DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Ah, yes, Karolvingar, Demon at Large. A pleasant enough fellow to have a drink
with, but the rules are clear: no standby takes the title, however well deserved.
And in this case, I won it fair and square from the Roving Demon, so no problem with
that.
True Blue
P.S. This is cool!
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in ZUKAL.
Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey everybody,
watch out for CHARLEMAGNE, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing
EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. BLU JON was defeated by KRAKATOA and drops 11
points. Well, everybody's pal TRUE BLUE moved hers record to 17-12-2 by defeating
VETERAN MERCENARY in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 5 recognition points. 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. Did you
hear that BLUE MOON was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of BLUE MOON's warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but
catch MEN OF HONOR's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at
running from BLUE MOON.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ZUKAL have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat
it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
I guess True Blue cowed the Demon or something. But he was...not easy, but I could
handle him, and did. I just didn't want to. -- Zulor
Krakatoa -- I had to make that fast, so you wouldn't have time to blow up in my face.
That would have been...messy. And I hate mess. -- Ultorino
Quite Frankly -- Are you sure? It didn't seem that way to ME. -- Blue Blotto
P.S. Of course, I squiffed at the time, so I could be wrong.
If that's a beggar, I want nothing to do with the breed. Sure, I could take him, but
I shouldn't have had to! Beggars are supposed to be unarmed wimps. If you arm them,
they're muggers, right? -- Blu Jon

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

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
14 September 2006
I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.
