The best part of the game for me is #2 with #3 running a close second. I
enjoy watching a rookie warrior whom I've designed strive to rise through
the ranks to immortality. Nothing quite like the feeling when a warrior
performs a feat beyond any of your expectations. Like a PS I have
(12/9/4/17/15/12/15) in Seam. She was 6-4 and up in CH Adepts. Got matched
against a 16-11 kill-basher and dusted him in one minute. I never would
have thought she could do that. When I saw the matchup I figured she was
about to die.

I also enjoy writing spotlights about my teams/characters (when time
permits). That RSI allows such a large amount of "storytelling" in their
newsletters clinches the game for me.

Alliances aren't really my cup of tea. I am in one called the "Inner
Circle" though I rarely communicate with them and am thinking about just
dropping the whole deal. Joined because of a group of "assinine" managers
(AA) were just getting on my nerves. Should have just quit the arena I
suppose. Would have solved the problem nicely. :)

I hate killing other managers warriors unless provoked because I know how I
feel when one of mine dies. The worst I've suffered is when my 19-fight
lunger with enough pol. pts (3 tourneys = 3 TV's) to go to advanced got
killed by one of Tex's Strikers. Ooooh, that really hurt bad. The lunger
was: 13/4/6/21/15/5/20. had ratings in every skill category. Two AD Masters
- ATT, Init, Master - Def, ADEx - Rip, Parr, Ex - Dec. He had 81 base
skills!!!! Never had one better. Damn just thinking about it pisses me off.
Guess I'll just have to wait until the Dead Tourney and if he survives
watch out AD. My fingers a crossed. :)
