We can assure you that Adie and crew challenge us and we challenge them. Now that WAS a different story during the invasion, of course. We have zero "no challenge" relationships in Aruak City.
It could be that you see few challenges from us to them because we have extreme difficulties winning against her/his teams.
Never said there was a "no challenge" thingy. Just that it makes sense to beat on the 'rival gang' more than your 'homeboys'.
You have a tough time against Adie/Tankesh? Kinda like I have against you, eh? Now THAT I believe. Taking the 'easy' challenges, tho, is more of a 'Larq trait, dontcha think? At least according to the Andorian crowd.
Are you SURE the Consortium isn't a Delarquan outfit? Downchallenges, kills, taking the easy challenges?
No worries, Sir. Just tying a tin can to your tail and watching you run in circles trying to pull it off. Delarquan comedy, y'see!

Now THAT is a compliment! Thank you. I do have had a tendency to design my warriors with the expectation they'll be facing a lot of Consortium warriors.

Well, shucks. A little tail is good for both Delarqs and Andorians, wouldn't you say?

Wayne,
I must say I loved the personal add to me in Aurak... I got a BIG laugh at that one.
I did have free time last week to send last minute PA's to Mordant, but didn't get into Aurak in time... I will have to say something this newsletter.

Just wanted you to know you are not "forgotten". Thanks for competing there. You add much to the Heart & Soul Of Andoria.

Why thank you! I actually appreciate the Andorian tactics of letting me win so many fights (even though I'm still saying OUCH after reading the fight with BlueEyes). It was all my grand plan. Come in saying I'm a killer and then proceed to use the Andorian tactics against the very same managers that adhere to the 'triple H' code.
Honestly, I feel lucky to be where I'm at record wise and I'm not expecting it to last. Of course I'm not going to challenge or avoid for a while since that's what has been happening lately... just not enough time to put the research in to making challenges or proper avoids.
Time will be available to me now that the different crisis' have passed personally. But challenges/avoids? Nah, I might still stay away from them...
Anyways, I wasn't worried about anyone saying anything to me when I entered. Wasn't it the tactics of the Auraki managers to ignore the first wave of "invaders" a while back?

All this talk about Aruak has made me end my 20 year hiatus and head back to the sand with Dire Fate. It seems like a lot of colorful personalities have surfaced since then, such as talented new kids like Lord Xiang. Hopefully it won't take too long to remove the rust from my geriatric stables and rejoin the competitive and verbal fray.
I'm even checking out my other old stomping grounds, like Arkers (Dead for Hire), Jhans (House of Rats), Lyratilan (Fantasia Isle) and Chimlevtal (Voodoo Zoo - just took top team on my first day back despite two of my warriors getting clobbered for having broken weapons with no back-ups. Note to self: buy a dagger and crutches).
Hopefully the game hasn't changed much.

Can anyone tell me who are the "Andorian" managers of today?
What managers are, without a doubt, Andorian and proudly proclaim it?
Just curious.

Can't miss the opportunity to rib my friend who has been playing this game for a while. Unfortunately, like myself, he's taken a little time off and has just returned to the DM2 world! What a new kid he is, that Lord Xiang!

My antique warriors have done very well, but the newer styles of working up warriors does help. It has expanded my ideas on what to do with certain rollups instead of certainly DAing them. It will be nice to see new blood in Aurak soon. BTW, are you an Andorian or a Delarquian? There is a little 'invasion' by Delarquian manaagers which is not as vicious as the first invasion. Call it a show of force.

It will be nice to see some blood pumped into Jhans, which I consider my true home arena even though I've stopped running my team there in consideration of supporting the alliances home arena and birthplace of dueling, Mordant. Feel free to drop a team in there, and in fact the Olympiad is starting this turn after the Mail In tourney and we might not mind another contestant in the fray, even if you are announced late and have to scramble to get a team in there.
Hope to see you around the land of Alastari. I also hope you are an old school RP guy that can liven up the arena. If you are into the writing I'd say go to Mordant, Aurak City, Chimetval, and I'm sure alot of managers will suggest a few other arenas that have 'life' to them.
