Overview
========
Imagine Wrestling - only with weapons - that's ARENA. Well, sort of.

ARENA is a combat simulator, basically. It requires players and human
input
to turn ARENA into a real game, but it's a lot of fun if done so.

Each player is one Gladiator (or his manager or whatever) and there are
two
parts to this game.
Part one is the fighting itself. This is done with the ARENA program,
that
takes the Gladiator data files as input and simulates their fight. It
also
takes charge of the daily maintenance and other stuff.
Now the fights have to come from somewhere and that is part two. Part
two is the communications part. Via e-mail the players have to
communicate. As in most other leagues, they might insult each other,
claim to be heroes and of course much better than the rest, and
challenge each other to fights. Once two Warriors have agreed upon a
fight, the GameMaster starts the ARENA program and then publishes its
output.
Sometimes, he will also have to send a Warrior a private mail, as
Warriors can increase their skills with experience and buy new equipment
with gold won in fights.

The EarthDawn League seeks for additional gladiators to complete its
ranks.
