DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What the...?? Well, I'll take the political points to help put Storm Front out of
his misery of sending me out on the sands. Let's see, what did he tell me to do,
it's been so long his last DM...oh, yeah! I'm suppose to size up the competition.
So, that would be Connie from the looks of the current standings. I'm 1-2 against
her, and if I fight her I'm sure we will be saluting a new Duel Master. No avoids of
course, Storm Front makes it a point to never avoid from the DM spot. I will take a
moment to tell Fighting Cock, nice showing at the Tourney. I can't spill the beans
to my stats yet, as I am sure I will be with you all for some time yet. Good Luck to
all!
Sue Nami
SPY REPORT
Welcome LAPUR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I
fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! FORCE OF NATURE were a
bunch of dogs after STREET WALKERS got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!
Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave VENUSIANS a 0-5-0! I got a
good laugh out of it! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table!
Thrust! Block out the pain! KNIGHTMARE is now ranked 5th with a 3-2-0 turn. It
seems so recently people were saying CARDOW HUNTERS was washed up, finished. But
4-1-1 moved them up 2. I guess they're washed no more... What's with LADYBUG? She
actually beat VENUSIANS' ASTRIAL, and walked away with 31 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at CROC FILES while they watched LUCY clobber SNOWSHOE. He lost 11
points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Apparently LAPUR isn't
filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2
challenges this turn! Try as she might, SOLAR FLARE wasn't good enough at persuading
SUE NAMI to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1
will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
ANGRY ANIMALS. Management must be dealin', as the boys at STREET WALKERS ain't
reelin'! ANGRY ANIMALS' mad!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. A
warrior can't stick around with a 12-14-1, and LADYBUG easily took care of ASTRIAL.
Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take
note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
LAPUR is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Remember--a
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Don -- I feel kinda bad that I didn't teach you more. -- Brickhouse
Hogun -- Oh no, now me fight in dark again. -- Ahh-Shew
Whirlwind -- I was just looking for skills, thanks! -- Your Mama
Carina -- Wow, just think about how many skills I would have gotten it I had hit you
twice ;) -- Miss Conduct II (yet somehow I'm still on the least popular list, you
must have quite a few friends in the stands)
Solar Flare -- I was just praying you didn't hit me first. -- Wild Thang
Force of Nature -- Unfortunately, outside of a tourney cycle, there's not really much
choice as far as opponents at Adept and above. --Croc Files
Murry -- Well, you hit me more than anyone else so far...of course, that might be a
sign that it is getting close for me to find a new line of work. -- Sticket
Bitter Beetle -- Weapons become slippery when you hand is covered with blood.... --
Zero
Your Mama -- Always a welcome feat to defeat a warrior of Roadkill's. -- Whirlwind
Astrial -- 2-0 my favor. -- Sue
Connie -- I didn't know a successful losing challenge on my part would satisfy a
bloodfeud.... -- Down Pour
Nameless Member of the Cult of the Bloody Sun -- First lesson in humility...hush. --
Sticket
Loovis -- I would hope your work with funds is better than your work on the sands. --
Zero
Daihachi -- Well I'm off to the Dark Arena. Thanks...thanks a lot. -- Antlia
Ladybug -- Sorry about that, but poor Venus is so depressed about Lyra's replacement
I was afraid if one of us didn't get a win we would ALL be thrown to the DA. -- Solar
Flare
Stubborn Ass -- Love the name, although I was laughing so hard about it I'm afraid it
effected my performance. -- Mensa
Miss Conduct II -- Cripes! Stay away from me please. -- Carina
Sue Nami -- If I had known I was fighting you I would have brought my water-wings! --
Astrial
Solar Flare -- Wow, you really scrambled my transmissions! But the aurora was
remarkable. -- Ladybug
Fighting Cock -- Ouch! Enough with the spurs already! -- Snowshoe, totally unspurred
Ah, I knew that everyone had a purpose, but I did not realize--before now--that the
purpose of the Userous Merchant was to provide me with a win. I accept it. --
Cezzaro
Lance -- You seem to have annoyed some fair lady, and I am always ready to assist a
fair lady in need of vengeance. -- Red Tiger
Who is this Irritated Housewife, and what right has she to be annoyed? She can't
even roast a haunch of venison without burning it! -- Red Tarmahk
Roadkill -- Exacting revenge for Tiger Lily would not bring her back, and it would
require actually exerting ourselves to issue challenges, which is...not terribly
likely. Death happens in the arena. We may not always like it when it falls on a
friend, but each of us has already made the related choice in deciding to enter the
arena at all. We aren't happy, but we're not pointlessly vengeful. -- Cardow Hunters
Hogan -- Glad to have you around. Another voice, another pebble in the lottery, it
all improves things. -- Ladybug
Mensa -- Skills are always good, thanks. -- Cezzaro
Astrial -- Next time, I'm carrying snowballs in my hat and tucked into the pocket on
the back of my shield, too! -- Snowshoe
Sue Nami -- What? You...propose to marry me? (greedy look) And you such a
financial draw in the arena, too! I will definitely send my man of affairs to
negotiate with you. -- Kordegk Redstone, Penniless Lord
20 October 2006
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

I received a Gift Certificate from someone. I'm assuming it's for entry into the
Turf War 5. Whoever sent this to me...please email me at rbaphomets@yahoo.com.
Thanks.
