You can move to two different areas.  Most areas have three different
buildings.  Many times one of the buildings is an Arena.  You're right, you
have one move to explore and then get back to your arena...

Other commands are limited only by your funding situation.  Study, report,
enter and exit to your hearts content.  Further, responses to your action are
near immediate (it's still e-mail).  Within 5 or so minutes, the reaction to
your moves are mailed back to you.  You can enter a shop, check prices, buy
stuff and move back to your arena using numerous submissions, and receiving a
result for each.

Three things happen at midnight.  a) People in arenas are matched up with
others in the arena and assigned to fight each other on the following
midnight.  b) Fights planned the previous night are fought.  c) News and
status reports are generated and e-mailed to every player.
