                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings and farewell,
     I am off to a well deserved and long overdue retirement.  I was designed way
back, some time around 1989, I believe.  My less than impressive stats are 12-9-17-
17-11-9-9.  I leave with AEs in initiative and attack and an expert in decisiveness.
Got pretty boring favs, VH/VL GS Init favorite learn.  Here is a safety tip, don't
design your warriors so they have no weapons well suited (and no the WF doesn't count
as a weapon).  It is immensely frustrating.
     I don't know who I challenged this cycle, my manager didn't bother to tell me.

Good luck all,
Andrew

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ROCANIS a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as ROLE MONSTERS is pushed out of top team by GENERAL SURGERY, who came 
from 3rd with a 4-0-0 this turn.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there 
are sorrows to drown for STAR GUARDIANS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 
6th.  And let's see, TAKAHASHI fought JAVELINO and gained 24 points and contributed 
to GENERAL SURGERY's 4-0-0.  SLEEZ has lost to HEDGEHOG, falling 4 points, while 
helping make ROLE MONSTERS a 1-4-0 turn.  This week's Duelmaster bout was between 
APPLEMINT and our Duelmaster ANDREW, making a challenge.  The attempts to dethrone 
the Duelmaster have failed, and ANDREW remains ROCANIS' top warrior for another turn. 
Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters 
do dishes at The Wanton Troll until they win.  Maybe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  ROLE MONSTERS has cause to stand tall, as 
they were ROCANIS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  
And guess who avoided ROLE MONSTERS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
GENERAL SURGERY.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was BAD 
APPLES' warrior CANDY APPLE.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the 
Duelmaster!  Tsk, tsk, tsk.  CAPTAIN CAVEMAN, does your manager know you're 
challenging down 21 points to fight BROKEN TOE from REDHORSE?  I thought challenges 
were for warriors, not cowards looking for easy wins.  CAPTAIN CAVEMAN bested BROKEN 
TOE, is nothing sacred?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

Broken Toe -- No, Mechanism was NOT going for the kill.  While I did run him with a
KD of 6 I had him aiming at the Legs.  I do apologize for the death of Palomino.
Unfortunately we aren't going to be around for a Bloodfeud until after the tourney.
I apologize for that too.  Again, we greatly apologize for the death of your
teammate. -- Mad Max mgr. Tools of Torment

Hedgehog -- I do regret not making this turn.  I will not be around until after the
up coming Face to Face.  My manager is holding me out until then.  I hope there are
no hard feelings. -- Mechanism

Mechanism -- Wasn't it rather chicken of you to avoid fighting, right after you
killed one of our teammates?  Are all the Tools of Torment as weak-kneed as you? --
mgr. Redhorse

Captain Caveman -- Hmph.  Well struck. -- Broken Toe

Jonathannie -- Thanks for the skill, and no, I'd rather not see your special move
again. -- Javelino

Sleeze -- (gasp) I am Hedgehog, hear me wheeze!  Wow, you're very good at that. --

Shaaron -- (disappointed look)  I thought you were a rose. -- Deadfall
P.S.  You know, "by any other name," and so on.

Wishlist -- Ah...don't I wish!  I hope those four skills filled some of the wishes on
your list. -- Bitter Vetch, feeling moderately benevolent for some reason

Javelino -- Ah!  Roast pig. -- Jonathannie

Mountain Goat -- May you fall from a high spot. -- Applemint

Looks like somebody forgot to tell the Mage's Apprentice not to mess with...Candy
Apple
P.S.  Their mouths get stuck and they can't do their spells.  Ha!

                                     DEATH FEST

     The ferocious ghosts of former glories whispered across the wind swept sands of
DM 59; agonizing incessantly due to the diminutive demise of the Delarq arena known
as Illis.
     Tattered banners and forgotten memories wailed in the wind for a dynamic death
march to dawn once more upon the blood stained sands of the Delarq slow arena.
     The distant call crying for  a declaration of restoration amidst the ruin of the
all but forgotten Delarq arena carried to the far corners of Alastari; drawing the
Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging to cross blades and
wage warfare among an assemblage of new stables managed by the Known and Unknown;
willing to spill fresh blood, while carving their destiny during 15 Rounds of contest
driven combat to be known as the "Illis Incredibly Diabolical Delarq Death Fest".
     A lone cloaked figure huddled by lamplight in a remote outpost near the
crossroads of ElseWhere and ElseWhen; feverishly formulating the foundational
framework for the dawning of the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59, complete with
Gladiatorial Commission sanctioned prizes to promote the growing thirst for a Delarq
Slow Arena Death Festival.

     Delarq Death Fest Opening Round debuts the first turn immediately following the
Summer 2004 F2F Tourney and continues through the completion of 15 consecutive
rounds.
     Death Fest points are Won or Lost ONLY in the DM 59 Delarq Slow Arena [Tourneys
DO NOT Add or Subtract from the Death Fest Point Scoring System]:

Death Fest Scoring Format:
Win =3D +2 pts
Loss =3D -1 pt
Kill =3D +5 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Death =3D -3 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Dark Arena Kill =3D +10 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Dark Arena Death =3D -5 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Revenged Blood Feud =3D +5 pts [successful Revenged Blood Feud provides Death Fest
contestants the opportunity to cancel out 3 pts for Death and 1 pt for Loss; while
gaining +1 pt overall for the Revenged Blood Feud in addition to the +2 pts for Win]

    DEATH FEST PRIZES will be awarded to the Top Ten Death Fest Stables on the basis
of Total Points*** accumulated during the 15 rounds of competition as follows:

1.  Favorite Weapon Knowledge for 1 (one) warrior ranked Initiate or higher on the
Final Round to be revealed by RSI to each of the Top Ten Death Fest Stables
2.  Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters and NPCs [yet to be determined according to how
many DA Monsters and NPCs are available in DM 59 for Renaming]
3.  The Top Five Death Fest Stables will receive New Team Rollup Certificates as
follows:  1st (10), 2nd (8), 3rd (6), 4th (4) and 5th (2)
4.  Renaming Illis Arena for 6 months plus Receiving 6 months Free Play courtesy of
RSI will be awarded to the manager of the 1st Place Death Fest Stable
5.  Discussions are underway regarding a possible Special Award granted to the Illis
Iron Stable qualifiers who compete in 67 of a possible 75 fights during the course of
the 15 consecutive rounds of the Death Fest [Key Factor is How Many (?) stables will
be competing in the Death Fest without drawing away participation by current managers
in the remaining slow arenas!]  Therefore, it is important for all managers entering
stables in DM 59 for the upcoming Death Fest to contact RSI as soon as possible
regarding their participation in this contest so that a Final Ruling on the proposed
Illis Iron Stable Award can be issued by RSI.

***TieBreaker is determined on the Final Round by the DM 59 Newsletter Recognition
Rankings.  The stable with the Highest Ranked Active Gladiator is granted the
decision.  [Example: Warrior A and Warrior B are both listed in the Recognition
Rankings with 87 pts; however, because Warrior A is listed in the Recognition
Rankings ahead of Warrior B, then Warrior A is granted the TieBreaker Decision for
His/Her stable!]

     Opening Round Team Spotlight Bonus [minimum 15 paragraphs!]  Each Delarq Death
Fest competitor who writes a Team Spotlight featuring their Stable (Name) and
Managerial Alias [Gladiatorial Names Optional] in regards to competing in the Delarq
Death Fest will receive 25 pts added to His/Her opening round score.
     Illis Iron Stable Bonus [in addition to the proposed award awaiting RSI
approval!]  Any manager whose stable competes in at least 67 of the possible 75
fights during the 15 rounds of Death Fest receives 25 points added to His/Her final
overall score [this allows each stable the cushion of missing one round of
competition; plus up to 3 additional fights due to waiting for replacement rollups
from Deaths suffered either in Tourneys or during the Death Fest contest in DM 59
over the course of 15 rounds of competition!]

                                 TEN TURNS OF HELL:
                        The KLK Capture The Flag Competition

In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I
am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition.  The competition will be
held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already).
:)  We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep.

Rules:
     -- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your
team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender).
     -- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn
463 is the turn scoring will begin.
     -- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many
flags as he can win.
     -- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by
warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their
original team's lowest ranked warrior.
     -- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that
turn.
     -- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those
flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating
warrior.
     -- Scoring as follows for each turn:
          2 pts -- possession of your own team flag
          1 pt -- possession any other flag
          1 pt -- for each win
          1 pt -- for each kill
          1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter
     -- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its
own entry.
     -- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags.
     -- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from
kills.  (It's the Delarq way.)
     -- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
(based on highest point totals)

Prizes: (what you've been waiting on)
1st -- 3 know favorites potions*
       DA warrior named after winning manager
2nd -- 2 know favorites potions*
3rd -- 1 know favorites potion*

* These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used
on warriors with at least 4 FE.

     How's that for paying out? (grin)  Even if you think that it's all about the TC,
these prizes should be enough to draw you in.  (You know who you are.)
     I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans.  Legion, Froths, and all the
others...this is your personal invite.  Can you win?  Can you survive 10 turns of
Hell in Jhans?
     Note:  Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible.  Thanks
guys!
