[quote="Terminator"]I read and understand your post Darque, but one particular line has left me confused..."[color=red]When you whine about about even the smallest infraction, no one is going to care or listen when the wolf actually shows up on the scene.[/color]" What is this in regards too? "[color=red]How many people that have complained about the state of the arena have done something about it?" [/color]I guess my question to you is, what can be done about it? That was the whole premise for my post. I love this arena and want it to thrive, but am unsure what we (or even just I ) can do to assist in that. If you have suggestions, I am certainly all ears. Your suggestion to make it a priority to keep posting personals is a good one that I will attempt to make a better effort to do. But in the big scheme of things, I think this will have a very minimal impact. "[color=red]There is more I want to say, and I may later, but I'm going to stop here and see if I can't stop fuming a bit[/color]." Fuming? Are you angry about something? I hope it wasn't my post that upset you. I am merely trying to "rally the troops" so to speak and maybe come up with some suggestions to give Shadowspire a little boost. I am eager to hear your additional thoughts.[/quote]

Alright, now everyone take all of this great discussion and transfer it to the NL. Talk about your turn, taunt your opponents (and friends).

Only a 2-3 for me, but since my guys are so high, I challenged warriors with quadruple the fe, and it paid off since I had some nice skill learns this turn. And I was a lot closer to beating Benedict and Squashapillar than I expected.

2-3 with a DA and a DM. The search for a viable rollup continues. I think Spork graduates if he keeps the throne one more time. Hoping Turducken has turned the corner and starts a win streak.

I think you guys should encourage Kano to join the fun in 81. He's gotten real quiet in Sunset and while I don't participate in either arena, I loved reading the PA's!
Yikes! If there was one manager I almost don't want in the arena . . .

I am definately staying in 81. And I definately have NOT been a big contributor lately. I have issued a single bloodfued in a long long time. I blame no one but myself.
This is the only place I am playing duelmasters at the moment and I will continue to do so. As is usual my desire for playing comes and goes. It is at a low phase right now so I busy playing HW until my interest peaks back up then I will be back in tourneys and other arenas with a bang I am sure.
I went 2-2-0-1 this turn and lost my basher Nikus.
11-4-14-11-17-16-11, Norm/Good, 17/9/18/5/8/23. Definately a decise favorite and used the QS like a champ. A warrior I was going to DA but the first 2 fights he like 5 decise and what you gonna do then? Gotta keep him!
I will make an honest effort to get back on track in the arena. The ads not being online was definately NOT an excuse for me, I just didn't do it. I will try to get better. Love it here still and don't want to see it drop off.

Well, I would like to note that I did send in ads to the email in the above post for this turn. My ads for arena 21 showed up, but those for 81 did not. I even got a confirmation email. I sent them on Tuesday so perhaps they were a bit late in the day and will show in next turns newsletter. But using the site link I have sent them that late in the past. Who knows? But I did try. For the first 125 turns or so I probably missed ads twice. Lately things have been harder, but I made a conscious effort to get them in this time. I will do so again next turn.
I think any concept arena is likely to have some friction - we all like the concept, but we might have a slightly different feel for exactly what that means. I know I have seen that here before - and have sometimes been one of those with a vision for what the arena means.
As for the turn itself, I appear to doing my part to recruit people by giving away free wins. 1-4. Ouch. But one loss was in the DA, so that was expected. Still, 1-3 is hardly exciting. Here's hoping for a quality replacement.

My contribution to the arena this turn was fights, challenges, personal ads, and trying to start a feud with Sherman and Literate Loons.

Outsider viewpoint here, I don't play in 81 nor would I ever:
I think his point is that a number of the 81 crew have been mentioning lately that participation is dropping off, but yet there are few or no personals each turn.
I had made the comment to Darque on chat that 81 looks to have degenerated into a boring, overloaded arena with no personals, columns, etc. Just apathy.
If you guys want your arena to be fun, continue to flow and have good participation, you'll want to liven things up.
And that's up to every one of you...
Now removing nose from other people's business...
the Dark One
No, you are absolutely correct (about livening things up) and I respect your opinion. But I don't think the most recent string of diminishing Personal ads is the problem. The arena had tons on ads in the very recent past and attendance numbers had already been drooping a bit before that. It was the loss of the Ads tab recently on the forums that created the drop off in the personal ads. Before that, the personal ads were thriving.
