DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hoo-ray and away and the sail you see receding will be me in all my fine-er-y.
Estrella -- Would'cha believe somewheres in my daintier moments I'm an aficionado of
the light epee? Go figure. I knew an innate ability to spear olives at the martini
mixers would come back to haunt my more serious pursuits. -- Sadie, Duelmistress
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, KOLACT? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see WALDO win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, WALDO beat
QUASIMODO and QUASIMODO lost 10 points. You're breakin' my heart. Going for broke
or broken, our Duelmaster DARK CHAMPION Dark Arena Challenged this turn. And if
variety is the spice of life, KOLACT may be getting bland, as SADIE stays top dog in
the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You
want to know what's new, don't you, KOLACT?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Whoa! I'll even buy SADIE a drink
tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on hers good
side! Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these
kinds of weapons?
What does the KOLACT arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Sadie, LU 12(+1)-7-10-15-21-9-11 EP VH/VH. It's the quiet ones that sneak up
on you. Not much to look at, pretty much sidling below the radars, she turned out to
be a real tough fighter, and...ummm, I guess we'll be missing her. -- Still, the
Distiller mgr. Stable Springborn
P.S. Did I mention she killed the Dark Arena entry, one time, when I was on a bent
to modify my squad?
Actaon -- Straighten that spine, it's not all that bad. Now, drink your drink and
watch the show, <nudge> suppooooosed to be a laugh riot. C'mon, smile dag-blast it.
(works both ways) Against the assault of laughter...nothing can stand. -- Sardine
Sally
Quip -- Ya know, I think Wanda likes me...not only'd she smack me in the most lady-
like manner fer not getting outta her way fast enough, buuuut also give me a properly
dainty cuff-a-congrats fer upholdin style honor. -- Waldo
The Question -- I had the answer, it was right there in my hand and you changed the
question, Question. -- Wanda
Sadoe -- Damn straight I won't "beg" for mercy! You should give it freely or not at
all. Congratulations. -- Estrella
P.S. Your fulsome praise in your column leaves me covered in confusion.
Sardine Sally -- I'm probably gonna burp fish for a week, and you KNOW what that'll
do to my social life, dammit. -- Actaon
Sir Cophagus -- Damn. I didn't realize you were contagious and lethal. -- Ghost of
Callisto
Sir Cumference -- I knew if I applied my mind...and other things to the problem, I
would find a way around you. -- Cynica
Sevade -- Damn, another day bites the dust. -- Ghost of Tiusday
Ed. -- With...lemon juice? Hmm. Garlic and lemon, perhaps, on really snappy
tortilla chips. Sort of a Margarita Chip type of deal. Hmm. There might be a
market for something like that.... -- Cynica
P.S. And chile, of course.
I've had 'em with lemon, or maybe it was lime, and chili. Nothing was said
about garlic, but that's almost always a good idea. -- Ed.

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.
25 September 2006
It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!
