...combat happens FAST.

Good times all around.

Yes! Kudos to all gladiators, especially to a certain heel that everyone loved to hate. I admire his guts!

Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained?!

A thank you to the players and staff that put this together.

And a special thanks to those who died to entertain us.

I thought it was a little too hard to keep track of what was going on, to be enjoyable.

The combat was so fast that the gladiators got off maybe a single emote per death...

Also, what's with being able to hear all the useless dialogue on the arena floor?  It's annoying being able to hear, "Amos, watch my back.  Malik, attack the elf first, then regroup on the Beast's Chraden."

Oh, and another thing: Templars, don't let your gladiators use clubs. One-hit knockouts are lame.

Haha, oh man.

That was some of the best fun I've had in a good while on Arm.

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped put it together.. the whole event was great  ;D

I enjoyed this alot.

It was almost as spammy as the Gith War itself, except there wasn't any exploding, metal weapons, or my PC accidentally attacking the people on their side (oops, my bad for that, guys who were around in the Gith War).

I would have also enjoyed less spam, but this is an RPT, so... Doesn't that say it all?
As of February 2017, I no longer play Armageddon.

It was ACE! Thanks to everyone. Gladiators were just amazing. Very cool overall.

Only complaint:

Boo to all you Americans going to bed so early. I could have carried the party on allll night.  8)

I don't always act superior... but when I do it's on the forums of a text-based game

protip: brief combat

Even then, yes - what glorious, violent combat spam. I'm still riding that adrenaline rush.

Dude, that's Byn training.

Clans can give stat bonuses and penalties, too. The Byn drop in wisdom is particularly notorious.

From what I saw, a number of these were actually one hit kills. Arm combat, fast and deadly.  And lastly, don't stop using them, its awesome to see people explode into gore.

Outstanding RPT, orchestrated with skill by staff and executed fantastically by players.  Well done, all.

For those who truly rocked:

In my time on Armageddon I've seen a number of excellent arena matches, but last night's exhibition really took the cake.

For everyone who sat in the stands, cheering and jeering, hurling fruit and feces, Kudos to you for making the environment realistic.

For everyone who volunteered to go down into the sands and fight alongside or with the gladiators, Kudos to you for showing the spirit of the Festival and for standing and delivering in the name of your faction.

And for the gladiators, I have a double dipped, chocolate and fudge covered, cherry centered Kudos.  You did an -amazing- job.  Truly inspiring.  Every emote, every wound dealt or coped with, the insults and commaradarie, wonton bloodshed, and occasional bouts of cannibalism... seriously excellent.

My thanks to everyone involved.  To quote Bladerunner:  "You've done a man's job, sir!  It's too bad she won't live... but then again, who does?"
I seduced the daughters of men
And made the death of them.
I demanded human sacrifices
From the rest of them.
I became the spirit that haunted
And protected them.
And I lived in the tower of flame
But death collected them.

Everyone who took part in the arena games deserves a round of applause.  That was one of the most fun events I have seen in some time.
