It is confirmed that a mgr can move a team from a closed arena to another arena, even though that manager may have anther team there. Both teams can be run, and warriors of those teams , under the same manager ID, cannot fight each other.

The above is what Sandy from RSI told me, as well, in my emails to resurrect these old teams of mine.

I've probably bugged her/him(?) to death but I have one set of questions left to be answered...does my team ID # change, and warrior ID#s change in these moves--I've already moved them. I imagine they would. I'd need them before I can mail in these really old turnsheets, right?

You will get (should get) new profile sheets for each warrior with new team # and new warrior IDs reflecting that arena.

Sandy (a she) can send you an email copy of the new overviews if asked.

21st Century vernacular lost on a 20th Century player...

What does "burning" a warrior mean?

Does this rollup seem to fit that category?

I would recommend that you read the great info collected in the "New and Returning Members" forum:

In particular, the thread titled "Dueltorial - An Ever Evolving Glossary" should help you with any terms that you encounter that you are unfamiliar with:

Ah, I see. Thanks OAB.

Well, it's done. For the first time since Summer/Fall of '98, I've mailed-off a turn for DM/D2.

If there's one goal I'd like to reach returning to D2 it's to graduate a warrior of every style. I only have three to go--PL, AB, PR. I've had some really great PL and AB, only to see them die at the Champions level, some winning as high as 65%.

And, checking the old records, I've never run a PR. Not once. I'll have to remedy that.

Of all my graduates, I think my Blood Games Basher, that went 7-3-5, and made it to ADM is my proudest achievement.

See you on the sands, one and all.

Excellent, and which sands/arenas will these be?

Jade Mountain, and later on I'd like to visit my home arena, Lapur, which was a great arena for RP and highly competitive "back in the day." It looks like there's still a few familiar faces in Lapur.

I just had this rollup recently; I went 5-10-14-9-21-4-21 AB... he went 5-3-0 in the rookies, then 1-1-dead in the Apps.

Thanks for that info, Buri.

I'm probably out of the loop quite a bit, but doesn't that low Wit-7/9 effect his skill learning? Would it be better to make him Wit-13 during creation for better long term skill learning? In other words, wouldn't he soon surpass the 7 Wit rollup in Skills in around 10-12 fights?

Yes, it certainly does affect skill learns to have that low a wit. But I see it like this: if you don't have 17 or 21 WT these days (sometimes 15 for defensives), then you're behind the curve anyway. This is not the kind of fighter who's going to improve your basic arena W/L record. The idea behind this kind of fighter is ADM potential. When he finally gets all/most his skill learns years from now, he will then be on the same level as everyone else around him, but he'll have that 21 WL to raise stats very easily. WL and DF will be at 25 quickly, and you'll get a ton of skills just raising WT from 9 to 13. This is commonly referred to as "busting out", usually timed for a tourney.
