DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Once again I am the top dog here in this mighty arena. As my skills increase it
is getting harder and harder for my competition to dethrone me! It's time to run
down the list of contenders:
** Monty -- I don't think much has changed since the last time I beat him.
** Juvenal -- My speed would probably be too much for him.
** Bluey -- I think my beating him two turns in a row says it all.
** Enoshima -- Great record, but I have had success against his style.
** Cobra -- A very interesting adversary, has a chance.
** Matsuri -- Have not seem him fight for some time, would be a good fight.
** Fury -- Not sure if he is coming back, not likely to succeed.
** Bindi -- A little young yet.
** Hangman -- 3 kills, wow! Stay away from me!
Challenge away, contenders!
The People's Champion,
Mr. Yuck
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of LAPUR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team THE TAKEN was unseated
this week as DEATH THREAT moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-1-1
record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!
Witness how this week VENUSIANS went 2-3-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. Did only my
eyes note the 4-1-0 record which THE GUILD managed to post this round? I don't doubt
that such a record will draw challengers! JUVENAL caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BLUEY and was awarded 36 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, RAGING FIRE put down TYE FOON,
causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. Who here was not
present for the title fight this week as MONTY boldly challenged MR. YUCK in order to
strive for the Duelmasters honors? Not for nothing has MR. YUCK in the past laid
claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week it's proven its combat skill yet
again. Would you believe that over half of the old women in LAPUR seem to feel that
they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In LAPUR "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this
week's challenge seeking began. EQUESTORS is feared. This much I can say. If you
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of BLACK
SAMURAI last week. Busy avoiding EQUESTORS? Loose talk at the arena has reached my
ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after HOPE. Watch your
back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one
reward--death. This past week BLUEY, at 24-20-0, departed LAPUR forever. My sources
at CROC FILES stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result
of the untimely demise of BINDI. Beware COBRA! MENSA must hold silent, for this
week she was humbled in the arena by a successful Bloodfeud won by VAGAN of THE
GUILD. Hail VAGAN for thy victory! Walk proud, warriors of THE TAKEN! By striking
down DELPHINA you have avenged the honor of your dead. Your virtue is known to all
in LAPUR. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is
only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in LAPUR. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are
angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

Misty Waters -- You are a snare and a delusion. I think I've got firm ground to jump
to, and the mist parts and there's WATER there. Us spiders don't do water. At
least, not me. I'm not a water spider, you see. -- Jumping Spider
P.S. Okay, I'm not REALLY a spider, but it's sort of my personal totem, you know?
It's important to me.
Chubon -- Like I hadn't already figured out that I didn't like hospitals. -- Tall
Tree
Zargas -- (sigh) Uncle Wolf warned us about this. He said once we got more people
active here in Lapur arena, we'd end up losing lots of fights. I didn't believe him.
Guess I should've. -- Black Tiger
Solar Flare -- That was scorching. -- Sugarplum
Astrial -- "Look you up"? You mean, challenge? Not likely. Uncle Wolf almost never
makes that much effort. -- Black Tiger
Whirlwind -- Er...I don't know how to break this to you, but my desperation strategy
IS my normal strategy. -- Jumping Spider
Ed. -- I don't remember. Death seems to have that effect. Not remembering stuff. --
Ghost of...was it Badger?
Huh, I thought it was LIFE that had that effect. -- Ed.
Lapur -- Finally I get to leave this arena and join Agro and Graham on the Isle. I
do wish, though, that Cedar would join me...sigh...oh yes, stats: 15-13-15-7-9(1)-
10(2)-15; Normal Endurance, Tremendous Damage, Can take a lot, Can carry a lot.

get EATEN!! -- Monty

apologize for Monty's errr...messy eating habits.... --THawk

Death Threat -- Grats on your TV with RF. You had a solid showing at the FtF. --

Donkey Dictator -- That fight was less than spectacular, but fun none the less. --
Tye Foon
Jumping Spider -- You may no refer to me as "NO ONE"...since I "out-jumped" you.
Free Fall -- Wow, not sure what happened there, I blinked and it was over. -- Lyra
The Guild and The Taken -- I am so sorry. I told the girls to "knock 'em dead." I
didn't think they would take me literally. -- Venus
Sugarplum -- Nothing boils my blood more than getting struck in the head! -- Solar
Flare
Ravage -- Your name suits you. -- Astrial
All -- Sorry for no ads or column last turn. I was running a bit behind with the 4th
of July holiday. -- Stillgard
Bluey -- Well that was easier than the first time! *grin* -- Mr. Yuck
Juvenal - Hey! What's the big idea beating me with that big log! Ouch! -- Buzzard
Sue Nami -- You sure gave me a scare, nice fight. -- Hope
Astrial -- Thanks for letting me start my career with a win. :) -- Ravage
Ataru -- Any time, punk! -- Hope
Otaru -- Hmmm Bluey has 42 FE to my 15 and I took him out. Maybe you just suck. --
Mr. Yuck
Delphina -- Gasp! How could this happen! I was so sure I would be Duelmaster some
day! -- Ghost of Fook
Venus -- I will be sending Buzzard against Delphina to revenge the death of Fook. I
don't want to risk Ravage against a killer just yet. -- Stillgard, manager of The
Taken

STOP THINKING TOGS!!!!! It's here. Well, almost here anyway. We're looking at
a start date of the first turn in Aradi (DM 60) following the Fall Mail-In. This
should give everyone sufficient time to study the new ultra-improved T#%S IV rules
and prep accordingly. So without further ado, here is your handy-dandy guide to
winning your very own Golden Scrod (and some other very cool prizes to be announced
officially before the start of the tourney that must not be named):
1. Each T#%S team consists of two managers. After the tourney starts, there will be
no switching partners whatsoever, so choose your partners wisely. T#%S IV will
last for 13 turns, so pick a partner you can stand for 6 months or so. The only
team I know of so far is last TOGS winners: Ganolus Oakleaf/Hombre of Blood
Related/Thieves Guild. Hey, this is fun!
2. The T#%S entry fee is 2 team setups per manager. This means 4 setups per T#%S
team. This entry fee is required before the start of the tourney with no
exceptions being made. This is to ensure that nobody gets screwed if a team or
manager decides to back out early. To pay the entry fee either:
a) send $10 cash/check/money order/ or whatever to me personally at:
Andy Salveson
6812 Romanzo Way
Elk Grove, CA 95758
b) get RSI to send me 2 team setup gift certificates. Sorry, no credit cards and
no old teams you have lying around will be accepted.
3. T#%S point system:
10 points for winning on your up-challenge against another T#%S warrior.
7 points for winning on your even challenge of another T#%S warrior.
7 points for winning on another T#%S warriors challenge.
7 points for winning a random matchup against another T#%S warrior.
4 points for winning on your down-challenge of another T#%S warrior.
4 points for winning a random matchup against a non-T#%S warrior. Do not fight
your team mate, you will not get any points. Also, you will not get any points
if you challenge or get challenged by a non-T#%S team, so use your avoids
wisely if you think someone is out to get you.
10 points for being the Duelmaster. This is in addition to all points listed
above and will begin turn 1, so prep accordingly.
5 points for every spotlight written by any team member, 1 per manager per turn.
The minimum length of a spotlight to receive points is 1/2 column in the
newsletter (that's 31 lines-each line 85 characters across) and I will be
completely firm on this. In addition to the length criteria, spotlights will
not be given points if they are in any way plagiarized or if they are not
Duelmasters or fantasy related. I will be the sole judge of this. If you're
unsure if I will judge something to be Duelmasters or fantasy related, then
e-mail me before you write the spotlight and ask me. I reserve the right to
take points away from a spotlight after they are given if I judge at a later
time that the spotlight has been plagiarized.
-5 points per manager per turn every time a manager does not at least write one
personal ad.
-5 points for being the team that avoided the most.
If you participated in TOGS III, you'll notice some slight changes in the points
structure. The main things are points for random match ups against non T#%S
warriors, bonus points for being the Duelmaster, new spotlight criteria, and no
points given for being the most avoided team.
4. I already mentioned this, but T#%S IV will start the first turn in arena 60 after
the Fall Mail-In runs and it will last for 13 turns. There will not be a
Survivor format this time around, meaning no eliminations. I will still be doing
the multipliers at the end, however. This means that all points accumulated by a
team on turns 10 and 11 will be multiplied by 1.5 and all points accumulated by
each team on turns 12 and 13 will be multiplied by 2.
5. Prizes are yet to be determined, but I'll tell you what I know. There will be
prizes given out each turn to whichever team scores the most combined points on a
given turn. Tie breakers will go to the team with the most wins on that turn and
then to the team with most overall points. I have asked RSI for the same prizes
as last TOGS which were transferring any warrior to arena 60 and renaming Aradi
for approximately 6 months, but we'll see what they come back with. I haven't
decided how to split the prizes up, partly because I don't know how many teams
will be entering yet, but I do know the prizes will be split among the top 3
teams at the end. I will announce the exact breakdown of everything when I know
more.
6. And just like TOGS III, Death Stud and I will be the sole arbiters of any dispute
that may arise. Whine all you like, but as Nuln told you last time, that's how
it is.
7. M & RR Clause (go ahead, read between the capitals): I reserve the right to
disallow entry to this tourney if you have a previous history of being a big fat
mouth about everything.
I think that pretty much covers it. I will be accepting team entries as of now
and then posting them in the newsletters as I receive entry fees. Please feel free
to e-mail me regarding any questions or comments at Ganolus@aol.com. So everyone don
your best pair of leg warmers, hop on your favorite farm animal, and ride to Aradi
for the 4th kinda-annual Tournament that must not be named for no apparent reason
whatsoever, or T#%S IV, for short. See ya'll there!
-- Ganolus Oakleaf, T#%S IV Commish
18 July 2003
To All Managers -- I would like to take this time to announce that my alliance, The
Association, is no more. Due to the dead weight managers of the alliance and their
