DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Back for another round. Barnabas, I had a feeling you would step up and
challenge me with Creme A.Shun. Good try, but you come up a little short. Better
luck next time. No challenges again this cycle, so let's see if someone can take the
throne from me. I probably will not receive my invite this turn because of lack of
multiple ratings, but you never know.
Until next time...
Your Duelmaster,
Ghengis Khan
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in ALJAFIR since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with ANHUR? He
actually beat HEROESANDFOUNDONES' PERICLES, and walked away with 9 more points from
the fight. Major screwup at HEROESANDFOUNDONES. ATTILA lost 6 points to SPRINKLES.
Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe ATTILA will provide more easy wins... TORLYN
UNA was reminded on the sands why GHENGIS KHAN is Duelmaster. Advice to fighters
with a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was DELTA DOOM. Management must be dealin', as the boys at
HEROESANDFOUNDONES ain't reelin'! DELTA DOOM's mad! Taunt your opponent MOUSE
NOYLE! That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly challenged. (and by 18 points!)
TIBERIOUS should have an easy win. TIBERIOUS subdued MOUSE NOYLE.
HEROESANDFOUNDONES calls this fighting? In my day...
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master
many skills, fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.
