(no subject)
Alright, guys, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm one of the refs at the coliseum now. I've gone ahead and taken the liberty of writing down all some of the rules of combat, as well as a few of my own design.
Official Rules for the Memento Eden Coliseum
#1. All fights in the coliseum are conducted with weapons issued by coliseum staff. They are designed for non-lethal combat, but they still hurt.
#2. We are in the process of developing a dampening field that will allow combatants to fight on even-footing. We hope to roll this out shortly.
#3. All fighters hired by the coliseum agree that the coliseum is not liable for any breaks, contusions, mortal injury, cuts, wounds, bone fragmentation, disease, food poisoning, malnourishment, or untimely death that may result in their participation in the fights. Healers are always on standby during fights to ensure damage is minimized so most of these should not be an issue.
#4. An arena may be rented for use in exhibition matches or other performances (rock concerts, plays, what have you) for $400. Once developed, the power dampening field is optional upon rental, the price does not change whether it is requested or not. Weapons can be included in the rental if desired. Renting an exhibition arena absolves the coliseum from liability for any injuries and/or death they may suffer. If the dampening field is deactivated, you may be charged for damages to the coliseum.
Simmons' Rules for the Memento Eden Coliseum
#1. Contestants must read and sign a fifty-page liability notice before entry. Skipping to the end and signing your name will result in immediate disqualification.

#3. Pets are not allowed in the coliseum.
#4. Underage residents are not allowed in the coliseum.
#5. Underage pets are not allowed in the coliseum.
#6. There is no drinking in the coliseum.
#7. There is no smoking in the coliseum.
#8. There is no eating in the coliseum.
#9. There is no drinking in the coliseum. (That last one was for alcohol, this is for everything else.)
#10. Grif is not allowed in the coliseum.
#11. Grif's family and friends are not allowed in the coliseum.
#12. Anyone who has spoken to Grif in a manner that was not disparaging and/or insulting is not allowed in the coliseum...

I'm really proud of that last one.
