Seems like just a few fights ago Cricket was stoping me good! Live and learn, I guess. Silvia Minno that was a good fight, sorry we did not get more skills from it. I am an AB 9-9-8-17-13-11-19 ad exper in riposte, master attack, exper decise. Favored epee, low off, and very low activity level. See you on the Isle. Zigadenus SPY REPORT The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon WILLAF, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! PUNNY AMINALS had cause to celebrate, after FANGS ARDENTE got 10 points by beating TEAKILL. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, HIROKAWA was winsome, after beating BRUAR and seeing him lose 7 points. ZIGADENUS successfully staved off a grab for the roses by SILVIA MINNO of PUNNY AMINALS. Does WILLAF have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. So much to report, so little time! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of PUNNY AMINALS, alone and unchallenged. The warriors of PUNNY AMINALS found their efforts at combat frustrated as GOLDEN GLADIATORS apparently had more important things to do than fight. Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Forgive and forget is not my motto. Take heed, PUNNY AMINALS, as BEAU RAMN's death remains unavenged. Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee. Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. WILLAF, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Welcome Wench.

And congrats to Lord Protector Zigadenus. -- Midas The Envious Coyote -- It is not too unusual to get strikers or lungers who prefer low offensive activity. Favorites on strikers are often low. For example, our compatriots in DM47, led by Oz The All Knowing have a striker named Winkie, who through winning a competition learned his faves early. They were Low/Very Low and Small Shield. Yuck! But he IS a big winner. -- Midas, Even More Envious Baarbra -- I will say nothing. -- Silence Is Golden Teakill -- Perhaps that "lesson" will teach you to vote properly next time. -- Goldwater Oski Noble -- Thanks for helping me get back some of my hidden winnings. -- Gold Cache All -- The Mailer was mediocre for The Golden Gladiators with the two entrants going 5-3 and 2-3. But it was invaluable. -- Midas Ziadenus -- A salute to an excellent gladiator. -- Silvia Minno P.S. You could have taught me more! The Khalhums Dwarf? Talk about someone with a head like a block of stone! -- Marey D'Nuit Silence Is Golden -- Not when someone happens to be golden-tongued. -- Baabra Lammont Bruar -- Hmm. Well... our records are now identical? Why didn't you teach me some skills? -- Fangs Ardente Hirokawa -- Huh, that wasn't an enlightening experience. -- Cris Croft Silence Is Golden -- If you start yelling sooner, the arenamaster might stop the fight sooner, don't you think? -- Marey D'Nuit Zigadenus -- We probably need a scum-deflator. -- Silvia Minno P.S. Maybe you can use it on the Isle. Coyote -- No way! I've been down that road, and now all you will see on the sands is my gladiators. -- Jorja, no longer fighting actively Coyote again -- Many years ago, when I was doing a piece on rhythm for Noblish Island, I found four lungers out of forty among my graduates who had a favored rhythm of low/high. Out of sixty-three strikers noted then, I found every speed except very high, which appeared nowhere; every other speed appeared, and just about every other combination. Skimming through it, I see some low/low rhythms, for instance. If you have email--no, the editing log says you sent in your personals physically. Drat. I was going to email you the article. Guess not. Maybe I'll email it to Sandy and ask her to send it as a diplo. It isn't the last word on rhythm, I don't do last words, but it might be of some use to you. -- Jorja Our congratulations to Zigadenus. -- Jorja and the Punny Animals Fangs Ardente -- My tea is just fine thank you. It's the other half I must learn, and my brother Brgar likes it!! -- Teakill Lord Protector Zigadenus -- It would be an honor for all involved if you would accept, as a token of our admiration, a sword specially made for you and engraved with holy words of power. -- Tevik Zokharj, officially Distributor of Lands, but we have no lands to offer at the moment 29 April 09 Greetings All -- This is Vincent Michaels, "the Rake", mgr. of the Stormbringers out of DM 33 Niatoli Island, back after a relatively long layoff. I come back to my arena to find only two other teams there. Terrible! I'm calling on all you managers out there who have inactive teams in Niatoli to put them back in the game. Also, anyone else who wants to come check out our little island are welcome. Good food and a lot of good gambling, and you will have a chance to smack around Gen. GirlPants and his band of Ravaged Queens. Great fun. Come one, come all! 4 May 09 Players of Duel 2: RSI wants to try, in a few arenas, a system that rewards role-play and general arena involvement. Our thoughts at this time are as follows, and feedback is earnestly solicited: 1. What to reward. a. Spotlights--they don't have to be involved and lengthy storylines, and in fact, my own inclination is to say: anything game related and original (i,e,, not a reprint), maybe set a minimum length. I use TOGS here as my model--half a column as formatted for the newsletter, and we don't judge the quality of the writing (so long as the editor isn't grossed out), just the intent to make a positive contribution. b. A dm column where one is "due." Again, no judgment on quality of writing, should be dm-related, and I would say (this is just me) a minimum length of maybe five lines. c. Personals. More than just "you suck," or "good fight." How much more doesn't really concern me, and quality, other than "not offensive to the editor," should not be an issue. We don't want to encourage participation and then muzzle it. d. It has been suggested that a reward point or two be offered for running a full team. We could include this, but my own inclination would be to say that there would be no points for this, but that those who don't make a clear effort on this (accidents happen, so maybe something like "when the three-turn total of fights is below twelve"?) aren't eligible for points on any turn until they get it back up to a full team. 2. How to reward it. a. We've been thinking nebulously about some kind of point system, obviously, as an example, say 3 points for a spotlight, 2 for a column, 1 for personals, more points here for what takes more effort, but some points for any effort. This is in no way final! But some way to keep track of who is contributing and how much, and as non- subjective as possible; this would be noted as each newsletter would be proofed. A way to clearly identify who's sending in what would help, but I can work it out by referring to the warrior listings if I have to. b. But, assuming a point system, do the rewards, whatever they end up being, go to the player who achieves a certain point total? Is this calculated per turn, or as a running total over as many turns as it takes to reach that point? Or to the player with the highest total on any given turn? What about ties? c. What do the points get the player? The current thought is X points gets a free fight, probably replacing the "Popularity Leader's" free fight in the relevant arena. That suggests only one player getting a role-play free fight on any given turn. Is this enough to encourage the newsletter participation we're hoping for? Should we convert "This Week's Favorite" to a role-play free fight also? Or handle rewards in some other way entirely? 3. Where it happens. The current thought is, try it in four arenas: one in each region, and one slow arena. Who picks the arenas in question? I'd be inclined to rule out those that are doing fairly well already (Ardivent, Sunset, Lapur; Arkers, Morya, North Fork), but is that wise? Or even fair? Darned if I know. Places where it is NOT currently intended to happen: Transfer arenas. Maybe rule out the no-tourney arenas as current candidates, too? If this seems to work well enough to be worth the effort, should we consider extending it to more, eventually to all non-transfer, arenas? This is not a "someday down the line we might" concept. We want to do this, and SOON. Your feedback would be appreciated, for, against, changes, anything. You can email me directly at jputney zianet com (make sure it says DM in the subject line) or send a diplo to scribe, any arena. the Scribe P.S. Staff members not to be eligible for role-playing free fights. 5 May 09 The Battle Royal V is upon us! Come join one of the original contests that has had some of the games best managers involved in the past. DM 18, Talcama, some consider it to be the crown jewel of the Delarq cities is where this contest will take place. The Battle Royal is intended to be a play as you want, play what you want Delarquan style contest with very few rules. While I'd love to say, "NO AVOIDING" is the only rule (and that wouldn't be too far off), I must spell out situations that can and have occurred and require additional clarification. The advantages of this format: 1) Simple. 2) No penalty for DAs. 3) No restrictions on warriors entered into the contest (baggers, TC mods, etc all welcome) 4) No penalty for not fighting. 5) It isn't a race where 21 wit and favorite learn determine the victor. 6) Losing a warrior (or even your whole team) doesn't eliminate you from contention. 7) It is possible to overcome almost any deficit. And this has been proven, with managers making huge point swings in short periods of time! 8) It is a contest designed to show manager skill rather than warrior ability. There are a few disadvantages: 1) There is no set end. It is possible for this contest to go on indefinitely. In practice, this format has worked very nicely in the past and I expect it will continue to work well. 2) You cannot avoid (But that is part of the fun and the head to head nature of this contest requires this rule.) 3) It encourages bloodshed. 4) Baggers and experienced warriors have an advantage over new warriors. Battle Royal Rules: - Any team in Talcama is eligible to participate. There are no restrictions on warriors (baggers, TC prize modified, etc). However, any warrior that fights for your team is considered in the BR. - Teams may not avoid any other team within the contest. (Note that you may avoid teams outside the contest but you do so at your own risk.) Avoiding a team on the turn they enter the Battle Royal is not considered against the rules (since you couldn't know the team wasn't part of the BR). The suggestion is not to avoid at all. Assur (the contest moderator) gets an avoid report every turn and will catch people avoiding! - Managers may only enter a single team in the contest. - Any manager with more than one team in Talcama may not challenge any other contest warrior with their non contest team(s). The intention is that no advantage can be gained by having multiple teams in the arena. ****Failure to comply with the above rules*** 1st offense: Disqualification from the prize, but you may still participate. 2nd offense: Warning. 3rd offense: Removal from Battle Royal. - If a manager decides to switch teams, his score will start back at 0. This is to prevent a manager from sweeping the contest with several teams of sandbaggers. Can a manager use this clause to go from a negative score to zero? Yes. I realize this is sort of cheating, but I'd rather have a manager start over with a new team than drop out of the contest. Even so, they have to start at 0 and must gain 25 points. - If your warrior loses a contest fight because of an input error and this error is verified by RSI, you will have a point added to your score. The head to head records will remain the same and any points gained by another manager will remain on that manager's record. - As soon as you are announced in the newsletter, you are officially entered into the Battle Royal. Scoring begins on that turn! You are expected to follow the rules that turn and every turn following. Your team may enter any time they wish during the course of the Battle Royal. - If you are exiting the Battle Royal, you are not removed until the turn after your intention is published. You are asked to follow the rules for that turn (either through not avoiding or not running your warriors). Scoring: - Scoring begins the turn your team declares participation. - Scoring continues through the turn your team withdraws. - Score is calculated by: Wins+Kills-Lossses. - Only fights with other B.R. participannts count towards your score, but they count whether they are challenges or random match-ups. - First Manager to 25 points wins! - In event of tie, B.R. continues until one team that has reached 25 points is ahead of all other participants. Disputes: - The attempt has been made to make these rules as complete and bulletproof as possible, but Tripwire will resolve any disputes as fairly as he is capable. Prizes: For the Winner: 6 Months Free Play in Talcama for the winning team (doesn't include tourneys)! One +1 Bonus Potion (up to max for warrior, to be used on a warrior in DM 18)! One Limited Damage Bump Potion (one time use, up to max for stats, used on DM 18 warrior)! One Minor Stat Switch Prize (up to 2 points can be moved from one stat to another stat on a new rollup in DM 18, before adding 14 points. This prize can be used up to 3 months from the contest end. Both points must be used in the same place (can't take one from a speed and one from deftness and add one to wit and will)). One Favorites Knowledge Potion (to be used on a 5+ FE warrior in DM 18). Rename One Dark Arena Creature in DM 18, which will be renamed for 6 Months or until the Ladies decide to return it to the previous name. All potions renaming prizes must be used within 2 turns of the end of the contest. Endurance Award (available to all participants): One +1 Bonus Potion (up to max for warrior, to be used on a warrior in DM 18). To qualify for the Endurance Award you must participate in 90% of the total fights possible over the course of the BR. If you don't have time to make it into the BR by the first turn, there will be a two turn window before the counter will start for new teams. The fights do not have to be BR point scoring fights, just 90% of the total possible participation over the course of the contest! So, if the contest runs 26 turns, there are 130 fights possible. Your team must have 117 fights during those 26 turns to be eligible. All prizes/potions subject to RSI's interpretation of how they are used/implemented. RSI said the faves knowledge must be used on an Inits warrior or higher and set at 5FE or more.
