DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Still here, still DM. Still cool. Hoffa, sorry to see you go, I'll have to find
someone else to beat on and sponge skills off of. I've got a few more turns before
I'm timed for the fall tourney, and if the old man thinks I'm worthy, I'll take a
couple turns off to maintain my adepts ranking for it. If my skills don't measure
up, I'll just run until graduation. Either way, I'm looking forward to sitting up
here for a bit. Here's to you!
Burnt Ocher
Duelmaster of Kaltos
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! THE MIDDLE WAY 5? Who? PARTY ANIMALS is the top team these days,
buddies! Practice pays for TIGER WOODS, who pummelled BEER GEYSER, to pocket 14
points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, TIGER WOODS was winsome, after
beating BEER GEYSER and seeing her lose 17 points. What can be a greater victory?
AUTOMATON has taken his place as the top, as KALTOS' new Duelmaster. Word has it one
team in KALTOS is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll
bet it works.
So much to report, so little time! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of MORE NEW TEAMS 2, alone and unchallenged.
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, PARTY ANIMALS scurried away from MORE NEW
TEAMS 2. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities?
Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, BELISS DON is the most challenged warrior.
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not a spymaster
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious
stupor.
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. Do not
despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

A note to everyone regarding manager names and manager lists -- If you're running a
team incognito, all you have to do is let me know and I won't put your name on any
manager lists. It has seemed though, that more people want their names listed, even
if they do not announce themselves, than the other way around. Also, I do maintain
the list more or less by hand and errors do creep in. You have but to say I've made
an error and no one will be the wiser (except thee and me, of course). -- The Saint,

ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
The last Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse was one of the closest and most exciting
contests ever held in Alastari. Such an epic demands a sequel. Therefore, Master
Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe
Slaughterhouse.
Where? Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow). When? The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207,
due August 19. How can you get into the action? Bring a team (one per entrant
please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals.
Rules: This time around the rules are very simple. Each warrior win against a
higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10
points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points. Wins against
NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points. Points are doubled for
kills. All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not
are fair game. Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked
up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion.
Prizes: To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it. Figure it will
be something pretty good. But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being
Slaughterhouse Champion awaits!
More info: Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider,
russtulp@aol.com. Or diplo Darque Forces (428) or Dynastic (433) in Arena 45.
