Here's the rolecall thread if you haven't seen it yet.
Sorry grumble don't think you can qualify for this. 
I think this is a great idea to move in. Personally I'd rather have the Arena get love & affection than the Atrium be spun back up.
The addition of 4+ social roles that aren't silky-tressed bureaucrats is also a definite plus for Allanak's prime-time playstyle.
This is all well and good, but I am more interested in the concept of allowing players back into slave roles ICly. We all know that the story behind the removal of this option was that certain elements of the playerbase were stupidly imposing their illuminated Western ideals about personhood into the oppressive text game, and that a slave's only purpose was to try and escape at any point possible. I'm interested to see if the staff team in their infinite wisdom still believes that us feeble players are still too ignorant to be offered the whole slave option as a general element to the nobility. Maybe this will be a test run of sorts.
To the gladiators: don't fuck it up! Whenever I play in a clan, I'm basically already a slave; I want to cut out the middleman. Don't ruin this option for me!
Also, I'm hoping to see the general development of Allanak follow the Tor Test: if something doesn't have a reason for existing, close it again. The cheap thrills that a gladiator provides already outweighs any function or influence that the Tor nobles had when it was briefly opened recently... so it bodes well!
Applicants should have no account issues or history of unpredictability.
