DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Transel -- Finally I am called. Sensei has her hands full looking for new recruits
for the Beasts...not having much luck, I hear. I new fighter will debut this turn...
Komodo...but he is very much an experiment and she will be surprised if he maintains
a winning record. Toad, I hope you start playing here again soon. Trolloc is the
last fighter of Sensei's that is of an advanced rank...but he has risen too fast too
soon and is finding many a challenge up here. Near future Throne forecasts predict a
vicious struggle between Steele's Pantheon and Holiday Horrors...blood will flow in
Transel's streets...out to the lake (Transel is an island my friends). I doubt I
will fight hereafter...I am not one of Sensei's better wastes and I've been lucky to
achieve this many victories. However, one never knows. Good luck, proud fighters of
Transel!

SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
TRANSEL brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. If this keeps up, DARK PENTAGRAM,
you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 4 in the rankings? THE
DICTATORS turned their 3-2-1 turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn.
Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see TROLLOC win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, TROLLOC
beat KHOMEINI and KHOMEINI lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. THIRD OMEN
challenged TRANSEL's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old,
in with the new, as THIRD OMEN takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you
think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. TRANSEL, I am losing what little hope I had in you.
DARK PENTAGRAM the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And
who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It
was THE DICTATORS. Ha ha ha ha! THIRD OMEN was challenged more times this turn than
the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. And we have HORNED
ONE in a challenge, going down 13 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought
HORNED ONE showed great skill and promise when he subdued BLOOD RAYNE. All right, so
I slept through it! Big deal!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
What does the TRANSEL arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Youngblood's Three and Out Contest
I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).
1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
eliminated.
5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
the contest.
6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
contest.
7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
active in the contest.
8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
contest, no questions asked.
9. Challenges are legal, up or down.
10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
<<<PRIZES>>>
As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
