AllosaurusMember4115 XPJul-18-2017 5:09 PMAfter the success of my Ceratopsid vs Tyrannosaurid writing contest, I decided to do another one, this time a fight between a sauropod and a megatheropod. Let me clarify a few things first.
A megatheropod has to be a theropod that is at least five tons in weight. Debatables like Saurophaganax maximus, Siats meekerorum, Suchomimus tenerensis, and Therizinosaurus cheloniformis are still qualifiable.
The fight has to be something that could've happened in real life. For example, you can have Tyrannosaurus rex fight Alamosaurus sanjuanensis, but not something like Apatosaurus ajax.
For the theropod, you may use multiple individuals of the same species. This would have been more realistic than say, a single Mapusaurus attacking a fully-grown Argentinosaurus.
So I just wanted to clear up those issues first. The entries must be posted as their own topics, and they will be evaluated on the following criteria:
Spelling
Grammar
Length
Detail
Impact/Emotion
The winner will be announced on a separate topic, and those who enter must state their chosen combatants in the comments of this thread. Here are some ideas if you're dull and not creative like me:
Aegyptosaurus baharijensis vs Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
Alamosaurus sanjuanensis vs Tyrannosaurus rex
Andesaurus delgadoi vs Giganotosaurus carolinii
Apatosaurus ajax vs Saurophaganax maximus
Argentinosaurus huinculensis vs Mapusaurus roseae
Paralititan stromeri vs Carcharodontosaurus saharicus
The above matchups are just suggestions, you don't have to take them. The deadline is July 28. I look forward to reading your entries!

AllosaurusMember4115 XPJul-18-2017 5:14 PMI will be doing these matchups and more in the next season of Prehistoric Death Battles, which is called "Titanic Tussles." The abbreviation will be PDBTT.

AllosaurusMember4115 XPJul-18-2017 5:17 PM^I'm sorry KOTM, but those two didn't live in the same formation. Argentinosaurus was found in the Huincul formation with Mapusaurus, and Giganotosaurus was found in the Candeleros formation with Andesaurus.

Tyrannosaurus RexMember5639 XPJul-18-2017 5:18 PMDRACONUS - This is so very neat! However, I shall abstain from this competition in favor of simply reading and enjoying the entries! I can not wait to see what everyone shall present! :)
AllosaurusMember4115 XPJul-18-2017 5:19 PMSR, why won't you be entering?

Tyrannosaurus RexMember5639 XPJul-18-2017 5:21 PMDRACONUS - I simply wish to read the entries and take time to enjoy them this time around. I shall enter into the next one you present! I am very excited to read what the contestants shall provide! :)
TriceratopsMember198 XPJul-18-2017 5:56 PMUnfortunately, I won't enter. I have some big projects coming up in the next few weeks, so I won't invest time writing a good story just now. I will enter a future contest.
AllosaurusMember4115 XPJul-18-2017 5:57 PM^Sorry, man. But good luck with your projects!

Good grief.
AllosaurusMember4115 XPJul-19-2017 3:00 PMGG I kinda expected you to do T.rex vs Alamosaurus. And would your entry be canon in the The End universe?
"Part of the journey is the end..."
AllosaurusModerator3811 XPJul-19-2017 4:12 PMT.rex vs Alamosaurus is so tempting, but I want to expand my dinosaur knowledge beyond the Tyrant Lord.
Good grief.
