It seems your "attitude" is all you had, 'cause your smushed up yoda looking face couldn't handle Lost in Pace! Congrats, Pacemaker and Lost in Pace, on your first Duelmastership on turn 666. And what's this?! Howlin' Wolf has a voice? A pathetic attempt at a personal ad but an attempt nonetheless. It's a start, Wolf man. I mean, think about it, without me and the rest of the Jacks all you have to look forward to every week is the same old nice guy Lenpro quips and Jorja's doggie breath. I think it's time for some poetry and prose, to beat a dog, just hit it on the nose, nobody avoids more than the Lenpros. Go to Home Depot instead of Lowe's. To all you average Joes, take off your pantyhose, your lack of ability surely shoes. What you reap is what you sows, plant a seed and watch it grows. It's about time to end this I suppose, round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows. -- Jack Scagnetti * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 341): CONFIDENCE of CONSANGUINEOUS (Manniquin, mgr.)

Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your deeds. The ALL JACKED UP guild has had a 4-1-2 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, ONE EYED JACK fought SPECKLE and gained 19 points and contributed to ALL JACKED UP's 4-1-2. LUMBER JACK has lost to WHITE THIGHS, falling 16 points, while helping make ALL JACKED UP a 4-1-2 turn. This turn LOST IN PACE challenged DOCTOR DERSCH in what was IAYE's Title bout. Defending its title for another turn, LOST IN PACE kept LENPROS' warrior, DOCTOR DERSCH, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dragon's Blood Inn uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the HER BEST ASSETS stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on IAYE, what are you afraid of? And avoiding HER BEST ASSETS more than any other team we find LENPROS. IAYE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was RED DOG GANG's warrior COR-CULAINN. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! Tsk, tsk, tsk. PACEMASK, does your manager know you're challenging down 22 points to fight JACK RABBIT from ALL JACKED UP? Well, it only serves justice to see that PACEMASK lost to JACK RABBIT. Heh, heh. We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? The grave that HER BEST ASSETS had dug for CLEAVAGE may yet be filled with the body of BLACK ORC. Seldom are the likes of this to be seen. CLEAVAGE lives still! Hearty mugs of ale were raised in IAYE today as DOCTOR DERSCH was bid farewell to a 10-5-0 warrior, with LOST IN PACE of PACE'S WILD standing silent and pensive. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Always good to rest in IAYE, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in IAYE again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LOST IN PACE 3196 11 8 4 133 PACE'S WILD (321) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CLEAVAGE 4838 16 7 3 108 HER BEST ASSETS (461) BUKKA WHITE 4142 20 17 1 104 DELTA BLUES (374) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WHITE THIGHS 4887 6 5 2 83 HER BEST ASSETS (461) -BUZZ 4842 18 26 0 82 ANGRY BEES (464) CHEVY PACE 4936 7 2 1 80 PACE'S WILD (321) HONORABLE HAFALE 4878 7 4 0 80 LENPROS (145) ARCHBISHOP ARNDT 4872 12 10 1 70 LENPROS (145) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LUMBER JACK 4922 6 5 1 62 ALL JACKED UP (463) -PROFESSOR PUTT 4909 5 2 1 61 LENPROS (145) -BEE MINE 4861 14 18 0 60 ANGRY BEES (464) SENATOR SMITH 4900 11 3 0 59 LENPROS (145) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SULTRY WALK 4885 8 5 1 52 HER BEST ASSETS (461) PACESON VORHEES 4891 8 7 1 48 PACE'S WILD (321) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TOOTH PACE 4890 8 7 1 40 PACE'S WILD (321) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ONE EYED JACK 4925 3 6 1 32 ALL JACKED UP (463) JACK RABBIT 4948 2 3 1 30 ALL JACKED UP (463) LEADBELLY 4405 7 8 0 29 DELTA BLUES (374) JACK SCAGNETTI 4954 2 1 1 25 ALL JACKED UP (463) BO CARTER 4956 3 0 0 24 DELTA BLUES (374) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SPECKLE 4939 6 2 0 20 RED DOG GANG (356) BLIND LEMON 4946 4 1 0 17 DELTA BLUES (374) MULEY 4960 1 0 0 15 RED DOG GANG (356) MEOFF 4957 1 1 1 13 ALL JACKED UP (463) -MINUS 4940 2 3 0 11 ANGRY BEES (464) PACEMASK 4951 3 1 0 10 PACE'S WILD (321) MIDNIGHT BARKER 4953 0 4 0 4 RED DOG GANG (356) LITTLE BAYER 4961 0 1 0 1 RED DOG GANG (356) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

A fine Pace's Wild Duelmaster. -- Lenpro Ahhhh. Voted least popular again, I see. I just love the attention! It was probably the tooth brush and Tooth Pace I used? -- Senator Smith Lumber Jack -- I was all jacked up for that fight! I love chopping stuff for exercise. -- Doctor Dersch Paceson Vorhees -- It feels good to sink a long one now and then. -- Professor Putt Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good fight. Health. Humility. Honor. -- Lenpro From all the Pace's Lost in Pace says sorry to cut so many faces. -- Lost in Pace Midnight Barker -- So you don't like my Pacemask. -- Pacemask P.S. What's wrong with a loin cloth and a full helm? Jorja -- Two dogs are now dead, neither one on purpose. Sometimes my Paces kill. -- Pacemaker Jorja -- This is more of other. -- Chevy Pace P.S. Ought nought equals double ought. P.P.S. It's now sunny. What? Pat Sajak -- Two free spins this time. I might need a vowel next turn, but in the meantime, it was kind of cool to hear from another manager. -- Pacemaker Howling Wolf -- Speak up more often. -- Pacemaker Howlin Wolf -- The fact is you shouldn't apologize. I don't care who you bloodfeud with, I was just talking smack to get you to respond. For the record, I didn't challenge Son House, I could see your point a little better, but it was a random matchup. Really, I'm not offended at all, thanks for the opportunity to skill rape you and keep the personals coming. -- Pat Sajak Pacemaker -- Congrats on your first Duelmaster! It couldn't have happened on a better turn. -- Pat Sajak P.S. Dean! Woooo! Koontz! Pat Sajak -- I was not insinuating anything about you, because: a) I don't sit around suspecting managers of wrong-doing, b) if I *did* have grounds for such a suspicion, I wouldn't "insinuate" in the newsletter, I'd call the RSI office and have them look into it, and c) filling out your turns in company with, in cooperation with, or even for, another manager is not a "wrong-doing" within the terms of the game. It is generally acknowledged that sharing your enjoyment of Duel 2 with other managers increases that enjoyment. This is why there are Face to Face tourneys, why managers form alliances, why they have message boards online. Further, running two teams, one by proxy (as with the manager's wife listed as owner-of-record for the second) is not unheard of, nor is it against the rules. And finally, there are circumstances when a manager may openly run more than one team in his own name in a non-transfer arena. I hope we have now laid this ridiculous issue to rest. It started as a casual play on words and has grown out of all reason. Let's drop it. -- Jorja Jack Scagnetti -- You don't mind a little dog hair, do you? I was sure you wouldn't. I hear there's something humans actually drink that's called Hair of the Dog, but it isn't the same thing. This just good, clean dog hair. Because I'm a good, clean dog. -- Speckle Bukka White -- Hail and fare well to you. Any time you want to fall in the lake, just give me a call, and I'll stand by to pull you out. That's one of my specialties, pulling people out of lakes. -- Splash Lost in Pace -- Heck. I hate getting lost, and this is the most lost I can recall having been, EVER. -- Ghost of Pug Minus -- Hey, listen, I'm a better barker than THAT. At least an A! -- Midnight Barker Blind Lemon -- Would you believe me if I said that wasn't an attack, that was an attempt to seeing-eye for you? No, I didn't think so. Oh, well. It was fun, anyway. -- Cor-Culainn LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS CLEAVAGE viciously butchered BLACK ORC in a crowd pleasing 2 minute Dark Arena fight.
