BATTLEGROUND 2025

BATTLEGROUND: THE CAKE WAR RETURNS!

The battle drums sound once more. The warriors gather. The war is upon us! But this is no ordinary war - this is serious business, we battle for CAKE.

On one side, the Light fights for the glorious, heavenly Vanilla (Angel) Cake - pure, radiant, and just a little bit too sweet. On the other, the Dark rises in the name of rich, decadent Chocolate Cake - bold, intense, and possibly a bit too OP.

The rules are simple: Fight for your cake. Punch, kick, strike, elbow, knee—whatever it takes to prove your side’s might! Every move you make earns points for your faction. One rep = one point.

For three days, the war rages on. Allies may turn, spies may switch sides, but in the end, only one cake shall claim victory. And yet, deep down, we all know the truth: it doesn’t matter which side wins, because in the end, we all get cake. Victory is sweet. But participation is even sweeter. Every warrior who steps onto the battlefield earns a special Battleground Badge - a mark of honor for those who dared to fight for their dessert!

So, warriors of DAREBEE - choose your side, ready your strikes, and let’s make this the most legendary cake war yet!


THE BATTLE BEGINS MARCH 22ND.


How It Works

1. Pick Your Side: Light or Dark (update your profile or declare it below).
2. FIGHT. Perform any combat move: punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes, backfists, etc.
3. Earn Points: 1 rep = 1 point for your chosen side.
4. Submit Your Score: Post your reps below and state which side you are contributing points to.
5. Track the Battle: Moderators update the real-time leaderboard every hour on the forum & a public Spreadsheet.
6. Win Together: After 3 days, the side with the most points wins the war!
7. Claim Your Badge: Everyone who participates can claim a special Battleground Badge in their user profile.

• 1 rep = 1 point. No max limit—every strike matters!
• You can switch sides during the event, but past points stay where they were.
• Post your points in the event thread with your total and your chosen side (e.g., "Today: 500 points for the Light!").

Last time we did this we all ended up eating chocolate for 1,000 years. But nothing lasts forever. It was inevitable that the pendulum of the universe would swing back towards the Light. Angel cake FTW! And 60 more points to the Light (meager but it was push-ups and all in one go ).

 

[Scohui]

334 more points for the dark.... although I understand defeat is imminent. A shame. But the Dark will not forget this, and we'll bide our time.

But @Fremen surely the best custard dessert is tiramisu, and cocoa an essential ingredient?

Absolutely yes, a veil

Durn, and I just did 1,500 more punches for the light side. Well. Nice.

 

[AquaMarie]

Well fought, warriors of Light!

Thank you, Darebee team, for a fantastic event!

And @f1shie , fighting evil by moonlight takes caffeine, and that means chocolate

 

[Fremen]

Anyway... if you put some chocolate topping on my cream cake it becomes good for the Dark Side too

 

[Damer]

400 FOR DARK yesterday Not much, but this wolvie will participate.

ETA apparently I was too late, sorry, Dark side... Sniff But let's celebrate with a good vanilla ice cream! @neilarey or @Damer, since those were done yesterday, may I still have a badge or whatever ? (I know, it is stretching it a bit, but who never asks can't get, LOL!)

No effort goes unrewarded!

 

[Saffity]

Dark team you guys did an amazing job! When light took the lead and got nearly 20K ahead, you guys really battled back. Watching the numbers was a lot of fun!

I'll enjoy my Angelfood cake, knowing that next time you'll be back for revenge.

 

[Set Monje]

GGWP
Low Carb diet was conflicted, but also, cake.

 

[Laura Rainbow Dragon]

Well fought everyone!

 

[Syrius]

This was a lot of fun!! I'm looking forward to next time!!

 

[graoumia]

Thanks for this event, congratulations to the winners and to the dark team that fight hard

 

[Mamatigerj]

[AceofSwords]

500 points for the dark!

Edited to add: Awww! Rushing late to the battlefield! That's what happens when you are busy eating cake.

 

[Anek]

Well done everyone! Thanks for organizing!

 

[luuutscher]

How was that 3 days?!
And now you're telling me that - since I did not post them in time - my 8.500 punches today (for the light of course!) were nothing but a waste of time (and a good upper body workout )?
Whatever. You guys managed to win this one without me. Good game everyone!

 

[MRF]

Congratulations to my team and I'm so sorry for the dark team that they couldn't taste the chocolate and victory. I hope they win the next fight but I don't think they can. Because we're already preparing for the next fight.
And thank you to the darebee team for creating this cool fight. It was fun.
