Time to make the doughnuts? Buggah! Good thing we like doughnuts so much. They run a close third place to...beer and blood. But, that's what happens. Hormones start racing through you (or is that Hermiones? ...and then Gary Gygax didn't help things, that sick Patron Saint of Perverts and Geeks) and then we were off, killing people dressed in period costumes in the sewers, and splashing blood on each other at parties...but it was only lamb blood, so it was cool to the family...but really, what do the youth of today have to admire and spark their imaginations? Pokemon and Harry Potter. A drafty thatched brothel built on a foundation of stone. On the topic of blood, it looks like a few of you got over your squeamish inner selves and poked at each other hard enough to actually _draw blood_ (nice of your mothers to let you take the real swords to the arena), and a few of you even lay sobbing on the sand long enough to die of blood loss. Idiots. It looked like a series of bad manicures going on in the arena. Actually we Frothingsloshers did what we could to try to instill bravery and bloodlust in the fumbling drones you kept leading out onto the sands, but the medics kept hurrying around, ignoring our suggestions that they come have a beer with us and leave you to 'sleep off your wounds'. Man, what a bunch of shaved apes. Wanted to take a moment to express regret at the death of Kedro, a pillar of Krill Cavalry's top notch performance as a skill farm through the recent turns. There goes a valued arena wetnurse, into the sweet afterworld. Or a soggy casket, whatever. Hey, there's more than 5 teams in this arena, why's that team here, anyway? Shouldn't there be like 17 of those teams in Rodeki or something? (But actually, you notice that some of the deadness in the arenas is lifting...I think the G.C. might have made the right decision with this whole tourney class revamp...it'll liven up arenas a bit as a side effect.) So, alas, there is no number to add to the bloody list of trophies. It remains a tie between Guardian and some other manager who flits in and out of here like it's a rest stop powder room. That nasty Harry Potter laid low a young upstart of Doc Steele's in a bloodfeud, nice work! Don't stand for that death stuff, you firm and determined gladiator, kill they who would kill you before you can kill them! But wait...lo! A fatality on the side of Grissledoor House, the name of a fair maiden ranks among the other wormfood! Pardon me a moment, I feel ashen. *chuckle* I return. Thank you for allowing me that moment of peace, shared with the soul of poor lifeless Hermione. We had an ice cream and some cinnamon stout. And that's not a code word. A new fresh faced bumpkin takes the throne this turn, welcome B.S. to our MBN list. Kill him, you limp noodles! So, snap to, you milktoasts! 3 kills in a turn? Soon I'll be forced to come out there and dispatch these numbers myself, with the line starting right behind them for those who haven't had enough! Dangerous numbers, these.

Frothingslosh Syndicate + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Andorians Abroad #22 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Skaithvarn: Raoul didn't much like this Kaldrehn, or trust him at all, but there was nothing he could do right then. And many people, especially wizards, were arrogant and self- centered without necessarily being bad citizens. Well, amend that to "most wizards were arrogant and self-centered, and SOME of them were not bad citizens...." "So having escaped the destruction of Krael, you're going to settle down to a meditative life in Skaithvarn?" Hallie O'Dene asked. The Kraelian laughed with genuine amusement. "Do I look like a man for the meditative life?" His gaze went around the inside of the tower, and his lip curled in scorn. "This is a way station, nothing more. As I was the adviser and kingmaker in Krael, so shall I be in the world that now is." "Krael is drowned--" Jeri began. The wizard shrugged. "There are other kingdoms. The current one in that area is now called Andoria, is it not?" He looked toward a shadowy stretch of wall where a crude table stood; there was a thick black book on it. "I shall rule Andoria in all but name...." Raoul looked at the book, too, and groaned inwardly. That would be the one Peranis had stolen, the infamous Black Book in which the never-to-be-sufficiently- damned Assassins' Guild had recorded all the secrets it could find that would allow powerful Andorians, nobles and rich merchants and military figures, to be blackmailed or coerced. With that book, a clever man COULD rule Andoria...at least for a while. They would have to get it away from Kaldrehn and destroy it. But on the positive side, it would no longer be necessary to visit the vampire city of Leemith. And there was only one of Kaldrehn, whereas Hallie had told them there were thousands of vampires in Leemith. "Not every powerful man in Andoria is corrupt!" Jeri burst out. "That's just a small fraction of--" "There will be enough," Kaldrehn said calmly. "You would be surprised how few points of pressure it takes to control a kingdom! And I am well skilled in that art." The wizard crossed to the doorway and looked out. Raoul's hand twitched toward his sword, then was still. He didn't like to stab a man in the back, even one who deserved it as much as the Kaldrehn seemed to. But he wasn't fool enough even to try against a wizard powerful enough to have moved through time. The man probably had eyes in the back of his head, and short way with would-be assassins. At least it seemed likely that Peranis had got all that was coming to him. "As soon as this storm ends," Kaldrehn said, "I will cross to Andoria. You three will be my guides and servants. For now. But soon I must form my own coterie of agents.... That should not be difficult, there are always, in EVERY land, those who desire a measure of power and wealth, or revenge on the mighty, or simply someone to lead them." Raoul's face tightened. That was true, he knew. Not all greedy men were Delarquan, just as there were honorable men who were not Andorian. He would get word to King Mickeal as quickly as he could. And then he would form his own coterie to contend against the Kraelians. Call for volunteers, good guys and bad. A personal to Scribe or an email to Livia@reality.com will do the trick. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 238): LUMBERING WAIF of HAPLESS WAIF (Berylstar, mgr.)

I'll try to make this short and sweet. No long words for the invaders. I want them to be able to read it too. As you know, I've been on this throne before--after killing Khavi, bless his soul, and defending against Dreihdensmurf (who later defeated me for the crown). You all know Kennelworth's policy--The Duelmaster challenges and attempts to defend against friends. Keeping the title "in the family" is an honour amongst friends. We don't say it often enough, so let me give you The Bulldog rendition of The Philosophy of Aruak City, heart and soul of Andoria. -- Minimize possibilities of killing; our desire is for all to live to fight another day. -- No downchallenging. Honor is testing those with higher recognition. -- The Duelmaster must challenge in an attempt to defend. (The Duelmaster is expected to downchallenge, if necessary, as there is no other direction!) -- Live by high sportsmanship. The ideals of Health! Humility! Honor! apply. -- Even deep downchallenge bloodfeuds are dishonorable. The bulldogs only challenge up with feuds. -- Apologize for killing--because you mean it. -- Encourage others in personals. Establish an environment of actively helping newcomers. Some call this a "credo." Some call it heresy. We call it Andorian honour and sportsmanship. B.S., Duelmaster III SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, ARUAK CITY? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. With any luck, I can sneak into The Victory Tavern and join NEVERWAKE's celebration over their good record this turn. 13th place, not bad. Why not, I'm having a good day, so I feel sorry for THE HEADCUTTERS II, who went 1-4-0 and dropped 15 into 20th. Here's my pity, for what it's worth. If The Victory Tavern is buying drinks for DOG SOLDIERS' good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long. A 1-0-0 makes for a big thirst. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-1 is nice, but don't get cocky, FISH MONGERS III, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SHAREKA win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, CHERRY CHEETAH beat TONY MCALPINE and TONY MCALPINE lost 11 points. You're breakin' my heart. B.S. challenged CONNOR MACLEOD for ARUAK CITY's Title this turn, and guess what happened? And if variety is the spice of life, ARUAK CITY may be getting bland, as B.S. 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, ARUAK CITY? He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's the big D? MORAL FIBER was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like MANIC MARVELS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, DOG FASHION was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I guess I can give a little credit to GANYMEDES of MYTHICAL for challenging up by 21 to NILA SUNDANCER. GANYMEDES won to get 59 points of recognition. And we have LITTLE CROW in a challenge, going down 12 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought LITTLE CROW showed great skill and promise when he subdued DREIHDENBEAST. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ARUAK CITY's morgue. More variety. Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... KIP HARDEE, a glorious 4-6-0 fighter, has passed away. Gee, too bad KRILL CAVALRY. It's about time DOG FASHION got beat for picking on warriors like FRED WEASLEY. Bravo, GRYFFINDOR HOUSE2. See you at The Victory Tavern. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? What does the ARUAK CITY arena have in common with the inns?

Ok, next turn, I swear I'll scrounge up the funds. Rebuilding our guildhouse after the insurrection cost more than I expected. -- Adie Kennelworth -- Thank you very much for the Christmas card! It was so sweet. I liked the little picture of the pup wagging its tail excitedly. You're the greatest. It was my pleasure to take care of your inn while you were absent. I am just happy that it was merely a stewardship. It is so wonderful to have you back and I am honored to continue helping you run the Bulldog Inn. -- Adie P.S. I so wish I could make this face to hang out with you again. You'll be around next year, right? :) Leeta -- It makes me feel good to know that maybe I've started a tradition of cookie baking for the face-to-faces. But I wouldn't want to give up my own tradition. Hopefully next year. -- Adie Q.O.W. -- Bart: The chance of raising a stat only decreases after it has been successfully raised. -- Adie Ed. -- Well done. I wouldn't want to burden you, but if all the Sloshers and Steele out there keep silent, do you mind throwing in an ad for them now and then? Somebody needs to let the invaders know they haven't been completely abandoned. -- Tankesh Kellumbo -- You know, I've tried the bribery thing, but Aruak's arena system has always been pretty clean, and it's even more so since the resurrection cleaned out the scum. You'll just have to settle with either crappy losing turns, or whip your squad into shape. -- Tankesh Ahbleza -- You know, its interesting. The interlopers are not causing as much havoc as they'd hoped. They came, they saw, they fled. Adie is proud to say that I haven't turned her team into a assassination squad. In fact, I haven't changed my strategies at all. No challenges to kill, no high kill desires, no aiming at vitals, no if-challenged...I'm still as flowery Andorian as ever. Well, maybe Adie is...I suppose I should thank the more brutal of the defenders in taking out the garbage. -- Tankesh, Mgr. Tuft Tuggers B.B. King -- Oh, heck. I really HATE dying. It's so disruptive. I'm going to miss all my appointments and dates for the next couple of weeks. -- Ghost of Kedro Nixie Seasprite -- You're a long way from saltwater, kid. -- Nila Sundancer T.S. Quint -- I hate sleeping for days and being confused afterward. It seems like such a waste. I want to sleep for days and be RESTED afterward. -- Kip Hardee Ed. -- I'll back myself to go one-on-one with any rubber duckie and win! -- Ghost of Kedro Bart -- Only when you succeed. -- Leeta P.S. Note that it makes NO difference to your success whether you win or lose a fight. All -- Watch for White Heat and Seeing Red in the FTF rookies at Tempe. They will be burning up the place! -- Purple People Eater, Proud Colorific Manager Totalion -- You totally dominated me. Indeed, I am green with envy at your skills. -- Green With Envy, Proud Colorific Virtue Nuts -- I presume you realize your good luck to be alive and to have all family jewels in place. And I am bestowing yet another kindness on you; we are all FTF maxed. You will get no more feuds pre-tournament. Lucky! -- Blackout, Proud Colorific Hey, Adie, remember I mentioned the purple Minnesota Vikings last turn? I jinxed them! -- Purple People Eater, Proud Colorific Manager B.S. -- You dog! My Proud Colorific warriors want that throne and you are in the way! -- Purple People Eater Ahbleza -- Glad to have you and your Dogs. You use Terrablood? -- Purple People Eater Yo, Crawdaddy, always glad to get some help. I'll sing and play sax. Can y'all do drums and electric guitar. -- One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flyin' Purple People Eater, What a sight to see! Opus X -- I flew like the wind! Well, as best owls can! I needed that. I did, indeed. -- Onyx Owl Stormjumper -- Your challenge, my win, your embarrassment, my party! -- Khaki Kangaroo Crissy -- Clearly you are the better. Salute! -- Cherry Cheetah Titan -- You, sneak, you! You pulled the wool over my eyes. And as a feline creature, I just love what's inside a wood covering. Yummy! But you starved me! -- Purple Panther Herbert -- I loved that! Kind of reminded me of some famous poetry about an Ancient Mariner, that an albatross starred in. -- Almond Albatross Blimey, B.S.! Ye champeened! Damme fine, me bovine landlubber! Aye! -- Mino Hoss -- If you can handle it, then give it your best shot! -- Khaki Kangaroo, pouch wide open Rick Derris -- I must admit that I have waited patiently for this quite pleasant moment. -- B.S., Duelmaster Skywise -- Today was the day of the dog. Bow Wow! -- Dog-Tired Salena Warsmith -- I am amazed! I know you are far better and more skilled than me. Wow! I am so lucky. -- Bark Serenity -- You are. I'm not! I'm steamed! And a loser! -- Beef Bullion Shareka -- Surprise, surprise! I'll bet you thought I'd be easy. -- Tenderloin Congratulations, Lady Adie, on your new partner! -- Kennelworth I am proud to offer free drinks to B.S., a Bulldog Duelmaster. The Bulldog Inn awaits! -- Kennelworth, Proprietor Kedro -- You probably WERE born tired after all that wailin'! -- Dog-Tired Leeta, my bored friend, so what did you think of The Return Of The King, Gingerbread Houses, Vegetarian Tacos, Leisure Suits and Fishing? -- Kennelworth Mr. Steele, my friend, now that you bled off that 3-7, a combined 9-7-2 seems far more Darkholmian. Well done! -- Kennelworth, ever a Steele follower Bart -- The success rate is purely dependent on the will (at 5%), the luck roll, and the number of times you have raised the stat. (It decreases by 50% factor, each successful raise.) -- Kennelworth LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS POWERHOUSE was dealt death by STONE GOLEM in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight.

The following warriors will travel to ADVANCED DUELMASTERS after next turn: RICK DERRIS (11-4932) VIEW ASKEW (453) TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes. First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes. Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks before the tournament. In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered. The new tourney classes will be as follows: DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes ====================== ====================== 0 FE: Rookies Freshmen 1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM 5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles 11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction--- 21-30 FE: Champions Contenders 31+ FE: Challengers Primus All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the Freshmen class. The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this will be published in the newsletters for those arenas. If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer Service. Good luck in your games. -- Green Eyes and the RSI staff
