DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I had the strangest dream last week. I dreamt that I had beaten some warrior, who
had just gotten his invitation to the Isle of the Eye, and became Duelmaster! Can
you imagine that? Me, Hotta Watta, the Duelmaster? Nah, couldn't happen.
This week, the same dream, only with a different opponent...
...then I woke up and saw a silk sash with the words "KOLACT DUELMASTER" embroidered
on it lying on the chair in the small room I have here in the Townsvillains
headquarters.
Anyway, it's nice to be "da man" for another week, and since that's the case, I get
to pontificate for the masses once again.
Torlec, shame I missed ya, bud. I hope we can get it on some time once your manager
gets back.
Munchies, I don't think you were expecting a title shot to fall in your lap like it
did, but you put up a heck of a fight anyway. I'm glad I could teach you a few
tricks of the trade; being able to whale away on the other guy is great, but you
gotta be able to keep him from doing the same.
I'm sure you won't mind my not signing a rematch just yet, because, having been
brought up the right way by Mom and Pop, I believe in "ladies first." So, my next
challenge is going out to Grandiose Greta, and I think this'll be a good one,
provided she accepts, of course.
And, uh, Novgorodny Vir, I'll pay for the fifteen beers you had down in the bar, but
I REFUSE to cough up even one copper for any of the ***CENSORED***. Next time you
come to Kolact, you're on your own, pal. Don't you spy reporters have expense
accounts, anyway?
That's all for this week, so keep your weapons dirty--preferably with the other guy's
blood--and your noses clean.
--Hotta Watta, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in KOLACT since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Phhbltt! Too much
drinking and too little dodging gave FEARSOME FIVESOME a 0-0-0! I got a good laugh
out of it! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think
I'm gonna be... Well, TERRAPIN STATION's 2nd moved them up to 2-2-0 place. Welcome
to KOLACT, ALASTARIAN IDOL! We need more teams who can get a 3-0-1 their first time
out! KOLACT's got someone new to push around. C'mon everyone, challenge CAPITAL
CITIES. Let's see how long they last. Laughs were big at THE MOONDOGS while they
watched CLEO clobber OJO TANGO. He lost 13 points and got bruised from objects
thrown from the stands. I'm sure KOLACT is excited about QUONSET, the new Duelmaster
from QUBIT. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be
nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses
of convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. KOLACT thinks TERRAPIN
STATION and their 441-327-20 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
In my day, no team with a 439-325-20 would scare me off! What's the problem,
SPRINGBORN? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, O.
PROCELLARUM! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Maybe
PRAETORIAN GUARD's THE HAND OF G-D is one of those guys who likes pain, or something.
That's what he'll get next week, after challenging up 27 to LENNY BAXTER. THE HAND
OF G-D found one way to advance: challenging LENNY BAXTER and losing, but getting 3
points. No brain, no pain. KEPLER didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he
received from QUAQSIMOTO of QUBIT, who is 22 points below him. QUAQSIMOTO perhaps
got his just desserts, seeing as he bested KEPLER and ended up with 88 recognition
points.
Warriors of KOLACT unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good
skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Qubit -- You guys are all heart. I mean, what do you give the fighter who has
nothing? Skills!!! Skill-Haul Supremos...most appropriate for most any occasion.
So easily identified, so readily accepted. It'd taken her a dozen contests to
acquire this level of competency. Assuming she had and does survive. (knock knock)
-- Still
Lenny Baxter -- Just call me the little ole Tinker. (was'is that, a 3-1 diff?) *tink*
*tink* *tink* It's even-stephen money whethers I'll be able to garner the rockhead's
attention or not. -- Greta
Quonset -- PPPpppssssseeeeewwww Challenges made with alacrity. Ah'm seein the
logic, but you sliced me-up mightily totally there, partner. -- Gracie
Obelisk -- Slip-sliding away. I'm the smooth-sliding one. "Vaporous Vanna" that's
not the handle, but it should've been. Sliding and gliding over the sands, my
footprints hardly distinguishable from the rakings. -- V. Vanna
Quietus -- It's tough bein an experimental, don't ya know? I mean it's not so
obvious that folks are pointin, but there's always some deficiency to overcome. Not
just walking onto the sands, but climbin outta the rack ina mornin. -- Gravel Gus
SOS -- D'ja see? -- V.
Late personals, but I hope the last batch of late personals from me for a while.
Missae -- Isn't that just LIKE Murphy, that I don't get to do a timely personal when
I WIN? Anyway, my thanks, belated though they are. -- Kepler
Lenny Baxter -- Dear man, I was distracted by an asp. -- Cleo
Shylayla Minor -- Good heavens, woman, what were you thinking? I blushed every time
I looked at you. -- O. Procellarum
Bling Bling -- I was so startled by a sudden loud ringing sound that I completely
lost track of our match. Sorry. -- Luna Moth
Watson -- Considering everything, we didn't really go very long, did we? Maybe we
should try it again. -- Tycho
P.S. But you forgot to bring ME any lunch.
Still -- Congratulations on Sunny Side, but have you noticed, since I
agreed to post the stats of any warrior graduating here, I've only had ONE go? I
think this may be a trick of the universe, you know, the way it laughs at me and all.
-- Galileo
P.S. Yes, I know, Nick is now the manager of record, but I'm still the one who has
to get everybody up in time for the fights. It's the dirty work that counts.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled personals. Thank you.
Quasimoto -- Does it count if you're short because you're a Dwarf? I mean, your back
looks straight enough to me. -- Kepler
Ojo Tango -- That gives me the most terrible headache. You can't imagine. -- Cleo
P.S. Probably your secret weapon, yes?
Pappy Whappy -- But why? What did I DO? -- O. Procellarum
Bling Bling -- Tcha. -- Tycho
Chief Greasy Hair -- Yuck. No woman really likes that in a man, you know. -- Luna
Moth
I hope everyone who has an interest in that sort of thing is noting the conjunction
of Mars? -- Galileo
Watson -- Way to move up the ranks! -- Sir Prise
Nichlaus -- We'll try again with Quonset. After all, one learned skill is probably
not worth a loss, is it? -- Qubit
Gracie -- Not bad for learns. Could be better, but not too bad. We'll try this time
with Quicksand. -- Qubit
P.S. And you tried to avoid? Don't blame you.
Kepler -- Well fought. Think I'll try again, even if I lose again, in hopes of yet
even more skills. -- Quazsimoto
Gravel Gus -- Tough old dude, ain't cha! -- Quietus
P.S. Nice learns!
Hotta Watta -- 15 and 2, hangin' on to the throne. Impressive. -- Sultan
Hoffa -- Are your dogs ever going to bark here again? -- Sultan
18 July 2003
To All Managers -- I would like to take this time to announce that my alliance, The
Association, is no more. Due to the dead weight managers of the alliance and their
lack of participation, DarkSpirit and I have formed a new alliance: The Firm. We
have taken on two members so far and are looking for a few more. If you would like
to find out more about The Firm, you can diplo Dark Spirit, Unknowns XX in arena 15
or myself, Sungod, Sadists F2FII in arena 62.
--* The Firm *--
Sungod -- Sadists F2FII -- 62
Dark Spirit -- Unknowns XX -- 15
Youngblood -- Wensinwasin -- 43
Tripwire -- Of Wolf and Man -- 1
26 July 2003
Citizens of Alastari, a bright dawn has risen. While you slept, a pernicious
force has entered the once-fair City of Aruak. It fought alongside their treasured
warriors, it drank with their fans, and it slept with their women. Now the masks are
coming off.
Warriors, be afraid...be very afraid. After years of Andorian managers ranting
that Aruak is the safest city in Alastari, the Frothingslosh Syndicate has selected
Aruak City as the home for its next epic 'contest'--Murder by Numbers II. Our spies
have selected the warriors for extermination, and the executioners have had several
months to prepare. Now a new age of darkness will descend upon Aruak, as the
Syndicate and its allies bring an entirely new level of competition to the arena!
Downchallenges! Assassinations! Small poodles as hors d'oeuvres!
The Murder by Numbers II 'rules' will be announced next cycle. However, we
invite all managers, from all corners of Alastari, to come to Aruak City and take
part...in one way or another. Help defend the honor of a long heralded haven for the
pure, or join the forces of change in their siege of the ice-cream and cake
stronghold of the Dukes of Nerf-Dueling!
This exercise is not for either the faint of heart or the weak willed. Blood
will flow, brains will leak, and beer will be chugged. Either way, we welcome you
with open arms and gleaming blades.
This public service announcement has been brought to you by Frothingslosh Epic
Contests (tm), the number 86, and the letter 'K'.
The Frothingslosh Syndicate

* * * *The Third Annual Turf War* * * *
Yes, it's time again for alliances to go to war! TW3 will be held in DM 47
(North Fork) at a date to be specified later--right after Crip's Incomprehensible
Contest is over...but I'm sure everyone wants to get their teams there soon! Here
are the rules:
1. Each alliance must have a leader declare the arrival of his alliance. The leader
will be responsible for verifying any and all teams/managers who declare to the
alliance he/she is leading.
2. Each manager, team declaring for the contest must have approval of the leader,
donate one Roll-up Certificate ($5) to the prize pot (send it to me by diplo, by
snail, or a note to customer service), and declare his/her team by diplo, p-ad or
snail.
3. Each team may declare one warrior as champion. All points scored by a champ are
double!
4. Prizes are as follows (mostly...there WILL be some things added as the prize pot
grows with entry donations--this list is not final!)
* Highest scoring alliance -- Rename Arena 47 for a period of 6 months, one half
of the total prize pot donated; roll-up certs.
* The Alliance with the most returns from the DA will get to re-name the DA
monsters for a period of 6 months.
* The alliance with the most warriors listed as style masters will get to pick
the Alastari city/arena to host the next Grand Tournament.
* The warrior with the most front page honors/awards will have the Arenamaster
named after him for a period of 6 months.
* The Alliance with the most front page Honors/Awards will have the honor of
picking the *slow* arena to host the Fifth Annual Turf War.
* The team with the most listings as Style Master will find out the favorites of
one of their warriors.
* The warrior with the most listings as Style Master will fight at my expense
for five turns (I will transfer to the manager's account).
* The Alliance with the most kills will be able to re-name the stand-in warriors
for a period of 6 months.
* The warrior that scores the most total points will fight at my expense for 5
turns (I will transfer $7.50 to the manager's account).
* The team that scores the most total points will receive an extra share of
roll-up certs from the prize pot.
There may be more categories to come, and the prize pot still has to be
divided...I'm open to category/prize ideas--and further donations to the prize pot.
The contest will run for *TEN* turns; prizes will be awarded at the end of the
11th turn.
Scoring will be as follows:
* 5 points per fight, doubled for each of the following conditions met:
-- Two Alliance -- Champion
-- Challenge -- Two Champions
-- Bloodfeud -- Challenger losing
-- Kill
(Note: DA losses are exempt, but DA wins will be *tripled*!!! Ex: Happy
Slasher goes to the DA and dies, no points are lost. If he wins, his team scores 60
points! If he was a champ, he scores 120 points!)
Use the following chart to calculate scores:
Conditions Met: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Points Per Fight: 5 10 20 40 80 160 320 640
* Awards/Honors and Style Masters will each be awarded points also. Find the total
number of each (do note add Awards and Style Masters together) and consult the graph
below. Champs that score an award or style master count as two.
1 -- 5 7 -- 320
2 -- 10 8 -- 640
3 -- 20 9 -- 1280
4 -- 40 10 -- 2560
5 -- 80 11 -- 5280
6 -- 100 (x2 for each extra)
Note -- These categories *count as "triple"*--they will be figured for each team,
*AND* again for each alliance *as well as* for each warrior!
* Each and every mention in the Spy Report is worth 5 points...period.
* TVs will be scored on the same scale as Awards/Style Masters, but the total points
will be x10. TC's will be scored as TV's, but x10 more.
Number of TV/TC's Points Scored (TV/TC)
1 50/ 500
2 100/1000
3 200/2000
4 400/4000
+ x2/ x2 (for each extra)
Each alliance will start with 5000 points, scores for *fights* will be added to
the winner's total *AND* deducted from the losers.
Come one and all, defend your turf and the honor of your alliance...or your
own!

Assurnasirbanipal invites you to Talcama to participate in the third BATTLE
ROYAL contest. It is a Delarquan contest so brutal that even some of Talcama's most
notable managers will refuse to participate. The rules are simpler than any other
contest: You may not avoid any other contest team. There are no silly rules for who
can and can't compete. Any team in Talcama is eligible to compete. The scoring is
also quite simple (+1 for a win, +1 for a kill (+1 for the win), -1 for a loss) and
the first team to reach 25 points is the winner.
Scoring will be live--the results for the turn posted in the newsletter. The
winner will be able to fight their contest team in Talcama for free for 6 months but
more importantly will win a contest against some of the best managers who play the
game in one of the hardest contests in the game.
First turn for BATTLE ROYAL 3 is Talcama Turn 465, which is due August 30.
