As predicted, I have returned after a difficult two minute fight from usurper Alvin of Aaron's Angels who put up a valiant duel and almost toppled me. Still no final will train for me... Not much to say this turn and little time to say it! The carrier pigeon that delivers Caesar's dispatches was late once again. This turn's challenges go out to Darlina with a back-up on Jammies. Aimed blows get my avoids. I hate aimed blows. It is a shame that the Gladitorial Commission doesn't just acknowledge the unrealistic nature of the open hand issue and bring it back to reality. Like the name implies: Reality Simulations!!! I see Dartman has reemerged in the Grand Challenger Champions. Perhaps the Dark One has some sneaky Dark One strategy in store for me with his Tourney Victor challenge??? That Dark One can be downright clever sometimes. Look for us in the Bloodgames at the next tourney. A Roman contingency will be represented and we look forward to the reation of ten DYO's! Much better tahn the old days where you only got one and the remainder of the team consisted of four standard roll-up duds. Redfox, no sweat, buddy. You will be fine. May I suggest a golf course versus the horse farm? Horses smell awful at times. Golf is the way to go. Caesar has been trying to figure out a way to play golf all summer and ski all winter for quite some time. However, he has not been able to fugure out a way to pay for it... That could be a problem! Until next time (if there is a next time), drink heavily and eat heartily! Have a Happy New Year! Romulus, Lord Marshall Roman Heroes REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER You don't want to listen to Zontani Sharp-eyes, do you? I mean, if you do, just say so and I'll let him do it next time. Especially when it's raining, like today. Rain is when you stay home with a cat and some chocolates and some really good friends and just sit around the fire and talk, right? Except when it's fight day. So, let's see. Thirty-four fights. I don't see why I can't spell it thrity- four sometimes. I mean, sometimes I just FEEL like doing that, you know? But this golem comes along behind and fixes it. Only two standbys, which is good. We don't want a lot of standbys out there, although sometimes I don't see why NOT. I mean, why fight with the same old friends all the time? Oh, well. Thirteen challenge matches, one of them tv and the rest radio. Nobody died. Fear Factory was most avoided by I, Claudius. This is really strange, and probably sort of not fair to I, Claudius, because there's only one warrior on that team here, so why is he MOST avoiding? I think, Zontani doesn't say for sure, just natters on about how he's got lots of enemies here in Free Blades which I do NOT believe because we aren't LIKE that here even if we're not Andorian. Um, where was I? Oh, right. T-Bone, most challenged. Just, nobody'd better have a steak knife out there. Some fights--well, who am I kidding, all the fights: MOUSE NOYLE (17-6252) (41-71-0,84) of MIDDLE WAY fought SISTER X (12-6340) (20- 8-0,87) of CULTS-R-US. MOUSE NOYLE bested SISTER X in an action packed 5 minute gory bout. Is this more of the "Mice don't need cults because they're born knowing lots of secrets from living in the walls" stuff? PITSPAWN FOULDOG (61-3121) (20-14-1,84) of FEAR FACTORY fought COMRADE KOOK (12- 6339) (19-10-1,55) of CULTS-R-US. PITSPAWN FOULDOG slimly lost to COMRADE KOOK in an exciting 3 minute battle. So, dogs don't do secrets? But, you know, are cults really about secrets? I mean, I thought it was getting to wear cool robes and look mysterious and write in code. KJARRAN'S HAMMER (61-3372) (19-10-0,67) of FEAR FACTORY fought DRIZZT (40-4146) (20-18-0,71) of PHILANTHROPISTS. KJARRAN'S HAMMER was devastated by DRIZZT in a 1 minute one-sided duel. Probably rust. I just can't help it, I have to tell you that Drizzt is some kind of mist-golem. You can tell from his name. REPREHENSIBLE (82-27850) (2-4-0,64) of THE BROTHERHOOD 91 fought LU-LIGHTNING (13-4900) (20-10-1,82) of KIRKWOOD 1. REPREHENSIBLE was overpowered by LU-LIGHTNING in a 1 minute one-sided fray. Just STRUCK DOWN by lightning, you know? It was a surprise, I mean, we're used to Lady Sheila doing the lightning thing at the beginning of the fight, but not to gladiators getting HIT by it. ShazZAM, you know? Woke people up. FLATTUS MAXIMUS (77-2125) (47-49-2,139) of GWAR fought XHUGHA KARGARIT (103-38) (32-28-1,130) of the College of Mimes. FLATTUS MAXIMUS demolished XHUGHA KARGARIT in an exciting 2 minute one-sided fight. What this SHOULD say is that Mr. Maximus "flattened" Xhugha. Totally flat. Maximum flat. It's his signature thing, you know? KNUCKLE JAW (77-2129) (44-51-2,125) of GWAR fought XHUGHA KARGARIT (103-38) (32- 28-1,130) of the College of Mimes. KNUCKLE JAW handily defeated XHUGHA KARGARIT in a 2 minute one-sided fight. And Knuckles broke Xhugha's jaw, which annoyed the Infirmarian, but so what? It woke him up. Some people NEED to be annoyed now and then. But it probably was unfair to make Xhugha go out twice, not that "unfair" has anything to do with anything else. You know. CANNIBAL CORPSE (61-2373) (30-30-4,143) of FEAR FACTORY fought MIMOSA (32-4294) (17-11-0,91) of PHILANTHROPISTS. CANNIBAL CORPSE was overpowered by MIMOSA in an action packed 1 minute one-sided fight. Besides being a really pretty tree except for the nasty thorns, a mimosa is a drink. It's best if it has an umbrella in it, but if it DOESN'T have an umbrella, it might overpower you JUST LIKE THIS. So be warned. GRETH (32-4321) (20-7-1,162) of RILL'S GCSC2 fought JAVELINO (56-3728) (35-41- 0,115) of REDHORSE. GRETH overpowered JAVELINO in a 1 minute uneven competition. What I heard, and I don't know if it's true but probably neither one will tell me so I can just go ahead and say it, is that Greth drug Javelino over to Drake's Bar-B-Q for a big cookout sort of thing, and everyone's invited. Bring your own napkins. RETROVIRUS (70-6086) (44-33-0,208) of FEAR FACTORY IV fought THE QUICKLING (70- 1669) (71-159-2,170) of SCARLET KNIGHTS. RETROVIRUS overcame THE QUICKLING in an action packed 1 minute bout. Fossils. And I bet The doesn't even notice. But you'd better be careful, Retro, because The is infected with apathy, and it might be contagious, you know? So watch out. GOLEM (35-1485) (71-52-1,208) of THE PHILANTHROPISTS fought NINE INCH NAIL (61- 2273) (36-31-3,180) of FEAR FACTORY. GOLEM won victory over NINE INCH NAIL in an action packed 4 minute bout. I saw a man once who hammered in a nail using a banana. It was a very cold banana, but still kind of messy afterward, because the banana shattered and then it melted and there were bits of mushy banana all over. Yuck. LA PEUX (49-3208) (43-47-1,196) of GHOST BEARS fought RILLION (36-5545) (42-29- 1,183) of THE CHADS. LA PEUX was defeated by RILLION in an exciting 5 minute bout. The janitors complained about all these little paper circles in the sand, but what I figure is, why not? It makes a change from blood, doesn't it? Or maybe they're little circles punched out of a sheet, if La Peux is a ghost? It might look kind of the same. VICTIM OF SOCIETY (55-3179) (48-43-2,197) of PHILANTHROPISTS fought 3 FISTED RAT BOY (70-6130) (37-51-3,180) of GWAR. VICTIM OF SOCIETY overpowered 3 FISTED RAT BOY in a 1 minute uneven fight. Well, what *I* think is, I think 3 Fisted is the one who's the victim here. I mean, look at the records. No victim is going to be standing there with a winning record, right? FUNNY BUNNY (55-1862) (132-152-2,192) of RHYME TYME fought TAIRIKIA (51-4247) (114-93-2,196) of SAND DANCERS. FUNNY BUNNY was subdued by TAIRIKIA in a popular 2 minute gruesome fight. And what I heard is that Tairikia is talking about having a rabbit-fur cloak made, and Funny isn't laughing, and that's GOOD. Some days I just have no patience with fossils, you know? Nothing personal, because by the time you're a fossil, NOTHING is personal, not really. And Tairikia is a fossil, TOO, and she should retire. That's a hint. PUNGENT STENCH (61-2458) (43-29-1,222) of FEAR FACTORY fought JULIUS (64-3641) (107-118-2,201) of UNDER DURESS. PUNGENT STENCH won victory over JULIUS in a crowd pleasing 4 minute gory fray. I don't see how anybody can be taken by surprise by Pungent, but you can sure be taken for a loss. Is this something Pungent's best friends won't tell about? KING LOVE (40-3748) (52-40-2,287) of GARDEN OF HORRORS fought NIGHTFALL (74- 2421) (139-109-4,181) of DARKLINGS. KING LOVE viciously subdued NIGHTFALL in a popular 3 minute gruesome match. If Nightfall has been subdued, does that mean the days are getting longer? I mean, they SAY it's because of the solstice, but maybe it's because of this? VINCENT CRABBE (74-3498) (55-50-2,211) of SLYTHERIN HOUSE fought KELOS (55-30) (88-128-4,199) of ROCANIS RIDERS. VINCENT CRABBE viciously subdued KELOS in a popular 4 minute gory contest. Which just goes to SHOW you what experience is worth, sometimes. Ha. JELIAH BIGABO (35-3676) (45-22-2,213) of PHILANTHROPISTS 3 fought WE LIKE THE MOON (25-5013) (38-26-4,186) of SPONGMONKEYS. JELIAH BIGABO was overpowered by WE LIKE THE MOON in a 1 minute one-sided bout. Everybody gets overpowered by We some days, because they just howls and howls. And the moon is full, so this is a howling night. So much for sleeping. GOSSAMER (35-3656) (44-34-1,217) of PHILANTHROPISTS 2 fought KIMO (70-6089) (38- 38-4,182) of FEAR FACTORY IV. GOSSAMER was devastated by KIMO in an exciting 2 minute brutal one-sided brawl. So now Kimo has a winning record and is buying drinks for everyone at the Wolf's Head. Don't miss it, because this is not going to last. SUPERIOR FORCES (33-4543) (95-132-2,241) of DUPLICATE REDUNDANCY fought CORT NIGHTJEWEL (78-196) (77-113-0,192) of THE DRAGON FIST. SUPERIOR FORCES was overcome by CORT NIGHTJEWEL in a crowd pleasing 2 minute bout. But, you know, who cares? NIGHTCAP (74-2745) (105-106-0,237) of DARKLINGS fought KYRLANIA (70-2327) (102- 116-1,240) of SCARLET KNIGHTS. NIGHTCAP bested KYRLANIA in a 2 minute duel. Pardon me while I, like, yawn. This is SOOO much "same old same old." DEER ISLAND GATE (15-3575) (63-34-0,223) of CONSTITUTION STATE fought TRYURLUCK (61-1029) (102-74-1,201) of BLOOD KNIGHTS. DEER ISLAND GATE handily defeated TRYURLUCK in a 1 minute one-sided conflict. Wow, talk about drama! DI just slammed the gate right in Try's FACE. Wham! This is what happens when you don't pay your toll. And the challenge matches--we got here a lot faster than I expected to. It must be the new year, my fingers are all fresh and full of energy, or something. SANGUINE (40-4135) (18-4-1,113) of BLOOD ANGELS challenged MUDVAYNE (61-3039) (24-21-0,124) of FEAR FACTORY. Up 11. SANGUINE devastated MUDVAYNE in a crowd pleasing 2 minute one-sided Challenge battle. I've been checking on mud vanes, and did you know that you can get one to warn about flood currents? It tells you which way the mud flows, see. Myself, I would just try to not be OUT in a flood, but sometimes you can't pick. BIONIC BUFFALO (11-6570) (25-8-0,144) of DO IT AGAIN challenged MARILYN MANSON (61-1993) (38-26-2,152) of FEAR FACTORY. Up 8. BIONIC BUFFALO subdued MARILYN MANSON in a 1 minute Challenge competition. It was like a whole HERD of buffaloes in the arena, and the janitors were annoyed but nobody listened to them because of it being so exciting. CLAUDIUS (13-2860) (41-31-2,157) of I, CLAUDIUS challenged DAMORETH STENN (65- 6105) (61-78-1,163) of SAND DANCERS. Up 6. CLAUDIUS handily defeated DAMORETH STENN in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge bout. Just what everyone expects, right? If I was Damoreth, which, of course, I am NOT or anything LIKE him, I would retire NOW and go set up that fishing hotel or whatever he was talking about. With golf, why not? ERIN (16-4165) (26-22-1,174) of AARON'S ANGELS challenged LOPING WOLF (56-1796) (88-142-0,180) of REDHORSE. Up 6. ERIN overpowered LOPING WOLF in a 1 minute one- sided Challenge fight. This was totally good work, Erin. Not as good as beating up Royland, but good. NOREASTER (35-3896) (22-5-1,157) of DIRT DEVILS challenged COERCE (78-1577) (30- 24-1,171) of FEAR FACTORY. Up 14. NOREASTER viciously subdued COERCE in an action packed 4 minute Challenge fight. Probably because of that northeaster having a blizzard in its pocket. That always makes people stop and get their heads down. RIDDLER (61-1856) (70-54-1,178) of FEAR FACTORY challenged SMUG BUG (55-2900) (61-118-0,190) of RHYME TYME. Up 12. RIDDLER won victory over SMUG BUG in an action packed 2 minute Challenge duel. That BUG. If I knew anybody who smoked, which of course you shouldn't because it isn't good for you because you can't really put an umbrella in a cigarette or even a pipe, I would get some tobacco and put it in the Bug's armor and THEN he wouldn't be so smug. Ha! SCOOBY DOOM (12-6021) (23-8-1,181) of HOUNDS OF HELL challenged PROPANE TORCH (61-2524) (35-33-1,190) of FEAR FACTORY. Up 9. SCOOBY DOOM was devastated by PROPANE TORCH in a 1 minute Challenge competition. Always always always take a fire extinguisher at times like this, Scooby. ALVIN (16-3927) (44-24-1,200) of AARON'S ANGELS challenged T-BONE (13-3139) (38- 24-0,202) of LEGION OF DUMB. Up 2. ALVIN was devastated by T-BONE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided Challenge duel. This is most-challenged T-Bone, remember! He's not so dumb as all that. SAMARIUM (75-3071) (29-16-1,199) of I AM SAM challenged MORTIFICATION (61-2333) (48-40-4,208) of FEAR FACTORY. Up 9. SAMARIUM was defeated by MORTIFICATION in a crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge match. I thought at first Samarium was a curly pattern, but it turns out that's a saramecium and not the same thing at all. I was surprised. REQUIEM (11-4472) (27-19-0,185) of BALLAD OF THE BLADE challenged REDFOX (13- 4197) (72-114-0,186) of CARDOW HUNTERS. Up 1. REQUIEM was bested by REDFOX in a 2 minute Challenge fight. And Redfox should retire, too. This is just terrible to stay around doing so rotten even if he DID win this time, and at least Requiem is still going forward. NEBUCHADNEZZAR (22-5821) (51-47-0,251) of BLADES OF WONDER challenged ROYLAND (56-3380) (113-71-0,218) of REDHORSE. Down a bunch, but it's Royland, so who cares? Um, down about 33? Something like that. NEBUCHADNEZZAR won victory over ROYLAND in a 3 minute Challenge brawl. GOOD. And here's our TV challenge, for which we congratulate Dartman, who has it: DARTMAN (33-7161) (47-20-3,215) of COLGATE DAYS TV challenged JAMMIES (74-2829) (95- 89-1,228) of DARKLINGS. Up 13. DARTMAN was devastated by JAMMIES in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. Oops. That off-hand teddy bear is tricky. And for the title of being Lord Marshall: ROMULUS (32-3047) (61-46-3,280) of ROMAN HEROES challenged DARLINA (74-2995) (59-60-3,216) of SAND DANCERS. Down 64. ROMULUS demolished DARLINA in a popular 1 minute one-sided Challenge Title melee. Is anybody surprised? I mean, this is the arena. The goal is to win. And Romulus does.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Scooby Doom -- You hound! See if I let you hunt on MY land, you son of a female dog. -- Damoreth Steen P.S. It's peculiar that you should be listed as a cat when you're plainly canine. Comrade Kook -- A kook, yes, a comrade of mine, no. Take that, you fiendish primate! -- Mouse Noyle P.S. I do realize that the only reason humans join cults is the hope of finding out the secrets which we mice are BORN knowing. Ha! Superior Forces -- Am I supposed to be SURPRISED? -- Redfox Royland -- Hmm, Debby Tonte certainly has YOU pegged correctly. -- Tairikia P.S. And you cannot deny that you are sinister. Kimo -- Er... was I supposed to be afraid of YOU? I feared another loss--too many of them already. And I feared that people might throw bricks from the stands, instead of flowers. Other than that... well, I do fear things, but mostly not in the arena. You know how it is. Tax day, for instance. I regard that with the deepest dread. -- Darlina Debby -- Divinity. -- Tairikia Oh. I was hoping for fudge. The really smooth kind, like chocolate silk. Debby Tonte -- Rodento Yoga only appears gross to those who have primate minds. -- Mouse Noyle P.S. You aren't able to appreciate the subtleties and the mystical dimensions. If they don't have umbrellas in them, I'm not interested. 6 December 2006 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 * Managers that abuse the rules of the Arena may be banned/transferred from the Arena. The player with the most votes for Chairman will fill slot 1 [Chairperson] and that term expires end of March 2007. The player with the most votes overall will fill slot 5 and that term expires end of November 2007. The player with the second most votes overall will fill slot 4 and that term expires end of September 2007. The player with the third most votes overall will fill slot 3 and that term expires end of November 2007. The player with the fourth most votes overall will fill slot 2 and that term expires end of May 2007. During the month that the chairperson's term expires the Player Committee will select one of the remaining 4 players to be the next chairperson. During the month that any member's term expires the arena will vote for a different player to join the Players' Committee. If you want to be a candidate for the player committee: 1. Post a message in the Duel2 Forum at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Forums 2. E-Mail Deke at DekeYoung@Comcast.NET 3. Send a Diplomatic Note to Doc LeGrand's Lab [ARENA 81] There are 4 steps to joining this arena 1) Send in a new team rollup to RSI with the following pledge taped/stapled to the rollup sheet, or transfer a ZERO FIGHT EQUIVALENT TEAM to Arena 81 and send RSI the following form. No-Tournament Arena (81) * I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a Tournament, nor will I use a Tournament prize on a warrior from this team. * 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. [Sign your name here ..............................................................] 2) [Optional] post a message on the Duel 2 Forums in the Creating a No-Tournament Arena thread http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=2296&sid= 94ebf69603ccaf5c7dbf1b19da799732 3) [Optional] send an e-mail to DekeYoung@Comcast.NET with your team name 4) [Optional] Send a Diplomatic Note to Doc LeGrand's Lab in Arena 81 with your team name and intent to join Arena 81 and abide by the Arena rules. 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/ There are already 29 managers already committed to the project x Apex = CAROLINA BLUE -- Cf PC -- Cf PCC x Bill (I think this is the same person) = CLUB CUTTHROAT x Blackstorm = DARK ENCLAVE -- Cf PC Master Darque = DARQUE AGES x DeGotti = CULT OF BACCHUS x Deke = DOC LEGRAND'S LAB Den = BIG LAKE OUTCASTS x Drake = DRAKE'S HARDWARE -- Cf PC Ghab = ASSASSIN NATION Grimm = FURRY FURY Hammer = AARDVARK HAMMERZ Ikillu = BATTLE GRUNTS x Indimar = AS SEEN ON TV II x Kat = KATHOUSE x Kellumbo = KELLUMBO'S KIDS x Le Pentarque = LA PENTARCHIE x Master Beru = CHILDHOOD HEROES -- Cf PC x Nomad = DRAGONBANE GUILD Nuln = RED IRON KNIGHTS x Pauly = ALE HOUSE MERCS Ragnarokwolf = RAGNAROK'S WOLVES x Rillon = THE DRAUGS x Roadkill = STREET WALKERS Seraphim = LEGION OF SOLITUDE Silas = GRIFFONRAWL MMA SlugBait = ORCS HATE PHYSICS x Terminator = WARMASTERS x The Consortium = LIFE IMPACTS -- Cf PC -- Cf PCC Woody X = 17 Team Rollups received by RSI as of 29 November 2006 Cf = Candidate for PC = Player Committee PCC = Player Committee Chairperson 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.
