DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I had to speak sternly to the Venomous Concubine, which is unfortunate. But she
MUST learn to curb her temper. Those who drive people off with venom have nothing
left for themselves but venom, either.
Hearts
P.S. I suppose my replacement will be someone from the "mysterious land of Kourhal,"
which is apparently a game in the nascent state. Or maybe even pre-nascent. I'm
sure I don't understand what these people are doing HERE. They're such, well,
barbarians, you know?
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! The boys at FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT left the arena dejected, after being
kicked out of the top spot by OUR HIGHEST HONOR. Good show! OUR HIGHEST HONOR had
cause to celebrate, after SOLDIER #1 got 23 points by beating DOMINO JOE. A certain
someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 1 points to
SOLDIER #1. (Discrete enough, DOMINO JOE?) VETERAN MERCENARY found out that OSKSI
isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one
team in OSKSI is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll
bet it works.
And how sociable are OSKSI's warriors? Come, let us see. Everyone is famous
for fifteen minutes, and DONKEY KONGDOM is it right now. Most challenged warrior.
Isn't INQUISITION 06B22 proud! As a confidence booster, SOLDIER #4 challenged MAUR
TOLIDAR, down 16 points. Do you also slay vicious rodents in your spare time,
SOLDIER #4? SOLDIER #4 defeated MAUR TOLIDAR with a point difference of 16. So this
is what OSKSI calls a duel. This will make an interesting tale.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. OSKSI, I leave
you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Elefont. 'Til next time--

PERSONAL ADS
Soldier #4 -- For so many useful skills, I will forgive your rudeness in defeating
me. -- Maur Tolidar
Dwarves should never be allowed to study Kung-Fu. It makes them nasty on the knees.
I had to actually kick the little bustard to get him off me. -- Yatzee
I have contempt for M. Chardinee, the mongrel. Interbreeding between humans and
elves is Bad. -- Sharan Khor
Soldier #1 -- If you want to be worthy of honor (an over-rated commodity, if you ask
me), you have to "pay your dues." This is dues. -- Domino Joe

The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared?
Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be
crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can
easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women
shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to
whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm

Civil War/The Crusades
The next edition of the Civil War series is to be held in Tobir, arena 14, beginning
November 25th with a round where all participating managers must DA all 5 of their
warriors; in addition all warriors must be prefixed with an A an F or a D in the
following manner: A-Broke Stroker or (A) Broke Stroker. Names simply beginning with
the letter of your federation will NOT count as properly prefixed! Existing teams
are welcome but no warrior who survives the DA who had prior Fight Experience (arena
or tourney) will be allowed to score or challenge into the contest teams. There will
be an equal number of teams set up for each of the three factions (Andorian, Free
Blades, and Delarquan) to create sides as equal as possible. This along with the DA
round should set up pretty equal footing for all managers. After the DA there will
be another round where you can either DA again or fight your new, or surviving,
warriors so they will be set up to challenge an opponent beginning on round 1. So as
a recap DA round, turn 0, then turn 1 it begins with the following rules:
The Civil War to be held in arena 14.
- The contest runs for 10-28 turns (barring ties).
- No tourney participation allowed. Teams with warriors participating in any
tournament are disqualified.
- An even number of teams per faction worked out by the Faction Leaders. No later
substitutions are allowed.
- If a manager brings in a second team and challenges into the contest he is DQ'd and
his side will fight one team short!
- Three factions will be participating: Andorian, Delarquan, Free Blades
- Everyone prefixes their warrior with A-, F-, or D- (No prefix = disqualification of
the warrior)
- Turn DA: (The DA Round) November 25, 2006. Every warrior must DA. (Warriors not
DA'd on Turn 0 are disqualified)
- Turn 0: December 9th, 2006. There will be no scoring this turn it is meant to
allow for challenges on turn 1.
- Turn 1+: Scoring as detailed below
- Each team gets 1 point for defeating a warrior from an opposing team.
- Fights against warriors on your team do not generate points in any situation.
- The team with the most points each turn gets a Battle Point (if there is a tie for
the most points then no Battle Points are accrued)
- The first team to 10 Battle Points wins the war
- Managers of teams on the winning side each receive a +1 bonus potion to be used on
a warrior on their contest team. This must be applied within a month of the
conclusion of the contest and the team must have been active on the last turn of
the contest.
Anyone wishing to participate, and feels they can probably stick around for the
duration (don't want to handicap a side, of course unforeseeable events cannot be
planned for), should either diplo me at THE DEATH SQUAD(63) in Tobir (arena 14) or
place a personal ad in the arena. You may also contact me via the Duel2.com boards!
Let me know which faction you would like to fight for! This contest is intended to
be open to ALL managers wishing to pit themselves against each other to try and
determine which faction has the best managers! -- Street Legal
14 September 2006
I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.
