DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What a thing! The whole arena goes inactive for a couple of turns, and then I
come back as Duel2Dude and get Invited to the Isle! Is this great, or what?
Woodwalker
P.S. 11(2)-5-18-11-17-9-15 BA, favorites Mace, high/low, retiring.
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out MALCORN to see
what's new. Talk about hot teams! BIRDS OF A FEATHER goes out, the very first time,
and goes 3-2-0! Like, what do you guys eat for breakfast? MVP award for MORTIKHAN?
STARBASE 5's proud of him after beating GREENGROVE and getting 20 points. Talk about
yer major upsets! GREENGROVE's match with MORTIKHAN cost him a loss of 17 points!
The crowds were amazed this turn, as VENOMOUS CONCUBINE killed the Duelmaster,
WOODWALKER, leaving GREENWARDENS in mourning. STALKING HORSE gets to be new
Duelmaster. But doesn't this mean people might try to kill him, too? Is the
Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All MALCORN ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to
hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
And Woodwalker has the NERVE to claim that HE softened up the Khalhums Dwarf for ME!
Oh, ha! It was the other way around, of course--the title match is LAST, except for
dark arena fights, bloodfeuds, tv challenges, normal challenges if the title match is
a random one, and so on. *I* was the one who softened up the damned Dwarf, and no
two ways about it. -- Greengrove
Greengrove -- Looks to me like the Dwarf softened up YOU. -- Woodwalker
At least our pitiful Captured Orc is an Orc. I've heard that some of the southern
arenas have to make do with Elves! Talk about ridiculous. -- Stalking Horse
Somehow I just can't picture a Dwarf being a Beggar. Persistent, yes, those hairy
little buggers never give up, but begging? Now, if he'd been a Convicted Thief,
maybe.... -- Wooden Arrow
Captain Caveman -- My, you must have been cloned or something, because you're not the
first Captain Caveman we've heard of round about the arena community. The first one
HERE, maybe. (sigh) Good work on your part. Tell me you have tourney experience to
back up that 0-0-0? -- Ghost of Falling Rain
Wooden Arrow -- Why would Mordant send a spy to Malcorn? Stupid place, Malcorn. The
Mordanti wouldn't want it. -- Immigrant from Mordant
Stalking Horse -- Yea, if I could...I would fight with feelings. I would start with
mad! It seems to be the latest rave. -- Mortikhan
Wooden Arrow -- Not a horse eh? Sorry. -- Mortikhan
P.S. It's not time to introduce you to futuristic metals, but the concept is the
stronger the better, and light is right.

Youngblood's Three and Out Contest
I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).
1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
eliminated.
5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
the contest.
6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
contest.
7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
active in the contest.
8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
contest, no questions asked.
9. Challenges are legal, up or down.
10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
<<<PRIZES>>>
As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
