DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Lords and Ladies of Arvat, I bid you all greetings. I have attained my title of
Duelmaster by defeating our departing Lord Protectorette, May Fistafoles. I had
fought May in the past so I knew that I was going to have my hands full. I had a
great week of practice coming in to this fight and I felt like I was at the top of my
form. I issued my challenge earlier in the week and I was hoping to get the answer
that I wanted. Fortunately, I did. When the fight started I knew I had to get on
the offense and stay on the offense. In two prior turns May had fought my guildmate
Savory, both times Savory roared out and May faced an onslaught that most would wilt
under. Both times Ms. Fistafoles weathered the storm and came out on top. I
couldn't allow May to turn the tides.
In our previous fight I came out full bore. My hatchet was flashing all over
the arena sands. However, as pretty as my hatchet work looked, it was all for naught
as I was unable to hit my opponent. She took me into the second minute of our melee
before I finally landed a shot. Luckily for me I found a chink in her armor and I
was able to put her down with my second hit. I knew this fight would be different as
May had much more experience and had been given her optimal fighting style the week
before. I had to be on if I wanted to win.
As soon as the signal was given I came out intent on not allowing my opponent to
swing. I had ditched my usual hatchet and pulled out the heavy artillery (a
scimitar). Since in our first fight I was able to take down May with two shots I
figured that I would only have to land one blow with this big boy. In most fights I
like to circle around my opponent to find an opening to swing. This time I decided
to take it right to her. My first swing was a vicious one that landed true. I
knocked May onto her back. Being aware that she was fully capable of springing on to
her feet to turn the tide I kept on her. My next few swings landed on their target
and I felt I was on my way to victory. May wouldn't given up the title that easily.
May parried a couple of my next few swings, she was desperate to find that opening to
get back upright. With my tenth swing I landed my third deep cutting stroke. It was
too much for May. The Arenamaster watching to whole time to make sure that things
didn't get fatal stepped in front. With blood pouring from a nasty wound to May's
ribcage, she was unable to continue. I had won!
Soon after the fight I was greeted by the Gladiatorial Commission. I had met
all requirements for my induction to Immortality. After my next fight I will go
forth to the Free Blades Regional and join my guildmate and friend Stylish to test my
mettle against the best that Alastari has to offer. I would have liked to have
enjoyed more time up here but a one turn reign as Duelmaster will have to suffice.
This next turn I will be testing the Dark Arena. I hope I have better luck than
Stylish did. I had wanted to avenge my fallen Compatriot Pretty Wild against Tad
Deville but the Trainer has other things in store for him.
I have enjoyed my stay here in Arvat. I hope to see you all in Advanced.
Your Duelmaster,
Trademark
Well, with Trademark receiving his invite and Pretty Wild being slaughtered this
marks the last turn of my original five warriors. This team has been an absolute
blast to run. Every warrior was good and special in their own way. Trademark
graduates with an arena record of 17-4-3 and a tourney record of 5-6-0 in two
tourneys. In the October Mail In he went 3-3 with an awful input error on his
strategy. He easily could have been 5-1 after round 6. I really had liked his
chances to TV that tourney. Trademark graduates with an Advanced Master Initiative
and Masters in Attack and Decisiveness. His favorite learn (Initiative) and favorite
rhythm are very slasher like (High/Very Low) but his favorite weapon is the
longsword. I've never graduated a longsword favorite SL before. I am eager to see
what he can do with it. Trademark will continue his career in Free Blades. I'm not
sure if he is really a long term warrior but I have time to decide about that.
Trademark is an overall minimum of +11 with a +15 possible making two of my original
five +10 or better. I wish I could have gotten Ghostzapper and Pretty Wild both out.
I'll keep running them in Dead Tourneys. Maybe one day 10 years from now they will
get out.

SPY REPORT
Welcome ARVAT. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I
fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! DEVIL ADVOCATES were a
bunch of dogs after SARATOGA GLORY got through with 'em! 3rd ain't so sweet as 1st!
OBSIDIAN GOLEM was reminded on the sands why TRADEMARK is Duelmaster. I suppose you
want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. ARVAT thinks DEVIL ADVOCATES
and their 767-450-40 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... The
bums at DEVIL ADVOCATES couldn't face the challenges from DEVIL ADVOCATES! No excuse
for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
BASKERVOLE! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. DEATH KNIGHT
didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from SILVER TRAIN of
SARATOGA GLORY, who is 19 points below him. SILVER TRAIN perhaps got his just
desserts, seeing as he subdued DEATH KNIGHT and ended up with 31 recognition points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see,
places to go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
ARVAT is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
The Trainer -- Thanks for the welcome back. I was interested in seeing what
transpires in Arvat these days. Not sure how long I will stay but I do have five
goals I would like to accomplish here. We shall see if I can complete them. Sensoo
O Suru, Thor and myself will stop by the Blue Boar Inn for an ale. Charon and Death
Knight would probably not be welcome. The cold they radiate along with the tattered
black robes and their skeletal appearance preclude them from many social events. --
The Icelord, manager of The Stormlords
Fisherman's Wharf -- Good to see you. Regards to Lulu. -- The Icelord
The Dark One -- Salute. -- The Icelord
Managers of Arvat -- The glorious arena of Chimlevtal (31) is approaching its 250th
cycle. Many agree that Chimlevtal is the greatest and toughest arena on Ghea and we
want to celebrate! What we desire is for ALL managers who have ever ran a team in
Chimlevtal to return and run 5 warriors on turn #250. If you have never had the
privilege of managing gladiators on its sands, we invite you to do so now. (There
are only 2 unchartered teams-free fights can be taken by the bold.) Turn #249 is due
2/11/05. Our goal is to have 30 teams with 150 warriors duel in Chimlevtal on turn
#250. We ask you to join us in this historic event. Salute! -- The Council of Lords
The Dark One -- Please ask the mighty Caesar to return to Chimlevtal and extend my
personal invitation to him to join in on the turn #250 historic event! -- The Icelord
Arvat -- Anyone have any ideas how to celebrate Arvat's 500th cycle?? -- The Icelord
Tad Deville -- I thought I had you.... I thought I had you..... -- the Ghost of
Pretty Wild
For all of those that are interested, Pretty Wild was 11(+2)-11(+1)-13-17-17-5-13.
She had a Master Attack (+2) and Experts Initiative, Parry and Defense. She seemed
to be a Defense favorite learn and a Scimitar favorite as well. I tried a bunch of
different stuff with her. I'd run her anywhere from 10-10-x to 3-2-X in minute one
depending on the match up or challenge. She never fought in any tourneys so what you
saw was what you got. She was a lot of fun and will be missed.
Tad Deville -- Just consider yourself lucky that the boss doesn't want me to wipe the
sands with you. I wouldn't have taken it easy on you. -- Trademark
May Fistafoles -- Good fight. Thanks for the title fight. -- Trademark
All -- <SALUTE!> -- Trademark
Arenamistress Sugar -- I don't know how I lost that fight. Good job though. --
Stylish
Lil Eth -- That was just a preview of what your boy Tad is going to face. -- Savory
Tad Deville -- Unless Buffy there fights the winner of us should be the Duelmaster.
May the best warrior win. -- Savory
Thor -- Sorry about the rough treatment. I hope that we see each other around. --
Silver Train
Charm City Hustlers, the Stormlords and Buffy's Diner -- Feel free to introduce
yourselves. Again, I am the Trainer, mgr. of Saratoga Glory. I know most of us
managers are slightly jaded but I do my best to still be as vocal as possible around
here. I keep doing my best to bring back that old school DM feel. I look forward to
everyone hopefully contributing. -- the Trainer mgr. Saratoga Glory
Devil Advocates -- Would it kill you guys to write a DM column or at least an ad
every once in a while? -- Saratoga Glory
Death Knight -- Jeez! You really follow your name don't you? -- the Trainer
12 January 2005

independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!

31 January 2005
My fellow duelists I come before you bearing a sad and unfortunate message.
Several months ago our group, the Vendetta Cartel, had lost contact with one of our
friends. Since he was in contact or correspondence on an almost daily basis there
was concern amongst us. With some research two of our members discovered why contact
was lost with him.
On November 10, 2004, Richard Hammes was taken from us in a senseless act of
violence during a robbery attempt at a friend's store where he sometimes worked. He
was watching the store so his friend could go home to tend to his son who had taken
ill. You may have known Rich as Abarsis, The Slaughter Priest ; richh10 on the RT;
or gameogre on the Duel2 messageboard. You may not have known that he spent 13 years
serving the United States in the Navy.
Rich dearly loved this game and all it encompassed. He may not have been the
best or most experienced manager but he loved to interact with others and was quick
to offer advice whenever anyone asked for help. He was always kind and gracious and
tried to strengthen our game, often by helping new players feel welcome or give them
a chance to compete. With his prolific posting I know that I am simply speaking the
obvious about what he did for our game. Many, like me, were drawn to him, perhaps
for his kind nature or his sense of humor, and it appears he lived his life as he
played this game. Always willing to help or do right by others.
I realize that he had many friends outside the VC so I will include the link to
the news story in case any of his other friends would like to know more of what
happened. We're all dealt a hand in life but it's not the strength of the hand
you're dealt but rather how you play it that really matters. Rich played his hand to
the very best of his human ability and for this I admire him greatly. I know we all
choose to like or dislike managers but I believe deep down we are all good and
decent, in this game, and will drop party (alliance) lines and will show the proper
respect.
http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20041112/news_7m12clerk.html
Rich was taken from us all to soon and with so much left to offer the community
around him. He spoke of a desire to run a contest on the Duel2 site which I hope to
uphold in his name. Some of the people I have spoken with think it would be a nice
gesture to do one final good act in Rich's name, though it could never match what he
would've done within his community, for his community of San Diego. I hope that with
this contest we might raise a little money to donate to an appropriate charity within
San Diego in his name.
In conclusion I send a message to Rich:
"Rich, though I'm sure you gathered this I never really told you how much I
admired you and what a friend I considered you. I thank you for being my voice of
reason and always reminding me of why we both loved this game so much! You have
taught me one final valuable lesson in learning more of you. There are things far
more valuable in life than material possessions such as character and kindness. That
nothing going on in your life means that you cannot find a way to be kind and giving
to others. We always spoke of meeting someday and until we finally do know that you
will live on in with me and the rest of your brothers and sisters in the Cartel:
Master Darque, Kat, Bum, Sensei Jan, Maximillian, Hammer, Fizban, Firehawk, Phat
Phat. You increased all of our enjoyment of this game, you were a true ambassador of
Duelmasters, and the game will not be quite the same without you. A farewell battle
cry from the ZalCon: 'Confusion to our enemies'. May your soul rest in peace, my
friend."
Should anyone wish to correspond about Rich feel free to contact myself, or
anyone else within the Vendetta Cartel.

Be it known throughout Alastari that Hammer is no longer a member of the
Vendetta Cartel alliance.
A difference of opinion with another highly respected member of the VC due to my
recent vocal actions in DM 47 can only be resolved by my resignation from the VC as
of January 29, 2005.
I leave of my own accord, in good standing with all members and with no hard
feelings towards anyone in the Vendetta Cartel.
There was a time when I felt that my membership in the VC made the alliance
stronger. I know that my resignation today makes the Vendetta Cartel a stronger
alliance with my absence. -- Hammer

On behalf of the ILLUMINATI Confederation of Alliances (The kLk, CHAOS, Inc. and The

loss of Rich Hammes to both the DM community and to the real life world. Surely our
loss has been Heaven's gain. -- Talon Darkhart, deeply sorrowful
