I wasn't sure where to post this but I'm curious about the Jamroom-offered battle modules and the N8flash polls...
We are looking to start having battles on the site and don't want artists to be able to create their own battles but have a buy-in and then we would create the battle via the admin side and the winner would take half the pot. Is this possible with either/both modules?

I have the Jamroom battle module, I've never really used the nateflash battle module even though it came with the mskin i think the Jamroom module is better integrated and more of a full fledged system, you can control more aspects of it BUT it's been on the back burner for a bit now and I believe is still considered a beta release. I don't think it works as well for any other skins then Nova at this point, the other integrated skins haven't even been released yet and I use cobalt3, I integrated it myself and it does work but it's buggy right now. Sixstring has created the other skins for the battle module but I guess they're still working on getting the timers right before releasing them.
I hope Brian can sort this out and go over with a fine tooth comb and officially release it (not as beta) because this module has history, has come way to far to not finish it up soon and in my personal opinion is the coolest module ever pumped out of Jamroom ever, ever, ever but that's just my opinion... got to get it ironed out first though.

Thanks for the input... could you elaborate on what you mean when you say "buggy"? Is there anything that would impede my plans laid out in the first post. I'm actually using a modified version of Nova so that should be fine.

I think it should work fine, if I recall from a while ago I was having an issue with some images not diplaying properly and in my case the timers not displaying properly because I use Cobalt3 but i haven't used it in a while because I was waiting for a final release. I would spend some time on the demo site and run a couple battles myself if I were you and see if you notice issues, if all runs fine on the demo it should work perfect for you!
So you know exactly what has been ironed out so far, it's pretty extesive, too much for me to list in this post but I think it really works pretty well right now with Nova and is due to be button'd up soon I would think as far as all skins and any bugs.
As far as what you need it for (from your first post) it does all of that and much more
You can- (This is kind of an overview of the battle module control panel)
Refresh/ view open battles/ create new battle
(veiw completed battles) which shows you Battle Status, Type, Round, Entries, Purse, Fee, Sponsor, Options to delete, view or clone an existing battle.

This gives you a ton of control over how you would like to run a battle
and for $29.00 I think you'd pay a developer hundreds to come up with something from scratch that's even remotely close to this.
Go here to login as admin and set up your own battle and test the module out yourself if you haven't already http://demo.jamroom.net/login.php user:admin pass:admin
