DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail, Warriors of Lapur. I certainly didn't expect to sit upon the throne this
turn. I guess I need to throw a thank you to Chisson. I will not be defending the
title, sadly, as Floyd says I need to rest up for the Summer tourney. Until then,
best of luck to all and swords high!!
Hydroponicus
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. LAPUR needs a spyreport." Oh, well. The guys at CARDOW
HUNTERS like really pulled together to get a 3-2-0 this turn, moving up by 4. One
team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 2 after going 3-1-0. Keep it up,
BLUNT FORCE! MVP award for BERYLLIUM BUFFER? METAL MINCERS' proud of it after
beating MISS CONDUCT and getting 23 points. Talk about yer major upsets! ULPHOR's
match with CYBORG 420 cost him a loss of 18 points! What a putz! HYDROPONICUS
fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title. No one
said he was a genius... And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit
of...(!) Oh well, welcome GILEAN YASUR. Aren't CLUBS 'N CLONES proud. (Oh, my.)
Who was the wiseguy that said LAPUR's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Warty
Toad? Don't look at me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. The warriors
of SERPENTS HOLD must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you
guys know something that I don't? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are MID EARTH?
SERPENTS HOLD, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an
invitation! Like, is HARDWOOD popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all
of LAPUR! He's got a 9-11-0, is that good? People were asking me did VIEDRAS REALLY
challenge INCONEL INDENTER? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It
wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but INCONEL INDENTER wants me to write about
it since he was subdued by VIEDRAS. Satisfied?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All LAPUR ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what? (SULU vs. CINCIUS, that
is.) What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's
what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. LAPUR is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! I had
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Trekkers! 5-0-2! Killers, me say! This'n old miner done gives y'all kudos. Aye.
-- Oremaster
But, Oremaster, Hon, don't you think all that killing is rather gruesome, and bad for
Duelmasters? -- Ora
Sheesh, woman! -- Oremaster (wondering what a wife sells for nowadays)
Street Walkers -- I just wanted you to know that I think the name Broadzilla is mean,
ugly and discriminatory. It really shouldn't be allowed. -- Ora
(Oremaster reads the above and stands aghast, virtually wordless.) Muttering to
himself, ""Wonderin' what got inna that woman!)
Daemonspawn -- How nice to have you back more regularly. We look forward to your
persads. -- Ora
Is that a word? Ah... one of those meteor storms?
Kicker Murphy -- Did you have to have to keep kickin' me in the ribs when you had me
down? You cretin! -- Chrome Cutter
P.S. What dummy said you were a nice guy. Lout!
Priore -- Thanks for the challenge. I needed an easy win at this point in my career.
-- Beryllium Buffer
Hydroponicus -- Well done, Duelmaster. -- Ora and The Metal Mincers
Aye ta that'n, Hydroponicus. -- Oremaster
Nero -- Me dannae guess ye correctly, next time ye dannae be so lucky. -- Pub
O'connor
Emporer Bong -- Strange how the last time ye made an appearance in the beloved Lapur,
one O' ye team mates killed one O' me clan then dannae show up again for the
bloodfued. This be afore me joined the clan. In a strange way it be like Karma. --
Batton Ms'Kelley
Serpents Hold -- You do not have to worry about a Bloodfeud. Jeter did me a favor by
disposing of Polybius. Polybius was one of those warriors who probably should have
been sent to the Dark Arena for his first fight. I had hoped a 17 wit and deftness
would have made up for a couple of other deficiencies, but it was not to be. If he
had survived his fight with Jeter I would have sent him to the Dark Arena next turn.
-- Spartacus
Cardow Hunters -- Grassfire's battle with Cincius is the type of fight I enjoy. I
enjoy it even more when I win, as in this case. Two evenly matched warriors as far
as win/loss records and recognition, but what some consider to be two very different
fighting styles. These are the fights where you can get the best insights on how the
arena works. -- Spartacus
Cardow Hunters -- Sweet Birch has sealed Abilyx's fate. The only poor attribute he
has is his speed, yet he cannot seem to win. Dark Arena time. -- Spartacus
Blunt Force -- Cyborg 420 managed to get Rutilius a reprieve from the Dark Arena. It
may only be a short one, as I do not think I am going to go on a long winning streak.
As for fighters who do not wear armor, here are some results. Rutilius did go up
against Pary Como and he died. Mary Wanna, B. Furious, Sushi, Kulmar, Miss Conduct,
Bag of Bones, Samm wore no armor and won. Cold Guinness, Stabby Frog, Miley Virus
wore no armor and lost, 5 wins, 7 losses and a kill. Shows that going into a fight
without armor is not an automatic win and your warrior could die. -- Spartacus
Lapur -- In regards to my rant back in turn 654: The results of that turn were only
the last in a long string of incidents, financial and personal, that I thought had
been settled to everyone's satisfaction, then I had missed the Mail-in tourney due to
a strange quirk in mail delivery. From the turn date and the postmark I should have
received it early enough to participate, but I did not get it until the morning of
the tourney when I picked up my mail on my way home from work. Then, about two days
before receiving the notorious turn 653, I learned that one of my dogs had a blown
ACL--yes, the same injury football players get--and the cost of the surgery to
correct this was only $3000.00. But I think the biggest frustration has been the
loss of almost two years work analyzing turns. Back when I first started playing, I
had a winning percentage of about 30%. So I started analyzing my old turns. I
looked at recognition difference, win-loss records, style versus style, weapons vs
armor, read the turnsheets looking for those certain statements that I came to
recognize as what some players call "crits" and tried to figure out why, and looked
at skill learns versus wit and attribute bumps versus will. I had over 400 turns to
go through when I started and then there were the current turns. When I finished I
had a large three-ring binder full of charts and graphs, a notebook full of hand-
written notes, and I even managed to get some of it into the computer but was having
problems coming up with a format I liked. Then I moved from California to Texas. I
made five moves while in the Navy and never lost a thing, but this time the movers
managed to lose the box that had all my Duel stuff. Quite a setback. But I was able
to make any adjustments to character strategy that I needed from memory, same with
character generation. Then, over the last year or so, my adjustments and creations
have not worked as well as in the past. It has been rather frustrating not to be
able to go into all those notes and charts I had made. I might add that I had also
gotten advice from managers who are no longer active and from a compilation similar
to my own called the Enchiridion. Did not agree with everything in that compilation
but it was still a good reference. So my frustrations kind of led to my blow-up. So
Ora, you did not hurt my feelings and your Bloodfeud was not a stupid thing, and yes,
you are correct, you have four consecutive turns not five, and someone challenged on
the first turn costing you your first shot at the Bloodfeud, no need to apologize.
Owlsy, I once had a discussion off game with another player about how recognition
affects a fight. My research was lost when I moved but I do remember that the
difference in recognition is not as great as some think before the advantage goes to
the warrior with the higher recognition. That is why I get a little upset when
someone intentionally downchallenges and why I feel no shame in revealing as much
about that fighter as I can. Roadkill, in response to you avoiding any godling I may
have, it has been a long time since I had a godling and he died in his first fight.
The one fighter I am proud of is old Marcus, my Wall of Steel who was in the arena
for what seemed like forever. My first attempt at a Wall of Steel. As someone who
has been playing this for a loooong time I am just trying to get to a 50% win rate
and then call it quits, but with the turns and rollups I have been getting over the
last year, it may never happen. -- Spartacus
Yyttria -- You need to change the rules, then, maybe... Gladiator Scrabble, allowing
only the names, styles, and weapons of gladiators, teams, and arenas? Still limited,
but limited differently. -- Grassfire
The Iron Lung -- You're loud, no doubt about that, but it wasn't a shouting contest,
you know. Have you considered becoming a town crier? -- Stormrider
Ambitious Guards, ha! I eat 'em for breakfast. -- Hardwood
P.S. With salsa.
Abilyx -- Looks like the handicapper might have a grudge against you. I note that
the announcer said that I was "exploiting your weakness." Your weakness was, you
didn't move. You just stood there and let me hit you. This is contra-indicated, you
know. -- Sweet Birch
Khan -- Damn, that's embarrassing. -- Claybank
P.S. Although I *am* skilled in losing with flair.
Cincius -- I kept expecting the announcer to add more sylables to your name. Like
"Cincinnatius" or something, you know? Ouch. -- Grassfire
