DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The Khalhums Dwarf takes a fall (did you hear the crashing of all that metal?)
and I remain duelmistress. This is getting boring.
Follie Hanna
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of KALTOS. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. THE MIDDLE WAY 5? Who?
I'M HISTORY is the top team these days, buddies! Practice pays for JOHN BROWN, who
pummelled CROAKER, to pocket 20 points. JAD LADRUE certainly had a baffled
expression on his face, after losing to SOUL CATCHER and losing 10 points in the
process! Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by AUTOMATON, of
TECHNOLOGY, who despite a 20-14-0 couldn't overcome KALTOS' Number 1. So who was the
warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got
a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? If challenges were horses, HOFFA could open up a
fast food joint! FARON HARN found himself challenged by a warrior 24 below:
FREDERICK DOUGLASS. FREDERICK DOUGLASS of I'M HISTORY kept his wits as he killed
FARON HARN.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Citizens of
KALTOS, be sure to settle your debts with GRISHNAK of GOOPTA MASTERS. He's
relocating to the Dark Arena and has other things on his mind! You've heard about
FARON HARN of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. Death plays no favorites, and neither do I. What
was a 17-28-2 doing on the fields in the first place? FARON HARN of THE MIDDLE WAY 5
put away FREDERICK DOUGLASS of I'M HISTORY. Let's hope Lady Luck continues to smile
upon FREDERICK DOUGLASS! Will CRAYOLA KILLERS never avenge BURNT OCHER's death???
Oh brave(?) new world, that has such people in it! 'Tis new to me! Ask not a
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an
unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!
Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for KALTOS? On that giddy
note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
