Duelers of Swords,

So absence did not make the heart grow fonder? DoS we were all without for a period of time, and yet it is has if it never went. The crescendo of events that lead to a Coordinator stepping down, Loyals becoming the champions of the rebellion, Old dogs laying down and quiting, and the majority of power laying down the law of, "my way or the highway", did nothing to make anyone comprehend the priorities of the community. So the duels pick up where
they left off with; pettiness, bickering, and selfishness without any respect for traditions, pageantry, and the ways of the rings.

There is one basic tenet of the Swords, the blade rules the day. Tommorrow another blade will claim victory. Whether what that blade does with the prize they have claimed is good or bad is nothing but a matter of opinion between the victors and the defeated. If you do not like what is happening then challenge and stand behind those have challenged that share your beliefs. Where has Kalamere gone? Ian MacKenzie? Where is the others who were
bold. Daegarth and a few others still carry the flame of what was once proud. Fight for what you beleive in, and do not quit because others have.

Once I was scorned for almost prophesying what would become of the fates of the rings. Now the reality if evidently clear. Those who have stepped into the ring and prove their worth with their blade are the ones to listen to. And those who continue to still step into the ring to champion that which they believe are the ones to follow. Do not listen to the heretics who merely just sit to watch and past judgement upon others and are afraid to be
judged themselves. Manipulations of duelers against others should not be the game of skill played, but rather the manipulation of the blade around another's in the ring.

My comrades, keep faith and stay srong to the cause. Soon a new dawn will come to the Arena after the storm has cleansed the stained rings.

Ecore.

That was more then well stated. That echos pretty much what most people here feel I believe. I can only say i agree.
