Syntax: arena <create> Syntax: arena <planet> <name of homeplanet> Syntax: arena <info> <a short description of yourself> Syntax: arena list Syntax: arena bet <fighter> <amount> The arena system is fully IC, and it provides players with a place to go to fight one another for credits, respect, and fun. Death in the arena isn't real death, instead you get hospitalized in the arena hospital. The option CREATE will allow you to create an arena profile. Within that you can set a few things, such as your home planet and a small blurb about yourself, that others will be able to see. The list option will display a listing of the top arena profiles. As people win their ranking can rise. Ranking is all relative. The profile keeps track of wins, losses, and the balance of your wagering. If two people are in an arena's waiting room, one can challenge the other. When challenging they can specify a credit amount to wager (at least 5000 credits). If the person challenging the other person opts to bet, it opens the floor for others in the arena to place bets on the fighters. Arena details are broadcasted on the `arena` channel. Those who aren't interested in seeing messages from the arena can toggle them off by typing CHAN -ARENA. Betting, when done using the ARENA BET command, puts credits into a pool. If the fighter you bet on wins, you will receive the percentage of the total. No extra credits are generated, and this is to prevent people from abusing the system by rigging matches. Throwing matches for the sake of helping your friends to get a higher win total will be noticed by the Imms, and will result in character loss, the profile being destroyed and can also include account freezing or site banning, depending. Don't do it. See Also: HELP CHALLENGE, HELP ACCEPT
