DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, here I am, your new Duelmaster. Some would say a little early in my career. I
say do not doubt the power of my Lord Kjarran. It is with His good grace that I have
had the success I've had. Thorik, almost made you my third kill! That would have
been sweet.
Forcas
Balance of Terror
Servant of Kjarran
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ALJAFIR this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. GROW stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-1 into a
4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys!
And let's see, TITAN fought WENDOL VARN and gained 23 points and contributed to STEEL
WOLVES' 3-2-0. WENDOL VARN has lost to TITAN, falling 19 points, while helping make
MIDDLE WAY a 2-3-0 turn. And not without some honor, THORIK now claims the title and
throne of Duelmaster of ALJAFIR. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top
team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Vile Vizier until they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. STEEL WOLVES has cause to stand tall,
as they were ALJAFIR's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And guess who avoided STEEL WOLVES stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
BALANCE OF TERROR. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that HOG FISH
from GROW was ALJAFIR's most challenged warrior this turn. In a brave attempt,
SKULLBREAKER from STEEL WOLVES challenged up 24 points to fight VINN WULF from the
MIDDLE WAY stable. SKULLBREAKER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was
overcame by VINN WULF and ended up with 9 recognition points.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Banners at half mast, warriors,
HEROESANDFOUNDONES has lost TAN ORC, and you might say all of ALJAFIR has felt the
loss, except maybe BALANCE OF TERROR. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob
the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, ALJAFIR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ALJAFIR again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Titan -- What courage! Even if you do have tourney fights, for all you knew, I might
have had them also, and still you challenged. I salute you, because I'm feeling
really good today, for some inexplicable reason (seeing as how I just got beaten up).
-- Vinn Wulf
Karthus -- Ouch. Remind me to bring a steel muzzle for you steel wolves next time.
-- Quord Rassel
Etien Haxan -- Ah, you may TRY to balance your terror, but nothing balances as well
as a... Straight Line
Cherry Pitter -- That could be taken either way, you know? One who removes pits from
cherries, or one who puts them in. Either way, I don't think I care for it. There's
more fun to be had spitting out the pits myself. -- Erbin Frorlin
It was my pleasure to give the uppity Fratsfa Slave the treatment he was, though he
denied it to himself, asking for. -- Wendol Varn
Oaniun Sett -- But not Bermuda. -- Whoever made the original comment
P.S. And nothing is better garlic, in the allium line. Elsewhere, well, yes,
there's dark chocolate, for instance.
But not in combination. -- Ed., not a very big fan of mole'
Wolf King -- Hi. -- Jorja, Middle Way
Ed. -- No, no, I don't drink cherry brandy! Waste of good cherry cider, letting it
ferment. It was the pits. -- Vinn Wulf
Okay, far be it from me to doubt you.... -- Ed.

BROTHER KNIGHTS OF THE DESOLATE EMPIRE -- Hail brothers where ever you are to be
found! We are engaging in arena 31. Let them feel our wrath. Onward to glory!!! --
Dark knight Blackstorm
1 July 2006
Soultaker -- Read your e-mail! -- Guardian
10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there
could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great
14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:
The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
