Today's event:

Saturday, August 26th, 7 PM UTC - venue: Ludus Magnus - Roman Gladiator Games 


At 7 PM UTC we will enter the largest gladiatorial school in Rome, Ludus Magnus, and all gates will be locked behind us. Only 1 character per Steam account can participate. Anyone teleporting out of the the arena or logging off and back on, willingly or unwillingly, before the end of the event will forfeit any prizes.

Goal of these games is to test our limits and find out who's the toughest Gladiator today. In order to achieve that, many of us will have to use /eventteleport to return to Rome    because in the end there can be only one left in the Arena. Remember tho that your body cannot be looted and you do not loose any skills on Sklotopolis when dying, so it's all for fun and you have nothing to loose.


After the event Spartacus will hand out the following rewards (1st place is the last one standing, 2nd is the last one to die in the arena, 3rd place the one who died before him and so on....).

1. Last Man Standing and our toughest Gladiator will receive a Dragon Scale Armour ql 90, crafted by Juliuscaesar after the winner chooses the desired color - donated by Snakey
2. Rare Small Axe, Iron, Ql. 92, 97 Nim, 94 LT, 83 CoC + Rare Large Shield, Willow, Ql. 91, 98 BotD - donated by Juliuscaesar
3. Rare Spear, Iron, Ql. 91, 82 Nim, 94 LT, 93 CoC, 80 MS - donated by Juliuscaesar
4. Magical Satchel (shop item) - donated by Meredit
5. Magical Waterskin (shop item) - donated by Meredit
6. Horned Helmet, Steel - donated by Baloo

Please allow 10-20 minutes for official results to be announced here before awards ceremony can begin.

Don't forget to have fun !

Roman Gladiator Games - Aug. 26th - Official Results

Was Xmas in the summer last evening in Rome. Contruction of the Colossus of Spartacus, now guarding Ludus Magnus, was finished with only a few hours left before the announced starting time of the Gladiator Games. Shortly after, Snakey, one of the builders, managed to turn the Colossus rare. We had the privilege to have Dominikk as the MC last night and soon after his arrival Xmas lights appeared on Rome's skies.



15 gladiators entered (some reluctantly, it's true) the arena and all the gates were soon locked. - [19:01:42] You lock the gate.

Tensions were high while they were standing in the arena unsure about what would happen next. They all tried to deal with stress in their own way - [19:05:23] Skalops looks for something on the ground; [19:08:21] Vitez starts to spin his yoyo; [19:08:21] Eviljarod presses a short sword close to his chest.

The Goths, members of a Germanic people who for centuries harassed the Roman Empire, were the first to enter the arena. Disguised as deathcrawlers they hesitated for a moment facing the Gladiators. It was a fatal mistake as the Gladiators, sensing their weakness, charged at them as one.



Gladiators won the fierce battle but not without paying a big price as Cherish, Eviljarod and Windee were slained by the Goths.

The Carthaginians came up next. A lot more aggressive than the Goths, Carthaginians refused the fight initially and chose to cowardly chase the female Gladiators around the arena.



Even Akara, a female gladiator highly relying on speed as she walked inside the arena summarily dressed, could not outrun the Sol Demons from Carthage - [19:25:20] Akara slain by adolescent Carthaginian, adolescent Carthaginian, mature Carthaginian, aged Carthaginian, Defeated Foe #1, Defeated Foe #2, venerable Carthaginian, aged Carthaginian, venerable Carthaginian, old Carthaginian, Defeated Foe #3, Defeated Foe #4, Defeated Foe #5, aged Carthaginian, aged Carthaginian, aged Carthaginian, aged Carthaginian, Defeated Foe #6, mature Carthaginian, mature Carthaginian, aged Carthaginian, aged Carthaginian, aged Carthaginian, venerable Carthaginian

Gladiators defeated the Carthaginians but they didn't have any time to mourn Akara because Gauls stormed into the arena.



Death tab started flashing constantly as Gladiators, although they were giving their best, were severely outnumbered by the Gaul Nogumps. In only 3 minutes Dordain, Juliuscaesar, Ladyrebel, Vitez, Noxi, Dweia, Casey, Skalops, Baloo and Snakey joined (in this order) the ranks of the glorious Gladiators who fell in the arena with a weapon in their hands (or in Akara's case with the sneakers on her feet, same difference).

Lolabelle found herself alone in the arena. The Roman Emperor's gesture indicated that her life was to be spared and Spartacus rushed to unlock the gates. It was the moment when the insanely ruthless Gaul Nogumps rushed towards the standings to kill inocent spectators.



All fallen gladiators re-entered the arena (cuz hey, this is Sklotopolis where your corpse cannot be looted on someone's deed on Liberty, there is no skill loss upon death and with /eventteleport available you're back in action in no time) and helped out cleaning up the arena of the remaining Gaul Nogumps.

Everyone present has also received either a ql 70+ Gladius (adamantine) or a ql 70+ Spatha (seryll) - there was an equal number of these swords in the distribution box so chances were 50/50. In addition our champion gladiator Lolabelle has received a ql 90 Spatha made of glimmersteel.



Wiki Legend:

Gladius is a Latin word properly referring to the type of sword that was used by ancient Roman foot soldiers starting from the 3rd century BC and until the 3rd century AD.
Spatha was a type of straight and long sword in use in the territory of the Roman Empire during the 1st to 6th centuries AD and it was used in war and in gladiatorial fights.


My dragon scale armour jacket had 35+ damage at the end but it was FUN ! Thank you all for participating, thank you Dom for taking the time to give life to my crazy event (amazing job!), thank you Elfin for taking the pictures and thank you all who donated items to reward the brave gladiators!
