No, it has nothing to do with the AR-15 rifle.... The original arena code was submitted to the ftp site by Kevin Hoogheem (Goon) and modified by Billy H. Chan (STROM)...at least that's what the credits say. I take no credit for their work. What I've done is fixed all of the bugs I could find (I especially liked the one where a player would gain or lose experience when killing or dieing in the arena), and made a patch that would apply cleanly to beta patch level 15. I've done some testing and found nothing wrong. The standard disclaimer: Use of this code is at your own risk. If you have problems, email the Circle- MUD mailing list. Karl (aka Flynn)
