How'd You Like Those Arenas?

[Jent]

*Trace dumps two more vats of liquid pocky on Kat and Embri, with a bucket of mashmellos. ~This is fun.~

Trace: DP, EMBRI HEAD WITH A LOT OF POCKY! COME AND GET IT DP!

[Embri]

Embri glares at Kat and Trace as she shakes, spraying everyone with liquid Pocky chocolate. The unpleasant, acrid smell of burning chocolate fills the air as the unicorn charrs away the remainder of the brown coating from her fur, brushing off the ashes with her feathered wings.

"YOUR TURN!" Embri grabs Trace by the collar and dumps him in the liquid Pocky chocolate.

~Oh, SENSEI! I have some lovely treats for you...~

[Jent]

*Gets messy with liquid pocky every where.* ~I hate it when it goes in my fur.~ *Then he pulls Embri in the liquid pocky, uses his MFC (Mantis flip coin.) and jumps out of it.*

Trace: DP, FREE HORSE IN POCKY! WHO NAME IS EMBRI, COATED IN POCKY! *Then he runs into a shower.*

[Embri]

*Embri tires of this mess and melts through the earth, disappearing.*

"Ugh. I've had enough of this."

Lawn wars: A simulation of an average back yard many times its normal size. Contestants must fight amongst grass the size of trees while avoiding the garden fauna (including the warring ant colonies) and the dreaded Lawnmower.

We've all be suggesting arenas where we make our contestants small... What if we made them huge?!

Monstropolis: Plays out like a Godzilla Movie. All contenders are gigantic, on an island with a city, and there's a military perimeter set up around the island.

Ladder Match: The normal arena, except it has one ladder. The Goal: Use the Ladder to get the suspended piece of Pocky. Gravity is triple strength to prevent flying.

*Notices Trace showering in Pocky after unsucesfully trying to douse Kat in pocky again*

"Odd...."

What about a mirror arena, where at a random point in the match, the opponents are forced into each other's bodies?

Death Factor: Whilst performing a death defying stunt, like fighting on two speeding trucks with nothing but fast air on their trailers.
Or falling through the air, having to knock your opponant into unconsciousness before pulling your parachute string. The last one to pull is the winner otherwise, no matter what damage (bar death) they take...

Shelve Wars: You have to fight amongst stationary, action figures, statues, bookends and other random items. Just, don't, look, DOWN!

How about new gametypes?

'Oops...':

Mercury II: Once again you find yourself on the revolving shards of mercury. This time not as enemies, however, but as allies as you attempt to stop our sun from going supernova and obliterating all life in out solar-system, contestants included.

Forum Wars: You stand on the battlefield looking in horror as your worst nightmare plays out once again. Huge armies fighting, dragons smiting and castles in the distance. Can you prevent the multiverse from collapsing before it's too late?

Capture the Flag:

Urban: You and your enemies are on different sides of the city. In the center, there are two giant sky-scrapers, each holding a flag. One is your flag, the other is your ememy's. This arena is not just about defence and offence, it's about tactics and speed. Get to your flag first, because if they beat you you're as good as dead.

Cyberspace II: This time you fight over a single data disk instead of two seperate flags. The person who controls the disk can alter the arena at will, over-powering even the judge's decisions should they find them unadvantagous.

Destruction:

Pluto: One team must destroy the planet, the other must defend it. Simple. Or so it seems, as the planet isn't as helpless as it may look at first.

Intercontinental thermonuclear war: Based on the Red Alert 2 timeline, one team plays the allied team and the other plays the soviet team. The two super-powers are on the brink of nuclear war. Pick your targets carefully, you have a limited supply of nukes.

Angels and Demons:

Joe Doe: Your 100% average guy. One team plays the 'angels', who must keep him on the path to heaven, whilst one team must play the 'demons', who wish to make Joe's life a misery and send him to the firey depths of hell.

Fort: Step into the life of our headmaster for a moment. Can the Angels turn him towards the path of good, or can the Demons ensure his world domination attempts come to fruition?

***

I personally like the 'Angels and Demons - Fort' arena, but the 'Oops' arenas would be fun too. Cyberspace II could be interesting, depending on who got the disk and how it was used.

Different game types could be something to try for next year. I reckon that the Olympics would need to be much bigger than they are now in order to fill these kind of events up, but great suggestions.

Oh and guys *everyone pauses from chewing Embri's head* the best meat's in the rump.

...The only appropriate way to follow up on that post is with one word: Giggity!

[Goron40]

Point based matches:

Gladiator: Players respawn if killed. Anyone can kill each other, but only the gladiator can score. If you kill the gladiator, you become the gladiator. Gladiator's powers are greatly increased. Play to some amount of points or until time runs out.

Battle Monkey Assistants: Players respawn if killed. Whoever is in last place gets a team of battle monkeys to control until they move out of last. Play to some amount of points or until time runs out.

Shrink: Players respawn if killed. Players shrink based on ranking. Last place is the smallest, and therefore harder to hit. Players move at the same speed regardless. Play to some amount of points or until time runs out.

I've had an excellant idea, and I laugh at those thrown in if it is used...

The Wrestling Ring:

That's right, the squared circle! All extra powers are stripped (giving an advantage to those who are naturally strong or who have technology on their side thus giving strength). And all weapons deactivated.

You have to follow the set standard of rules, three second pin count, with both shoulders down. Submission tap out. Ring out (i.e. 10 count). And disqualification for illegal moves (and weaponry ).

With the judges discretion as to the variant of the wrestling match (such as submission only, hardcore match etc...)

Thumb Wars:

There are two variations to this. The first, is you are dressed up as a thumb, basically. And you have to fight, with just your body and legs. Pray you can stand back up if knocked over.

The second, is the traditional thumb war, with you using just your thumbs..
