 And that's 20. I'll be writing them during Thorn's Life. I can't wait for the Large Sector because I have big plans for that (and not just the competitors).

I jsut figured it'd mix things up a bit. Let's say Torosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Iguanodon. I think those 3 are pretty good. The size range needed, good variety, and they all have weapons of some sort.

I find carnivore vs carnivore the easiest to write. They are fairly easy, I know plenty about them, a can have a real good fight, and a lack of requests for herbivores (Mostly the first three). I could throw in a few herbivores, I'm up to 17 competitors, and I'd like 20, so any three dinosaurs you want.

Cool. I have to ask one question though. Why no herbivores? Siats vs Torosaurus for example. Or Stegosaurus vs Daspletosaurus. Stuff like that.

Keep in mind that the Rex and Spino from JP3 weren't full grown

Ok, so the Dinosaur version of Carnotaurus was the size of a very old T.rex or Giganotosaurus.

But a fight between it and a V.rex would be crazy!

I found size comparison of them, I forgot to put:

Moreover, for those who do not know, Vastatosaurus is slightly smarter than T-Rex.

Seeing this comparison, I imagine a fight of Carnotaurus from Disney and Vastatosaurus.

Rex Fan, I did read about that, and that instead of an Iguanodon, a Styracosaurus was supposed to be the main protagonist.  As well, the plot was supposed to be much darker and more violent, with it's conclusion incorporating the extinction of all the dinosaurs.

Good chapter.

Yep. It's the closer version to T-rex on this list. ;)

All good points, and yes Carnotaurus was about T-rex sized. T-rex was supposed to be the main villain of Dinosaur, but then Carnotaurus was discovered during the creation of Dinosaur and Disney decided to use Carnotaurus for something different. But they kept the size of T-rex since Carnotaurus is a touch on the small side.

PS- I like V-Rex the best.

I was waiting to see what people thought before including Torvo and Map, they are added, as have Siats and Suchomimus.

It's actually one of, if not, my strongest subjects.

Great job with the cliffhanger again.

That's cool Mr Happy, no worries.

Math is just a pain in the neck to be honest, but it's here to stay, so...

Alright, my memory is terrible sometimes (five chapters in, I forget stuff). Still good job, and I really enjoyed it. Also, my math is a tad off (I have math next semester, not this one, so I haven't had to do math since June).

DinoSteve93 JPOG is really good i just like to sent all the carnivores after the visitors after getting rid of the centers.

So true Mr Happy, so true.

I'm a big fan of this game. Our other players neccessary, or is it just a plus?

I know, but he would have been screwed if he wasn't.

Thanks for the support!

Actually Mr Happy, I stated that in Chapter 1 that Hades was 6.5 tons, and in Chapter 2 that Tytus was 7 tons.  So using subtraction, Poppeaea actually weighed 6.5 tons, the same as Hades.

MrHappy, King Kong had one great, technical advantage over the three V-rexes: being the Star of the movie.

This is more technical stuff, but King Kong is 10 times the sise of a man (that would be 60 feet tall and 2000 pounds if you use an average 6 foot tall 200 pound man as reference), so in theory, he shouldn't have been able to defeat the V-Rex that easily (especially since there were 3). That said, all those were cool.

Good chapter, great cliffhanger at the final point.

So, good job, can't wait for next! :)

Good job, great cliff hanger, I see you took my advice regarding that. My best guess is Hades, but you said he is 6 tons (I think), and you said that Tytus and Poppaea were 13.5 tons combined, so that averages to 6.25 tons each (more likely not that even, Tytus 6.5 tons, Poppaea 6 tons, my guess at least). Good job, great chapter.

T.rex sized?  Sweet.

Quick answer.

And those are indeed a bunch of cool fictitious dinosaurs.

Quick question:  how big do any of you think the Carnotaurus from Dinosaur is when compared to large theropds?  T.rex sized?  Giganotosaurus sized?  Spinosaurus sized?

Oh, don't worry Paden, you don't have to apolagize... I like long stories... that's just loger than I expected. ;)

I have to say JPOG. Yep, I started playing dino-games relatively recent...

Can't wait... definitelly, Siats, Torvo, Sucho and Mapu should make a good fight. And RexFan, you stole my words out of me! :D

All are very good points... and I do agree with you. However, it's my own belief that Nano-T was just a different juvenile Rex. I know the skeletons are "somewhat" different, but, hey, even Tyrannosaurus skeletons all are different between them.

BTW, you don't need to think like me. Even I see that as only a theory, and a not very strong one (in fact, that's how I classify in my mind a Nano-T when I see one: as a juvenile T-rex). But I absolutelly agree with you on all the others!

Cool. I'm all for a long battle/story, but this one was a touch on the long side. But good nonetheless.

It's the same arguement for Nanotyrannus being a young T-rex. Yes, some changes take place as animals grow. But not that big. Especially when it comes to bone/skeletal structures. Fleshy/cartilaginous structures are one thing as they can be "molded" easily. Bone is another.

It may be the other way around, i'll look it up real quick. I knew for sure stgymoloch and Dracorex were included in that debate..not sure if stegoceras was. 

Horners' theory says that Stygimoloch and Dracorex lost their bumps as they aged and traded them for the big dome. I don't believe radical changes occured like this..

Neither do I and most scientists don't think that either. There were enough differences between Triceratops and Torosaurus to classify them as different species(for one thing Triceratops was bigger than Torosaurus, so it seems strange that Horner would believe Triceratops to be the juvenile). The same goes for the pachycephalosaurs. There are enough differences. 

PS- Why did you put a ? next to Stegoceras? Just curious.

yes, the herbivores out numbered the carnivores no doubt. But my main point was Jack Horner seems to think, for example, Torosaurus is just a very grown up triceratops. And stygimoloch and dracorex (stegoceras?) are Juvenile and Sub adult Pacheycephalosaurus. i Just don't believe  this. Sure Hadrosaurs were diverse with many species in North America, with the occasional ankylosaur and Sauropod...but i don't believe There was one Ceratopsian, one pachycephalosaur.

Siats is a good one. Hmm, Megalosaurus perhaps.

First off, I'm one for NanoT being it's own species too.

Second, if you haven't noticed, but over the course of the Mesozoic, there were primarily 3 sizes of meat eating dinosaurs in any given area. Lots of little ones, a few medium ones, and a couple large ones. But when Late Cretaceous North America rolled around, things were very different. There were only 2 sizes of meat eaters. Really big tyrannosaurs, very small raptors(and NanoT), and nothing in between. There were no more jobs for the medium sized meat eaters, because T-rex was basically eating everything.

As far as herbivores go, there were dozens of them. Triceratops, Torosaurus, Styracosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus, Alamosaurus, Pachycephelosaurus, and Stegoceras just to name a few. Just like every healthy ecosystem, the herbivores outnumbered the carnivores.

I think I'm one of the few who liked the Spinosaurus, after all, that must've been an extremely battle-hardy Spinosaurus, since it managed to kill a T.Rex

First of all, i want to say that the bite force of Spinosaurus was anything but pathetic, it was miles away from the bite force of a T.Rex, but it was not something to mess around with, now to the task at hand, i would say that the T.Rex would win about 60-70% of the time
