DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
As this is the end of Mary's career, I find it only appropriate that I be the one who
writes the column this turn, while she prepares for her final fight (in the Dark
Arena). WOS's are either easy or I have a knack for getting them to perform. Mary
was mediocrity at its best, yet she did very well here in Talcama. 11(1)-13-11-17-
15-3-15, skills before this turn at 28/9/32/24/20/11, completely mode. Faves of
HI/VL BA, Slash tactic. So she is the Shepherd's second (and possibly last) WOS
grad.
Turn 500 is upon us. Hard to believe Talcama has been here more than 19 years! And
many of us have been here for the majority of the time.... Doc Steele was here on
Turn 1, with his current team. I got here on turn 18, ran up a bunch of fights and
did the restart thing on turn 172. Suave started turn 34, followed soon after by The
Upright Man on turn 43 (and Suave restarted with Centerfolds (now appropriately
Center for Olds) on turn 44. Then came the I.T. alliance, all having false starts,
but coming on turns 116, 134, and 138, and respectively coming with their current
teams with Big Wave Dave on turn 127, Jolly on turn 149, and The Muffin Man on turn
145. One Armed Bandit was the surprise next entry on turn 152 and Angus on turn 191.
And I took a huge hiatus from the arena during perhaps the biggest days of the arena,
during which time we gained Talon Volksie (229), A-Sop (242), and Talon Darkhart
(281). What a history we've got! Hopefully I'll be able to start sharing some of
this history again. With Sherik doing the majority of the BR scoring/reporting, I
hope to be able to spend time compiling and bringing more of this history to the
newsletter. It has become a major undertaking, though, with some 500 newsletters to
rifle through. Next turn I will hopefully bring the 500 turn report (similar to the
RECORD DURING THE LAST 10 TURNS in the newsletter, but covering over 19 years rather
than 6 months)
But it is wonderful to share this arena with all of you, new and old. We are Talcama
and the name it has is because of each of us. Happy 500th! Maybe I can write the DM
Column on Talcama's 1000th, too! Heck, maybe I'll just recycle this column,
especially if we're all still around!
Good day and good dueling! -- Assurnasirbanipal
SPY REPORT
With MARY departing Talcama, the fans were very happy to hear that the top two
contenders for the throne would face each other. The commission honored BRICKTOP's
challenge to MEET DEATH. MEET DEATH gave everything he could to the fight and the
sold out crowds got their money's worth. In the end, though, BRICKTOP emerged
victorious, scumming his way to the top. Only problem was that he didn't end up on
top! In a classic commission nightmare, BRICKTOP was unable to earn enough
recognition points to pass MEET DEATH's minimum total. THE MUFFIN MAN watched
helplessly as MEET DEATH was crowned Duelmaster of Talcama for turn 500! His appeals
were useless, but I'm guessing BRICKTOP will be making a similar challenge next turn.
And apparently, BRICKTOP wasn't the only commission headache this turn.
SHEPHERDS received the most avoids this turn, but 4 came from SHEPHERDS' warriors
themselves. The other 4 came from WASTELAND warriors, but it was a bit of a fiasco,
albeit a small one.
Those were the only hiccups in the fighting this turn, though. WASTELAND was
perfect at 4-0. INANIMATE TOFU was almost perfect at 4-1, with their only loss in
the title fight (but they got the title anyway). In spite of their wins, PENTARCHIE-
18 easily kept the current top team award with 10 wins. WASTELAND did take the team
on the move award. 'SLOSHERS was the most challenged warrior this turn and faced
WOMAN AT THE WELL, with the WOMAN winning in 2 minutes. Challengers won 2/3 of their
fights this turn, whether up or down. 14 warriors moved up a recognition class and 6
moved down.
As I mentioned last turn, there haven't been many deaths in Talcama recently.
This turn, there were 2 recorded. ROBIN BANKS killed SERACEA and BREAKERFALL killed
OH... HERE'S TALCAMA. Both initiates with losing records, so no great loss for
either of their managers. Our hottest warrior list remains as last turn. DAVE and
LE PAIN DLG are the warriors to beat right now. They've both gone 8-2 over the last
ten turn.
These warriors may be hot, but there are others that have never been defeated.
LONGSHOT and STU PENDOUS did not fight this turn, but MR THIRD TIME did fight this
turn and won number 6. With only 19 recognition, he's managed to avoid the
commission's eyes and will continue to fight the younger, less experienced Initiates
as he continues his quest to remain undefeated. Meanwhile, LEONIDAS won number 8
this time out and will likely come back with some tournament experience as well
before trying for number 9!
OF WOLF AND MAN II came in to join the BATTLE ROYAL, starting early to get some
essential training in before the contest starts. But there is a contest which comes
first which many are excited about. The Winter Tournament will be held just before
the fighting next turn. It came quickly this year, but it is here. And as usual, I
will do my best to pick Talcama's top prospects. It is tough to argue with success
and so I must pick MEET DEATH and CORAL BEAUTY in the Challengers tournament. They
both recently came back from the dead Challengers tournament on their own merits and
so I expect they'll both do well in a living Challengers tourney. The Champions
tournament is a much different tournament than the Adepts, but I'll go ahead and give
nods to both GOKU and QUINTAL, who are ready for Champs after great showings last
time in Adepts. From my musings, I don't see any Adepts that are ready, but
DREADNAUGHT, if he was classed as an Adept, would my pick. LEONIDAS let me down last
time in Apprentices, but he gets another pick in Initiates, as he remains undefeated
here in Talcama. And to finalize my picks, I'll go with LONGSHOT in Apprentices.
Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to evaluate all of you, but I feel as
comfortable as I usually do with these picks.
Oh, and TALON DARKHART, I thank you for the words of encouragement. I do my
best (and often I feel I do a miserable job), but being better than the pre-
fabricated spy reports by the commission lackeys is SUCH an easy job that it makes my
job all the easier! Cheers until next time!

Goat, V.I. -- First of all, thank you on the good fight. *blush* A girl does the
best she can, ya know? And to the name...yea, I know it doesn't match. It's the
boss man's idea. Something about all us dancers got to take on serial killer names
as stage names...or something like that. I really don't know what he's talkin about
but everyone on the Naturalborn Killers team is a girl who doubles as a dancer down
at Bookie's Brothel. (corner of 5th and Steele Ave, come check it out) I might even
give ya a lap dance if you're good.... *evil grin* -- Charlie Manson
P.S. Feel free to challenge whenever you want, a win's a win.
Assurnasircan'tremembertherestibal -- Well, you talked me into here now let's see if
I can make at least a decent showing. -- Talon Darkhart
Talcama -- Congrats on turn 500!!! I hadn't even realized I was showing up at such
an event's passing but I'm glad to be here none the less!! I will be representing
the kLk faction of the Illuminati alliance and the Naturalborn Killers guild in the
upcoming Battle Royal. Most of you know me as Bookie but I've changed my manager
name recently so I'll respond to either but I prefer.... -- Talon Darkhart or simply
TDH
P.S. Good luck to you all (except against me). *grin*
You know, after seeing the handwritten spy report in this arena I have got to say
that it is ssoooooooooooo much better then the pre-fabricated ones. I really like
that. Is this the only basic arena with it's own spy report? I may just stick
around just for the better spy reports in here.... *grin* -- TDH
Doc Steele -- Hello, Doc. Look's like we finally get to share a basic arena for a
while. Good luck to you and I'm glad I finally made it over to 'your house'. (I'd
still love to see you in 36!!) -- Bookie/Talon Darkhart
P.S. Looks like you're getting close to cracking 1000 wins. Geezus Froth'n Christ!!
That's unreal....
Congratulations to Dreadnaught. I'm very surprised to see that somebody held six
minutes on the sands against my weightlifter Quintal! -- Le Pentarque, by the way
very happy with this Christmas mood turn
I am here for the BR4 Contest. -- Tripwire, Of Wolf and Man II
Key Stats = 41 -- If that's a no-fooler then the boss says I should'a had you beat
like a drum. He says he "didn't know I could look so bad, but the day's young."
Guess that means it's back to the practice yard. -- Little Lil.
Toker. V.I. -- Ugly is as ugly does. I about snuck my feets off. But attend. I
figure the Head-Cheese's meter'n up a blower. Diggin up trade, as it were. Stick
around. -- Miss Assist
Coral Beauty -- It's a fish. And it's got a bite. You too be around in a few, and
we'll groove ona rematch. -- Oso Ozone
Armand Van Helden -- Did you know I'm really...Dr. Zamboni? Yes that Dr. Zamboni,
and I still have a cure for everybody of whatever ails them. Just step onto the
sands, I mean...my office. Now, I know frauds abound. But *wink* I really am the
real McCoy. Really. The proofs in the teaching. -- The Great Zamboni
Talcama -- There's fireworks over tha Tower Bridge. And # 500's gonna kick off a new
year. Year of the Tower...long live the Tower. -- Applejack n' Cold Cuts
Talcama Toughies -- Just selected a stable to send to DM 18 for the upcoming Battle
Royale hosted by Assur. They should arrive in time for the opening round! -- Hammer
P.S. to Assur: Please list AIM FATAL HAMMERZ in the official Battle Royale Roster.
Plan to participate on a regular basis unless I am forced to deactivate them for my
summer vacation!
Assur -- I hereby announce my participation into the Battle Royal. -- Jekyll, Run and
Hyde
The Battle Royal is coming fast. I hope to have some surprises, but we'll see about
those! The first turn is 502, but obviously because of the way it works, it isn't a
great penalty to start a few turns late.... -- Assur
Salt -- Thanks. -- Mary
LA Tour -- You're really annoying me. -- Assur
Crescent Snapper -- Historically, I was always the one fighting the bully, not being
it, but I guess Assur forgot that part, the idiot he is. -- Dave
Bricktop -- Wow, you're quite the teacher! -- Will
Barbu/BWD -- Battle of the Giants -- Wandering Star/Assur

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
