Here, you will be able to vote on a series of Battles. weekly where the greatest warriors will square off in combat! Fighters are split into divisions, aptly named for the fighting prowess of those within. The victors each week continue on in a typical eliminations-style tournament, until a victor is crowned champion of each division. Here, you'll also find exciting bonus matches and other spectacles to seduce your battle-starved souls, enough honourable combat to fill even an old man like me with joy! Questions? Go here! In addition, there's another small tournament called Not Ranked, which pits an even wider assortment of unique, secretive and unknown warriors against each other in a similar vein. If you're looking for a favourite, it wouldn't hurt to check that out as well. The DL is more than answering the question of how fighters stack up. It's a repository of information about RPG's varying from the obscure to the well known. Every bit of data gathered from every dank duengon and musty library in the RPG universe is gathered here. If you youngsters want to talk about any RPG of any stripe, you're welcome here. Check out this center of learning and find out new information about your favorite games! You've done a good job paying attention, students. Here's the news for Season 46: Many disciples train long and hard to gain entry into the DL proper. In one weeks time we'll see two new faces come forward and attempt to battle their way into the league. Think long and hard about you you wish to see enter the league when the time comes, and help us find the right games to add to our roster. Not Ranked is also returning soon. If you wish to find out more, contact Tonfa Baton at our forums! Looking to make an impact? Have an opinion about a fight, or merely wish to tell a story about how your favorite fighter wins (Or how that dishonorable hated fighter loses?) Send in a comment on a fight this week! The fans who come to vote and write create some of the magic of our universe. If not for your contributions, we would have have seen the 'magical' side of Ghaleon, nor seen the fate that befell Zidane when he tried to outsmart Fou-Lu. So send in a writeup today, and help make the site a better place! Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes! YES! Mwahahahaha! Well, looks like you're off to a good start. Hopefully things will go better than they did for you last season. ...3 divisions lower... It's not the division that counts, it's what you do in it! Plus, have you seen this Light field? ...Maybe Ellen will be able to do better, I don't know. Maybe you too will enjoy a magificent DL championship! It's lonely at the top. Bah, shut up, the both of you. Yeah! Maybe if you spent less time flapping your gums/sea mouth we could get started earlier, hmm? Yeah! Alright, quit it. Man, I'm sorry I even brought it up. Yeah! Odin? Yeah? Shut up before I put you back in the box. ...yeah... I dunno. I kind of liked having our own persona Norse chorus. Are you deaf? That stops being anything but annoying twelve seconds in. Tell me about it. Ahem. Right right right. It's time for the usual antics at Behind the Scenes, readers! And with our second round of eliminations just a few mouse clicks away, there's plenty to talk about! On that note, welcome our next guests, a silent hero and Elc! ... I don't know what's more insulting, fighting a 12 year old boy or only being on the show to do such a stupid joke. Probably being from Arc the Lad 2. OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH! If you weren't fire-inclined, you probably would have just burst into flames right now. I'd attack you for that, but considering my game's battle system we'd be here all day. In lieu of that, since you're the only one here who is in possession of vocal chords, tell us your view of the match. Check it: Invincible spam. How thrilling. It works, doesn't it? Well, until you run out of juice that is. And you happen to be fighting someone who could probably outlast a tank. ... Meh. We'll see about that. Well, Ness, since you don't have anything to say... ... ...I have no idea why I keep expecting something to happen when I do that. Alright, thanks for coming, you're dismissed, etc. No, you're dismissed! Because your game is...not that good and...you're...bad at...stuff. WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Elc with the comeback! Nicely done! Really? No. Get out. Well then. Now I just feel kind of sad. Well, come on out, Dyrst and Berserk. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! AHAHAHAHAHHA! Now I feel marginally better. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA! AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! Uh, fellas... HAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHA..HAH...HA.....huff ...AHAHAHAAH! I WIN! No fair! You don't even really need to breathe! That wasn't part of the bet! Bah! Filgaia will pay for its insolence. I swear! ...what? Oh, Chisato. Maniacal Laughter contest. Dryst owes me twelve Salamanders. Do not! Settle this later. Talk about the match! Tch. Fine. Meteor Doom, Meteor Doom, maybe a stat buff or two. Satisfied? Even easier for me. I just smash things into tiny bits. Or so you claim. Fine. 100 Salamanders. It's a deal! Easiest monsters I ever made. Time to go TRAIN! What am I even going to do with 100 Salamanders? Maybe Alhazad can use them or something... Oh, I'm sure that'll turn out well. Well, it's like they say, the only thing more unstable than a sociopathic emperor is a bloodthirsty demon. Actually, nobody's ever said that, but... Hello! It's me again! It sure is. Kimahri not take annoyance much longer. Interview, please! Well then. Today we have a freakish, inhuman monstrosity with a huge inferiority complex and absolutely no redeemable characteristics whatsover, and also a Blue Mage! Surely this'll be an exciting match? Every match I'm in is exciting. Though you made a bit of mistake there, lady, I don't use Blue Magic. That's Quina. Kimahri crush puny rat-faced weasel. Nonsense! None can stand up to my impressive dual-bladed knife oar thingy! ... Just let it go, man. Just let it go. I dunno, at least Zidane can do things other than attack without going into Overdirve. Like talk. Point taken. Can I go now? My fanclub awaits. Though BtS is a darker and more depressing place without your presence, I understand. Please go now while my heart can take it. Thanks! I don't know why everybody says you're so mean. Bye! It's...it's like he sucks all the fun out of everything on purpose. Kimahri go buy bleach for brain after match. Get the extra-strong stuff, it seems to work best. Get a few extra bottles, we'll probably need them. As for Light... Hello Ah, back again. Alrighty, time to load out Sarcastic Quip #34323- ...Galaxy Stop. ... Well, now that we can proceed uninterrupted. As you can see, I have a few crafty tricks up my sleeve. So you do, but that's all you have. If you miss, you won't get another chance. And what are you going to do, book me to death? True, my offense is not that great, but your defense isn't all that either. And if Galaxy Stop hits time will be on my side. That's all that will be on your side. Nevertheless, I look forward to our match. If there's nothing else... No, no, that's quite enough. I suppose we should leave before this lot snaps back. Until we meet in the arena. Farewell. ......I know we should have pointed out that we're bosses and are immune to that stuff, but it was honestly too adorable to interrupt. Well, now we know why Olan's in Light, don't we? ....Wait, where'd they go? Who knows? Best not to think of it. The important thing is: They're gone, so BtS is over! The skull's right. Let's shut it down. That's all for this week. I hope you'll be back next week for the 3rd round in Season 46. Until then, goodbye!
