I suppose I could plug my arena Xochithlan - 39

Just to throw some stats around...

Top 3 styles over last 10 turns are the PL, AB, and SL.
However, on any given turn, the dominant (ie number of) styles
are the Strikers, Lungers, Bashers, and TPs.

There are Bashers, Lungers, PRs, ABs, TPs, STrikers in the top 11.

Lots of big-name GAPPDA members, like Lunatic and Allah (the
swede guy).

If you count kills in the 'decent competition' equation,
then there have been only 1 or 2 kills per turn over the last
few turns.

Most teams are Chartered, there are maybe 6 or so younger teams.
There are 32 teams as of this month.  Usually between 25-30
teams fight every turn.

>decent writing,

Well, it's been down because of the invasion thing.  I guess nobody
wants to write with those type of continuity constraints.  The
biggest writer of our arena has left, unfortunately.

>active hatred between managers...

Well, not since that above mentioned guy left, since many liked
to pick on him in the personals.  He did write very well, though.
Plus, have you ever heard of The Servant?  He was around
for awhile, but left, thank Zeus.

There are a lot of GAPPDA members, so everyone is friendly right now.

In summary, Xochithlan is a decent arena.  Things change, so if
you don't like the fact that it's too friendly, just bear in
mind that others can come in make things fun.  The Servant may
return.  Oh, and there are a lot of personals.  People boasting,
questioning, threatening, and congratulating each other.
