I don't think Buddha was expecting the amount of red ants that poured out of the nest when he kicked it, thinking it was dead. Kinda funny to watch though.

I wasn't but [i]I suppose it's true that I didn't expect all five active members of the arena board to come give me a piece of mind[/i]. Some of you made good arguments. But I stand by my argument in favor of a lack of any other ideas to re-energize the board. So I remain of the opinion that having a tournament in the near future doesn't really give us much reason to maintain the forum as a dedicated independent sub-forum. 

I'd like to (continue to) invite you to share your ideas about re-energizing the subforum so you can change my mind about how dead it is. I'd like to see arena revitalized because you guys were right in your assessment that arena RP is a vital part of roleplaying. So, please, if you do have the time, enter the debate in my thread/another thread about how you would prefer to see arena RP revitalized and how you'd ensure that it's an active community rather than a near-dead 5 playerbase community.

I think the punkass who made that suggestion had best tighten their belt. If I meet 'em they'll get the worst Dirty Atomic Melvin of their life.

Try me. I'll uhh... I'll construct an arena character and challenge you to a battle to see who is better at coming up with overpowered attacks!
