Hello CFC! This is your king speaking!

So, I started this forum game known as THE ARENA: A New Forum Game back in July. It was a fair success, gathering many participants, and in the end it was Dhoomstriker who ended up winning...and the there was The Arena II: The Striker Doesn't Strike Back that just ended, with General Olaf coming out on top. The GM spot was filled by Sparthage after I decided I would take a break from this game, so thank yous should go to him.

So how do you play this game?

THE RULES:
1. There will be a list of 20 CFCers below. Previous winners are not allowed to reenter.
2. Every round, I will use a RNG to pick two CFCers. These two will be thrown into THE ARENA.
3. Everyone can then vote on the two people in the arena, except the two being voted upon. Even if you are not on the list, you can still vote. Votes must be in bold
4. The winner gets a win marked down, the loser gets a loss marked down. It is possible to have ties, but tied rounds do not count towards elimination at all.
5. I will then draw two more names, there is another vote. I try to make it so that if you are in the arena, there are 2 rounds until you are back in, but in later rounds this may not be possible.
6. If you get 2 losses, you are out of the game.
7. We keep playing until there is only 1 person left.

Out of curiosity, is Dhoom allowed to participate this time? Or is this a "you win once, then you never compete again" thing.

The wording makes me think he can't.

Incidentally, I had this idea: something along the lines of after the Arena, say, 10 finished, all the winners faced off in a sort of All-Stars competition. What do people think of that? - and especially SK, since he'd probably be the one running it?

...until he grows tired of it and I take over again.

More seriously though, it could be interesting. We might be running low on players at that point, and it would probably come in 2015, but whatever. At least it would have a chance at beating Civ6's release date.

I was thinking of doing a sort of arena-like game where there'd be more than one face-off happening at once, any thoughts on that too?

Finally, I'll post the final statistics for y'all's viewing pleasure tomorrow.

The game would certainly go quicker if you had, say, up to 3 simultaneous Arena rings.

It would be more like watching professional sports--generally, on any given evening/Sunday, you can find multiple teams facing off.

So, a voter could list up to three bolded names.
