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

I quite like how it balances itself out. I think there's still 10 people playing which means when one person goes bankrupt and gets a second 1000☼, the average balance is moved to 1100☼, so they still start out at a disadvantage. It would keep going up as more people went bankrupt and introduced more turtles. Inflation if you will  :D.

1000 on Zero! (a dummy post to keep an eye on this thread. Might as well make it interesting though ;))

I'm getting an inkling that that the tournament is probably more entertaining for me then for others. Not that there isn't a place for this kind of game-topic, but maybe under different circumstances. Like with shown skills and varying armour and weapons. Who wins these fights are by no means random and are pretty consistant with the odd upset, but i'll admit that years-active is the only reliable information to base decisions on and everything else is misleading more-or-less. So, sorry to those who are still playing and want to continue but i'm going to be ending it here.
