DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Don't know what happened to my words of wisdom from last time. Must have gotten caught
up in the hive of activity that is a face to face. Nice try by Rocky. Perhaps for a
boxer of such reknown, fists would be a more appropriate weapon. Looks like there's
lots of AB's to avoid around here. I've asked the commission to grant us a couple of
extra avoid slots each turn. Certainly would help keep the peace around here.
-- Sgt. Rock
Military Mayhem
3-time Duelmaster of Chimlevtal
SPY REPORT
SGT. ROCK challenged HERMIONE GRANGER this time out. 4 minutes later, the dust
had settled and SGT. ROCK had won again. HERMIONE did earn the most popular warrior
award and remained a challenger champ. That was just the beginning for MILITARY
MAYHEM as they won another 4 fights (and 3 awards) this turn. Since their return,
they have won 17 fights and lost 0. Can anything or anyone stop the mayhem?
The warriors of BASH BROS OCEAN also were perfect at 4-0. I'm sure they'd love to
start a 17-0 run, but long history says those kind of runs are very rare regardless of
who the manager is, what kind of gems the warriors are, or even if those warriors are
modified by tournament prizes (there is a tournament coming soon, one more turn of
preparation for all you Chimlevtal managers; I personally am excited by the fact that
the dates for the tourney allow for me to have the arena results for Chimlevtal's turn
that follows the tourney).
Before I get to all the juicy bits and information, I'll go through the less earth
shattering stuff. All ten styles were represented on the sands -- with at least 2
warriors each. Lungers were a very fine 6-1 and aimed blows were a dismal 2-6 (I have
to wonder if those numbers are related, especially since lungers tend to have the
advantage in head to head matches until later in their careers). In the ten turn
rankings, these two styles are currently 7th and 8th, both under 50%. Meanwhile, the
parry hybrids continue to rule those rankings. Clearly we have some veterans managers
here who want to succeed with the 'off' styles. We saw 14 teams in the listings; all
14 teams sent warriors (49 total) to the sands! The 26 fights could be described as 3
DA's, 1 BF, 12 Challenges, and 10 matchups. More challenges than matchups suggests
there is a lot of challenging going on. No commission stand ins were called to the
sands!
Then we get to the fun stuff! The most avoided team was again AFTER MIDNIGHT. No
surprise here. They have no issues with using every tool available to win! Sitting
warriors and vicious down challenging are every day conversations in Weirdo's training
grounds. They received 10 of the 48 avoids compared to a mere 6 for the next most
avoided team. HOGWART'S STUDENTS and BASH BROS OCEAN sent three avoids each, but 5
teams sent at least 1 avoid.
I don't see any vicious down challenging this time (perhaps because AFTER MIDNIGHT
only fought a single warrior). EL CHUPACABRAS went down 1 to BOONDOCKS (maybe EL C.
was trying to either win or set up a vicious challenge next turn in a loss - if so,
the second part failed, because EL C. is still an adept in spite of losing). Assur's
ROCKY went down 10 to face LAVA CAKE GOLEM and won in 2. The only other challenge
down in recognition was SGT. ROCK's, who was going after anyone or anything that
wasn't an aimed blow. SGT. ROCK was the most challenged warrior -- I'm guessing those
aimed blows were wanting more than a piece of the rock.
WAND and OLIVER WOOD traded words in the personals. Meanwhile, WAND sent a
challenge to GREGORY GOYLE. I'm not sure what they are teaching at Hogwart's these
days, but Smithy sure knows what to do with a wand. Maybe we'll get some more
personals next turn? Meanwhile, WAND is now 6-0 and ranked at the very top of the
Challenger Adepts. A very nice start to a career!
Thanks to all who wrote! I know it takes time, effort, and energy to send a DM
Column or personal ad! But it makes our arena better. I know it is already the best
arena, but outsiders may not know that. Crip, Smithy, Riff-Raff, and Agent R -- Thank
you! I don't always give enough appreciation to those that write (and the ones that
regularly contribute and missed this turn know who you are).
I saved the best for last! Welcome back, Ghab! He brought back both THE OTHER
ONES and ASSASSIN nation. The arena wasn't the same without you. THE JEFF was
assassinated by TANTRUM in a 1 minute uneven struggle. Perhaps this isn't the best
for Channel Master, but my desire to see the blood flow was well satisfied with Ghab
not only notching a kill, but a veteran warrior kill.
