    Liberation, this looks like a great double header! Cheers to PAWS for the halftime show. I'm looking forward to another 2v2 tourney and Gladiator fight.

    What does the gladiator fight entail? You said show up naked. Does that mean we're going to be running around "dodging" something, or just naked of armor and clothing, but still fighting with weapons and spells?

    You'll enter the ring completely unarmed and unarmored and have to pick your weapons and armor from the ground before you commence slaughtering your opponents.

    By far one of the most enjoyable Fight Nights!

    The opening Gladiatorial Fights were awesome, i'm just sad i didn't capture the image before it started. There were weapons and items scattered everywhere!

    After the Gladiator Fights, Catalin was tasked with 'stretching' out the event for approximately 45-50 minutes. Leading the crowd outside with promises of 6k to the first person to kill him, Catalin started up pretty much a second round of free brawling. Those who are afraid of dying and losing precious pixels might have had hard time during this portion of the shennanigans, indeed somebody got Catalin's 6k! I just hope they spend it on kittens and lost puppies!

    After the brawling subsided, Jupiter entertained the masses with a game of Mage Poker. The participants were able to guess or match what Jupiter would cast, several tried to match, most failed to guess the right one, but Flayer of Life (and clothes) was the victor! Winning to platinum coins for successfully guessing the summoned creature before it was cast.

    This was a TON of fun!

    I didn't get a picture of the "before", but here is the final kill shot:

    Was a great event. My only suggestion for next time would be to have a house owner Detecting Hidden every 10 seconds if possible. I was one of the people hiding at the beginning, but I fully expected to be revealed.

    Also, apologies to everyone for spamming Snooping. Once we were in the "holding pen", I realized I had 100 INT and 25 DEX from GMing Magery as the last skill on this char, who was intended to be a dexer. Fortunately was able to swap those figures in about two minutes of spamming Snooping.
