One question I've always had about the Arena is which battle system is used here. T1, T2, something else..?

T1, the other forms of combat are for IRC, we're in a play by post format. We tend to favour T1 Eden, but pretty much any T1 play is permissible if your opponent accepts it. 

Oh yeah, for anyone wondering, T1 is basically paragraph combat where you take it in turns to post your moves, attacks, counters etc, all as 'attempts' on your opponent, without writing a connect. For example:

Hema steps forward on his right foot, turning anti-clockwise at the torso and driving his right hand, fingers first, towards his opponent's throat. 

As opposed to 

Hema steps forward and jabs Baldric in the throat with two fingers, crushing his windpipe. 

The second one is an auto-connect, or auto-hit, we don't do that. ;(
