ARENA Status From: srt@sun-dimas.aero.org (Scott Turner) Date: Fri, 02 Dec 1994 16:23:13 +0000 As of the last update, the Arena has handled over 11,000 pieces of mail, 1000 matches and close to 2000 gladiators. 66 weapons have been shattered, 41 techniques have been discovered, and 19,426 gold won at the betting window. Thanks to everyone who has been involved. I appreciate your input and patience! The following changes have recently been made: * You may now CREATE only three new gladiators per day. * New commands: * ROSTER MINE -- Get a roster of your characters. * ROSTER TEAMS -- Get a list of the current teams. * RULES -- Fetch a copy of the latest rules. Use sparingly! The rules are long! * Team-related commands. The way teams are being handled was changed. Most of the changes will not be visible, but the following commands have changed slightly: * CAPTAIN is now used only to assume the vacant captaincy of your current team. * The new command "TEAM <team name>" is used to create a new team and give it a name. You'll be the captain of the newly created team. New teams are now given an id number. * The command JOIN is now used as "JOIN <id number>" where <id number> is the id of the team you wish to join. Old teams should be converted correctly, but there may be some problems. -- Scott T. Up
