DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm a bit young to be up here, but Nolan's comments made me fighting mad. Slinky
dish? And then inferring that I'm not loyal and honest? Hmph! Well, all I have to
say to you, Mr Nolan Orgel, is that you have a lot to learn about women, and me in
particular. Good luck finding that "plain and down to earth" woman, but perhaps you
should keep your mouth shut when you do so you don't piss her off, too.
Now, with that unpleasantness behind me, I want to invite the rest of you to the pub
to celebrate. I may not be in this position next turn so I have to seize the moment
when I can. :)
Duelmistress Siamese Spy
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! CHAUCERS WORDS had cause to celebrate, after
SOVEREYN got 21 points by beating NOLAN ORGEL. A certain someone should cut down on
the drinking and practice more, after losing 14 points to SOVEREYN. (Discrete
enough, NOLAN ORGEL?) Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by
ABSOLUCIOUN, of CHAUCERS WORDS, who despite a 7-9-0 couldn't overcome LYRATILAN's
Number 1. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging
dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from
the lion, so did the "warriors" in LYRATILAN avoid THE MIDDLE WAY 4. Like a pup with
its tail between its legs, KITTY KONSPIRACY scurried away from THE MIDDLE WAY 4. Oh,
the shame!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Oh hard! that
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Siamese Spy -- Oh, very GOOD, guy. Now YOU can do a column, 'cause I'm tired of it.
Go for it. -- Nolan Orgel
Venomous Concubine, Kung-Fu Master, M. Chardinee, we're laughing at them. Oh yes, we
ARE. -- Xylz Aree, Bron Chollu (more of a choke than a laugh), and Tam Ullan
Wildcat -- (heavy sigh) The little women seem to have all the fun. And here I was
raised to think Tall Is Beautiful (got some Shewish ancestors). -- Yenta Zel
Kitty Conspiracy -- Save your avoids. We don't challenge, and there's nobody else to
fight anyway.... -- The Middle Way

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.
