ARENA Restart; Rules Changes From: srt@aero.org (Scott 'Dr. Pain' Turner) Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1993 17:19:22 +0000 In the near future (no later than Wednesday, Sept. 29th), ARENA will be restarted under slightly different rules. The character database will be cleared and restarted from scratch. The new rules will change the challenging system and be geared more toward a "champion of the ARENA" competition. The ARENA will run for some fixed time frame, and at the end of that time, the gladiator with the highest win percentage *and* a minimum number of wins will be crowned champion of the arena. Summary of Proposed Rule Changes: * ARENA to run for a fixed time period (2-4 weeks), 1 update per day. At end of period, Champion declared and ARENA reset. * "Challenge +" and "Challenge *" eliminated. Challenges will be made to specific characters. You may only challenge characters with as many or more wins than you have; those characters must accept the challenges. * Impact weapons further weakened for play balance purposes. * Initial money increased; prize for winning a match eliminated or reduced to 1 gp/win. Your comments on these proposed changes will be appreciated. -- Scott T. Referenced By Up
