DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
A gentleman should only have two turns in office, and for that reason, I shall
be giving up the Title next round. I want to spend time with the wife and kids while
I am still young. (Translated by The Consortium Scribe -- "I have too many PP's and
I cannot afford to take a chance at getting more if I want to run in the FTF in St
Louis.")
I want to send my best wishes to anyone who is challenging or in line for the throne.
Treat it well. (Translated by The Consortium Scribe -- "I could beat any one of
them.") I also want to thank my Manager and teammates for all their hard work to get
me where I am. They are a great group. (Translated by The Consortium Scribe --
"Keep the donations and bribes rolling".)
I have little else to offer in this column, so I am off to a vacation and some rest.
(Translated by The Consortium Scribe -- "Just a little stop in The Caymans with a
young good-lookin' babe, before I hear home to the wife and kids.") I wish you well.
(Translated by The Consortium Scribe -- "I hope I score".)
Senator Sedalia
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly IAYE games. Former top team THE WARLOCKS was unseated
this week as GAMEHENDGE moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0
record for the round. My praise to THE A'S -- LOSERS II for their 4-1-0 week this
time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! THE RIVER
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested ADMIRAL
ISO and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable
duels, THE RIVER put down ADMIRAL ISO, causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in
the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, SENATOR SEDALIA
has lost the title of Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the
usurper. All hail MESSENGER BIRD, Duelmaster of IAYE! Heed this! A seer has warned
that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In IAYE "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. THE A'S -- LOSERS II is feared. This much I can
say. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better
part of last week avoiding THE A'S -- LOSERS II. Indeed it was LENPROS. Loose talk
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after STEINBACH. Watch your back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Let all swords of the city take heed! By law, WRESTLMANIACS has
but one remaining week to take their revenge upon MESSENGER BIRD for the slaying of
THE ROCK. Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure,
better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in IAYE as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as
ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till we meet
again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Tela -- Perhaps I had more political clout than I thought! Thanks for the tussle,
though. -- Senator Sedalia
Leeta -- "Verbally unarmed"?! I loved that statement! -- Lenpro
Gamehendge -- You wrote the book and it had no religion. -- Pastor Pentane
Messenger Bird -- Ok, ok. I got the message! And it hurt! -- Dr. Rosenzweig
Freeda -- Ahoy. I'm glad I found you! -- Admiral Iso
Rowdy Roddy -- You fail to honor your namesake. -- Crazy Fingers
Senator Sedalia -- Congrats on your wins and the title. I guess most people would
brag more about being 16-0 but really it was just luck. -- Bertha
Dr. Rosenzweig -- Three strength and a dagger. Shouldn't you be winning these? --
Messenger Bird
Gissanniah -- I may be little and weak but at least I don't smell. -- Tela
Lenpro and Leeta -- Thanks for letting me know about this funky messaging system
here. I guess this beats muttering under my breath. -- Malaquar
P.S. Downchallenge away, I don't mind.
Self -- And I thought my endlessly interesting and mysterious names made the
newsletter exciting enough. Hrumph.
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
