DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Who says tournaments aren't valuable? "But Wait!" you say, "This is a no-tourney
arena! You can't talk about tournaments!" Hey, I'm the Duelmaster and a giant
marshmallow monster, so I can talk about whatever I want to! And, in this case at
least, it fits. the Regiment was here when the arena opened, but then missed quite a
few turns. So, what brought us back? The spoils of a tournament victory! Not our
tournament victory, obviously, but we are reaping the benefits. So you can thank one
Carnivorous Parrot for our presence here in Seam these past turns. It seems a good
use of tournament funds, does it not?
As for this fine arena of Seam, it is a pleasure to be back and active again. The
Regiment struggled mightily for the first 8-10 turns or so, getting quite a few fights
below the .500 mark. But we are back on the positive side of the ledger now and
hoping to stay there. So everybody get your freak on, the phantoms are here to scare
your little loincloths off! (Except Casper, he hasn't got his expert rating in
"Freaking" yet.)
Stay Puft
Avatar of Gozer
Duelmaster of Seam
SPY REPORT
Greetings, my sweets! So good to see each of you regular managers in Seam, and
oh look, a new face in the crowd as well. Um, not exactly a new face, but a returning
face in Hombre. It is good to have you back! I'm enjoying a hastily organized
vacation week before all the good weather gives way to declining temperatures. Before
the ice in my drink melts, let's if I can give you the highlights for turn 56!
Stay Puft has been enjoying a few turns on the throne. As the arena's top AB, he
had a nice selection of "defensive" fighters to choose from in the Challenger
Champions. Unfortunately, he also had a few more aggressive styles chomping at the
bit for an opportunity at the Duelmaster's title. One of those warriors was Ardbeg
from the Thirsty Thugs stable. In terms of style, Ardbeg theoretically has an
advantage (according to the arena bookies). Stay Puft would probably agree with the
bookies since Ardbeg finished him in a short 1 minute bout. Congrats to our newest
Duelmaster, Ardbeg!
The most avoided team is Lost Sentinels, and we find Darque Knights avoiding them
the most. The most challenged warrior for the turn was our former Duelmaster Stay
Puft. It is good to see this competitive fire for the top arena honor.
There were only a few deaths this turn for us to note in the regular arena.
Unfortunately, both regular arena deaths belonged to DMobster and his Thirsty Thugs.
DMobster also sent one of his warriors to the Dark Arena, so we will see a mostly new
squad on the sands in the cycles to come.
Phantom Regiment finally slipped out of the top spot, but remained in the top 5
in 3rd place. Taking the number 1 spot is Deities and Demigods, who moved up from
3rd. Lost Sentinels remained in 2nd place, while Pixelbenders moved up to 4th, and
I'm Not Eggbert remains 5th. The biggest gain for the turn belongs to our newest top
team, Deities and Demigods, while the biggest slip goes to Darque Knights, who dropped
from 4th to 8th.
We bid farewell to Pucker & Bloat, a former Duelmaster and now Lord Protector
from Seam. Congrats to Mixelplick and the squad because we all know it takes an
entire gladiatorial combine to see a warrior rise to such ranks. Also, receiving news
of his ascension to the Isle of the Eye is Stero Banewood of the Darque Knights guild.
Stero is managed by Master Darque. Congrats to you both, and we will continue to
watch as our veterans earn the skill and respect needed to be invited to the Isle!
Okay, my dearies, time for me to get back to this cocktail. I told the bartender
I wanted a Tonte Special, which is essentially a tiny umbrella and a large amount of
spirits! Good times! Until next time, my sweets!

Hastur -- Who knew! All I needed to get a win was to beat up on a god for awhile!
Perhaps you're only scary to the living? -- Ghost
Ardbeg -- Now, that just makes me want to be a little less friendly for awhile! --
Casper
Aery Shine -- If I can't win that one, I'm in trouble. In fact, I think I might be in
a lot of trouble. Oh, that was bad. I mean it. Bad. I'm a bit worried, nobody
really knows what happens when a phantom, you know... loses at night. I think I might
be doin' the night thing. I guess I better win that one! -- Spook
Equalizer -- Yeah, that was equal! Give me another 15 FE and lets try that again! --
Dwimorberg
All -- It was very difficult to find a team capable of going with a 'theme' out of my
remaining drek, so please don't kill them off. By all means, use them to get wins as
most aren't very good, but just don't kill them. Well, except for maybe Thor. --
