DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It has been grand to represent this fine arena as your Duelmaster for so long. It is
time to step aside and let some new blood in! Farewell, fair Arkers! -- Inochi
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ARKERS. Uncool, CHAMPIONS OF STEEL. I
mean 0-5-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training
practice! The guys at WARRIOR POETS like really pulled together to get a 4-1-1 this
turn, moving up by 8. What was the name of that team who got 3-1-0 this turn for a
total 151-120-13 you ask? (Sure) NORTHERN BADLANDS' their name, and fighting's
their game! MVP award for THUNDAR THE CRUEL? NORTHERN BADLANDS' proud of him after
beating KISERU and getting 20 points. Talk about yer major upsets! GRILLIN TAR's
match with DIOCLETIAN cost him a loss of 16 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster
is being unfair? I think INOCHI should let HELEN OF TROY be Duelmaster for a while,
without fighting about it. Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his
teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of TRAGIC DESIRE must
be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that
I don't? Is there some deep dark secret why DEATH'S CHOSEN's been avoiding TRAGIC
DESIRE so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Can X-FORCE's BRUISER be
more popular than me? She was challenged the most, but is that really the same?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?
Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Blackstorm -- You and your French Collection seem to want to continue. Despite the
fact that you are kicking our buttocks and making us wear silly berets, we shall
accept the challenge. Lord Byron's lucky win over Black Wind improves the record to
a still gross 5-9. To the sands.... (and T219) -- Curator and The Z Man
The Zoo Keeper -- Any style that is able to heft the LG can use it off-hand as a
shield. Primary weapon? Check Terrablood, but surely the BA and TP are two. --
Curator
Azaziel -- Heck if we know when the VC/DC/AOL are going to really get it on here.
And "The Light", who knows? Looks like we are ALL waiting for the excitement, eh? --
Curator
Michael E -- The "two-shield" styles, as you call them, are around to stay. Learn to
use them to your advantage. -- Curator
Blackstorm and Pentarque -- Of course you should lay off us! Why, we're old men.
You should be calling us "Sir", and polishing our shoes, and emptying our bed pans,
and keeping our prune juice cold. -- The Z Man & Curator (Old Fogies)
DeGotti -- Implying? You MAY be old, but we KNOW we are! -- Curator
P.S. Now, how about a little Jack Daniels, a couple of Cubans, and some pretties to
keep us company?
Thundar The Cruel -- You know nothing about cruel. Just ask Shakespeare. -- Lady
Macbeth
Black Wind -- Hmmmmmm. Let some dark wind out of the sails, did I, or was that your
flatulation I detected? Score one for the old men. -- Lord Byron
Kylun -- Whew! Was there a fight? Was I ever in it? -- Zippety
Intent Desire -- This day was mine. -- Swamp Fox
Aramil Drallion -- Well, you certainly gave it a try for a long time. Go work on
your endurance, and come on back, and we will do it again. -- Zinger
Inochi -- Little did I expect to win, but I was glad to have had the opportunity.
You are a GREAT Duelmaster. It is my honor to graduate with you. -- ZZZZZ's
Kiseru -- Kiseru your you know what! -- Hammurabi
Me Cheat U Lose -- Oh no you don't! Bree won't allow it! -- Helen Of Troy
So...the Consortiumites took the last turn with a decent 1-0, but the victory is
ours; the Frenchies won with a splendid 9-5!! The United Nations won't be needed, no
corpse was laid on the ground, and we can return to our usual business. Just keep in
mind that France is beautiful. -- Le Pentarque
Blackstorm -- The sciatic thugs are everywhere, be careful.
Goodbye, Inochi!! Enjoy ADM!
Well, I wouldn't have challenged you, Tien, but I can imagine Alain smiling wherever
he is now.... -- Baltimore
D.K. Blackstorm -- Hello, brother. I'm glad I made it over this way. Arkers seems
like a wonderful atmosphere! -- Dark Knight Toker
Le Pentarque -- Good to see you too! -- D.K. Toker
Curator -- If you're anywhere near as cool as the other Consortium managers, then you
and I will get along real well! (wink) -- Toker
Ghab -- I see you also. I do enjoy fighting with all you old timers! (grin) -- D.K.
Toker
Max and Sensei Jan -- Hello, looks like you have a wonderful arena here. Looking
forward to many years of enjoyment! -- D.K. Toker
All -- It is I, Dark Knight Toker of the Desolate Empire Alliance. I will be
managing the Warrior Poet's stable here in Fair Arkers. I do my best to be honorable
no matter what region I'm fighting in and will act honorably until honor is thrown to
the wind by others. So until then, good luck and let's cross blades. -- Dark Toker
Zookeeper -- My apologies for the loss of "Frog." It was not my intention to kill
him. I will await your bloodfeud! -- Juvenal, warrior poets (578)
Azaziel -- This "war" was coming to a head in DM 31 "Chimlevtal"! However, it looks
as if the VC have disbanded and are no longer an entity. As to the "AOL," they have
never actually shown up anywhere. So your guess is as good as mine! So far it
doesn't look like the war is going to continue, but who knows. We will see! -- D.K.
Toker
D.K. Blackstorm -- I finally made it here. This place looks calm compared to all the
other arenas. Just the R&R that I need. Almost like a vacation! -- D.K. Toker
Max -- Hello! -- D.K. Toker
P.S. Good luck with your new venture, but what does DJI stand for?
Jan -- Hi! Who are you with now? And what happened to your Salem's Lot in 47? --
D.K. Toker
Zookeeper & Azaziel -- Diplos are en route. Have talked to Blackstorm about
probating you both. Diplos will answer more. Salute! -- Dark Knight Toker
All -- My p-ads must have been eaten by HAL as they didn't run last turn. I will
introduce myself again. It is I, Toker, the ever-so-Lovable Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire! (grin) I will be managing the Warrior Poets (578) here in Arkers.
I would like to brag and say my "Poets" are not only good with sword, but are
warriors in the Literary sense. However, that is not the case. They are named for
their easy grace and seductive dance for the move like "Warrior Poets"! That said, I
look forward to honorable play and although originally from the Delarquan region of
Alastari, I tend to follow the rules of the region I'm in! See you all on the sands!
-- Dark Knight Toker, mgr. Warrior Poets (578) Desolate Empire Alliance
Curator -- As always it is a pleasure to be in the presence of a Consortium manager.
I hope you're as enjoyable as the other Consortiumites. Well, with the exception of
Lady Fern! She and her Flower Girls have me just plain worn out after the "Quest"!
(wink) -- D.K. Toker
Le Pentarque -- Well met and salute! As always it is good to see you! Where have
you been in 18? Just missed you is all! (grin) -- D.K. Toker
Black Storm -- Why has it taken you so long to contact me? I don't do tournaments.
I am not set up for it. If I can't do it by regular mail, I don't do it. I know, I
am still back in the Stone Age, as, a new player in Duel 2, I was trying to find out
how alliances work in this game. But since even allies' characters, when they match
up, will try to eliminate each other, I do not see any reason to form an alliance. --
The Zoo Keeper, mgr. of The Animals
In honor of Sir Gilmere's first victory and our first turn over 50% in over 2 decades
I would like to invite everyone down to the Dragon's Tooth Tavern to celebrate with
us. -- DeGotti
Sir Heelius the most challenged warrior? Looks like I might have to fight him
sporadically now to try and get favorable match ups. -- DeGotti
Thog -- Once again a valiant effort. We at Celestial Knights salute you. -- Sir
Heelius
DeGotti -- Salut! You've overcome our bloodfeud, so come down to "The Last Stop" and
I'll buy the drinks! To our future on the sands! And good luck at the Tourney.
Hope to see you there. -- Azaziel
Sir Heelius -- I feel like hell! -- Thog
Black Storm -- As tempting as it sounds, I don't see my stable marching around in
Knightly armor. Perhaps though. We could discover who this, Virgo, Goldpigeon is
and give him a proper greeting! I welcome your thoughts on this matter, as you are
well respected on the Styx! -- Azaziel
Inochi -- God's speed and good luck (not that you'll need it). You've taught us
much. -- Gladiators of Death's Chosen
ZZZZ's -- Wake up! You're going to the "Isle"! Congrats. We hope to see you again!
-- Gladiators of Death's Chosen
Warrior Poets -- Welcome to Arkers. We look forward to hearing you recite your
victories in the team spotlight. -- Azaziel, mgr. Death's Chosen
All -- I won! I FINALLY WON! HURRAY! -- Illmryn
Alpha Omega -- As your name states, whatever starts, also ends! -- The Mad Prophet
Zinger -- So that's how to fight against a wall? Nice weapons! You need special
training to do that? -- Aramil
U.K.J. -- I don't think you're ugly. I think you're adorable! Good fight! -- Nymira
All -- Good luck in the tourney. May Arkers dominate! -- Azaziel
Max Von Scum -- You gave me a good run for it, despite my edge. -- Nythia
Bruiser -- You are a bit too intense for my tastes...come to think of it, you remind
me of Memento. -- Bgaz Redclaw
Skunk -- You put up a much more tenacious fight than I had anticipated. Well fought!
-- Morngrym
Outlaw -- Why would you handicap yourself with such a weapon selection? If not for
that, you may have had me. -- Memento Mori
Marshmallow -- Welcome to Arkers. May your stay be interesting. -- Michael Eldritch,
mgr. of Penumbral Mists
Curator -- I see how my words could be considered a bit harsh...but I hold no
particular ill will, and if Ghab will accept my apologies, then consider them
offered. -- Michael Eldritch
P.S. Kennelworth asked me to send his regards.
Zoo Keeper -- Large Shield: ST 11+, SZ 7+, WT 5+, DF 5+; Well suited to Basher and
Total Parry styles as primary, secondary is on you. If you'd like a basic breakdown,
diplo me. Otherwise, check out the Terrablood site (www.terrablood.com) for lots of
helpful charts. -- Michael Eldritch
Elixir -- That's the spirit, but I'd be careful. -- Ol Griz
Lady Macbeth -- You used and abused me woman, do it again. -- Thundar the Cruel
Nythia -- That was the last straw, I'm sending myself to the DA. Who could live with
the shame of it. -- Max Von Scum
Nymira Nailo -- Shall we try that again soon? -- UKJ

In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce
the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders". The
group consists of the following members:
Doc LeGrande
Apex
Street Legal
Carnage
Ghoti
Roadkill
Valamond
This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this
alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We
fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager
brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We
have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on
the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and
respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched.
Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their
prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those
that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land.
We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from
Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus
arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land.
Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we
are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We
have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are.

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light:
Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your
pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more
than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52,
REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari
know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

Thanks.
