DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It is plain that the city is in danger if roving demons can come out in broad
daylight (or as broad as winter daylight usually is, which is rather narrow,
actually) and compete for the Duelmastership. You mammals seem to be mismanaging the
situation.
Blue Goose

P.S. Favorite or not, you won't catch ME going around with a war flail.
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Say good-bye to BLUE MOON, as they are pushed from the coveted top
team spot by the CLAN O' WHOOPAS stable. Hey everybody, watch out for I RULE!!!, who
flew up 23 points in the rankings after mashing THE PRUSSIAN like a melon. Keep your
eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. THE
PRUSSIAN was overcame by I RULE!!! and drops 16 points. Our battling duelmaster BLUE
GOOSE has managed to hold the title, fending off ROVING DEMON's none too subtle
advances. Better luck next time, ZUKAL. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the
body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ZUKAL arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid BLUE MOON, please raise you hand. Wow. Does
ZUKAL really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause CLAN O' WHOOPAS beats feet every time BLUE MOON smiles at them.
Try farming, eh? And who is this MORENCI you ask, with 13 points and a 0-13-0
record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! I have no doubt that DREAM PARK
will be celebrating long and loud their warrior ALEX GRIFFIN's slaying of SLASH LARUE
on the sands. Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the
arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been
fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide
Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.
