                             Notes from the arena champ.

Hail Arvat, once again I rule here and receive the jealous and adoring stares from
the masses!  Ah, fame, how subtle and sublime!

Enough of that.  My fight against United was disgusting.  I half expected the
Gladiatorial Commission to show up and demand my Advanced Master rating in attack
back!  Pathetic!  I have seldom fought so poorly.

This turn I shall challenge Malignant Tumor and United again.  I should have the
opportunity to do better.  If not, then I fully expect to lose!

As I have an interview over at the Arvat Enquirer today, I have to cut this short. 
Farewell Arvat, one more battle and then I am off to the isle, where I hear that a
career as a fashion model awaits me.  (Hope there's an audience that likes scars....)

                           Eve Elwon

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ARVAT games.  There were bitter words at 
DISILLUSIONED's guildhouse after a 1-1-0 showing this week which dropped the stable 
into 11th.  Dark Arena anyone?  FOR THE GODLINGS! caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested YUGO CV and was awarded 18 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, FOR THE GODLINGS! put down 
YUGO CV, causing it to lose 16 points of recognition in the process.  Although 
DEMMELL made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious 
EVE ELWON.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their 
position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In ARVAT "art" is a word that has long 
since passed from the language!  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this 
week's challenge seeking began.  CALL THE PRIEST is feared.  This much I can say.  
Apparently the stalwarts of DEVIL ADVOCATES are catching the bulk of jests down at 
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Mighty fighters cannot 
but expect competition from those below.  IZUSU TROOPER take warning!  You have more 
than a few enemies in ARVAT.  As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of fear lays 
hold of its heart.  True, IZUSU TROOPER?  Who could miss your "brave" challenge of 
DEMETREN?  All the city knows the duel went in favor of IZUSU TROOPER.  I shall not 
fail to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and 
assassins.  In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in ARVAT.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  More than a sharp eye must I keep, 
indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari await 
me!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a 
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Sextus -- Doesn't seem right for you to pick on an old man like that.  Doesn't.
What's that you say? -- Hearing Aid

Ryner -- Wow!  I was sure lucky you didn't dislocate me! -- Bionic Hip

All -- I am very disillusioned with my mediocre 3-3 since that terrific 5-0 start.
Please try to be a little gentler with me and my cannon fodder. -- The Old Man

Well with the holidays here I actually seem to have some free time in which to get
back on top of my responsibilities here.  Either that or the 'free time' I found is
actually me just procrastinating my holiday shopping.  Either way, I actually got
turns and ads in this time.  Yeah. -- Rillion

Izusu Trooper -- You gonna hang around for a few turns this time or go back into
hiding like a punk so my team can't get revenge against you? -- Demmell

Freewheel Burnin' -- Nothing like that challenge to get my manager back on top of
getting my avoids submitted. -- Roland

Laura -- A bit of mismatch there.  Too bad your learns weren't better. -- Demetren

Larry -- I am sick of fighting you. -- Gelen

Bionic Hip -- Wow am I bad.  I'm outta here. -- Ryner

Servius -- This is feeling amazingly familiar.  I wonder if Jorja would let me
retire?  It isn't like my career is GOING anywhere. -- Sarlow

Gremlin -- What, doesn't anybody make NEW challenges around here?  Yeahyeah, okay, I
understand.  You got a look at my moves and wanted to see if you could beat 'em.
Sorry.  Reasonable desire.  I'm just cranky today.  Probably the cold. -- Fillis Bouy
P.S.  Actually, you did it very well.

Eutychius -- That's...what, "good luck"?  Good luck needs good skills to back it up.
-- Geroge Roft
P.S.  Like I would know a good skill if I saw one!

Remus -- May your tongue catch fire and your brother just accidentally push you into
a well. -- Peter Piquin
P.S.  Skills are always good.  Thanks.

Appius -- For pete's sake, man, don't parry with your FACE! -- Heron
P.S.  Why do I get the idea that you should be out building a road or something?  Of
course, a good paved road would be a real boon to the economy of Arvat....

Ed. -- This is true.  And they're mostly men. -- Fillis Bouy
P.S.  Two closely related circumstances.

     You may be onto something there. -- Ed.

of Darkness.  If you are interested, we need to move quickly, since the contest
starts in January and there are a few requirements to meet to participate.  May your

ANNOUNCING THE NO-TOURNAMENT ARENA (81)

As an American I honor my cultural heritage by stealing any good idea.  This idea was
originally proposed by Lord Xiang in November 2005.  RSI will be opening the arena
(81) for teams willing to sign the following pledge:

*  I pledge that I will not send warriors from this arena to a Tournament, nor will I
   use a Tournament prize on a warrior from this arena.
*  I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena.  If circumstances
   preclude my running less than a full team I will notify the Player Committee.
*  I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
*  I understand that any warrior that participates in a Tournament shall be sent to
   the Dark Arena until they are dead.
*  I understand that any warrior that receives a Tournament prize shall be send to
   the Dark Arena until they are dead.

The following are the rules for joining this No-Tournament arena
1.  No tournament play for warriors in this arena (Dead tournament or otherwise).
2.  One team per manager.
3.  Teams start with new rollup (or a zero fight equivalent team is transferred into
    this arena.)
4.  No tourney prizes allowed to modify warriors in the arena.
5.  Twenty teams required, per RSI.
6.  Waivers are required to allow self-regulation on tourney ban, granting RSI
    authority to Dark Arena any warrior that participates in a Tournament (until the
    warrior is dead).
7.  Rotating council to enforce tourney ban and maintain arena integrity.

The main purpose of the Player Committee is to maintain fair play in the arena:
*  Warriors that participate in Tournaments will be sent to the Dark Arena until they
   are dead.  This means that the Player Committee has the power to send another
   player's warrior to the Dark Arena

     RSI will be processing overviews for this arena as soon as you send them into
RSI.
     The first turn will run in January 2007.  This will be a normal speed arena.
     While I am encouraging everyone to use TEAM MAINTENANCE it is not mandatory.
The intent is that players that run turns will run a full team.  One warrior teams
are discouraged and will a topic for the Player Committee to resolve.
     I also encourage players to join the Duel2 Yahoo Group for faster updates and
feedback.  http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/duel/

     Deke Young will not be part of the inaugural Player Committee, maybe later once
the Arena direction has been developed.
     Any questions can be directed to DekeYoung@Comcast.NET
     I will track Awards in Arena 81, which will be posted on a web site and included
in the following turn's newsletter.

The Honor of Sunset Award:
     The first team to reach 10 Team Kills.  In the case that there is more than one
team that achieves 10 Team Kills on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the team
with the most kills.  If two or more teams are tied for Team Kills, I will prolong
the contest until one team has the most Kills in the Arena (it does not have to be
one of the teams that first reached 10 Team Kills.)

The Race to Victory Award:
     The first team to reach 75 Team Wins.  In the case that there is more than one
team that reaches 75 Team wins on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the team
with the most wins.  If two or more teams are tied for Team Wins, I will prolong the
contest until one team has the most wins in the Arena (it does not have to be one of
the teams that first reached 75 Team Wins.)

The Commitment to Change Award:
     The first team to reach 125 Team Fights.  In the case that there is more than
one team that reaches 125 Team Fights on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the
team with the most fights.  If two or more teams are tied for Team Fights, I will
prolong the contest until one team has the most fights in the Arena (it does not have
to be one of the teams that first reached 125 Team Fights.)  I hope I never give out
this award {figure it out on your own.}

The Team Advancement Award:
     The first team to graduate 5 warriors to ADM.  In the case that there is more
than 1 team that graduates 5 warriors on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the
first team to graduate 6 warriors.  In the case that there is more than 1 team that
graduates 6 warriors on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the first team to
graduate 7 warriors, and so on.

The Iron Throne Award:
     The first team to hold the Duelmaster for 10 turns STARTING ON TURN 11.

The Stylemaster Award.
     The first team to hold the Stylemaster Award in 7 different styles, STARTING ON
TURN 11.  If two teams obtain Stylemaster Awards in 7 styles on the same turn, the
goal will be increased to 8 Styles.

Team Recognition Points:  The total recognition points for all warriors in the arena
The Iron Throne Ledger:  We will track who has been the Duelmaster every turn in
     Arena history.
Iron Throne Counter:  The total number of times a team has been the Duelmaster.
Composite Team Stylemaster awards:  The number of times a team has had any of the 10
     Stylemasters.  Having 2 Stylemasters = 2 points that turn.
Challenge win percentage:  How often your warriors win when they challenge.
Challenge Defender rate:  How often your warriors win when they WERE challenged.
Team Invitations:  Number of warriors graduated to ADM.
Team Graduation Rate:  Total team fights/Graduated Warriors.
Team Kill Percentage:  Total of team Kills/Team Fights
Team Death Percentage:  Total of Team Deaths/Team Fights
Team Revenge Rate: Number of Deaths/BloodFeuds Revenged (Note that the Dark Arena
     will be counted as not-revenged.)  You only get credit for one successful
     BloodFeud per death (though I encourage you to BloodFeud all 4 turns.)
Current Win Streaks:  Warriors that have gone the most turns without losing or
     missing a turn.
Team Yahtzee counter:  Number of times a team has gone 5-0 in a turn.
Team Bagel counter:  Number of times a team has fought without a win.
Team Dark Arena counter:  Number of times each team has used the Dark Arena.
The Most Feared (avoided) Team counter:  Number of turns that team was the most
     avoided team.

     We will create a web page just for Arena 81 category leaders.
     Hope to see you there. -- Deke
