Gorillamania is runnin' wild - again! Rescheduled: Time - TBD

It's time once again for some gorilla fighting mayhem! Come on down Friday the 15th to the Gorilla Fightin' Arena Located high atop the friendly confines of the Overlook Casino. Possibly a few exhibition fights first to warm up the crowd, then we do the first ever King of the Jungle tournament to crown a new champion! Our former champion, Apeshit, had an unfortunate accident which left him unable to defend his title, it appeared he uh, walked into a flamestrike because Paddy needed room in the stable. HOWEVER, Apeshit has decided to come out of retirement and make his Rocky III-esque comeback and may make an appearance.

The exact time of the event will be sometime friday afternoon but will be determined closer to the event (it won't interfere with the Friday Night FIghts event, will be earlier than that). Can't make it, no problem! Train up a gorilla anyway, and one of our handlers can enter it into the fight on your behalf. I'll see if I can get a trophy created for the winner of the tournament when I decide what to officially call it, and the winner will probably get a cash prize. Gorillas don't require any "real" taming skill so anyone can train one even though it might take a while. Post here with your gorilla's profile page and closer to the event they will be put into a bracket. The more gorillas, the better! Only one gorilla per person though, please. Start training your gorillas for their UGF debut!

reserved for gorilla stuff!

No babies allowed on the area.

Actual babies or man-babies?

ALL TEH BABIES!

Can your gorilla hold a small weapon such as a club or small blade?
He can hold a banana if that's what you mean...

Looking forward to this! Count me and *insert witty gorilla name* in!

would be funny to see two gorillas have a knife fight though!

only if it's a knife fight like in the "Beat It" video.

Anita Sarkeesian will be training up a gorilla as well!

Gorilla bump! Post here with the links to your gorilla profile so I know how many gorillas will be in the tournament. Don't worry if you aren't finished training them yet, I just need to know how many gorillas there will be. Time still to be determined, but if you could, try to have your gorilla in by Wednesday afternoon so I can start setting up the brackets. Thanks and get to training those gorillas!

Saturday or Sunday is better for me

I won't be able to move it because I have stuff going on those days or I would have done Saturday most likely. However, someone can fight your gorilla on your behalf or I can enter it in against another gorilla.

I can't choose a name for my gorilla. this is surprisingly difficult (his entrance theme, of course, is "Jungle Boogie")

The name i had on reserve i now bestoweth to thee....

Aperaham Lincoln.

The only I would be interested in that if there was a strict no-bonded rule. All gorillas die forever

I'd imagine most people would just have an un-bonded gorilla, but I wouldn't see the problem in having one, they'd get statloss upon death too.

Skill loss.. take 30 min to train a gorilla back up.

Well, have a fun event.

but that makes for good comeback stories!

MARCEL!

I disapprove of all this arming and training of monkeys business. Soon they will overthrow us humans and you'll go running to Telamon to fix your ape problem. I will protest this event (if I'm around to make it)!!!!!!!

@bart simpson, Caesar. You should name your gorilla Caesar.

Going with AperilOneal for now...
