WINNER: THE SURGEON

Big wins and big losses all around. Firelordsky scored huge on The Surgeon winning 1014☼ in profit, putting him in the lead, but still doesn't hold a candle to Zanziik's wise bet on Vabok which helped him amass a net gain of 1206☼. You lucky fuck.

On the other end of the spectrum is Theodolus who is the first to go bankrupt. Sorry ma lad. You can have another 1000☼ if you want to keep playing but you must skip betting round 4.

A new rule i'm adding is if you've lost so much that you'd rather skip a betting round and then reset back to 1000☼ you can. I'm looking at you drakon, unless you think you can fight back with 36☼ ;). This applies to anyone with less then 1000☼.

Spoiler: Player Leaderboard (click to show/hide)

Every dwarf has at least 1 fight now, from this point on I constructed the matches to try and keep the best ones for last, so lots of winners facing losers. The decision might seem easy, but an upset could change the leaderboard on its head. No pressure!

Betting Round 4:

Swordsdwarf Matchup:
Deadpool vs. Hollywood
Axedwarf Matchup:
Punisher vs. Nerfy
Hammerdwarf Matchup:
Tyson vs. The Stud
Speardwarf Matchup:
Spartan vs. Tooth Fairy

402 on each of Deadpool, Punisher, Tyson and Spartan.

Also, IMO giving funds again to bankrupt betters is too lenient. Maybe lower it from 1000 dorfbucks to 500?
