DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Who the heck put that Mercenary up to it? I'll bet it was Lysistrata, a
scheming woman if I ever saw one. Because that wasn't a Veteran, that was an up and
coming, sneaky, underhanded, WORKING mercenary.
G.A. Custer
Duelmaster, and don't you forget it!
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to JHELUM once again! Hmmmph! I always thought SHOCK TROOPS was
an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!
Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! BLITZKRIEG is now
ranked 2nd with a 3-1-0 turn. What's with OMEGA? She actually beat JHELUM's
CONVICTED THIEF, and walked away with 13 more points from the fight. Laughs were big
at DOGS OF WAR while they watched PERICLES clobber HUSBAND. It lost 1 points and got
bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try as he might, KUNG-FU MASTER wasn't
good enough at persuading G.A. CUSTER to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...
Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. JHELUM thinks WATERWORKS and
their 6-3-1 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... The bums at
DIFFERENT HATS couldn't face the challenges from WATERWORKS! No excuse for that!
What do people see in PERICLES? His 5-3-0? DOGS OF WAR ain't talkin', but he's got
31 points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Hmm... More surprises must remain in store for me,
if CUBS FAN can return from the Dark Arena. HUSBAND was plum wore out after PERICLES
pounded 'im silly in a Bloodfeud. DIFFERENT HATS'll have to get a little better
before going after PERICLES again! Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting
younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
A Khalhums Dwarf? That's the only person who turned out to see me off? Sheesh, I'm
glad I'm leaving. -- Lysistrata
P.S. Especially with Custer as Duelmaster. Gods.
Embezzling Scribe? Can't have that, it's hard enough to keep a city going in times
of war without dishonesty. -- Pericles
Deacon -- Your hat won't protect you, fool! -- The Corsican
Attention ZalCon II entrants!! When declaring early PLEASE announce the name with ID
#, style, team, and team # of your gladiators! Thank you! -- Dameon Darkheart,

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.
