[@Doc Doctor]

Hey there Doc! Here's what we have so far: I have one person who has created a character for the Spartan thread and is ready to fight next week, we have Stomflyx who has volunteered to announce Arena fighting as an event and clean up these sticky threads to make them more accessible to people who might be interested in fighting. 

If other folks who have participated in the past want to help put things together that would be welcome. I need help making the Arena section something that a person new to Role Playing or new to Arena fighting would be able to understand how to get involved and how to play, and I need help building excitement about the fights. 

I've also brought up the debate as to changing the Arena stats that show up on our Status to something other than wins, losses, and ties. It would be better to feel like it rewards people for playing not just winning. 

The fight next week will be between myself and the other guy who's character will be posted in the character section without his stat numbers, if you could read and judge over that it would be a great test to see how the fighting system works. In a tournament fight the judges would know the stats and the fighters would not, this allows the judge to have a less subjective reason for how they might rule the results of an action. This might not work, but this is the system I've come up with so far. 

I know that a bunch of you guys have done arena stuff, and you have an idea for how to set up fights and create arenas and all that, but the section hasn't been active in almost half a year, and when I reached out for assistance I got crickets, so I created an entirely new method for setting up a fight and determining how to judge them. I'm not apposed to working collaboratively with you or others if it increases the quality of the system and interest in having more fights.

Let me know your thoughts, I'm excited to see some excitement in the Arena section again
