DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I met up with the Ultimate Sin, and I think it might have been "losing the
title when you should not have done so." At any event, I was able to resist that
luscious temptation, and here I am.
AND five skills, for which many thanks.
Tiralea Flete
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ZORPUNT this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, TERI LARK fought THE USEROUS
MERCHANT and gained 12 points and contributed to KRILL CAVALRY's 4-1-0. LOREN POOLE
has lost to AMBITIOUS GUARD, falling 7 points, while helping make KRILL CAVALRY a
4-1-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and TIRALEA FLETE
remains ZORPUNT's top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me?
I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Welcome Wench until
they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the MONEY PIT
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ZORPUNT, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided MONEY PIT stable the most? Believe it or not, it was 071406C.
Anyone surprised?
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in ZORPUNT, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in ZORPUNT again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Irmean -- You aren't, really. Of course, nobody would seem mean to me today, so I
may not be a good judge. But then again, who better? I have met you on the sands,
and you weren't mean at all. -- Mikela Poole
Holy Moly -- As a garlic lover, I found you not at all off-putting. Thank you. I
really needed the win. -- Teri Lark
P.S. Who knows, I may be about to turn my record around. Er, to start turning it
around, a process that will take MONTHS of unremitting effort, and I don't really do
"unremitting."
The Osksi Noble has a yellow belly. I know because I cut it open to see. Canary
yellow. -- Loren Poole
The Embezzling Scribe kept trying to TALK, and everyone knows you can't talk and
fight well at the same time. For sure, he couldn't. -- Travis T Flete
P.S. I dunno what he was trying to talk ABOUT, something to do with pension plans.
Ed. -- Perhaps. I did notice that on his way out of the Infirmary after our fight,
the Convicted Thief picked the pocket of one of the orderlies. Perhaps he's
incorrigible. -- Loren Poole
Or a kleptomaniac. -- Ed.

without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
transferred teams. (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)

same conditions as noted for TVs.

PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!

In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce
the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders". The
group consists of the following members:
Doc LeGrande
Apex
Street Legal
Carnage
Ghoti
Roadkill
Valamond
This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this
alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We
fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager
brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We
have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on
the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and
respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched.
Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their
prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those
that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land.
We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from
Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus
arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land.
Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we
are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We
have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are.

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light:
Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your
pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more
than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52,
REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari
know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
