The pets lost. The Tribbles prevailed.

So yeah, last night I wrote the cats and ponies getting killed by Tribbles, and for the most part everyone understood that I just wrote it with no real malice towards the pets. However, we had to put up with Sine's rage again. Sine, the person who will flip out for me allowing people to fite in my arena and blaming me for what they do. Sine, who values a cat's life over some other people who are permanently dead.

Reminds me of the Lord, who wanted to pretty much enslave the world and strip it of free will, but DON'T HURT CATS!!! For some reason this big ol' villain refused to hurt cats for no good reason then... they are cute? It is probably something more convoluted, like "A cat saved me from drowning in a river when I was younger" or something ridiculous like that. I think we should have sent Nago and Ingo to fite the Lord! He would have just surrendered to them!

So enough about a villain's weaksauce weakness.

Time for writing notes!

Originally, the image of the Tribble Colony appearing and Nago being consumed were supposed to be quickly one after the other, Nago having no chance to defend himself. I didn't like that though when I started writing it, and since Nago was no longer under the spell of the cooing Tribbles, he had no reason to lay down and take it without a fight.

Nago is also the only animal I allowed myself to really kill. I rolled a tractor for which animal would actually die, and the fat cat got it. Silver is some living metal, so the KO against him was hard to imagine. I, at first, tried to draw a horse all dented up with its legs tied together, and I was going to say the Tribbles dented him up so bad he could no longer move, but the Shelby stomp made more sense. He couldn't think with a flat head!

Hey Silver, why the flat face? :P

Ingo was pretty much guaranteed to fall even if the pets won. Its owner didn't give the poor cat a weapon, and I was not going to let that oversight go unpunished. Of course, I didn't want to kill Ingo, so when the tractor favored his survival, I figured a Tribble pile was a simple way to take  the cat out. Just heal his back and he'll be mewing happily in no time!

Shelby had all the advantages she needed to win, but luckily a trip to the Star Trek wiki informed me the Animated Series had things called Tribble Colonies, which looked like a giant Tribble (a Tribble that appears to be much larger than typical size, if you will) but is actually a bunch of regular Tribbles living in symbiosis somehow. That made things seem less easy for Shelby just to trample her foes to death.

Shelby's KO picture is rather gruesome, especially if you don't realize the Tribbles are going in the throat. My brother saw it and called it "A hornless unicorn vomiting up balls". I think I turned him off to the idea of Fite Yer' Mates with that pic XP Not like he'd join Zoofights  though. He's too engrossed in Final Fantasy XI to do anything else with his life.

The Tribbles were introduced to the bar as a little action stimulator one day and so that Sailor would have something to do now that people wouldn't allow him to be dead.  I originally intended for the Tribbles just to be a gag later on, popping out of cupboards when Gezora went to get drinks or playing around in some meal people ordered. They quickly earned Sarah's murderous rage though. You wouldn't think someone so nice would get angry because someone ate her food! I mean, damn! It was funny though XD

I guess now I may still have a few Tribbles pop up every now and then, but they probably will not be seen as a gag like I intended. I think now, animal-wise, I'll just try to focus on Gizmo, who I introduced and haven't done much with because of other engagements.

Tonight is the mech fite though.  Hopefully I won't be late in posting it, because I will be busy from about 1 o'clock until whenever the hell it is done. I'm sure it won't be a problem.

I am a bit disappointed though. Kirby and Lightwing's fite only has two votes, and so far Steel Komodo will be writing Kirby winning, because no one has voted besides two people who picked Kirby. I'm sure someone else will vote... for Kirby, and then Steel Komodo will write and raw a foregone conclusion. I mean sheesh, you give people extra points for Race Yer' Mates and they STILL don't vote!

I'm probably worrying for nothing. I bet voting will pick up after the mech fite is over.

Damn, I write LOOOOONG posts!
