Revision as of 00:56, 23 February 2015
Click here to nominate or vote for fights to be held in the DNC in the future.
Uwee hee hee hee! Welcome, editors, to the Dragon's Neck Colosseum! My name is Ultros the receptionist, and I'm taking bets as to who will win in a tussle between two characters from the Final Fantasy series! The winner gets, well, nothing. It's more of a poll, really. The Colosseum owner stuck me on this duty after Kefka was defeated, but I need the money! So what are you waiting for? Get voting! Remember, you can remain anonymous!
DNC Moderators
The DNC is run by committee. If you have any questions regarding DNC rules, please contact one of the following people: ScatheMote, Jimcloud, and Some Color Mage. TacticAngel will also help in areas of policy or if somehow all other members of the committee are unavailable. The committee members will take care of changing the fights, archiving older fights, and maintaining the nominations page. Please do not change the format of this page or change the fight without permission.
The Rules, Briefly
Functionally, this is a popularity contest. You may vote for your favorite or whom you think would win in an competition between the two combatants that week. Failure to comply with these rules will likely result in your vote being removed up to being banned from participating in future fights.
You may vote only once.
If you are a user, please include your vote in the user section. If you are not logged in when you vote as a user, your vote will be removed.
If you are not a user, please include your vote in the anonymous section.
To vote, type the following "#~~~~", afterward including any reasons for voting you may wish to include. You are required to leave this whether you are logged in or anonymous. If you do not sign and timestamp your vote, it will be removed.
Add your votes to the bottom of the list. Please do not post anything obnoxious and/or extraordinarily lengthy or it will be removed. Lengthy votes will be moved to the peanut gallery, whereas obnoxious votes can be removed if two thirds of the panel agree upon it.
If you wish to comment on the fight, please leave your remarks in the peanut gallery. You are expected to conduct yourself with courtesy. Comments must relate to the fight at hand.
Any failure to adhere to these rules will result in your vote(s) being removed.
Last Man Standing
Last Man Standing is a spinoff of the original Dragon's Neck Colosseum. It is a fight between the previous victor of Last Man Standing and victor of the previous DNC fight. It occurs every other week; in other terms, it happens when the normal DNC fights are not going on. It has the same rules as the normal fights, with a few exceptions:
If the two opponents tie, the both characters will be retired, and two new fighters will appear.
If a character wins 5 Last Man Standing fights in a row, he or she will be retired from LMS and two new battlers will vie for the coveted champion spot.
Sometimes a previous Last Man Standing champion may be revived to fight against the current champion. This will happen if the previous DNC winner is incompatible with LMS (i.e. if the previous winner was a game mechanic, a summon, or an enemy) or for special celebrations.
I know about this Edea than the other one... Crashb2007 (talk) 00:34, February 17, 2015 (UTC)
Meh. Edea Lee would most likely be one of the characters I like least in BD anyway. Gotta respect someone who took precautions to take herself out due to shenanigans she knew the consequences of them.--AnonyMan (talk) 12:14, February 19, 2015 (UTC)

I don't want a Sorceress who is possessed by a being who wants to achieve time compression anywhere near me, thank you very much. I would much rather have Beetlejuice than her... The other Edea would be cool though (All the shopping trips we could go on! :D ) TMG- Why? (talk) 11:42, February 17, 2015 (UTC)
Well, if you're assuming I meant that Edea, she got better. But, uh, I'm not a big fan of any VIII characters except for Laguna. And if you say his name three times, he doesn't show up, you just turn into a moomba. -- SomeColorMage~(Talk) 08:36, February 18, 2015 (UTC)
Week 336: Last Man Or Rock Standing Round 84: Galuf vs. A Rock
CHAMPION GALUF HALM BALDESION FINAL FANTASY V DEFEAT 15-8
LAST MAN STANDING
CHALLENGER A ROCK (not Ramza) FINAL FANTASY TACTICS + ASSORTED VICTORY 15-8
Okay, let me try and explain this. ... Okay, deep breaths. Breathe in. Breathe out. Okay. You see... *snrrrrrk* oh God, this is hard. Um.
Right. So, our noble hero, king of Bal, Galuf, has defeated every opponent we've set against him so far in a display of unparalleled brutality. The gore was too much. So in response, we've pitted him against a common rock. Because, you see... you can't get blood from a stone.

I really would like to vote for the rock, but as a tree, Exdeath is probably a Grass-Type, so he would have an edge over Rock-Types. I don't think that poor rock would have lasted as long as Galuf did. MetroSubwayAndroid (talk) 19:57, February 11, 2015 (UTC)

Week 335: Throw the White Mage a Bone Week: Rosa vs. a Rock
VICTOR A Rock 12½ to 10
I was looking through the nominations archive and noticed a pattern with nominations involving Rosa. You see, the wiki's biggest Rosa fanboy would always vote against the fights, because he was so convinced Rosa would lose he could only express his pre-emptive disappointment in the form of rejection votes and text walls.
So I thought we should try to have a fight that Rosa would win. After a long, hard session of inward reflection, I figured the only thing with less character than Rosa is an inanimate rock. So, we're going to pit Rosa against one and finally give her the victory she deserves! Right? ...riiiiight?
*sigh* You're all going to vote for the rock, aren't you?
VICTOR A Rock 12½ to 10
Votes for Rosa
I don't hate Rosa FëasindëPeth 01:46, January 26, 2015 (UTC)'
although i'm tempted to vote rcok because the power of rock is the most powerful power, Rosa is more than just a mineral. Hexed 01:58, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
She doesn't have much personality and doesn't talk much but she's sexy.... oh wait... isn't that the woman in every man's dream? Monterossa (talk) 11:42, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
I am not stooping that low... Crashb2007 (talk) 16:09, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
Whilst the Rock is probably a fan of the Rolling Stones (making the rock awesome), I am gonna vote for Rosa. TMG- Why? (talk) 16:45, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
While Rosa isn't a great character she isn't as terrible as everyone makes her out to be. --Ffgamesftw (talk) 02:36, January 30, 2015 (UTC)
Vote for Tom and Boulder, who are far more interesting characters. Drake Clawfang (talk) 01:43, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
Beautiful, stylish, and sexy. Cecil went so wrong when he dumped Rock. --BlueHighwindツ 01:51, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
One of these two is a useless inanimate thing that relies on others to help it perform the most basic of tasks. The other one is the rock. Jimcloud 02:46, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
The most important character in Final Fantasy Tactics. CATUSE 03:13, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
Rock's awesome as hell. Dem jagged edges, dat forcing people to do its bidding with Throw Stone. AnonyMan (talk) 03:28, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

Rosa certainly isn't unpleasant, but when liking Cecil is your defining personality trait, that doesn't make for a very rock-solid character. MetroSubwayAndroid (talk) 16:28, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

Blue, I think you got it backwards, amigo. Rock dumped Cecil, it was too much mineral for his broke ass. So he went and settled for the Bronze. AnonyMan (talk) 03:36, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
So question, if the rock wins in this fight will the rock be fighting in LMS? Could have a corny fight description "will he rock galuf or will galuf leave no stone unturned?" --Ffgamesftw (talk) 02:38, January 30, 2015 (UTC)
Well I've done two fights in a row now, so if rock gets to go on to become LMS champion or not isn't my call to make. -- SomeColorMage~(Talk) 04:15, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

Week 334: Last (Old Dead) Man Standing Round 83: Galuf vs. Louisoix
Template:Cropped Image
CHAMPION GALUF HALM BALDESION FINAL FANTASY V VICTORY 12 to 6
LAST MAN STANDING
CHALLENGER LOUISOIX LEVEILLEUR FINAL FANTASY XIV DEFEAT 12 to 6
So this week we let our victor from last week, Catuse, choose who he wanted to see take on the Warrior of Dawn, and he selected the leader of the Circle of Knowing. And there's a lot of similarities between the two. They're both old, seem to have a penchant for gold lining on their armor, and both went out in a pretty awesome blaze of glory. And now they're here, fighting, because, well, why not.

Two reasons 1) An attempt to make the fight less one sided. 2) Galuf? Fighting a tree? So last year. Fighting a hella big badass dragon, dying and then [SPOILER] is the latest trend! TMG- Why? (talk) 07:05, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

I promised to put Louisoix's (and the rest of XIV 1.x, let's be honest here) big scene in the description somewhere, but couldn't think of anywhere that wouldn't feel shoehorned so here you go. -- SomeColorMage~(Talk) 23:24, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
Dear those of you who are calling Galuf "The Badass Grandpa", you are implying that Louisoix does not also havea claim on the title, which is blatantly false. Thank you for your patronage. Jimcloud 23:56, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
Today's DNC is a very special week. Indeed, instead of having a fight (because there has been one nomination in three months and I, while amazing, beautiful, and brilliant, cannot continue spit out interesting fights every two weeks; seriously, go nominate new fights for me to do), we shall have a different kind of DNC this week. I ask but one simple task: please write me either evocative poetry or prose about the handsomeness of Ultros. Indeed, this week you are competing the DNC for a super special fabulous prize (judged by my compatriot in madness Jimcloud). This is a limited time to win both honor and fantastic riches, so you'd better deliver.
So evoke some tentacles with the beauty of your words! Also please nominate some fights while you're at it.
VICTOR Ultros (And Catuse167, but mostly Ultros)
Evocative Ultros Poetry or Prose Below
I'm not sure if this counts as poetry (it would be iambic pentameter, since that's the only common poetic form I know that isn't a haiku, if I could be bothered to figure out stressing, so I guess it's just ... decameter?), but here's mine:
So I'm trash at poetry, and all I can come with is haiku >>; This is for everyone who, like me, has failed miserably at the Dragon's Neck in FFXIV too many times...
I would flood this with dirty limericks, however I'm pretty sure Ultros is not from Nantucket, and lying in a limerick is the ultimate sin. -- SomeColorMage~(Talk) 05:00, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

By the way, the prize is probably going to be (assuming we don't come up with a better idea) deciding who's the next LMS challenger, so people who aren't IRC regulars should probably note who they want to nominate somewhere. -- SomeColorMage~(Talk) 21:31, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

You can find older fights in the Archives for the Dragon's Neck Colosseum. All of these fights are closed, so don't bother voting. All new votes will be removed. Each archive contains 10 weeks of different fights.
