Bumfights: Norrath

[Portasaurus]

Remember those really really terrible unethical VHS tapes you could buy in the early 2000s where some jackass would pay two bums to duke it out over a hot dog and 20 bucks?

Well, as horrible as that was in real life, I think that same idea could really blossom here in Norrath.

Especially with casinos being banned, I feel like those of us that enjoy a good game of risk -- combined with a good game of sport (in this case murder) -- have been yearning for something like this for a while now.

Here's a very, very rough cut of the concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhxL-b5IawY

Two fighters duel. BARE-KNUCKLE BOXING (no weapons/no armor). Each fighter pays 25pp to the referee. The winner wins 50pp.

Being as these will be level 1 naked fighters with no money, we will also need sponsors to fund and spectate the fights. The "sponsors" will be the actual backers of the fighters. They will pay 25pp to the fighter, who will then pay the 25pp to the referee. They can work out a deal with the fighter about who gets to keep what cut if they win. Perhaps a fighter with a proven record and better odds deserves a bigger cut?

We can do as many matches as we have contestants.

Just reply to this thread if you would be interested in helping with this and/or competing as a contestant.

If we get enough interest, we'll set a time and make it happen.

YOU could be the next contestant on Bumfights: Norrath!

This could be fun if it was just randomly picked newbs in EC or wherever, not necessarily level 1s (that could be a bit boring). I'm sure there are people who would fight over a set of banded armor or a Sword of Skyfire or whatever.

You might be on to something.

Maybe expand this into lowbie dueling brackets level 10, 20, 30 etc. People can gear up their own "champion" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The bare-knuckle part is a bad idea unless you're having monks duel. Hand-to-hand damage at level 1 for a non-monk is a max hit of 2. With running around to avoid attacks and the low skills at level 1, neither character would ever be able to kill the other one; 1hp regen a tick would make up for any damage dealt. If you've ever died on a low level character and tried meleeing crap until you got a weapon, you know how hard it is to accumulate any damage.

Classic punchout & classic EQ in 1 video?
