DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The last turn I fought in was almost six years ago and, thanks to the magic bestowed
upon this realm, I haven't aged a bit!
I didn't expect to match up aginst the Duelmaster, but I'm glad I was able to answer
the challenge to take the throne. What a fun fight! Hanzo had me dancing until I was
able to find an opening.
My challenges this turn are both to Frog-Eye Salad as the top contender, althought I
look forward to fighting Hanzo again.
See you out on the sands!
-- Rogue
The Other Ones
SPY REPORT
Look at all the pretty undefeated streaks going! At the very head of the list is
WITCHING HOUR, coming back from inactivity well rested. Even going against the
elements themselves, WITCHING HOUR was more than able to endure 18 full minutes
against WINTER and come out on top with an 13-0 record. TANTRUM and SALT WATER
recorded their 5th and 4th against TANKEN and BOLO, respectively.
All total there were 2 Dark Arenas, 9 challenges, and 10 matchups (2 with stand
ins) for 38 warriors from 10 teams. BASORN KUBIKIRI was reported as the most
challenged warrior, with LASSO getting a minor 5 point down challenge win out of the
deal. AVENGERS was the most avoided team, getting a whopping 7 avoids (That is 7 out
of the 12 warriors who issued avoids - three from THE OTHER ONES and two each from
BASH BROS OCEAN and USEFUL WEAPONS). SOLIS MILITES also rejoined the fighting this
turn.
I can easily say THE OTHER ONES had the best team performance, going 4-1,
retaining the throne (with a chance at a three turn reign next turn), and capturing 4
awards. AVENGERS was on the other side of the team performance, taking two minor DC's
and losing twice in matchups to THE OTHER ONES. Seems like AVENGERS needs to do the
most avoiding next turn! They did get an award as a small consolation.
If I was a betting woman, I'd bet on CONTEMPT for the next ten turns. With four
TP's in the top ten, aimed blows near the top of the arena have to be happy campers.
That also suggests that BLOOD METAL could continue its undefeated streak should it
return.
Be careful when you name your warriors. While you may think you're clever, the
arena master, warriors, managers, and others may take things the wrong way.
EXTERMINATE of ASSASSIN NATION challenged BALONEY SPUMONI of JUST DESSERTS. There was
an extermination, all right, but not the one that was intended with the challenge.
Well done, BALONEY SPUMONI. It will be fun to watch how Ghab deals with the
bloodfeud. Three bottom dwellers and CONTEMPT, who may have better targets.
Thanks for all the ads and a DM column! I must say I haven't been this joyous
about the state of the arena in a long time. It truly makes for a better atmosphere
when managers and warriors participate in the forums available (not to mention teams
rejoining the fray)
So because of that I will leave my insults and belittlings until next time.

Rogue sneaks in to take the DM Title!? My kind of guy! Kudos. -- Lady Smith
What!!?? 2X4 lost to the DA? I cannot believe it, as he was such an alleged godling.
He must have caught covid before the fight. I wonder if he was slumming around with
that Bimbo Belinda? -- Lady Smith

Well, it's good to be back! If anything positive was to come out of being stuck in
"social distancing purgatory" it was cleaning out boxes that have been stored for
years. This led me to finding my old D2 binders and feeling a little mostalgic. Not
too bad. A combined 7-3-0 between my two teams (although the 0 doesn't fit my style
too well). -- Ghab, mgr Assassin Nation & the Other Ones
Winter -- Bad style matchup for you. Look on the bright side; you're still breating
and we both got good skill learns! -- Contempt
Tanken -- I hope I didn't affect you tennis game going forward. Probably not, as it
was to your non-dominant hand. -- Exterminate
Richard -- Don't take it too hard. I'm better than my record would indicate. I'll be
sitting out for a while, as I am ideally set up for a tournament now at 4fe. --
Devious
Gumball -- Ouch! -- Obliteration
Dodge'em Dude -- I thought I had you and then you went and put on your tap shoes.
Looking forward to meeting again. -- Desolation
Red Pepper -- That was a fun match! Let's do that again some time. -- Ravaged
Hanzo -- Well fought! Next time we meet we can see what happens when you don't drop
your weapon. -- rogue
Frog-Eye Salad -- Your fast! That was a lousy match-up for me. -- Defiance
Bolo -- I'm lucky my weapon also acted as a can opener. I'm still catching my breath
after that one! -- Tantrum
Nearly Parker -- Wow! Thanks for the mega learns! Ghab can't remember the last time
he has seen six learns in one fight (even with the almost six-year break)! -- Perish
