Drew this at an earlier con as a commission for Ash of Pixelated Toaster. It is framed on her wall.

So if one contestant is a Chou-Daemon, and the other is a possessed toaster, is any of this legal?
>Lothar
Of course it’s not legal. What are you, stutid?
this is LOTHAR we’re talking about, that sums it up
Depends, is anyone from the local PD/Inquisition on hand?
my money are on Blasphemy, though it will be a tough fight
Where the Hell has the bloody cute corrupted chocobo been!? This is hilarious!
Chocobo? I think you’re mixing up your game worlds.
That’s amazing I want to see this actually play out
I’ve got a 20 on Blasphemy!
I’m betting that Lothar rigged the fight. Blasphemy is going to lose on purpose.
Depends..what’s the current odds? 8 to 3 on Blasphemy?
(drops 50 on the Toaster)
Yarrr! 50 doubloons on the short one.
They’re both short, though looking at the image the toaster is shorter by a slight degree. Are you sure you mean ‘toaster’? I mean, Blasphemy’s pretty tough…
TOASTER TOASTER TOASTER WOOHOO !!
Remember ! “A toaster is just a death ray with a smaller power supply!” ! Tap into the Void energies and burn the world !
I’d bet Blasphemy, who has killed some very large demons, over the toaster, who has frequently been subdued by mortals without the use of firearms.
At first I was like “All of the money on Blasphemy!” but then I remembered that this is being run by Lothar, it’s definitly fixed.
I say Blasphemy because, well… hasn’t the toaster demon already been exorcized from other toasters before, and just gone into new ones afterwards? Not a good track record there.
Actually, the toaster’s ability to jump into new hosts may be an advantage. Especially if there is an ‘empty’ toaster near by.
Or several.
Putting my money on the toaster. Not because I think it’d beat Blasphemy but, as others have pointed out, this is being run by Lothar and is therefore definitely fixed.
Hmm….on the other hand, he’s a sly echidna…the toaster can just be resummoned and he might expect us to expect the fight to be rigged in the toaster’s favour…
I got 100 on the psychotic chao
I put 20 on Blasphemy mauling Lothar one the pit fight is over.
nah, the two of them are pals. I see em splitting the profits :P
I see neither of them actually winning somehow, and lothar pocketing all the money and splitting it with the chao. Otherwise the chao would totally win
Um…do you accept Arcadian currencies? If so…choose which one you can accept…
*holds out $5, 5 Mushroom Kingdom Crowns, 500 Mobiums, 10 Rupee, a 500 Zenny chit, 500 Pokéyen, 100 Bolts, 5 Lylat credits, 500 gil, 5 gold from Stornway, and 500 Munny*
Put one of these on Blasphemy. Each currency group is equal in amount.
I’ll see your $5, 5 Mushroom Kingdom Crowns, 500 Mobiums, 10 Rupee, a 500 Zenny chit, 500 Pokéyen, 100 Bolts, 5 Lylat credits, 500 gil, 5 gold from Stornway, and 500 Munny*, and raise you 1000 Republic credits, 500 Zux, 50 Bits, 100 Emeralds, 500 Throne Gelt, and a torn leaf that brought my parents together.
o.O? A Republic Credit is only half a cent in value?!? Emeralds are only 50 cents each?!? Bits are 10 cents each?!? Wow…
See…I was trying to say $5 = 5 Mushroom Kingdom Crowns = 500 Mobiums = 10 Rupee = 500 Zenny = 500 Pokéyen = 100 Bolts = 5 Lylat Credits = 500 gil = 5 Stornway Gold (Gold piece from Dragon Quest series) = 500 Munny. Guess that wasn’t made clear enough…my bad!
And the torn leaf could buy a whole space station given what it was used for.
Oh I got it, I just didn’t feel like going through the math and made what I thought might be appropriate guesses.
-I’m sure the Galactic Republic has seen some stints of REALLY bad economies before
-Exchage rates for Imperial Thrones can vary from planet to planet
-Zux are a currency only found on planet Lagend (http://latchkeykingdom.com/), and the author adamantly refuses to provide a valid exchange rate from Z to $.
I do know, however, that:
-1 or 2 Emeralds will get you 3 or 4 loaves of bread in Minecraft
-2 bits will get you a cherry (Unless you’re a REALLY bad haggler)
-Just watch the Doctor Who episode “Rings of Akhatan” for the leaf, which would be worth FAR more than 5 $
Actually, I saw the math done on another message board. A Bit actually equates to between $4.75-$5.50, depending on the situation. Since a haircut at a cost cutters or other such place would be around $10, a “shave and a haircut – two bits” sounds feasable. The reason that one character was selling a cherry for 2 Bits was he was being a moneygrubbing douchenozzle at the time and trying to rip off Fluttershy. (Think Moneybags from the Spyro series.)
Hmmm…loaves of bread are around $1.75 last I checked, so a good estimate would probably be $3.50 for the emerald if 2 emerald = 4 loaves of bread. So…you can use an emerald to pay off the Loch Ness Monster. (Bonus points if you know what I’m referencing.)
*sudden realization* BOY, did this go off on a tangent…
What can I get for a Flomeranian Pobble bead?
A swift kick in the nutsack if you don’t explain yourself this instant.
Actually, in that episode he RAISED the price from 2 to 10 bits when he was being a moneygrubbing douchenozzle. Apparently, 2 bits isn’t a very inflated price for a cherry.
Though, you seem to be doing your research, so I won’t press the issue.
Well…it might have been more moneygrubbing since a single bit could buy a pack of asparagus there, which is definitely worth more than a single cherry. But, we’ll leave it be.
Though I am ALSO kind of wondering what a Flomeranian Pobble Bead is. A Google search brought up Pomeranian Poodles hybrids.
Of course this is rigged. Whichever contender has the larger amount of bets, will be the one to lose.
Does really matter if it’s rigged or not? I can’t speak for everyone, but I’d pay to see this fight even knowing it’s rigged. Lothar is obviously missing his calling as a fight promoter.
I’ve been wondering something for a while now, WAAAY back when Lothar was dressed up as Wolverine for that Halloween page (Claws go in, Claws go out) the claws were on his non-bionic hand… sooo were the claws like built into the glove and spring-loaded like the assassin’s hidden blade orrr what?
YAY FOR BLASPHEMY! !!! Too bad it’s just filler. I wanna see him again.
Also, I can so see lothar doing that
