The newby tourney brought in new blood from other sections, and almost everyone hides their arena stats, that's a fact. full stop.

The gauntlet mode you proposed sounds just like every fight I've had outside of arena. I actually did something like that in my DR RP, where I controlled 8 highly trained robots and their superbot. The 20 other player characters had to create a plan that minimized casualties and would allow them to take down the superbot. Some of them fought poorly and got themselves or others killed.

I really just think people should do more story-driven arena RP's and tone down on the attitude so people can find talking with people in the forum non-confrontational. The rest will come with time. Baby steps.

This approach seems to have worked for the rest of the forum.
