BYOB???

What?? Good heavens, no! We sell at higher prices, of course! And I'm talking baseball stadium prices, here. This is a public event, after all.

At those prices, it'll be better for my beer drinking friends just to buy some beer bellies

The hilarity of innovation to save a buck will never cease to amaze me

That's phenomenal. Absolute and sheer brilliance. On a business note, though, remind me to check for those as we're selling our prices.

Of course- as long as you also check people for bread when they come in so they can't make their own sammiches.

Well, of course, since we'll also be selling sammiches. And fruit. And booze. In fact, no sneaking anything in.

Except videocameras. I'd hate to deprive them of the chance to relive such an experience.

Actually- nevermind. We'll RENT OUT cameras and tape! We'll be rich!

Now you're catching on! We'll make a swindler of you yet!

I do believe we already have my good man.

Now. Here's our next step. We tell them that the duel is getting MUCH TOO DANGEROUS for them about half way through- and force them to rent stab proof vests or they have to move to the lesser hillside seats. Not wanting to have wasted their money buying duel side- they'll shell out even more for the vests.

Now now, we want to maintain our audience, not become EA. We'll offer the core experiences, and the necessary expansions, but we don't want to isolate our audience for retards. The Duel-attending crowd is one we respect, and one we want to return to the next duel, not be scared off because of insane money hoggers.

No, we'll let them keep their sideline views, at normal rates, and they'll buy our foods, and our drinks. They'll pay for little duel merchandise, tiny guns, foam swords, our famous "Greatest Duel Insults and Jeers vol. 4!" CD's, and replica slap gloves, that they may challenge their friends when they've had a bit too much of our wonderful booze. But they won't pay to change their seats to somewhere less advantageous. Asking that of them is asking too much, for no reason at all. For that is the essence of a good swindle, that you get them to keep coming back, to be swindled again and again.

You truly are a master sir!

Perhaps we can get Petey from Unforgotten Realms to make an appearance and duel the winner. He IS a champion.

Yes, yes She certainly is. Hmm...guest cameos from famous celeb's...Maybe not on the first event. We need to wait at least...five? Yeah, five events sounds good, and then we could bring in some famous faces.

And my flattery does go a good way, doesn't it?

Yes. Then, why stop at Escapist champions? We could bring in Bendak StarKiller from KotOR 1. Or some of the bosses from Swords and Sandals 2.

Once we have the necessary funds- we'll build a stadium and have special box seats. That way we can charge even more.

Special box seats yes, those are good. But stadiums...which design should we go with? Coliseum? Football stadium? Baseball? Standard Ampitheater? Any thougths?

Perfect replica of the Roman Colosseum. We could charge even more for the novelties of staging duels in that thing.

Perfect Replica...yes...this could work...Though all the plumbing will have to be revised, for modern standards. And the ability to flood the arena will provide a double use as well--a skating ring in the winter, admittedly one of massive proportion. Also, hot dogs. We'll need plenty of hot dogs to dole out to people.

We should also have something similar to an open mic night. Except with gladiator fighting.

Can't you see it?

Step into our suit of armor, and pick up our sword and see if you've got big enough balls to be a real life GLADIATOR!!!!

$100 to compete. Winner gets $150. We pocket $50, and we can still charge admission

Good, good, now we're definitely on the right track. But who says we limit it to one on one? I'm thinking somewhere in the ballpark of...five man free for all?
