DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Another one? Column, I mean. Heck, everyone knew I was going to repeat. No
news there. But another column? Why win a simple DM crown if one has to go through
the pain of a column? Not at all golden as far as I am concerned. No way!
Simply put, the more I win, the more gold I make, and the more Midas likes me.
It is a simple circle of golden glee. Gold. Gold. Gold.
I am in no hurry to graduate. Why should I? It is most fun to be king Of The
Golden Hill. Truly a great feeling! If I have the feeling, no one else does. Kind
of a cool feeling, wouldn't you say?
I'll be here next time. Who can stop me? 'Til death do us part.
Goldenrod, Duelmaster Extraordinaire
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of WILLAF! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Biff! Pow! WILLAF watched with
glee as FUNKY FOLK got knocked off top spot by YAMABUSHI! Hmmmph! I always thought
WAY OF THE SWORD was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-4-0! Up 'n down.
Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well,
YAMABUSHI's 1st moved them up to 4-0-0 place. What's with LIZA LOTT? She actually
beat ARENA FELINES' KITTEN KABOODLE, and walked away with 20 more points from the
fight. Major screwup at PUNNY AMINALS. O. FISH lost 9 points to GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe O. FISH will provide more easy wins... TAREX
was reminded on the sands why GOLDENROD is Duelmaster. I suppose you want to hear
some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. WILLAF thinks WAY OF THE
SWORD and their 64-56-7 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... In
my day, no team with a 64-52-7 would scare me off! What's the problem, GOLDEN
GLADIATORS? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
KUROME! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
Warriors of WILLAF unite. You have only your games to lose! TARRANT looked
pretty sick and surprised when he learned WAY OF THE BLADE 1 is sending him to the
Dark Arena! Whadd'he expect with a 8-8-0? Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena
reminds the others they'd better shape up. Tough beans, ENDEX. That's what a 9-3-0
gets you. Some people are wondering why WAY OF THE BLADE 1 sent ENDEX (9-3-0) to the
Dark Arena. Just be glad you're not on their team. Here's some advice: study your
opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. WILLAF is
a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Vangor -- I changed my mind. You are now one of my golden favorite wah burgers.
Congratulations. -- Golden Arches
Punh Jently -- Thanks for being there. You were a far better flower to pick than
some of the other choices. -- Goldenrod
Shochu -- You have been my sights a long time. I just had to crown you. -- Gold
Filling
Quartermaster -- You and The Sentinel get back here! I want to put a blemish on Q's
record and let the wind out of his sails. -- Midas, A Golden Old Bloke
O.Pun -- Perhaps I will drop by. I like philosophy (and a LOT of other things). But
first the unfinished business here in Willaf. -- Goldenrod
Shadow Wraith -- You are so wrong, everybody loves clowns! They better or I will
step on them! -- Bobo the clown
O Puncha -- I'm just not slippery enough.... Give me some time and I'll earn my name
(hopefully).... -- Slippery Sue
Gluteous Maximus -- Wow, you Roman types sure have big rears! But you're all set for
sitting on hard seats, aren't you? -- O. Fish
Ray Panpillage -- Oh, a he-man type. Is it fun? Jorja won't let us do stuff like
that. -- O Puncha
Goldenrod -- If your rod is golden, does that mean you have spared it, and your
children are all spoiled? Or the reverse? -- Punh Jently
Kitten Kaboodle -- You could almost be a Funky Folk with a name like. Or, for that
matter, a Punny Animal. I don't know if this is good, bad, or merely indecent, but
there it is. Somewhere. -- Ketl Physhe
Golden Arches -- I do! I want to wrap you in my thorny embrace! -- O Puncha
Howling Arc -- Dying. -- secretary for the Osksi Noble
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!

Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
