DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Mr. Grinch, El Grinco Sir, fare you well on the Isle. I will try to hold this
position with as much flair and dignity as you did.
Sarina
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, CALEAM? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. GOLDEN CANYON turned their 3-2-0 turn
into a 6th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SPLINTER win a
fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, DIESEL beat DIO and DIO lost 12
points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, CALEAM may
be getting bland, as SARINA stays top dog in the city. The Swinging Aardvark, humph!
I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From CALEAM's
trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
WARCKERS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.
Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like HEADBANGERS avoided
them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh,
I'm frightfully impressed, KORIBUS was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch
that ego swell, sports fans. Now look at this. ZODIAC FREAK challenged down 24
against SOULS OF BLACK's MOUNTAIN MIKE. What a weasel! This is the sort of thing
that makes the price of admission to CALEAM's games worth it! ZODIAC FREAK was
subdued by MOUNTAIN MIKE!! And we have MOUNTAIN TROLL in a challenge, going down 11
points for the fight. Guess what? I thought MOUNTAIN TROLL showed great skill and
promise when he subdued KORIBUS. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in CALEAM to get a drink than The Swinging
Aardvark! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you
have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste this one in your
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Sarina -- Thank you, but I realize I benefited from a small arena. -- A retired El
Grincho
Koribus -- Well done Professor. That's the type of skills that keep me coming back
for more lessons. When I get that TC, I'll be sure to let everyone know what part
you had in it. -- Mountain Troll
Sarmassophobia -- Heck, I wasn't even using my favorite weapon either. -- Dio
Poppa Lode -- With the skills you teach me, it's hard to just say no. -- Freak
Sinistrophobia -- Wow, two death intent statements, and then you come back and win.
You were lucky to escape with your life! -- Amee
Watch Out! -- That's right, you had better. -- Headbangers
Melophobia -- Um...would it help if I lived in a cave and avoided Debby Tonte? --
Little Nugget
Mountain Troll -- I hate trolls. Um, generally speaking, because there's no way I
can fight them. Not PERSONALLY. -- Koribus
Zodiac Freak -- Guess I'm all pyrites today. -- Poppa Lode
Chardon -- I hold YOU responsible! When the orderlies "carried me to the Infirmary,"
they were MUCH too free with their hands! -- Miss Priss
El Grincho -- I've pointed that out to Leeta time and time again. Strat changes,
I've said. Challenges and avoids. A little real MANAGEMENT. It'd do wonders for
our records and our performance, but will she listen? Nooooo, she's got OTHER things
to do with her time. (sigh) It's a hard life being a training dummy. -- Koribus
Dio -- I have a strategy? This is news to me. If you have email, you can reach
Leeta at Livia@reality.com. Be sure to put DM at the beginning of the subject line,
though, or she'll delete it unopened. She's getting really wound up about the spam
thing. -- Little Nugget

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.
