Ugggh. This is depressing seeing our beloved arena shrink down to a meager 18 teams. Crying or Very sad

Seriously, what is going on around here?

Been thinking the same thing. I for one still really enjoy the arena and plan on staying for as long as it's up.

Summerborn had a real decent turn going 4-1-1, most challenged, and picking up this week's top team. The strange killing spree I've been on lately continued with another one this turn. 'Haven't seen the fight so don't know if at 1-4 Willburys were holding onto Orting because he had potential or if I rid them of a guy that was just dragging them down. Either way they have my apologies and my gal will be here for the duration of the BF should they want to take advantage of it.

Was a bit surprised that Junebug didnt see any BFs come through this turn btw. Looks like both Ale House Mercs and Lit Loons have guys with a good enough chance of getting the job done.

'Have to check in with Bartender to see what's happened to Jungleland also. That's at least one team I'm hoping might return.

I also agree Vanek, I have no idea why we are shrinking so.

On a positive note, my BA took the throne. Go Squashapillar!!! Sorry Pabst, can't have lowly scum sitting up there. I am kind of shocked it was a first minute crushing, but I do have an insane damage rating.

Also shocked about my kill. Sorry Hare Binger certainly was not running looking for a kill.

Lets hold the ground !

Perhaps a little more ads ?
A friendly feud ?

My first 0-5 in this Arena!! I guess I have been expecting it. Running on maintenance and forgetting turns, no challenges at all. Maybe it will kick me in the butt to get going!

Also lost my striker Valak: I absolutely HATE big strikers and hate burning too, but decided to give it a shot:

9(1)-3-16-17(1)-17(1)-10(1)-17(1), Poor End/Great Dam, only 17 Decise, no other experts. HORRID learner at like .8 per fight.

Took 8 turns before I trained all the stats and started on skills. So he was far behind skill wise for sure.

I miss the ads feature of the website, I will start writing them by paper I guess.

Wow. I went 4-1-1 and didn't even notice it until just now. I don't remember what my new warrior's style or numbers are. My turns have been nuts over the last few months. Not sure when I send things in and when I get them back.

Luckily, they've been doing better over the last 4 turns or so. Hopefully the trend continues.

I'll try to get the year-end SYP out next cycle. I had a class last week, so anything extra was a no-no.

This!

I haven't seen so much of the poor skill learns that some have been complaining about in this arena although I've been unusually unlucky in where they've landed, but stat trains have been downright brutal. I just cannot seem to land them.

Trip - Sorry about the loss of Valak. A trip 17, even a burned one, isn't bad. But I am glad you aren't too sad to see him go. Knut is only my second warrior ever with 3 kills and I have never had more. If he lasts that long, I suppose I will have to give him a DA shot on his last turn. It is never a good thing to kill a warrior with teammates in the champs. If he wasn't already, Knut will be training skills for the next 4 turns. Time to get his butt kicked in the BF.

As for the rest of the turn: 4-1-1

nice.

And Jager got his grad notice. I thought I might have missed some PP along the way, but I did not have him to 17 yet, so it was a nice surprise. I had been hoping he would get a shot at the title. He wasn't great by any means, but 23-20 is a bit of a disappointment for a record. Waste #3 and #11 overall from the team.

Nothing in mail yet, went 2-3 with one death. Roddon was a throw away AB 5-12-12-17-9-12-17, he was mode except +3/4 in parry and I might have found his fave weapon on first fight. He did 50% crits with a Shortsword without an expert in attack, but he was learning like crap.
