DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well well well, I'm the last person in this arena that ever thought they'd be writing
one of these things. Truth be told, Jolly didn't even realize I was the Duelmaster
until he was scouring the warrior listings for some last minute challenges.
Nonetheless, here I sit, at the top of the greatest arena in Alastari, and ancient
Parry-Lunge with a losing record. For those interested in that type of thing, here
are my vital stats: 10(+1)-9-9-17-15-10-15, PL, Master Attack & Initiative, Ad. Ex.
Parry, Ex. Defense. Sorry to disappoint anyone looking for an easy road to the
throne, but Jolly is sending me to the Dark Arena this turn. Now a word from the
boss....
Ok, so maybe I should have dark arena'd Fluffy long ago. Maybe he was a liability in
the Battle Royale. Maybe he's not a godling. But he is the Duelmaster. Shame on
all of you. That being said, he is wonderfully bland and will be receiving a gold
watch and will never run in ADM. Good luck to whoever claims the throne by default.
-- Jolly
SPY REPORT
Last turn's Duelmaster, FLUFFY, went hunting at night and came back after defeating
the deadly Spymistress Sharda. Of course, since FLUFFY was heading to the Isle of
the Eye, the throne was vacated. QUEUE edged out ACK VERT in recognition points to
become the Duelmaster.
Hottest Warriors on the sands:
PEON NECROMANCER (9-1) -- Killed THE CRUSHER
SON OF CAIN (7-3) -- Loss to ACK VERT
MIMIC BLENNY (7-3) -- Victory against DIRE WOLF
NEON DISCODANCER (8-2) -- Victory over YANG CHOW
Best Team Performances this turn:
PENTARCHIE 18 - (4-0)
SRETSAMLEUD - (4-1-1)
BIG MEAN FISH - (4-1)
Up challengers: 3-7 Warriors increasing recognition class: 13
Down challengers: 4-2 Warriors decreasing recognition class: 3
Even challengers: 1-0
Largest Recognition Gains: MRS. ROGERS (+33) - killed BLACK ORC
JANDOLIN (+21) - beat BO PEEP
PEOPLE'S ELBOW (+21) - beat BOOTER
Largest Recognition Losses: PICKLE JUICE (-15) - loss to HANNAH
Most Challenged Warrior: DOC STEELE of ARROGANCE
MAYOR MCCHEESE was overpowered by DOC STEELE in a 1 minute conflict
Most Avoided Team: THE SHADOWS by WASTELAND
PEON NECROMANCER killed his second opponent in as many fights. Perhaps someone needs
to determine if necromancy is the only active force at work. VASSAL showed that
lightning strikes can be fatal. Finally, ACE rounded out his tourney preparation by
killing a young warrior.
Finally, Sherik's tournament picks. My top pick will go to QUEUE, the current
Duelmaster. My other Adept pick goes out to AGONY, whose only defeat here in Talcama
is to QUEUE. For INITIATES, I'll pick HO HUM HO, SNOTMAN, and CRAZY CREEP. In the
Apprentices class, I'll go with GOUT GOUT, CURATOR, and ACE. Finally, my lone Novice
pick goes to BRICKTOP. Hopefully, my shortened preparation hasn't left me completely
missing anyone or picking someone I absolutely shouldn't or miscalculated classes of
those I did pick, but picks are just picks and certainly don't take my word on the
caliber of any warrior!

All -- I just wanted to wish you all good luck at the FTF. -- Lady A-Sop
Guardian -- I'll worry about my ego when your team has more total fights than
Thundr+Litening has kills in Talcama. Until then you're not even on the radar. --
Doc Steele
Assur -- That must have been satisfying to end Agony's streak yourself. I couldn't
believe with such a mismatch and long fight that Agony only learned 1 skill. That
hurt more than the loss. I also must tip my cap to you for Paul's victory against
Scourge. It looks like I underestimated Paul. -- Doc Steele
Peon -- Chances are my swift blade will not find your tin encased heart...the sidhe
seem to have gotten on the wrong side of someone at the Commission and my challenges
are doubtful at best. I also have no doubt that Assur will attempt to seek
vengeance. But should the opportunity arise, I will send you to the next world. --
Jandolin
Assur -- I did you a favor, boy.... I do expect a thank you note. -- Jandolin
Guardian -- Maybe I could do a favor for you as well...save you from DAing your old
timers.... -- Jandolin
Doc Steele -- Another Undefeated Streak Defeated! Even more rewarding is that the
warrior had equivalent FE! -- Assur
Jandolin -- You brutal killer. I intend to make you pay for that! -- Assur
For what it is worth, Samson -- 11-10(1)-6-17-21-9-11 PL Experts in Attack, Decise,
Init, and Parry. I suppose I'll give him a chance in an Adepts Dead tourney, but
I've found that average skill warriors like him aren't the best! -- Assur
Alas, BWD cancelled on our first appointment for me to eat jello and him have to
watch. Hopefully we'll get together before next turn and I'll give all the gory
details next turn. -- Assur
Goat/All -- The next Battle Royal will begin with turn 465 (9/1). I will be
advertising heavily after the face.... Very little will be changed, but details will
be out soon. Prepare your crew now is my advice. -- Assurnasirbanipal
Guardian -- Yeah, my warriors do suck. I just run them because they occasionally
beat some of the other warriors here. -- Assur
Marduk -- Quick rise to the top? Me? Assur wouldn't even run me, except he needs
only one style to have all ten styles graduated. I'm likely the worst warrior he's
running in any arena right now. -- Paul
Flashback T60 -- DM...Zelek (116 rec) over Afterlife -- Pop...S.W. Gatorade over
Komodo Dragon (5 min) -- ADM...Psycho Scientist. Fights: Ludo over Uriah, Midnight
Monster over Ox.
Flashback T61 -- DM...Termite (111 rec) over Ludo (4 min) -- Pop...Termite -- ADM...

STOP THINKING TOGS!!!!! It's here. Well, almost here anyway. We're looking at
a start date of the first turn in Aradi (DM 60) following the Fall Mail-In. This
should give everyone sufficient time to study the new ultra-improved T#%S IV rules
and prep accordingly. So without further ado, here is your handy-dandy guide to
winning your very own Golden Scrod (and some other very cool prizes to be announced
officially before the start of the tourney that must not be named):
1. Each T#%S team consists of two managers. After the tourney starts, there will be
no switching partners whatsoever, so choose your partners wisely. T#%S IV will
last for 13 turns, so pick a partner you can stand for 6 months or so. The only
team I know of so far is last TOGS winners: Ganolus Oakleaf/Hombre of Blood
Related/Thieves Guild. Hey, this is fun!
2. The T#%S entry fee is 2 team setups per manager. This means 4 setups per T#%S
team. This entry fee is required before the start of the tourney with no
exceptions being made. This is to ensure that nobody gets screwed if a team or
manager decides to back out early. To pay the entry fee either:
a) send $10 cash/check/money order/ or whatever to me personally at:
Andy Salveson
6812 Romanzo Way
Elk Grove, CA 95758
b) get RSI to send me 2 team setup gift certificates. Sorry, no credit cards and
no old teams you have lying around will be accepted.
3. T#%S point system:
10 points for winning on your up-challenge against another T#%S warrior.
7 points for winning on your even challenge of another T#%S warrior.
7 points for winning on another T#%S warriors challenge.
7 points for winning a random matchup against another T#%S warrior.
4 points for winning on your down-challenge of another T#%S warrior.
4 points for winning a random matchup against a non-T#%S warrior. Do not fight
your team mate, you will not get any points. Also, you will not get any points
if you challenge or get challenged by a non-T#%S team, so use your avoids
wisely if you think someone is out to get you.
10 points for being the Duelmaster. This is in addition to all points listed
above and will begin turn 1, so prep accordingly.
5 points for every spotlight written by any team member, 1 per manager per turn.
The minimum length of a spotlight to receive points is 1/2 column in the
newsletter (that's 31 lines-each line 85 characters across) and I will be
completely firm on this. In addition to the length criteria, spotlights will
not be given points if they are in any way plagiarized or if they are not
Duelmasters or fantasy related. I will be the sole judge of this. If you're
unsure if I will judge something to be Duelmasters or fantasy related, then
e-mail me before you write the spotlight and ask me. I reserve the right to
take points away from a spotlight after they are given if I judge at a later
time that the spotlight has been plagiarized.
-5 points per manager per turn every time a manager does not at least write one
personal ad.
-5 points for being the team that avoided the most.
If you participated in TOGS III, you'll notice some slight changes in the points
structure. The main things are points for random match ups against non T#%S
warriors, bonus points for being the Duelmaster, new spotlight criteria, and no
points given for being the most avoided team.
4. I already mentioned this, but T#%S IV will start the first turn in arena 60 after
the Fall Mail-In runs and it will last for 13 turns. There will not be a
Survivor format this time around, meaning no eliminations. I will still be doing
the multipliers at the end, however. This means that all points accumulated by a
team on turns 10 and 11 will be multiplied by 1.5 and all points accumulated by
each team on turns 12 and 13 will be multiplied by 2.
5. Prizes are yet to be determined, but I'll tell you what I know. There will be
prizes given out each turn to whichever team scores the most combined points on a
given turn. Tie breakers will go to the team with the most wins on that turn and
then to the team with most overall points. I have asked RSI for the same prizes
as last TOGS which were transferring any warrior to arena 60 and renaming Aradi
for approximately 6 months, but we'll see what they come back with. I haven't
decided how to split the prizes up, partly because I don't know how many teams
will be entering yet, but I do know the prizes will be split among the top 3
teams at the end. I will announce the exact breakdown of everything when I know
more.
6. And just like TOGS III, Death Stud and I will be the sole arbiters of any dispute
that may arise. Whine all you like, but as Nuln told you last time, that's how
it is.
7. M & RR Clause (go ahead, read between the capitals): I reserve the right to
disallow entry to this tourney if you have a previous history of being a big fat
mouth about everything.
I think that pretty much covers it. I will be accepting team entries as of now
and then posting them in the newsletters as I receive entry fees. Please feel free
to e-mail me regarding any questions or comments at Ganolus@aol.com. So everyone don
your best pair of leg warmers, hop on your favorite farm animal, and ride to Aradi
for the 4th kinda-annual Tournament that must not be named for no apparent reason
whatsoever, or T#%S IV, for short. See ya'll there!
-- Ganolus Oakleaf, T#%S IV Commish
