is time to salute glorious Chimlevtal! -- The Council of Lords

The landscape at the top of the cliff was vast beyond anything reasonable for
such an apparently small island. A plain slanted away from the edge until it was
swallowed by distance and dim light. Near at hand were wind-shaped boulders of dark
ice, studded with stones. Tempus was circling one of them warily, like a hound that
isn't sure what he'd encountered but was sure it couldn't be trusted. The Prince of
Ar was staring into the distance.
"What happened to you?" Muirona asked, her voice pitched low so that neither
gladiator heard it. "I felt the power moving, but I could not guess where it was
going or why."
The Icelord glanced at her. She looked worried, and with some justice, since
she had cast her lot with his in this matter of the island and was depending on his
ability and judgment. "I sensed that my sword-brother Bosk was endangered in some
fashion and would benefit by my aid," he said, choosing his words. "I judged that I
could give him that aid without impeding our efforts here. So I aided him, as he
would have done for me had the positions been reversed." He shrugged that off and
squinted into the miles of this unnatural plain. "Tell me what makes this possible."
The elf woman looked along the plain and shivered. "It is an open wound in the
fabric of the world," she said. "Someone with more power than good sense has...
well, spliced another world to this one." She studied the bleak land and dim light,
the strange purple sky, and shivered again. "This is the realm of Old Night."
"A place where the Brothers of Night you mentioned live or find power?"
"Yes. And few others would be so heedless as to do this, even if they had the
power. It strains the... fabric of the universe? Laws of reality? It is profoundly
unnatural, and we must make it stop."
"How come these Brothers aren't afraid to strain this fabric?" the Prince of Ar
asked.
Muirona's lip curled in scorn. "They thrive on chaos, or what they believe to
be chaos. They believe they will have an advantage over everyone else if they can
rip reality apart and make things... change."
"Lots of people think like that," Tempus said idly. "We'll make them see it
differently." He hadn't taken his eyes off the landscape, and now he said, "What are
those creatures?"
The Icelord turned his attention to the specific details of the view before
them. In the foreground, icy desolation. In the middle ground, movement: two, no
three, creatures fled at what was probably their top speed. They were gray and
vaguely ape-like, sometimes upright, more often using their long arms to aid their
flight. Low-grade minions of villainy, he decided, dangerous in large numbers or
when they had the advantage of surprise, but not otherwise. In the far distance... a
hint of movement, a suggestion of a dust cloud. "A large group, perhaps an army,
coming this way," he said.
Though The Icelord had been speaking mostly to himself, the Prince of Ar tipped
his head in question. "Could be, but... what will they do with an army when they
reach this cliff and the little beach where we landed?"
"Be hard to get an army down that path," Tempus agreed, "and what will they do
for boats?"
Muirona looked around, startled, then moved back to the very edge of the cliff.
She stood motionless there, seeming to listen. "The island is moving," she
whispered.
The Icelord nodded. "It seemed a logical deduction," he agreed. "These...
Brethren make their unnatural bridge out in the middle of the sea, where they can
hope to escape notice, then, once it is established, extend it to touch the shore
near their target." He glanced at Muirona. "And that target would be?"
Muirona was standing utterly still, face white and eyes wide, staring at
something only she could see. After a moment, her lips moved. "Mara Balor. All the
cities of the Delta and the coast which are nominally subject to King Arrengilas.
The power to oppose Old Night is strongest there. When they fall, the human cities
will helpless."
High Lord Bosk followed Molly. The tunnel was too narrow for them to go side by
side, which made it hard to talk. The noise, the deep groaning of a mountain in
distress, wasn't helping, either. But he had to know things. Answers to... he
couldn't quite remember what his questions were. Something had happened back in that
cavern, he remembered the cavern, and now an enemy was playing tricks with his
memory. He scowled. That shouldn't be possible!
And why did he have the conviction that The Icelord had been present? That was
not sense. All he had to do was look around, which he did again, to see that The
Icelord was not here.
The mountain shook continuously, the in-slanting walls and the floor of the
tunnel trembling. He could feel it through the soles of his feet, through his hand
whenever he touched a wall. And he thought the passage was getting narrower. Not
just because it had been dug narrower, but because the walls were shifting toward
each other. Dust sifted downward through the light cast by Molly's lantern.
He reached forward to touch Molly's shoulder. When she looked back at him, he
asked, "How much farther? This isn't safe!"
"Soon!" Her voice was strained. "But running would be more dangerous--and
there's no room to run anyway."
That was true enough. Bosk nodded. Okay. Soon, then, when they got out of
this tunnel to some safe place, well, some safer place, he would ask... whatever
questions occurred to him. What he had fought and why he couldn't remember it.
A harder jolt caused the floor to leap under his feet. He braced one hand
against the shuddering wall to stay upright and followed Molly as she staggered
onward.
"IF your cities of the delta fall," the Prince of Ar corrected. "You have The
Icelord and High Lord Bosk to aid you, as well as the two of us." He indicated
Tempus and himself. "What do we do?"
It was The Icelord who answered. "Somewhere there is a magician who is making
this happen, this... juncture of the two worlds. He must be found and stopped." He
pinned trembling elf woman with a commanding stare. "How best might we find this
person? Is there some distance limit, some special position he must be in to keep
this juncture open?"
Muirona shook herself and frowned. "It may be a man or a device," she said, but
in either case it can't be more than three miles from the edge of the interpenetrated
area. A supporting device would be... something like a star, about ten feet tall,
and possibly not visible to normal sight. A man..." she shrugged, "he might be
hiding, or not. So far as I know, there is no special requirement for location. Not
like, oh, that there has to be a stream, or a special kind of rock, or line of sight
to the whole interpenetrated area." She looked around the nearer part of the
plateau, and her expression was one of despair. "We could search for days."
"We will not need so long," The Icelord said. He didn't think Bosk had 'days'
before the soul-peril of the Horror returned to him. He wanted this danger here
ended, if possible, before he went in search of his sword-brother.
Under normal circumstances--even here, in this strange world, he believed--it
would be possible, even easy, to scry for the magician or device that was causing
this effect. Magical detection had its limits, but it did work. Here and now... the
very effect of the spell, the juncture of worlds or planes, was distorting the local
Arcanum to such an extent that accuracy was impossible and even a general reading
would have to be regarded as unreliable. He grimaced. He grimaced. If Bosk were
here beside him--safe-- He snorted laughter. High Lord Bosk and 'safe' did not
belong in the same sentence; his sword-brother thrived on adventure and danger.
Better to concentrate on his own tasks and get them done.
"I am going to try a spell of detection," The Icelord said. "Given the
distortion of the Arcanum, it might be wise for you to shield yourself and my men,
Muirona."
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings to all my fellow warriors and other patrons who have gathered for my
oration today. I appreciate all the support that has been offered to me by the fans,
and especially the training and words of wisdom that have been offered by our stable,
and the other stables that make up Noble's crew here in mighty Chimlevtal! For you
who have never come by the training grounds during a practice session -- come on by,
we're always in the need for sparring partners!
It's been truly a year full of gifts for this warrior, a year that will hopefully end
with me on the throne here at home, though only a 22-19 record for our squad (plus or
minus what happens this turn) something that we hope to improve next year. Then
again, my TC a few months back can never be taken away, and certainly served to make
the year an unforgettable one for me. The war of words that was so hot at the
beginning of the year between our stables and the COL has chilled considerably with
the coming of Winter, despite the enormity of hot air between our two sides. With my
limited wisdom, I think that is for the best anyway! I'm grateful it was Damhain I
beat for the title, it evened our record at 2-2, I'll be trying to avenge another
loss to a fellow warrior of his this turn, I challenged Unzoe the Shaman back on turn
265 and ran out of gas in minute 5. Should be a great rematch if it does happen -- I
invite you all to come out and enjoy it!
Also, for those of you who will make the journey -- I intend to go and fight for
Noble and Chimlevtal yet again in the upcoming tourney (Noble actually said no, but I
decided to go ahead and finance the journey myself -- the guy is such a cheapskate!),
so I will be fighting at your side trying to bring glory home to great Chimlevtal!
The arena is bursting at the seams with new eager talent, ready to make their marks
in one of the toughest arenas around so I'm sure we will make our home proud!
11th Commandment
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of CHIMLEVTAL! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team THE STORMGUARDS was
unseated this week as SHERMANS STABLE moved up from 6th ranking to take the top spot
with a 4-1-0 record for the round. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of
AVENGERS. How else weeks like this one's 4-0-1? How else the sudden move to 3rd
team? The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with STORMWATCH's team
record! A 4-1-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 7th place ranking. I have begun to
suspect trickery on the part of JUST DESSERTS. How else weeks like this one's 2-2-0?
How else the sudden move to 9th team? PLATOON bore the brunt of major assault on
their standings this week as they dropped to 19th position as the result of going
1-4-0! My praise to SOL INVICTUS for their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was
a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! KATANA caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested STEPHEN and was awarded 28 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KATANA put down STEPHEN,
causing him to lose 23 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the
fights this week, the spotlight was on UNZOE THE SHAMAN as he bore arms against the
challenge of reigning Duelmaster 11TH COMMANDMENT. The city has turned out in honor
of UNZOE THE SHAMAN, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest
position in the city! 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!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city CHIMLEVTAL. CHIMLEVTAL, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of
thy guilds is ALL NIGHT LONG, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any
of THE STORMGUARDS last week. Busy avoiding ALL NIGHT LONG? Loose talk at the arena
has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
GOMORRAH. Watch your back! ULL STORMHELM must really be harboring a grudge against
the DARQUE FORCES guild! Merciless, 24 challenged down GOMORRAH points this week to
duel with he. The weight of the challenge fell hard upon GOMORRAH and predictably
she was bested by ULL STORMHELM. This is how to arouse the anger of an entire guild!
A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that SNIPER
posted a challenge against the more highly recognized CINNIMON ROLLE. The results,
you ask? Well, the firebrand SNIPER was bested by CINNIMON ROLLE. Remember
warriors, this is the discipline of steel. I can not but mention with disdain the
name of ULTHAR ES who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 12 points
below in the rankings. I thought ULTHAR ES showed great skill and promise when he
overcame URN4A TREAT!. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
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 ULTHAR JARVA, at 10-17-0, departed CHIMLEVTAL forever.
Walk proud, warriors of SHERMANS STABLE! By striking down GETAFIX you have avenged
the honor of your dead. Your virtue is known to all in CHIMLEVTAL. FORINPOLITIX
must hold silent, for this week he was humbled in the arena by a successful Bloodfeud
won by CLASS OF 2008 of NUMBERS GAME. Hail CLASS OF 2008 for thy victory! Dark
alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the
brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
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

I nominate/vote for Slugbait, manager, and Unfit To Be Orcs, team, for The Chimlevtal
Hall Of Fame. I am surprised he/they are not already there. -- Sir Steel, Con
Knights
Dark Knight Goat -- Which Turf War in North Fork did you win? -- Sir Steel
Drake -- Opportunist by trade, smart-ass by choice, you DO have a way with words,
don't you? -- Sir Steel
Liam -- Okay, I thought that was your team. My apologies for my mistake...I'm man
enought to apologize when I've done so. -- Baphomet
Buddy Lee -- Write me at: Rick Stringer, 13 St. Michael's CT, Elkton, MD 21921. I
will be sure to answer you. Life has been chaotic, and I'm sure Liam told you what
I've been going through. It ain't over yet. Just beginning.... -- Baphomet
Goat -- If I may, I'll answer your question...if the warrior is no good, don't fight
it... DA on the first turn is not a penalty. TCB list? I'll let them shout it
out... as for the TW5... I'll be fighting under the banner of Swamp Syndicate...
but... since the Avengers of Light are here... want some help? I'll run the stable
here if ya do. Otherwise, it'll sit for awhile. BTW... the war here started between
Maximillian, Blackstorm and myself... just so ya know... it was about getting
paybacks on Jan (for some smart crap she brought to me personally) and having fun
with the VC. As far as I'm concerned...that part is over. But... the AOL... we'll
see. Other than Heathen, I've got friends in your alliance. -- Baphomet
P.S. If you BF... it's NOT a down-challenge. That's how I'm scoring it... as a BF.
Drake -- Dragon in a can? Ya lost me buddy. But, these days, I'm not surprised.
I'm a walking, talking, breathing pharmacy! -- Baphomet
BTW -- Circus Maximus is managed by Baphomet!!!!
Beer Bet Ending -- Ahh well!! I gave it my best shot, it was a longshot to begin
with and I started the bet a bit late. There is no way to win the bet now so I am
going to bow out this last turn. Congratulations on the win!! Send me a Diplo with
your Address and what type of beer you are looking for and I will ship it! Or I can
just send the amount to you directly for you to buy. -- Tripwire
All -- In the contest I couldn't afford to DA so had to run what I had. Here is the
sad state of the Bushmaster stable:
Wardo Bard, SL, 15FE, 7-10-17-15-17-7-11, Norm/Good, 22/9/18/1/5/15, I got this
warrior to 10-3-1!!
Berago, TP, 8FE, 17-16-13-7-17-3-11, Great/Good, -2/2/2/14/5/2, 7-1
Drugo, PS, 2FE, 21-17-13-10-7-11-5, Norm/Trem, -2/3/0/3/-4/6, 1-1
Ulek, WS, 14FE, 17-12(+1)-11-6(+2)-21-5-15(+2), Great/Good, 8/4/10/16/4/5, 4-5
Copperhead, 3FE, 9(+1)-13-10-17-15-8-13, Norm/Norm, 9/7/11/7/8/7, 1-2
All -- It's been fun but due to other obligations I will no longer be running in DM
31 for awhile. Hope to see you in the future! -- Tripwire
Denzo -- Neither. The VC disbanded, and I've never been associated with the DE. I'm
a member of the DJI (which consist of myself, Master Darque, and Maxmillian) -- Kat
Max -- Truth skewed? More like julienne fries! -- Kat
URN4A Treat -- Not nearly as fulfilling as I had hoped. -- Kat
Heaven -- It certainly was! -- Tattle Tail
High Lord Bosk -- I make the Sign of Mjolnir in your honor! Happy New Year, 1st
Sword! -- RTR
The Icelord -- I make the Sign of Arumdina in your honor! Happy New Year, 1st Mage!
-- RTR
Dessert Tribunal -- You fell Eored Rohirrim, so Ulthar Redbeard was sent to kill
Coffee Cake. That is the way it is. If you are allied with the coward Senesi Jan,
bring it on for four turns! -- Stormwatch, The Council of Lords
Guardian -- Ready to step up? Bring it on, sissy! -- RTR
11th Commandment -- How much tourney experience do you have? Give my regards to your
manager. -- RTR
I acknowledge and salute all who made 2006 a GREAT year in Chimlevtal! I look
forward to seeing who enters the Hall of Fame! Let's make 2007 even better! -- Raoul
the Rude, manager of Stormwatch, The Council of Lords
All -- The Northern Lights have arrived. We come to blind and mystify, with our
dazzling movements and freakish speed. We stand before all a shimmering mirage,
always there but just out of reach. Beautiful and yet strangely terrifying. Dancing
colors for all to behold, a swirling rainbow of death come to your world. Lock your
gaze onto our blades, before they find your throats and end your days. We gladly
walk to our deaths. Come join us and take your last breath. The Northern Lights are
here. -- Wretch
Damhain -- Good riddance to you bum! It's off to the sewing circle aboard the SS
Golden Axe... must be tough to stitch a straight line as the boat sways to and fro,
but you'll have plenty of time to hone your one true craft. -- D. Noble
P.S. Just kiddin. For a TP you exhibited a unique fighting style and always put up
a good match. Nonetheless, because your stablemates never run in AD, you must be
ridiculed one last time on your way out if you deserve it--and you guys almost always
do! Stitch a doily for me!!
Whew!! It's tough work diggin' out from such a big hole!! Our New Year's Resolution
is to get to .500 by the end of 2007! -- Warriors of the All Night Long stable
I want to throw some support behind 11th Commandment of Numbers Game for HOF honors
this year! He has now held the duelmastership, and achieved a TC, which maybe only
one or two of the other warriors already in the HOF have brought home in the past.
True, his record is not the most outstanding, but remember some of that was due to
multiple down-challenge bloodfueds early on in his career (which though, part of the
rules, this commentator finds extremely distasteful). Please understand -- this is
not a vote, merely a request for consideration for my fellow Alastarians! -- The Spin
Doctor (okay, it's Destitute Noble -- who am I kiddin')...
The Saint -- I attempt to manage all "Desolate Ones" and "Vendetta Inc." stables.
Juluis C. is one of my dead WoS of long ago. -- Dark KNight Goat
The Saint is on the sick list today, but I'm sure she'll correct her list. --
Temp Ed.
Liam -- Did not know you were managing Blackguards. Thought you was a VC lackey.
Sorry about the mistake. A 5 minute beat down by one of the better basic styles.
(smile) -- Dark Knight Goat
Kat -- Do stilettoes look good on Ferocious Felines? I know they don't feel good
when being stepped on, of course I speak of the High Ones! (sadistic grin) -- D.K.
Goat
Goldpole -- The only good thing about your last P-ad to me, was the word Pagen,
myself I am a Odinian. Next question to you, are you a female Wiccan? Salute to you
for recognizing he need for balance in these in these dire times. If you are a male
Wiccan, you must have been abused while hugging trees. As for the answer to your
next question, NO! you can not join the Desolate Empire. This is only if you are
confused as to the difference between a sheep and a goat. -- D.K. Goat
D.K. Osiris -- You mut remember that most managers that have been gaming for over 7
years, have usually built their ego up along with their win %. Remember, my brother,
the past always repeats itself, 1st you guys shook Hammer down (smile), now look who
is breaking down like a cheap shotgun, APEX! As usual, Denzo Masters did not fight.
I like your cut downs, you are one of the most original people that I have met.
There is an ancient saying; "Birds of the same feather, flock together," if you look
at Apex's flock I only recognize Doc Legrande and Street Legal. Were they in a
manual or two? Who cares what Apex thinks! He/she/it is trying to hide outside?
Myself, I have made my intentions clear about Apex, by the time I am done with him
he will be know as ditch. You know I have your back. -- DK Goat
You have his back? Return it to him at once! What if he wants to turn around?
Apex -- Name the arena or contest, Turf War. I don't care, put up or shut up. You
have been officially Goat slapped across your fragile gaming ego. -- Goat
All -- My name is X-Man and I manage the X Factor team. -- X-Man
Denzo -- As I am no Dark Knight, I will stand with them! I feel you need help with
your attitude, and your mouth! I'll see you in Jan. -- X-Man
DK Toker -- I was going to shoot you a diplo but I'll let you get on your feet.
Sorry I got caught up in some stuff and I couldn't make it to your farwell, but I'll
catch up with you and buy the beer! You also better be keeping an eye out for
"Potato-head" she is coming your way! Wish you will, bro. -- X-Man
DK Osiris -- Hey, I was suprised to not hear anything crazy from you on this last
turn! I'll be back with you in Chimlevtal in Jan. The first one I'm trying to see
is this Denao dude. I went to the 7th round in the tourney, no TV but I still need
to keep my hands warm, murmph whatever! -- X-man
The Zoo Keeper -- Hope you got the diplo! -- X-Man
High Lord Bosk and RTR -- Well met! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Mighty Lords!
Salute! -- The Icelord
RTR -- Guardian won't show in Chimlevtal. WAY too tough here for that coward. Good
hunting! -- The Icelord
Dawn Marie -- I am COL. When you "Avengers of Light" get a clue, look me up. --
Ulthar Cyaxares
The Zoo Keeper -- 9 WT can use dagger, hatchet, warhammer, mace, battleaxe,
broadsword, morningstar, short spear, warflail, great axe, greatsword, long spear,
halbard & maul. -- The Icelord
Depending on style, of course.
The Nighthawks -- Don't go into hiding. The VC may have collapsed but you're still
welcome to a good old Chimlevtal thrashing! -- The Stormguards
Managers of Chimlevtal -- The COL-VC war started in early '95 and ended with the
dissolution of the VC on turn #270. Many colorful and nefarious managers were
involved in what I believe to be the longest war in the history of Duelmasters.
Master Janos plans to write a brief history in the next month or so. Should be
interesting. Salute! -- The Icelord
the Scribe -- Keep up the great story lines! Happy '07! -- The Council of Lords
Norgen Pelh -- I will take your advice under consideration. -- Unzoe the Shaman
11th Commandment -- Too much wine the night before! How much FE do you have? -- Lord
Protector Damhain the Satyr
The Council of Lords are proud to present Chimlevtal History Facts: On turn #110
(6/18/94) there were 26 teams listed in Chimlevtal. They were: The Equestrians, Bad
News Bees, Dagarath Guards, The Devastators, The Stormguards, Legion of Doom, True
Brits, South of Heaven, Energeia, Bushmasters, The Inner Sphere, Loony Toons, Silver
Blades, The Bloodguard, Foreign Legion, Avengers, Black Company, Team Supreme!!!, The
Nighthawks, Caesar's Pool Hall, The Network, Death Inc., Brigands, Femme Fatale,
Death Jesters & Aggression Xpress. The Duelmaster was Antrobus of True Brits, a 19-12
PS.
The Icelord & RTR -- Merry Christmas! May your holidays be MOST great and grand! To
the Royal Families I send our most sincere best wishes for a prosperous and healthy
new year! -- High Lord Bosk
Chimlevtal (and even you Sr. Goat) -- Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all! --
High Lord Bosk and the Council of Lords
Tommy Franks -- I'm sure you're a good boy... well, maybe a bit of a punk, but what
youngster isn't? Stop parrying with your face and you may live to grow out of it,
eh? -- Loden Norvis
Stephen -- I hate suave short men in fancy suits who look up their noses at me.
Wait, that doesn't sound right... but if you're shorter, how can you look DOWN your
nose at me? Still, you seem to have managed it. -- Norgen Pelh
Ulf Stormhelm -- I hate you guys who party all night. I used to be able to do that,
but I'm just getting too old. It's the pits. -- Les Nayle
P.S. Seems like there are Stormhelms coming out of the woodwork these days.
Dirden II -- Listen, you nasty-tempered upstart, there are people here who would make
better targets for you than I do. Go after THEM. -- Mendal Omshil the unconciliatory
Ull Stormhelm -- Right, what Les said. Stormhelms everywhere we turn. Oh, well. --
Kolum Marod
P.S. Actually, it's just that it's been so long since our manager operated in a
really healthy active arena that it's a surprise. Pleasant, on the whole, but still,
a bit of a surprise.
P.P.S. But if somebody starts a contest here, we're gone.
Gemini Gold Phoenix -- I am in 93. And in... hmm, might be easier to list the arenas
I'm not active in, but we don't need to go into that here. (pause to check team
name) Middle Way 7. Gods, it's been a long time. I'm up to Middle Way 16 on
Noblish Island now. -- Jorja
P.S. Ah, you DID know that I'm a house player with considerable experience, kept in
93 to provide whatever advice and assistance I can to beginners?
Retaeh T. Maerd -- Yeah, I didn't think so, either, but Jorja insisted. And she's a
lot meaner than I am. -- Norgen Pelh
Liam -- Why, thank you. -- Temp Ed.

NEED A TURF WAR ALLIANCE?? Master Beru, Wretch, Reaper, and Xoan have come together
to form an Alliance for the TURF WAR in DM47 with no regards for experience in
competitions or even the game. If you want to enjoy the thrills of the competition,
we have space for up to three more managers. Contact Master Beru at
d_spinella@msn.com for more information or send a note to Master Beru at DM 29--Army
of Darkness. If you are interested, we need to move quickly, since the contest
starts in January and there are a few requirements to meet to participate. May your
blades find the chinks in your enemy's armor. -- Master Beru

ANNOUNCING THE NO-TOURNAMENT ARENA (81)
As an American I honor my cultural heritage by stealing any good idea. This idea was
originally proposed by Lord Xiang in November 2005. RSI will be opening the arena
(81) for teams willing to sign the following pledge:
* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this arena to a Tournament, nor will I
use a Tournament prize on a warrior from this arena.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena. If circumstances
preclude my running less than a full team I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a Tournament shall be sent to
the Dark Arena until they are dead.
* I understand that any warrior that receives a Tournament prize shall be send to
the Dark Arena until they are dead.
The following are the rules for joining this No-Tournament arena
1. No tournament play for warriors in this arena (Dead tournament or otherwise).
2. One team per manager.
3. Teams start with new rollup (or a zero fight equivalent team is transferred into
this arena.)
4. No tourney prizes allowed to modify warriors in the arena.
5. Twenty teams required, per RSI.
6. Waivers are required to allow self-regulation on tourney ban, granting RSI
authority to Dark Arena any warrior that participates in a Tournament (until the
warrior is dead).
7. Rotating council to enforce tourney ban and maintain arena integrity.
The main purpose of the Player Committee is to maintain fair play in the arena:
* Warriors that participate in Tournaments will be sent to the Dark Arena until they
are dead. This means that the Player Committee has the power to send another
player's warrior to the Dark Arena
* Managers that abuse the rules of the Arena may be banned/transferred from the
Arena.
The player with the most votes for Chairman will fill slot 1 [Chairperson] and that
term expires end of March 2007.
The player with the most votes overall will fill slot 5 and that term expires end of
November 2007.
The player with the second most votes overall will fill slot 4 and that term expires
end of September 2007.
The player with the third most votes overall will fill slot 3 and that term expires
end of November 2007.
The player with the fourth most votes overall will fill slot 2 and that term expires
end of May 2007.
During the month that the chairperson's term expires the Player Committee will select
one of the remaining 4 players to be the next chairperson. During the month that any
member's term expires the arena will vote for a different player to join the Players'
Committee.
If you want to be a candidate for the player committee:
1. Post a message in the Duel2 Forum at
http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Forums
2. E-Mail Deke at DekeYoung@Comcast.NET
3. Send a Diplomatic Note to Doc LeGrand's Lab [ARENA 81]
There are 4 steps to joining this arena
1) Send in a new team rollup to RSI with the following pledge taped/stapled to the
rollup sheet, or transfer a ZERO FIGHT EQUIVALENT TEAM to Arena 81 and send RSI the
following form.
No-Tournament Arena (81)
* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a Tournament, nor will I
use a Tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena. If circumstances
preclude my running less than a full team I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a Tournament shall be sent to
the Dark Arena until they are dead.
* I understand that any warrior that receives a Tournament prize shall be send to
the Dark Arena until they are dead.

RSI will be processing overviews for this arena as soon as you send them into
RSI.
The first turn will run in January 2007. This will be a normal speed arena.
While I am encouraging everyone to use TEAM MAINTENANCE it is not mandatory.
The intent is that players that run turns will run a full team. One warrior teams
are discouraged and will a topic for the Player Committee to resolve.
I also encourage players to join the Duel2 Yahoo Group for faster updates and
feedback. http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/duel/

I will track Awards in Arena 81, which will be posted on a web site and included
in the following turn's newsletter.
The Honor of Sunset Award:
The first team to reach 10 Team Kills. In the case that there is more than one
team that achieves 10 Team Kills on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the team
with the most kills. If two or more teams are tied for Team Kills, I will prolong
the contest until one team has the most Kills in the Arena (it does not have to be
one of the teams that first reached 10 Team Kills.)
The Race to Victory Award:
The first team to reach 75 Team Wins. In the case that there is more than one
team that reaches 75 Team wins on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the team
with the most wins. If two or more teams are tied for Team Wins, I will prolong the
contest until one team has the most wins in the Arena (it does not have to be one of
the teams that first reached 75 Team Wins.)
The Commitment to Change Award:
The first team to reach 125 Team Fights. In the case that there is more than
one team that reaches 125 Team Fights on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the
team with the most fights. If two or more teams are tied for Team Fights, I will
prolong the contest until one team has the most fights in the Arena (it does not have
to be one of the teams that first reached 125 Team Fights.) I hope I never give out
this award {figure it out on your own.}
The Team Advancement Award:
The first team to graduate 5 warriors to ADM. In the case that there is more
than 1 team that graduates 5 warriors on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the
first team to graduate 6 warriors. In the case that there is more than 1 team that
graduates 6 warriors on the same turn, I will pay the Award to the first team to
graduate 7 warriors, and so on.
The Iron Throne Award:
The first team to hold the Duelmaster for 10 turns STARTING ON TURN 11.
The Stylemaster Award.
The first team to hold the Stylemaster Award in 7 different styles, STARTING ON
TURN 11. If two teams obtain Stylemaster Awards in 7 styles on the same turn, the
goal will be increased to 8 Styles.
Team Recognition Points: The total recognition points for all warriors in the arena
The Iron Throne Ledger: We will track who has been the Duelmaster every turn in
Arena history.
Iron Throne Counter: The total number of times a team has been the Duelmaster.
Composite Team Stylemaster awards: The number of times a team has had any of the 10

Team Invitations: Number of warriors graduated to ADM.
Team Graduation Rate: Total team fights/Graduated Warriors.

BloodFeud per death (though I encourage you to BloodFeud all 4 turns.)
Current Win Streaks: Warriors that have gone the most turns without losing or
missing a turn.
Team Yahtzee counter: Number of times a team has gone 5-0 in a turn.
Team Bagel counter: Number of times a team has fought without a win.
