Arena: Newbie Q's From: matthews@utdallas.edu Date: Mon, 14 Nov 1994 17:28:47 +0000 Greetings and Salutations, I know the Arena server was down over the weekend, which is unfortunate, as I had just started playing friday. (1) I entered the Arena friday night, and evidently was scheduled for 2 battles (one for each gladiator). What happened during the battle? Do you normally get some sort of report of what happened in the battle? I know that I had a battle with Johnny Walker (and lost) and with Jimmy Bean (and tied), but I have no idea what happened. The only way I know this is 'cause I sent in a "report" request for both my gladiators. Can anyone provide more specifics? (2) I trained to use my weapon (thrust, bash, etc.) and with a shield (parry), is there anything else I need to do before trying to fight again? I equipped my vest, shield, weapon, etc, so I think I'm fully prepared to do battle, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. I only have about 100 - 150 gp (dollars? I can't remember) left for each gladiator... (3) How do I find out who is doing battle and bet money on them? -ben Thought for the day: I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous... -- "I've seen things you wouldn't believe.
