DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It must bother the blue duchess in the morning. The rose hare will finally lunge.
The fearless lady will jingle before the coming of vice as a shy temptress fighting in
the time of balance. The slothful must scowl with the blessed beguiler at the coming
of prosperity and the cold-hearted trader. The disreputable will bleed in the spring.
A duel must happen, and an agreement must come.
-- Duelmaster Maguvial
***Manager's Note: Maguvial is MAD! Not mad as in angry, but a few steel ingots
short of a longsword, if you catch my meaning. The other members of the team are
convinced he is some type of wise shaman, spouting off ancient lore and cryptic omens.
I have tried telling them otherwise, but they will not be convinced. My guess is it
helps them sleep better at night, rather than considering the possibility they are
sharing a guildhouse with a lunatic.
SPY REPORT
Welcome back, my pretties! It is wonderful to see you again in Seam. A tournament
took place this weekend, but such trifles do not concern us... at least not directly.
I know many managers here travel to the games, so I want to wish them some belated
good luck. I am not sure if luck can work in reverse, but stranger things have been
reported. Now onto this turn's action!
We crowned a new Duelmaster last turn as Maguvial took the throne. Turn 24 marked his
first chance to defend the title. Who did he fight? How did he fare? Even with a
number of Challenger Champions, this turn's title fight came via random matchup.
According to reports, Maguvial is the most challenged warrior, so the Commission may
have decided to leave the title fight up to fate to avoid any appearance of
favoritism. Maguvial faced Loki for the title and emerged victorious after 3 minutes
on the sands. Congrats to Maguvial on his successful defense!
The most avoided team is a no show. 7th Sanctum did not bother to report to the
arena, which makes Darque Knights' avoidance all the stranger. As mentioned already,
our Duelmaster Maguvial is the most challenged warrior. Two big challenges came from
Pixelbenders and Thirsty Thugs. Soft Light looked high to the Champions posting a
challenge to Bumble Rumble. Hindsight is always much clearer than foresight! Soft
Light and Mixelplick may now want to take the challenge back as Soft Light fell to
Bumble Rumble's blade in a 1 minute fight. The other lofty challenge comes from
Kininvie of Thirsty Thugs. He posted a challenge to Pucker & Bloat, 23 points higher
in the rankings. Thankfully for all involved, this bout did not end in death.
Kininvie won in a single action-packed minute! Congrats to the winners and
condolences to the losers and mourners.
A mass exodus occurred this turn as 5 teams are inactive. Way of All Flesh, Wyld
Masquerade, 7th Sanctum, Phantom Regiment, and Holy Ship! were all absent. Rumors are
circulating that Way of All Flesh will not be returning for the foreseeable future.
We hope the rumors are untrue! The tournament may be responsible for a few of the
absentees, but that is unknown at the moment. Come back, gents!
Philanthrolords jumped 9 places in the ranks to take over the number 1 spot. 10-5-2
certainly deserves recognition, way to go, Philanthrolords! The former top team, I'm
Not Eggbert, fell to 3rd after a 3-2 turn. Darque Knights slipped into 2nd place on a
4-1-1 showing. There were no major drops in the ranks among active teams. 7th
Sanctum, inactive this turn, had the biggest fall, going from 2nd to 11th.
Turn 24 witnessed 7 deaths, with only 3 coming via the Dark Arena. All deaths,
excluding 1 Dark Arena fight, involved experienced warriors. Huckle's Cats' warrior,
Janitor Joe (7-9-0), fought his last this turn. Matched up against Lady Songsteel, a
warrior who entered the fight with 3 kills, Janitor Joe became the fourth victim to
the lady (if we can call her that). Lost Sentinels bid farewell to Baloo X (7-4-0),
while I am sure Philanthrolords are saddened by the death of Mercyfletcher (14-7-0).
The other death has already been mentioned as Soft Light (11-7-1) gave up the ghost to
Bumble Rumble. Heartfelt condolences to the guilds that lost warriors this turn, and
equally heartfelt wishes of good luck to the bloodfeuders next turn!
As I draw this report to a close, I want to encourage each of you to fully participate
in Seam. Columns, personal ads, and bits of history concerning your guilds are great
ways to get involved in the arena and spark interest. I hope to see more
participation in the future. The arena can only be as great as we strive to make it.
With that in mind, I say farewell, my sweets! I hope to see you next turn. --
