THe purpose of this post was not to bitch about something so much as to
ask for information.  I think the Arena is a wonderful game, and would not
dream of putting it down.  The part about beginners not having a choice of
weapons was not a complaint, but a conjecture.  Since posting this, someone
was nice enough to mail me the location of some blacksmiths... I wont post the
list right now, because he told me he is compiling one with the help of several
other people, and I believe he said he would post it later.  If anyone is
really interested, I could forward the part of the list he gave to me...

And to the Gertin Bros... Thtbtbtbtbtbtbt!! You guys are parasites who
prey on the poor and inexperienced gladiators who cant tell a REAL weapon from
a garden tool! :)
