DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Here I am again, your acclaimed Duelmaster Forever. I like to sing my little
personal jingle day in and day out:
I am a can.
I think I can.
The DM Man
Forever fan.
I am a can.
Oh, it is so grand to be Duelmaster of the land, and now the most prominent of Lord
Protectors. It is wonderful to be me, Trash Can, The Man, The Chimmy Can.
--- Editor's Note: Trash Can, finally graduating and out of my sight, is a 21(+3)
18(+3)-8-6(+2)-21(+1)-9-11(+1) awesome endu, great damage, complete and total scum.
note: This column was proofread, edited to standard language, and disdained by Lady
Smith
SPY REPORT
Today was not Chimlevtal's brightest moment. Only 7 warriors represented
Chimlevtal in the recently run grand tourney. Only 2 of those had winning records.
Hard to get very excited about that. I can only hope this isn't what we have to look
forward to for the rest of the year.
The worst team performance, unfortunately, stood out the most this turn.
Unfortunately (for them), Ghostwalkers 3 went 0-5. Granted one of those was a Dark
Arena challenge and another was a 47 point bloodfeud downchallenge, but this young
manager couldn't find any breaks this turn and went winless. Small consolation was
that his team did pick up both of the unchartered awards.
The best team performance? I suppose that goes to Language Barrier, but only
just. Both The Storm Reavers and Language Barrier went 4-1, but Language Barrier won
an award and killed an NPC, so I suppose that gives them a very slight edge, even
though their one loss resulted in a death.
The Canucks were the most avoided team, receiving 8 or the 44 avoids (though The
Storm Reavers and Assassin Nation received 7 each, so it was very close).
Ghostwalkers avoided them the most. 24 warriors in total avoided 12 teams. Which is
interesting because only 10 teams fought. 45 warriors from those 10 teams, though
perhaps it should have been 9 teams each fighting full stables? Hard to say, but
when one team fights one warrior, it makes one wonder. 22 fights, 8 of which were
challenges and another 4 bloodfeuds. As usual, heavy challening and avoiding! While
Chimlevtal may not be putting forth the best fighters in the history of Alastari, no
one can claim their managers are apathetic or uncaring!
There was one minor downchallenge not counting the bloodfeuds. The bloodfeuds
were much different. Down 47, Down 36, Down 30, and Up 4. If I told you that 3 of
the bloodfeuds were successful, could you guess which one wasn't?
And before I get to the fight highlights, I am saddened to report that two of
our finest are being taken from us. TRASH CAN and KILROGG DEADEYE have both been
invited to the Isle of the Eye as Lord Protectors. I know I should be used to this
by now, but I am not. Congratulations to them and their managers. I will miss their
epic scum versus scum fights (but KILROGG will surely not miss them, being on the
losing end more times than he'd have liked).
The first fight highlight features our most challenged warrior, BASIC. BRUTALIX
was able to get his challenge through and defeated basic in 2 minutes. BRUTALIX also
has the current top undefeated start at 3. It isn't a huge streak, but it is a
beginning.
Next up is our title fight. With both challenger champions and title contenders
busy with bloodfeuds, the commission put TRASH CAN up against ISHIBO. ISHIBO was
unable to dethrone TRASH CAN, who I heard is retiring from gladiatorial combat after
next turn and will simply be full time Duelmaster. ISHIBO did get the most popular
award for the turn.
The last fight I'll mention this turn is our only downchallenge. Sure it was
only 5 points, but it was all that was needed. QUEEN OF THE NORTH viciously subdued
SHARK in a crowd boring 6 minute challenge duel. It was definitely boring, but I
wouldn't have called it vicious. Perhaps SHARK should sharpen his teeth? Perhaps
the QUEEN should put more effort into looking and acting like a queen. The cotton
candy was more vicious than this one.
See you next time! - Belinda
