I did no think about gauntlets.
Just post them here with the basic stuff (like weights) and if something is unclear, I can ask.

This was going to be a gauntlet for a pack of Utahraptors; each is 500 kg and the number of Utahraptors increases with each round. The pack also goes back to full strength after each round
Round 1:
1-on-1, Nile crocodile, 527 kg, land
Round 2:
2-on-1, Titanoboa, 1.2 tons, land
Round 3:
3-on-1, Majungasaurus, 1.3 tons
Round 4:
4-on-5, 5 Smilodon populators, 290 kg each
Round 5:
5-on-1, Daspletosaurus, 2.8 tons
Round 6:
8-on-1, woolly mammoth, 6 tons
Round 7:
8-on-1, Paraceratherium, 11 tons
Round 8:
8-on-1, Elasmotherium, 5 tons
Round 9:
12-on-1, American mastodon, 11 tons
Round 10:
12-on-1, Purussaurus, 8 tons, land
Round 11:
12-on-1, Tyrannosaurus rex, 7 tons
Round 12:
15-on-1, Mapusaurus, 8.5 tons
How does that sound?

I really like the idea, though the enemies are becoming a bit insurmountable from round 6 on (I mean, a Utahraptor pride against a mastodon of that size would be a bit like a slightly better armed lion pride against a 5 t elephant, for example). I'm also not sure why you think the carnivores will be that much harder than the herbivores. At these size disparities, it doesn't matter whether you're bitten by a jaw or hit by a trunk, dead is dead.
I'm not sure how to evaluate gauntlets, since even with mismatches, they can provoke engaging discussions. Plus, I'm generally more lenient on creative matches. I think a bit more Utah's for the matches involving the big herbivores and you're fine (even if you think they're weaker than the carnivores, they aren't the end bosses for a reason).

More have been added, maybe that'll work.
I was a bit conservative however because 6 Utahs were favored over a 22 ton elephant on Carnivora before the thread was deleted and 4-on-1 on the old site with a woolly mammoth some called a mismatch, but hey it is a gauntlet! Let's see how it turns out.

Would I have permission to make 5 Gustaves vs Pete 3? I know there is a similar thread in AvA, but in this one the weights are EXACTLY equal on both sides, and Gustave is not your ordinary Nile crocodile.
But if that does not work, do I have permission to make African bullfrog vs Torvosaurus or Majungasaurus at similar sizes? As far as I know there are no frogs and macropredatory theropods with overlapping sizes

Why don't you request a battle Royale with a Gustav?

As far as I know there are no frogs and macropredatory theropods with overlapping sizes I was undecided on the first idea at first. It is almost exactly the same as the Daspletosaurus vs 5 nile crocodiles thread (and given that this was without responses, a very similar thread might have the same problem), but it would be an excellent opportunity to showcase Pete 3 in a matchup. On the other hand, as oldgreengrolar offered, he could just write a battle royale with the 5 Gustaves and Pete 3 which would give you almost the same opportunity. The frog vs theropod thread on the other hand sounds like an excellent idea. Unfortunately, I can't yet tell which size ratio is right, you'll have to figure that out yourself, but it sounds excellent. |

It seems we misunderstood. I thought oldgreengrolar offered you to write a vs scenario including the animals you mentioned, but that seems not to be what you want.
In that case, just go ahead and make the thread you originally wanted (5 Gustaves vs Pete 3). I think the unique "characters" involved kinda justify it.

You're right about the misunderstanding. That's not what I was getting at either (thought it is a good idea)......
I probably should have been more clear on this, but what I actually had in mind was a battle royale from oldgreengrolar with large theropods and crocodiles (with things like Carcharodontosaurus, Purussaurus, and Spinosaurus, but with the 5 Gustaves and Pete 3 added in), and wanted to know, do we have to run the intended characters by here with the weights?

Ah, no. Oldgreengrolar can write whatever he and everyone else here want.

Would I be able to make Elasmotherium vs great white shark at parity in a neutral environment?
(sorry if there are too many requests, but I've got lots of ideas lately)

Most of them are rather creative (albeit bizarre), so the frequency is not bas in and of itself. You should add more clarification though such as how we can imagine a neutral environment or what assumptions we make during those parity matches. If you can do that with this match, go ahead.

If you want many matchups, just make sure you make a significant contribution to said many matchups.

I can make size charts, and post my opinion. How is that?
