I wanted to do this under the DM column since I was a 2 time DM until Lady Inochi the invincible came along. But I didn't want to offend her. I am going to try and beat her one more time, the worst that could happen is...a death. Here are my numbers as tradition goes; 17-13-5-17-13-9-13 ST Master in Decise and Initiative and Advanced Expert Riposte and attack. Fifteen skills in Parry and Defence, so I almost have a rating in all areas! Favorites include: Response tactic, Initiative skill learns, a H/L rhythm, and the WF!!!! Yeah, the weapon that bounces off Leather armor. I always thought my fav was the BS. Farewell, and good luck beating Inochi (fat chance!!). Nytemair SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of ARKERS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team LA PENTARCHIE was unseated this week as CHAMPIONS OF STEEL moved up from 6th ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-1 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon LA PENTARCHIE this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 5th position in the wake of a 2-1-0 round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week CHAMPIONS OF STEEL went 4-1-1 to move up 5 in the rankings. My praise to PENUMBRAL MISTS for their 4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! SIR DAMAS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested YOR DETHKALL and was awarded 25 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ME CHEAT U LOSE put down TIEN, causing him to lose 45 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has INOCHI in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old women in ARKERS seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city ARKERS. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ARKERS these days is ASSASSIN NATION. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding ASSASSIN NATION. Indeed it was PENUMBRAL MISTS. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. OUTLAW take warning! You have more than a few enemies in ARKERS. At the gambling halls I have started to bet money on LADY MACBETH. She has got the courage it takes. Witness hers challenge this turn against MORE MOORE! I must admit to some joy. Before my very eyes the underdog in this contest, LADY MACBETH, defeated MORE MOORE to claim victory and recognition. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that UGLY KIDD JOE posted a challenge against the more highly recognized MARSHMALLOW. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand UGLY KIDD JOE defeated MARSHMALLOW. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Strange what qualities come forth in the face of certain doom. NYTEMAIR has the town astir with the news of its Dark Arena victory! Look no more for LURID in the arena or on the streets of ARKERS. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one at 9-7-2. Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME INOCHI 4730 18 1 0 194 YAKUZA (541) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ZZZZ'S 4381 21 9 0 106 Z GLADIATORZ (519) -HELEN OF TROY 4603 11 4 0 104 SMITHSONIAN (245) -HAMMURABI 4219 13 9 0 103 SMITHSONIAN (245) KISERU 4717 14 6 1 99 YAKUZA (541) ME CHEAT U LOSE 4854 8 1 0 97 ORCISH IDIOMS (563) -BORZOI 3983 13 7 0 96 DOGPOUND (477) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THUNDAR THE CRUEL 4661 11 10 0 87 NORTHERN BADLANDS (397) TIEN 4672 18 14 2 86 YAKUZA (541) V.BALTIMORE-'W.BALT 4598 18 22 0 86 LA PENTARCHIE (481) LIN MINMEI 4875 9 3 2 82 YAKUZA (541) LADY MACBETH 4627 10 6 0 81 SMITHSONIAN (245) -BLACK LAB 4265 9 4 0 74 DOGPOUND (477) -WOLFHOUND 4158 12 6 0 72 DOGPOUND (477) OL' GRIZ 4755 10 3 2 71 NORTHERN BADLANDS (397) MORE MOORE 4864 9 3 0 71 LA PENTARCHIE (481) CHAOS INVADER 4867 9 3 1 69 CHAMPIONS OF STEEL (202) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KIK BAKET OW TOE 4852 6 3 0 66 ORCISH IDIOMS (563) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ZIP 4383 9 8 0 56 Z GLADIATORZ (519) ELIXIR 4815 8 11 2 51 X-FORCE (484) MAX VON SCUM 4737 8 7 0 51 NORTHERN BADLANDS (397) SIR DAMAS 156 6 3 1 50 CELESTIAL KNIGHTS (25) SIR HEELIUS 159 9 2 1 48 CELESTIAL KNIGHTS (25) ROCK GLAS HUT FUN 4851 6 3 1 42 ORCISH IDIOMS (563) NYTHIA 4923 4 1 0 41 PENUMBRAL MISTS (571) YOR DETHKALL 4850 9 6 1 40 CHAMPIONS OF STEEL (202) AERYN SUN 4811 6 10 0 40 LEVIATHAN (556) GOT CAT'S TONGUE 4855 7 3 0 36 ORCISH IDIOMS (563) SOHEI 4876 6 6 2 36 YAKUZA (541) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLACK WIND 4900 3 3 0 33 CHAMPIONS OF STEEL (202) -ZERO 4658 4 1 0 30 Z GLADIATORZ (519) B.A.S.H. 4909 4 2 0 29 LA PENTARCHIE (481) -HOSTILITY 4908 4 0 0 28 ASSASSIN NATION (377) -FAT CAT YUMMY 4863 7 1 0 26 ORCISH IDIOMS (563) ZINGER 4890 5 3 0 26 Z GLADIATORZ (519) LORD BYRON 4935 2 0 0 25 SMITHSONIAN (245) UGLY KIDD JOE 4942 1 2 0 24 NORTHERN BADLANDS (397) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -LORD TALIMAR 320 3 4 1 21 CELESTIAL KNIGHTS (25) OUTLAW 4888 4 4 0 20 CHAMPIONS OF STEEL (202) -ARAMIL DRALLION 4918 2 2 1 20 DEATH'S CHOSEN (570) MARSHMALLOW 4878 3 9 1 19 LEVIATHAN (556) MEMENTO MORI 4962 3 0 1 19 PENUMBRAL MISTS (571) SKUNK 4964 2 0 0 19 THE ANIMALS (576) RACOON 4966 2 0 0 19 THE ANIMALS (576) -CHOW 4552 1 4 1 19 DOGPOUND (477) MORNGRYM 4926 3 2 0 17 PENUMBRAL MISTS (571) EVATOR'S DESIRE 4954 1 1 0 17 TRAGIC DESIRE (575) DREYA 4969 2 1 0 16 LEVIATHAN (556) MEERKAT 4963 2 0 0 16 THE ANIMALS (576) BGAZ REDCLAW 4925 2 3 0 15 PENUMBRAL MISTS (571) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRUISER 4985 1 0 0 15 X-FORCE (484) -ZAERENA NAILO 4920 3 1 1 13 DEATH'S CHOSEN (570) -THOG SKULLREAVER 4921 2 2 0 13 DEATH'S CHOSEN (570) ZIPPETY 4889 2 7 0 13 Z GLADIATORZ (519) DEADLY DESIRE 4956 1 1 1 12 TRAGIC DESIRE (575) KYLUN 4984 1 0 0 10 X-FORCE (484) HUSK 4977 1 1 1 9 X-FORCE (484) -JACK RUSSELL 4877 1 0 0 9 DOGPOUND (477) -NYMIRA NAILO 4961 1 1 0 9 DEATH'S CHOSEN (570) MALBORGIA II 4978 1 1 0 6 PENUMBRAL MISTS (571) AROURA 4928 0 5 0 5 LEVIATHAN (556) -SIR GILMERE 157 0 5 0 5 CELESTIAL KNIGHTS (25) RABBIT 4965 1 1 0 4 THE ANIMALS (576) FROG 4967 1 1 0 4 THE ANIMALS (576) BLAZING DESIRE 4957 1 1 0 4 TRAGIC DESIRE (575) WARPATH 4960 1 1 0 4 X-FORCE (484) -ILLMYRN NAILO 4917 0 4 0 4 DEATH'S CHOSEN (570) SWAMP FOX 4971 0 2 0 2 SMITHSONIAN (245) INTENT DESIRE 4955 0 2 0 2 TRAGIC DESIRE (575) GRILLIN TAR 4979 0 1 0 1 LEVIATHAN (556) DREW'S DESIRE 4991 0 1 0 1 TRAGIC DESIRE (575) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Perhaps humiliating is a better term. Pshaw! -- Curator & The Z Man P.S. Holding our own at 1-1 this past round is simply inadequate and insufficient! (now @ 3-7) Lin Minmet -- You were simply too much. Another great Yakuza, no doubt. -- Lady Macbeth What an embarrassment to lose to M. Moore, one of the most despicable individuals on the planet. -- The Z Man Exsanguinate -- I tried to change you to Extinguish, but I shall have to settle for the consummate victory. -- Lord Byron Baltimore -- Well, someone had to do something about this cheesy French dominance, and as usual, it took a woman. -- Helen Of Troy DeGotti -- Loved the historical sharing. We suspect that only you and we were here (DM) at that time. Those were the days! -- Curator (Consortium) The following four personal ads were misfiled and might have been meant for last turn. -- Ed. Michael Eldritch, mgr. Penumbral Mists -- Well, now that you put it that way, I will change the way I have been playing for the last seventeen years.... While I'm at it, I'll rename all of my teams from "Assassin Nation" to "The Eunuchs." Of course, my comments are dripping with sarcasm. I don't consider myself the local pariah. I simply play aggressive strategies. -- Ghab/Assassin Nation Michael Eldritch, mgr. Penumbral Mists -- Quite honestly, I've been playing here a little longer than you have. You lose one warrior to me and go crying to the arena about it?!? You lost a 1 FE warrior to a 1 FE warrior. It happens, so get over it. -- Ghab/ Assassin Nation Death's Chosen -- The behavior of Aramil Drallion will not be tolerated by Penumbral Mists. He might point out your 33% kill/win ratio. I'd watch your back, as he might give you a good tongue lashing in the personals this turn. -- Ghab/ Assassin Nation Yor Dethkall -- You may have saved my life for a turn or two, as I'm the only one that can bloodfeud you on my team. My challenges for this turn went to you and then the Dark Arena. -- Lurid Welcome back, Blackstorm. I sure could use some help here with the Asiatic thugs slaughtering my guys. -- Le Pentarque Alain will be missed. The team is beheaded with the departure of Aujard the same turn. I can see hard times coming but we will rise again (hopefully). Ugly matchups. Argh. -- Le Pentarque Helen did a good job, and More Moore held the ground on a bad day...so 1-1 today... and 7-3 after 6 turns. I liked Richard, but well, the original one was killed in France, too.... -- Le Pentarque Michael Eldritch -- Oops!! There must have been a glitch! -- Alpha Omega Team "Tragic Desire" would like to say that manager Alpha Omega is new to DM II. Also, he wasn't impressed with his warriors' performances. Lastly, one's beginnings aren't near as important as their endings. So, let's see who the last one laughing will be...Alpha Omega... All -- How does one apply to an alliance? Diplo me if you would like. -- Azaziel, mgr. Death's Chosen Sin Hellius -- Good fight, let hurt!! Try again? -- Thog Swam Fox -- You're so cuddly I couldn't help myself! I hope there wasn't any permanent damage to your equipment.... Let me buy you a drink! -- Zaerena Outlaw -- Well fought! I thought you had me. Thanx for the lessons. -- Aramil War Path -- Good name for ya! Ow! -- Illmryn Jeremy W. England -- Ow? -- Malborgia II Black Wind -- Close...too close. Well fought. -- Morngrym Fat Cat -- I need to quit smoking. *Whew!* -- Bgaz Extinguish -- Requiescat in pace. -- Memento Mori Blackstorm -- Congratulations to Nytemair. I've arranged to have some of his special "dust" delivered to Andorak in honor of his advancement. -- Eldritch La Pentarchie -- I studied your language briefly in my youth. Rest assured that you are far more fluent in my tongue than I could ever manage to be in yours. Well met. -- Eldritch Ghab -- If you wish to talk, now is the time. Otherwise, I'll see you on the sands. Ut amicum habeas, sis amicus. -- Michael Eldritch Azaziel -- Looks like your team stealth power has been fixed. Now you can challenge! -- Sensei Jan DeGotti -- Over 20 years?! Wow. It will be interesting to see how they fare against today's fighters. I'm betting they do well. I'm also very happy to see your Knights here. You and your team here add even more esteem to an already proud arena. -- Sensei Jan Curator -- Do my eyes deceive me? Did you send Richard to fight at night? Unheard of!! -- Sensei Jan Eldritch -- How long have you been managing, good Sir? And do you find Arkers a competitive arena? Also, good luck to you here and hope you stay a long time! -- Sensei Jan and Yakuza Congrats to Aujard and Nytemair in their graduating to the next level! -- Sensei Jan Lurid -- Nice try. Are you coming again? -- Yor Dethkall Morngrym -- You are tougher than you look. Don't I look stupid swinging that teeny letter opener? -- Black Wind Aramil Drallion -- Nicely done. I would like a rematch. -- Outlaw Civilized criminal?? A what now? You guys are too easy. -- Chaos Invader I Cheat U lose -- Well someone had to do it. Way to go for one of your type. Hope I wasn't too rough. -- Nytemair Pentarque -- Sorry I haven't been doing more, but my challenges are not going through. Challenged 3 times this turn again. -- Blackstorm Celestial Knights -- Welcome to Arkers, always nice to see more managers around. -- Maximillian, manager of Northern Badlands Aujard and Alain -- Brilliant coaching! Naw, what Sasha had was just pure grit. -- Maximillian Eldritch -- No need to avoid my boys, they're always happy to beat, err...meet new warriors. -- Maximillian Elixir -- Your team will have a tough time getting revenge against me, good luck and keep trying please. -- Ol' Griz Dart -- I've been waiting to do that for some long time now. Ahh! that felt good. -- Sasha Bal Tor Man you'd think a Veteran Mercenary would have put up a better fight. -- Thundar the Cruel Lin Minmei -- Hey, watch it man, we're on the same side. Soon my training will be complete and I shall be nigh unstoppable. -- Max Von Scum Outlaw -- You were a mistake, I'm not the one that should have fought you. -- UKJ Thanks for all the welcomes. I have been enjoying my return so far. -- DeGotti Curator -- I knew I could count on a warm welcome from the Consortium contingent here in Arkers. -- DeGotti Death's Chosen -- Thog gave it a valiant effort but the FE is a difficult thing to overcome. -- Sir Heelius Zaerena Nailo -- I think I have a lot of other things to worry about other then me arm. 0-5 is a horrid start to one's career. But thanks for asking. -- Sir Gilmere Michael Eldritch -- I am sending you a diplo, I hope with this turn, containing the information on styles, stats, and weapons, that I think you (or it might have been somebody else, cleaning my desk always causes confusion, alas) requested either here or in Aruak City. If it was somebody else, my apologies, and you can pitch the diplo. -- Jorja 11 August 2006 All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights! If war is declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light! We have been quietly awaiting such a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians: DM 31, Attn: Timothias)! Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down "Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of Light 26 August 2006 The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared? Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm 4 September 2006 Civil War/The Crusades The next edition of the Civil War series is to be held in Tobir, arena 14, beginning November 25th with a round where all participating managers must DA all 5 of their warriors; in addition all warriors must be prefixed with an A an F or a D in the following manner: A-Broke Stroker or (A) Broke Stroker. Names simply beginning with the letter of your federation will NOT count as properly prefixed! Existing teams are welcome but no warrior who survives the DA who had prior Fight Experience (arena or tourney) will be allowed to score or challenge into the contest teams. There will be an equal number of teams set up for each of the three factions (Andorian, Free Blades, and Delarquan) to create sides as equal as possible. This along with the DA round should set up pretty equal footing for all managers. After the DA there will be another round where you can either DA again or fight your new, or surviving, warriors so they will be set up to challenge an opponent beginning on round 1. So as a recap DA round, turn 0, then turn 1 it begins with the following rules: The Civil War to be held in arena 14. - The contest runs for 10-28 turns (barring ties). - No tourney participation allowed. Teams with warriors participating in any tournament are disqualified. - An even number of teams per faction worked out by the Faction Leaders. No later substitutions are allowed. - If a manager brings in a second team and challenges into the contest he is DQ'd and his side will fight one team short! - Three factions will be participating: Andorian, Delarquan, Free Blades - Everyone prefixes their warrior with A-, F-, or D- (No prefix = disqualification of the warrior) - Turn DA: (The DA Round) November 25, 2006. Every warrior must DA. (Warriors not DA'd on Turn 0 are disqualified) - Turn 0: December 9th, 2006. There will be no scoring this turn it is meant to allow for challenges on turn 1. - Turn 1+: Scoring as detailed below - Each team gets 1 point for defeating a warrior from an opposing team. - Fights against warriors on your team do not generate points in any situation. - The team with the most points each turn gets a Battle Point (if there is a tie for the most points then no Battle Points are accrued) - The first team to 10 Battle Points wins the war - Managers of teams on the winning side each receive a +1 bonus potion to be used on a warrior on their contest team. This must be applied within a month of the conclusion of the contest and the team must have been active on the last turn of the contest. Anyone wishing to participate, and feels they can probably stick around for the duration (don't want to handicap a side, of course unforeseeable events cannot be planned for), should either diplo me at THE DEATH SQUAD(63) in Tobir (arena 14) or place a personal ad in the arena. You may also contact me via the Duel2.com boards! Let me know which faction you would like to fight for! This contest is intended to be open to ALL managers wishing to pit themselves against each other to try and determine which faction has the best managers! -- Street Legal LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS NYTEMAIR butchered SHEWISH GIANT in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
