DECEMBER UPDATES

December 31, 2001
Well I managed to accomplish one thing before the new year. I got this website changed and looking fresh. Hopefully I can get the rest of the fights done early this week. Well everyone. Happy New Year!!! I hope everyone has a great and safe night doing whatever it is they have planned. I will be drinking myself into a coma tonight, once I get to the Liquor Store. Anyway let me know what you think of the website and if there are any problems, or things you would like to see changed or added please let me know. I have some plans for this Pit... very good plans.

Well we have a new Pit Champion and his name is Rannos The Fatherless!!! His recent victory over Dis Loveth has placed him at the top. But we all know that if Calathra wins she will take home the title of Pit Champion for Season One!! View the latest fight between Dis Loveth and Rannos. Oh yeah what do you think of the new look. Things aren't complete and there are a lot of broken links but I will get those fixed up in time.

One week till Christmas! I still have the great debate as to wether or not I should get an X-Box, a Gamecube or a PS2. Four fights are done. Week 9 is finished and week 10 has begun! Watch as Shanna and Melquiades set upon each other. Rannos and Whisper clash! Dis Loveth and Flegmar! and week 10's first match, Crwag and Flegmar! A couple of other notes. I have recalculated gold and experience for everyone and a few corrections were made so make sure to check your experience point total. Most of you have also recieved more gold (just a little). As I now have a standard method for determining gold piece awards. Umm although there was a lot to update I don't really have much to say. I doubt I will be very active with the site over the holidays since I am taking a few days vacation time from work. I'll still have access to email though, just won't be updating the site too often. I'll have word by tomorrow as to how week 12 will end. Talk later guys.

I have two updates to make and one is very important. The first is another fight has been uploaded. Ralmauthar and Calathra. The second is a little bit more interesting (the fight is interesting but the fact I posted isn't :) I am announcing the match up for week 11. Week 11 is going to be three matches and they will be 2 on 2 matches. The pairings are as follows.

Dis Loveth and Ralmauthar vs Craningar and Whisper
Calathra and Crwag vs Crucibal and Flegmar
Shanna and Ackeron vs Rannos and Melquiades

These have been decided by myself with a lot of input from the other DM's. I'm not going to post player's email addresses, but if you want to pass things through me or use the forum to contact each other (and then persoanlly communicate) that is fine by me. I would like completed tactics by... well Christmas is coming up and stuff... well as soon as you can but I don't think the fights will be posted until the new year. I am promising you that I would like to have all the week 9 and 10 fights done before next Friday. Thats it for the moment.

Update: Ok you can now view the Ackeron and Craningar fight. As a note this was Ackeron's ranking fight. I would also like to take this brief moment to say thanks to the DM's that have helped me shape this arena. They work hard and brining you enjoyable matches and I thank them. I also want to thank all the players that keep cheering us DM's on and help by giving suggestions and participateing in the forum (which looks nicer now eh?). So thanks everyone and remember I am always striving to make this Pit great.

Well I have updated the site just a little bit. You will notice that the forum link has changed in order to have a new window open so you can remain at the site and still check and post messages. It was becoming so painful for me I finally changed it. I have another fight to post but do to technical difficulties beyond my control I can't currently access it. So hopefully it will be posted sometime today. I have two addendums to the magic item rule stated below. #1 - When purchasing an item (requesting first) it could take as long to get the item as it does to create it. Basically if an item takes 2 weeks to create it could take up to 2 weeks to get if purchased. #2 - Replenishing magic items between matches requires requesting the items or making them yourself and they are subject to time restrictions too. Expect this website to get a major overhaul in a few weeks. In addition does anyone know how to make PDF's (what is a good program and easy to use?).

Update: Ok I have added the last fight for week 8 and the first fight for week 9. It just so happens that Crwag is in both of them. Watch as Crwag and Shanna battle it out and then watch as Crucibal and Crwag attempt to best each other.

Today is a short update. After much deliberation amongst the members of the Council (that would be the DM's). We have come up with some ideas on how to handle certain issues. The two issues are below. I would also like to make an announcement that the fight between Shanna and Crwag should be posted sometime in the next few hours (its currently noon EST). I'm doing this update now though so everyone knows I am still actively working on the Pit (if work gets busy I don't always have the chance to update). The rules presented below are subject to change without notice.

ANIMALS IN THE PIT

Familiars - These are allowed without restriction as they are an integral part of the Class.

Summoned Creatures - These are allowed since currently there is no restriction on spells.

Animal Companions (Druid, etc.) - A limit of one can be brought into the Pit at a time regardless of what the HD limit is for a character.

Special Mounts (Paladin) - Not allowed in regular combat. Unique matches could allow a special mount.

Regular Animals Including Mounts - Not allowed in regular combat.


MAGIC ITEMS IN THE PIT

The purchase of Magic Items (including Potions and Scrolls) is being restricted. Any character that can create these items can do so following the costs in gold, experience AND time. All items being created must still be cleared with the DMs.

If someone is interested in purchasing an item that they cannot create then they must submit a request to the DMs (me and I will distribute). We will then dictate if you can find the item.

There is also a limit to the number of magic items that can be brought into the Pit. This limit is set at four.

More later...
