DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Dear Transel,
You've GOT to be kidding, right? Me? The Duelmaster? Or is that the Duel2Master?
Whatever. Serengeti, you should be sitting on this throne. No doubt. Next time,
try purchasing a weapon that DOESN'T BREAK, moron. If you want the throne back just
challenge away, I won't avoid. I have to admit though, it was sweet to leave you
bleeding on the sands last turn, seeing as how your guild has been whooping up on
ours of late. I suck and do not belong up here. I am easily the Druid's worst
warrior to sit on the throne (this or any other). I am beyond scum. My only
redeeming feature is that I am really good looking. What does that say about this
dump? Come on, somebody (that means you, Warchild or Caseopia) kill me before that
witch on the Isle gives me immortality. Transel's honor is at stake!
DIANE, Duel2mistress and hot-looking nihilist
SPY REPORT
Welcome TRANSEL. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Hmmmph! I always thought
JETHRO'S TOOLS 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!
DARK PANTHEON is now ranked 3rd with a 2-2-0 turn. What's with RUNONSENTENCE? He
actually beat SCIENCE FICTION's DANIEL JACKSON, and walked away with 22 more points
from the fight. Laughs were big at SKARMY OF DARKNESS while they watched CATAPHASIA
clobber THIRD OMEN. He lost 13 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the
stands. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for BATTLE BEASTS' outstanding member,
Duelmaster SERENGETI. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was DARK PANTHEON. In my day, no team with a 420-324-25 would
scare me off! What's the problem, BATTLE BEASTS? How well I know the feeling of
being the most challenged warrior, ZEP! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back
to haunt you. Fighting is a better craft than farming, MACSEN, but you have to pay
your dues. Being challenged by BLUE FALCON, 19 points above you, is dues. BLUE
FALCON defeated MACSEN. BATTLE BEASTS calls this fighting? In my day... I hate
going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that TROLLOC gets in. He
fights people like DIANE, 13 points below. I thought TROLLOC showed great skill and
promise when he defeated DIANE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd
better shape up. Tough beans, BIG SLICK. That's what a 12-5-1 gets you. Some
people in TRANSEL think DARK PANTHEON was too harsh when they sent BIG SLICK (12-5-1)
to the Dark Arena. Them's the breaks, I say. AMBASSADOR KOSH looked pretty sick and
surprised when he learned SCIENCE FICTION is sending him to the Dark Arena! Whadd'he
expect with a 6-5-1? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
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

Sensei Jan -- Got the Dip. Thank you for the insight. -- Dincuru Feadagnor
P.S. Got one coming your way. -- Din
Din -- Sending Dark Coven to Transel; Dark Warders are going to Arkers to bug Yakuza
and Dark Disciples are going to Illis for the DeathFest. -- Liam the Goth, mgr. Dark
Coven (5??)
Jan -- I got that, thank you. Sending more q's. Wish you had stayed in Sunset. Now
I have to find someone to hang out with. -- Liam
Cross Breed -- Welcome back, Guardian. Hope you stay around. -- Liam
SKA-rmy of Darkness -- Welcome back, Rude Buddha. -- Liam
Holiday Horrors -- Welcome back, The Dark One. -- Liam
Scoundrels and The DA Wants You -- Welcome as well. -- Liam
Misfit -- Welcome back to Transel. You asked about what is new, etc. Do you mean in
this arena or all over? In this arena there is no heavy alliance influence, though
there are managers here who belong to an alliance. I myself belong to the Vendetta
Cartel. There seems to be quite a lot of teams who start playing in Transel that
fade away after a turn or two. Then there are a few tourney teams who do some
prepping but don't stay all the time. Krewe of Druid, Battle Beasts, Jethro's Tools,
Night Train, and usually Science Fiction play most of the time here. Dark Pantheon
is run by Doc Steele, I hope you recognize that name. I believe Skarmy of Darkness
is run by Rude Buddha, another fine manager. Anyway, welcome back and hope you stay
awhile. BTW, just how long have you been gone? -- Sensei Jan and Battle Beasts
Pandora, Second Omen -- You both are lucky our weapons broke.... -- Serengeti and
Blue Falcon
Liam -- Sent you and your friend many a chart. Hope you get them! -- Sensei Jan
Jan -- You wouldn't believe it, but, they all are not very solid. Turtlehead is what
I like to call a dixie cup warrior. Right now he is fun. Rodmosis has no upside,
Crazy D and Po'kin Out are the most solid but they need some work. I usually run
what I'm dealt until they die or I really get sick of them. I've had great stat
warriors, but they did not seem to have the luck to live long enough to be considered
great. So, basically I "run what I brung" and hope I out-strategize the other
managers. -- BPR
Krewe -- Hurt me. Pleez? Don't forget to bring a towel. -- Turtlehead
Sensei Jan -- I got a kick out of reading your advice to Liam. It is fun to see the
student become the teacher. Keep it up, we definitely need more new players to stick
around. -- Doc Steele
Misfit -- Welcome back! Too many things have changed to even begin to describe them
here in a personal ad. I'm sure if you got on line at Duel2.com and posted your
"what has happened since I left in 19XX" question, you would get pages and pages of
answers. As for me, I am married and I have a baby girl that just turned 1. Which
is why I don't have time to answer your question properly. I hope you stick around,
the game has become rather dull and I seem to recall you had a knack for stirring up
trouble. -- Doc Steele
Sensei Jan -- I will hold the throne if I can get my turn sheet in on time. -- Dan,
mgr. of Iron Brothers
Battle Beasts -- CONGRATS to Medusa. I AM the MOST relieved to see her gone. -- Zep
Bloody Easter Bunny -- I think that was the most uneventful fight I have ever seen.
-- Bessemer
To All -- Bunch of sissies. Being most challenged with a 6-11 record. You should be
ashamed of yourselves. -- Bessemer
Rowdy -- It's called cardiovascular conditioning. -- Punching Bag

DEATH FEST
The ferocious ghosts of former glories whispered across the wind swept sands of
DM 59; agonizing incessantly due to the diminutive demise of the Delarq arena known
as Illis.
Tattered banners and forgotten memories wailed in the wind for a dynamic death
march to dawn once more upon the blood stained sands of the Delarq slow arena.
The distant call crying for a declaration of restoration amidst the ruin of the
all but forgotten Delarq arena carried to the far corners of Alastari; drawing the
Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging to cross blades and
wage warfare among an assemblage of new stables managed by the Known and Unknown;
willing to spill fresh blood, while carving their destiny during 15 Rounds of contest
driven combat to be known as the "Illis Incredibly Diabolical Delarq Death Fest".
A lone cloaked figure huddled by lamplight in a remote outpost near the
crossroads of ElseWhere and ElseWhen; feverishly formulating the foundational
framework for the dawning of the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59, complete with
Gladiatorial Commission sanctioned prizes to promote the growing thirst for a Delarq
Slow Arena Death Festival.
Delarq Death Fest Opening Round debuts the first turn immediately following the
Summer 2004 F2F Tourney and continues through the completion of 15 consecutive
rounds.
Death Fest points are Won or Lost ONLY in the DM 59 Delarq Slow Arena [Tourneys
DO NOT Add or Subtract from the Death Fest Point Scoring System]:
Death Fest Scoring Format:
Win =3D +2 pts
Loss =3D -1 pt
Kill =3D +5 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Death =3D -3 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Dark Arena Kill =3D +10 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Dark Arena Death =3D -5 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Revenged Blood Feud =3D +5 pts [successful Revenged Blood Feud provides Death Fest
contestants the opportunity to cancel out 3 pts for Death and 1 pt for Loss; while
gaining +1 pt overall for the Revenged Blood Feud in addition to the +2 pts for Win]
DEATH FEST PRIZES will be awarded to the Top Ten Death Fest Stables on the basis
of Total Points*** accumulated during the 15 rounds of competition as follows:
1. Favorite Weapon Knowledge for 1 (one) warrior ranked Initiate or higher on the
Final Round to be revealed by RSI to each of the Top Ten Death Fest Stables
2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters and NPCs [yet to be determined according to how
many DA Monsters and NPCs are available in DM 59 for Renaming]
3. The Top Five Death Fest Stables will receive New Team Rollup Certificates as
follows: 1st (10), 2nd (8), 3rd (6), 4th (4) and 5th (2)
4. Renaming Illis Arena for 6 months plus Receiving 6 months Free Play courtesy of
RSI will be awarded to the manager of the 1st Place Death Fest Stable
5. Discussions are underway regarding a possible Special Award granted to the Illis
Iron Stable qualifiers who compete in 67 of a possible 75 fights during the course of
the 15 consecutive rounds of the Death Fest [Key Factor is How Many (?) stables will
be competing in the Death Fest without drawing away participation by current managers
in the remaining slow arenas!] Therefore, it is important for all managers entering
stables in DM 59 for the upcoming Death Fest to contact RSI as soon as possible
regarding their participation in this contest so that a Final Ruling on the proposed
Illis Iron Stable Award can be issued by RSI.
***TieBreaker is determined on the Final Round by the DM 59 Newsletter Recognition
Rankings. The stable with the Highest Ranked Active Gladiator is granted the
decision. [Example: Warrior A and Warrior B are both listed in the Recognition
Rankings with 87 pts; however, because Warrior A is listed in the Recognition
Rankings ahead of Warrior B, then Warrior A is granted the TieBreaker Decision for
His/Her stable!]
Opening Round Team Spotlight Bonus [minimum 15 paragraphs!] Each Delarq Death
Fest competitor who writes a Team Spotlight featuring their Stable (Name) and
Managerial Alias [Gladiatorial Names Optional] in regards to competing in the Delarq
Death Fest will receive 25 pts added to His/Her opening round score.
Illis Iron Stable Bonus [in addition to the proposed award awaiting RSI
approval!] Any manager whose stable competes in at least 67 of the possible 75
fights during the 15 rounds of Death Fest receives 25 points added to His/Her final
overall score [this allows each stable the cushion of missing one round of
competition; plus up to 3 additional fights due to waiting for replacement rollups
from Deaths suffered either in Tourneys or during the Death Fest contest in DM 59
over the course of 15 rounds of competition!]

TEN TURNS OF HELL:
The KLK Capture The Flag Competition
In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I
am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition. The competition will be
held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already).
:) We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep.
Rules:
-- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your
team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender).
-- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn
463 is the turn scoring will begin.
-- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many
flags as he can win.
-- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by
warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their
original team's lowest ranked warrior.
-- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that
turn.
-- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those
flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating
warrior.
-- Scoring as follows for each turn:
2 pts -- possession of your own team flag
1 pt -- possession any other flag
1 pt -- for each win
1 pt -- for each kill
1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter
-- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its
own entry.
-- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags.
-- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from
kills. (It's the Delarq way.)
-- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
(based on highest point totals)
Prizes: (what you've been waiting on)
1st -- 3 know favorites potions*
DA warrior named after winning manager
2nd -- 2 know favorites potions*
3rd -- 1 know favorites potion*
* These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used
on warriors with at least 4 FE.
How's that for paying out? (grin) Even if you think that it's all about the TC,
these prizes should be enough to draw you in. (You know who you are.)
I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans. Legion, Froths, and all the
others...this is your personal invite. Can you win? Can you survive 10 turns of
Hell in Jhans?
Note: Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible. Thanks
guys!
