Well, the last sign up thread found HERE only generated 4 players signing up after an extended period, so the game pretty much died.

It did have a core group of gamers, but Gladiator was one of the games you had to make sure you were available for an extended period, and it seems that proved to be difficult for the majority of the interested players.

It's a shame it died though, as you are right, it was one of the best reads (for lurkers) and I for one appreciated the games even without participating. to those that played, and those that GM'd (the GM in Gladiator was at least as important as any of the players in my opinion...as in most of the Forum Games I suppose, but moreso in Gladiator, because without a good GM, both to keep the game moving and to provide an interesting storyline, the game is essentially reduced to 3 sets of numbers totalling 100....not that interesting by itself).

I guess we could get a new game started if there's interest, but skip the (dull) round robins stage and get straight to the meat.

Well if we have 4 or 8 I don't mind a straight tourney. With different numbers the knockout phase may be necessary. Personally I think it adds variety, though I also prefer the knockouts.

I've come up with a solution of how everyone can play including the GM.

There is the GM and theer are two assistant GMs and they process the fights they are not in. A table of matches GMed by different GMs should be made and that's essentially it.

We have the following people:

Ljube-ljcvetko (GM)
Jamski
Kassiopeia (Assistant GM)
paramir
DrSpike (Assistant GM)
Sparrowhawk

That's 6. I believe Theben and Spaced Cowboy can easily be persuaded. That's eight. We can start the quarterfinals since Jam hates round robin. I love it on the other hand and I suggest we play a solely round robin tourney one day.

Oops, though I enjoy reading this game, my orders are largely guesswork, and I am terrible at the strategy of htis game . Having said that I would happily participate in the game, however I am away for most of the end of February.

Therefore, unless you plan to start March 1 or later, I must decline.

In that case we'll start the game with four players and me as the GM. We'll go straight to teh semis. There will be a fight for the third place too. That way we'll finish the game by the beginning of March, in time for another eight players game.

Might be better to give SC and Theben the chance to reply. Sparrow can be persuaded I'm sure if he is needed.

Upon further ruvue of the rules i'm starting to think the game is BETTER with just 4-8 people, even if it means having 2 going at once

I'd give it a go, but do not want to budge in with a perfect match of 4...Theben is AWOL and has been for some time.

Well, even though I'd be number one seed I don't really see the point with 4. Plus we don't have to argue over number 2 seed.

A four way gladiator combat will start on Wednesday. The tourney will be seeded.

1. DrSpike
2. Jamski
3. Kassiopeia
4. paramir


There will be a fight for the third place. So the pairs of the semis are:

Central Arena: DrSpike vs paramir
Arena No. 1 (also called Emperor Commodus's Arena): Jamski vs Kassiopeia


Please provide your names and stats.
May the carnage begin.
Turn will be 24 hours except the weekend.
