I think its fairly certain that too many people asking for too many different arenas is the problem.

Sounds like a typical case whereas a 'special favor' became somewhat of a regularity - and thus expected, then taken advantage of - and ultimately abused.
Regardless, the electronic posting gives some sort of predictabilitywhich is an advantage for some with slower mail service. |

Kat, if you need the electronic posting to give you a couple extra days head start on mailing in your strats on a SLOW arena, then you have some atrocious mail service, indeed...you in Canada?? |

Regardless, could it not have been done a little less heavy handed. A simple post for no more early NL requests would have been sufficient, instead of the typical government type manoeuver that was implemented. I could rant a little but things like this always fall on deaf ears.

At a quick glance I see lots of 2-3 turns, that means no significant changes in the top ranks.
Nice to see Rillion not jump out farther ahead, I'm steppin' on your cloak man.

Not only did I go 2-3, but I had a death as well, so I end up slipping a point for the turn, 2-3-0-1 +1 = -1. I wasn't joking when I said I had some puds running in this thing after having 4 (now 5 replacements so far in the contest). Hopefully no one else at the top had a really great turn so I didn't fall too far. And here is hoping for a good replacement (fingers crossed). |

Well fortunately the 2nd through 4th place teams all treaded water with 2-3-0-0 +1 turns, unfortunately for me (but good for Kat!) Janix had a decent turn and with the kill (of my warrior) grabs the lead! Congratulations Kat!
I only checked the scores of last turns top 5, so anyone else that had a good turn has a good chance of breaking into the top rank of teams:
Janix 12
GH2 11
C o Steel 11
O W & M 9
Steel Reign 9
Another lead change and another new team in 1st! This is really shaping up to be an interesting contest. |

I also had another blah 2-3, but didn't lose anyone, just got a push again points-wise. At least I'm not going backwards, about all that can be said. Just hoping for good learns at this point! |

The Tigers are coming. The Tigers are coming! 3-2-0. (But they do have a very long way to come.) |

Well since the point total for First Place stayed the same, anyone that had a positive turn gained ground. And since the top four teams were a combined 8-12 with a death, it seems likely that those not in the top four likely had decent turns. |

Good job Kat!
Nice to see the VC with 1st and 3rd, hopefully we can keep it up. I know next turn I'll have at least one loss. Time to use up my DA fight and take a chance, my 11 WT BAer is just not cutting it. 3-4 with no learned skills spells death to me. Course 3 fe was stat trains but still.

Just wait for the long-distance runners.
This is a Marathon. |

After 2 years of running the Morya Madness, the Memorial contest seems like a warm-up lap. Better pull up your shell and waddle alittle faster Mr. Turtle. |
