Discworld Deathmatch

Chowley

I have to say some of those matchups are really bad.

Its like having Brazil v. Argentina
Spain v. Italy
Turkey v. South Korea :rolleyes:
In the first round of the world cup!

whats the second round going to be like?

Japan v. Ireland
New Zealand v. Australia
Trinidad and Tobago v. Canada

Christ man, good of you to put in all the effort but a little bit of thought would have been nice.

Chowley has a point, I mean what chance does Gaspode really have against the Death of Rats, come on, he's not even really alive in the first place.

If your going to put in ontropomorphic fighters, you'd have to put in differant classes. Cause otherwise death will always win in the end.:(

I don't mind either way but I like the line up, maybe the first few rounds could be decided by discussion then when we get to the last 8 or 16 we can start polling?

If no one disagrees with my evaluation of the first round maybe we could proceed to round two and someone else could make the suggestions for who wins?:)

As for Death, maybe he faces Fate early on and gets knockerd out? Could Death be defeated by Fate?

Note that one or two of my decisions where based on TKO (Life Detritus Vs Angua)

TheSonOfBattles

Even if Death could be defeated by Fate, it still makes it pointless. If you include onthropomorphic personifications with everyone then they're goin to win, so there's no point including anyone else. We might as well just skip along to the final four right now in that case, and save us all some time and argument.

jongore

Ah yes but maybe someone else can defeat their Fate? Maybe Carrots fate was to be King but he has defeated it?
And hasn't Rincewind cheated death and every opurtunity?

In a one off battle maybe these anthropomorphic personifications can be defeated.

I had Reg defeat Pestilence in my list so I think it is possible.:)

TheSonOfBattles

Rincewind may have cheated Death a lot, that doesn't mean Death won't defeat him in the end. Just that it will take a while. As for the rest, so someone defeated there fate one, does that mean they can't die from pestilance, war or just plain Death. One of those four, or even Kaos will always win, because, in the end, they have more power than Gods. How do you kill Death? etc...

How about dice rolls, which we attach stories to at the next boards.ie piss up?

TheSonOfBattles

The Network execu-bots would love it at the least i'd say.

All true, but this is a one off battle, so it is possible for Death to be defeated (If only for a while). As I said before I think we should get it down to 8 or 16 and then start to vote. If you don't like the outcomes I described put in some of your own (At least that discussion might liven this place up);)

I actually like this idea we could do this for the tougher opponants like death and fate and so on

i do concede that people like fate and death in the deathmatch are increadibly hard to beat but if you can suggest 32 of the most popular charachters from the discworld that arent really really easy to kill then go right ahead thats the point of having death and the like in this thing as i've always wondered how'd death do in a scrap,

also the matches were randomly drawn from a hat i didnt actually decide these matches in my head otherwise the draws would be alot fairer, and thats the way they'll go all the way to the finals.

mabye the last 8 people left (last 3 fights) we'll do polls alright but the first few rounds we'd better discuss or roll dice so something cos i dont really want to get banned from discworld thread for that

so far the most logical idea seems that we decide ourselves or roll dice??? what say you?

jongore

Decide ourselves, the discussion is all part of the fun

TheSonOfBattles

Meh, why not just throw the final 32 into a cap in that case, and draw out the final 8? Save sometime, and we can get onto long discussions and polls much, much faster that way. No? ww)

Carrot Vs Dorfl - Carrot (Gets Cst. Visit to discuss religion with Dorfl, Dorlf fails to show)

Dorfl is too patient for that and not like he'll die of old age anytime soon.
Most Golems are kinda tough and Dorfl is not made of clay.
You could make a ranking table based on known results - see how they do against a common adversary...

So far the Gods haven't won against Cohen or Dorlf....
