Warning: This description alludes to a lot of the on-line Duke culture... if
you don't know much about the people of the Duke world... then it won't quite
have the intended effect. :)

Description of Submission: In the beginning, there was Deathmatch. Society
absorbed this means of entertainment quickly, almost naturally. Then came
Dukematch... a totally new level of intensity was brought to the battle field.
Oh sure, others tried to follow with this, some of these attempts to one up
the world's new blood sport caused quakes in some places. However, in the
search for the ever perfect realm for battle, the world turned back to
Dukematch. People wanted to bring it to a new level, bring it into their
homes. Leaders of the world united, deciding to answer the cries of the people
and brought Dukematch to every home on the planet. In order to do this though,
they needed one central arena to stage these magnificent showcases. Bringing
in the biggest names of arena development... Robert Travis (who had sealed his
fame by designing AnslemX for Timothy Edward Newton... President of the free
world at the time), Matthew Harris, Andrew Smith, Tempest, RockSockm, and
others. These great designers slaved for months, each to develop the perfect
arena, with just the right balance and play to entertain the hordes of people
who would watch the battles. One little guy, off in the corner, whom no one
had heard of, was working on his own little arena. These other designers
scoffed as they passed by him, looked down upon his dreary... gray level. Lord
how they intimidated him, pressured him. But he kept on designing, kept on
working... late into the night, after everyone else had gone home to sleep.
The day came, when each designer presented their masterpieces to the leaders.
Each one, impressed a few people, but the leaders were beginning to become
worried, nothing fit what they wanted. Each designer, crushed... knowing they
had failed. Matt Harris became so despondent, that he moved to the USA,
changed his name to Brad Wernicke, and started his own web site business. Of
course, he was never there, always AWAY. The leaders got to the end of the row, 
to the last person there. The people cried out "Who the heck is he!?!?!" Many
laughed, but the guy just stood there... strong, confident in himself. The
leaders sighed, and went ahead and reviewed the arena. As each minute
passed, they became more and more excited... "This is it! This is what we were
looking for!" Joe Wilcox, whose design had been dismissed as too Christmasish
ran over to look at what had come from this nobody. The masses began to cheer
and the leaders knew they had found their new arena! For the next twenty
years, this arena staged the most magnificent battles ever seen on screen.
Millions of people watched, laughed, cried, and had a grand time. War rose
to a new level... rather than killing soldiers... nations fought it out in
this arena... everyone everywhere could watch the "new" wars being fought
in the comfort of their own home. All thanks to "The Haven".

There now, don't you feel better about the violence in games today. :)
