 I have been tracking it a little. It was a very poor choice of title. Keep in mind that a lot of people don't read this board. It sounds like a place to go for duels?  If they had called it the furball arena.  Or better, the no ack arena, It would get a lot more action.

I'm kinda thinking this arena wasn't really intended to be an alternate to the MA, but rather a place to put all the people that have been frequenting the TA for these purposes.

Yes, but easy has a point.

Dueling Arena connotes a place to "settle a score". The "mano a mano" way to preserve you honor or right a wrong.

Perhaps "Free For All Arena"?

I enjoyed going to the TA and just having at it with a few like minded folks at an out of the way base. Great place to try out new aircraft and push the envelope. Lots of engagements in a very short time frame, lots of opportunity to try new moves and experiment. Easy to work on one particular move until you get it right (or realize it never will work!)

Something not always available in the MA.

Just my .02.

I don't know that it is intended as a free-for-all arena Toad.

The name is misleading, but I think the intention is quite clear.

How about duel and test arena?

Hey all,

I am not sure free for all arena is good either. When I went there earlier killshooter was working. Hard to have no holds barred free for all with that on.
