                            RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP

     Good day again, fair warriorsss of Gateway!  We have returned safely to our Keep 
from our vissssit to the other side--I hope you are all rested and will be able to get 
your reports on your tournament outcome to your managers as ssssoon as possible.  (In 
other wordssss, we haven't ssstarted mailing it yet... <g>)
     The Gateway will remain open one more cycle for interaction between our side and 
that, as new recruits begin coming in--next cycle, be ready to welcome them with open 
arms.  I'm sure a number of them don't know what they're getting into...
     Five of our sssstalwart Lord Protectorssss ventured into out of the Keep into the 
wildernessss this cycle, and two warriorsss returned to tell the tale on their own two 
feet.  Captain Vengeance and Commander Teetotaler carried back Skybreaker, Shawn 
Thornton, and Jeremy.  It seemssss our battle strugglesss ever on, with ssslow 
results.  Nonetheless, we stand ssstrong.
     Within the Keep, Falstaff made a bid for the throne, but the mighty Donatello is 
not ready to part with it, and defeated him in two minutes.  Tagan challenged Psycho 
Scientist, who backed his brave words with a fine victory in a three-minute fight.  
Golden Bear challenged and defeated Reggie Jackson, toying with him for two minutes.  
Don Juan was taken out by Executioner, making him probably sorry for making the 
challenge in the first place!  Maimed challenged and got hissss clock cleaned by Jesse 
Jackson.  Furious Impaler furiously impaled Molly Ringwald, making HER sorry for 
hissss challenge!  3066 challenged Rage, crushing him in a two minute fight.  
Trebonius took on Ellegon, two minutes, Trebonius won.  Papa Bear challneged Fer De 
Lance and took the win in two minutes.  Doomed gave some pain to Billy the Kid, one 
minute, good-bye.  Sly creamed Thanatos in five minutes--a excellent fight to watch!--
Ursa challenged and lost to Unzaster Dizaster in a two-minute fight.
     The Roman Heroes were the most avoided team of the cycle; it was the Bears who 
were avoiding them to most--the "I'll prove myself to everyone" man Psycho Scientist 
was most challenged.
     Farewell for now, my Lords and Ladies!!!

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Papa Bear -- Yeah, I challenged Vengeance verbally, but I figured it was futile to 
actually TV challenge him since he always goes to the gate.  I had to find a way to 
work into the top ten, and I knew Christine was dropping out.  Now that I've taken 
Delbaeth's spot, I needn't worry about dropping out due to someone reactivating (or 
Teetotaler working his way up the rankings without actually fighting any of the 
warriors above him).  Now I'm up where I belong. -- Psycho Scientist, Paladin of the 
Dark Circle, Knight Templar of The Neon Necromancer

Caesar -- No, Vengeance and Teetotaler have NOT retired.  If they had, there would be 
two more spots available in the top ten for warriors who choose to test their mettle 
against the other top warriors in the game.  Sure, you have come CLOSEST to Doc 
LeGrand's original idea, but you conveniently adapted it to your own purposes.  Now, 
that is your choice.  However, to claim that it is noble and right is the highest form 
of hyprocrisy. -- Neon Necromancer

Vengeance & Teetotaler -- How about a deal?  For every turn I fight in the gate, you 
fight one turn against regular warriors?  I'm willing to meet half-way.  You? -- 
Psycho Scientist

Caesar -- You, a pretender who was handed his most successful warrior, have no right 
to call Doc LeGrand anything.  He is one of the founding fathers of this game, and his 
hard knocks helped compile much of the information you were spoonfed.  You only 
embarrass yourself when you ridicule him. -- Neon Necromancer, Warden of the Dark 
Circle

Caesar (gods, why are all my ads to him?) -- You don't know how badly I wanted to test 
Vengeance's mettle in the last tourney.  However, I have no control over tournament 
match-ups.  If he were to fight in the arena, I could actually challenge him when I 
felt ready.  If it didn't work, I'd go back to train some more, then take another 
shot.  Warriors like Vengeance, Donatello, Falstaff provide the benchmark for the rest 
of us.  THAT'S how good we have to get.  We cannot measure ourselves against the 
benchmark if he is never around.  My ad two turns ago was an attempt to get you to 
challenge me, even if for just one turn.  You are the only other TV from the last 
tourney I did not fight.  I'd like to know how I'd do against you.  Are you willing to 
give me a shot, or will I just have to hope to get lucky in the tourney? -- Psycho 
Scientist

Papa Bear -- Don't ask me... Psycho still has 30 skills to learn.  Perhaps this will 
start a trend that we all can learn from.  Here are Psycho Scientist's current 
stats/skills:  25-12-11-25-25-22-25, IN = 61 (26 lrnd), RI = 53 (22 lrnd), AT = 67 (22 
lrnd), PA = 33 (11 lrnd), DF = 56 (24 lrnd), DC = 44 (15 lrnd).  Will any of our other 
TV's follow my example? -- Neon Necromancer

Falstaff -- Hey, let me have a shot at Donny now. -- Psycho Scientist

Papa Bear -- Not only has Sly not maxed out in skills but his learning rate is way 
below what I expected.  Sly started with 80 to learn (50 burned plus the 30 Gateway 
skills) and yet only has learned 1.35 skills a fight over 17 fights.  Sly has a 24 wit 
and I have been trying to fight warriors with comparable or more experience.  What a 
joke. -- Doc Steele

All -- I have been keeping track of stat training attempts very carefully but I have 
only just started.  Have any of you kept track of your trains and are you willing to 
share the info?  My warrior Crystal Dove has a 25 will and she has succeeded in a 4th, 
5th, and 6th train without failing.  This turn she failed a 7th on her first attempt.  
A friend's warrior I know failed a 6th once with a 21 will and then got it the next 
turn.  My guess is the first 5 are at full percentage and then it cuts in half from 
there each train until minimum as per usual.  I am interested in a minimum train 
percentage as well but I have not tried any yet.  If you share your info please put 
what number train it was and how many attempts it took.  It seems like Gateway is not 
what we hoped.  Let's at least work together to figure that out for sure.  Thanks. -- 
Doc Steele

Caesar -- You are a ninny. -- Scrag

Papa Bear -- Welcome home.  Great to hear you're back on your feet.  See you in 
Connecticut! -- Scrag

Golden Bear -- Welcome home.  See you in Connecticut. -- Furious Impaler

Molly Ringwald -- I wish to welcome you to the lieutenants class... in more ways than 
one. -- Furious Impaler

Papa Bear -- Furious started with 98 total learned skills when Gateway opened, now 
he's got 140. I'm kind deadlocked now... hadn't learned a skill in 6 or so fights, 
maybe? I think I've gotten three CN trains in a row, tho'.  :)  I also have a sneaking 
suspicion that Furious might not learn any more than the 21 parry skills he already 
has learned, due to getting parry skills for training ST from 21-25 (I think most 
warriors don't). So perhaps in essence Furious is at 144 skills, not 140.  We'll see.  
He's also got 1 defense and 5 decise left to learn. -- Scrag

                    ATTENTION ALL MANAGERS WITH TEAMS IN ARENA 43

     The Karnhorn Empire has determined that arena number forty-three, currently in 
the village of Veastian, is no longer profitable and are going to be closing the 
doors.  The city of Lubana Ooling, in the Empire of Lirith Kai, wishes to give Arena 
43 a home.
     All Managers, past and present, of arena 43 must speak now or forever hold their 
peace on their opinions regarding this change!  Lord Protectors who graduated from the 
Karnhorn village of Veastian will be allowed to retain their allegiance to the Free 
Blade regional arena on the Isle--that will change only if desired.  Inform the 
Commission NOW if you object to this Regional change.
     Nothing regarding your warriors or teams will change.  The number of the arena 
and the warriors ID numbers will remain the same.  All that will change is the name of 
the city and the Regional allegiance.

                                                                 The Commission
                                                                 Arena #43

Lubana, a city of Lirith Kai

     Lubana, more formally known as Lubana Ooling, is a city of approximately twenty 
thousand people in the southwestern part of the Empire of Lirith Kai.  This trading 
city is in the jungles of the Naowei Basin, at the junction of the Diamond Trail and 
the Lubana Cutoff where both cross the North Dansho River.  It is a city of mongrel 
appearance, being composed of everything from mud huts through various styles in wood 
to the solid stone of the Governor's Mansion, and its location on a major trade route 
brings in a population as wildly assorted as its architecture.  The Old Quarter, once 
the capital of the Kingdom of Lubana, and the Government Quarter are both walled, but 
the rest of the city sprawls around a number of bustling market areas.
     Lubana is noted for its Great Market, which covers a couple of square miles (more 
or less); it is said that anything may be purchased in the Market at Lubana, if the 
price is right.  This city, capital of a border province, is the home of the Jungle 
Regiment of Lirith Kai's famed Border Legion.
     Lord Governor Kasel ten Djarro of Lubana Province is eager to add an arena to his 
city's attractions, hoping it will distract the idle and excitable elements of the 
local populace from the increasing tension along this border.  Would-be immigrants are 
encouraged to write for further information on this city and region, its colorful 
history, and its many bright opportunities.
