MemberCompsognathusJul-27-2013 8:20 AMIn the schedule I posted, Kelmayisaurus vs Ekrixinatosaurus was set for the second to last fight of round 1 of the DinoFights season 2 tournament, but after some talking with my sister and Makaveli7 I realized that Ekrixinatosaurus is too big. It has a much greater bite force than all of the other competitors, is faster than most (excluding Utahraptor and the other abelisaurs), heavier and longer than nearly all with only Suchomimus exceeding it in length at adult size. For this reason, it will jump straight to the fight against Tarbosaurus and the winner of season two will take on the winner of Paraceratherium vs Zhuchengtyrannus which has become a qualifying fight again.
Ekrixinatosaurus barely fits in the length range (36 feet is carnivore the limit) but if it didn't have the stubby tail that other abelisaurs had it would be about 40 feet and thus it would be disqualified. My sister actually pointed that out and did some calculations to find the mass based on its only truly similarly proportioned relative, Rajasaurus.
Rajasaurus = 9 meters long, 4000 kilograms in mass (4.409 tons)
Ekrixinatosaurus = 11 meters long, ???? kilograms in mass
El = Ekrixinatosaurus length
Em = Ekrixinatosaurus mass
Rl = Rajasaurus length
Rm = Rajasaurus mass
Em = ((El/Rl)3)*Rm
Em = ((11/9)3)*4000
Em = ((1.22222222222)3)*4000
Em = (1.82578875171)*4000
Em = 7303.15500686 kilograms or just over 8 tons. If you factor in the more robust build Ekrixinatosaurus had than Rajasaurus you have an animal that weighs 8.5-9.5 tons, about the same mass as a robust form 40 foot Tyrannosaurus (Sue) had.
I've also been trying to write fights but family life's been kinda hectic lately so I've been trying to take care of as many problems as I can before trying to write a fight or otherwise I get distracted and we end up with a Dryptosaurus vs Rhamphosuchus, an awful fight I've rewrote and reread again and again and again and again so many times that I actually can recite the profiles of both competitors. I had a Yangchuanosaurus vs Albertosaurus fight I wrote at acceptable quality but I accidentally deleted it when I was deleting bad drafts so I gave up and ate Cheetos on my couch while watching TV with my son for the rest of the day. I'm back to attempting to write now and I'm slowly preparing a fight but there's no promises on a release date.
Also, I'm trying to get my fights and InGen Files up to 100% perfect quality so any criticism, suggestions, ideas or advice at all would be much appreciated! As always, I'll reply as soon as I can to any questions or comments you have for me.
*What should replace Ekrixinatosaurus? The dinosaur must be between 20 and 35 feet long and 6 tons or less if carnivorous.

MemberCompsognathusJul-28-2013 2:28 AMI think Deltadromeus would be a good replacement.
