DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Me? Duelmaster? No way!
I guess it's true. The arena attendants just came over and draped a cloak over my
shoulders and put a crown on my head. I never thought this day would come, honestly.
Not that I'm a terrible warrior. My numbers are 12-12-13-15-21-4-7. As you all
already know, I am a lunger. The problem is this: I learn a LOT of initiative and
attack. That sounds pretty good, but as I learn very little defense and
decisiveness, I am really slow and not great at dodging. So unless I can step up to
the plate and swing and swing and swing, I get hit a LOT and lose the fight.
However, I have been at this for a while now--45 arena fights--and a few turns ago I
pulled a rating in defense, so I'm getting better at it and have won a few tough
fights against younger warriors. Again, 'cause of all the fight experience, I have
been floating up here around the Challenger Champs for a while. Thus when I
challenged Layla and pulled off the win, there I was, at 111 recognition points, and
the title was mine.
Amazing. I'm challenging Layla and Lara, as they are my best shots at a win. If I
pull it off, I should be out of here. AT LAST!!!
Anguish
Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Welcome ARVAT. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I
fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Phhbltt! Too much drinking
and too little dodging gave HOUSE OF JADE a 0-0-0! I got a good laugh out of it! Up
'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be...
Well, WAX HOSTILE's 9th moved them up to 2-3-0 place. What's with TACITUS? He
actually beat BARN OF HORRORS' COW LICHE, and walked away with 23 more points from
the fight. Laughs were big at CAESAR'S THUGS while they watched TACITUS clobber COW
LICHE. She lost 12 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I'm
sure ARVAT is excited about CANNIBALISTIC COW, the new Duelmaster from BARN OF
HORRORS. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Advice to fighters
with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, DEVIL
ADVOCATES! Management must be dealin', as the boys at ROMAN HEROES ain't reelin'!
DEVIL ADVOCATES' mad! What do people see in GREATER VRULL? His 7-8-0? GEMSTONE
BEASTS ain't talkin', but he's got 64 points. MYSTIC MIRAGE expects the easy win by
going 22 points down. GREATER VRULL will find this a hard lesson! I have to get
this off my chest. What a low dog, MYSTIC MIRAGE! He can't set himself up in a real
match. I was sorry to see GREATER VRULL lose.
Warriors of ARVAT unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior has
met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...--
Olaf Modeen

Spurius -- That was a nice try. You're pretty impressive with that Hatchet. I am
sure we will match up again. There certainly seems like there is a lack of opponents
ever since Destitute Noble left. -- Mountain General
Dread -- Well that wasn't any fun. Thank gods you're gone. -- Mystic Mirage
Artemidorus -- What is up with you guys??? If I can ever learn some attack I'd pound
you but good. -- Easter Guardian
M. Chardinee -- I'd much rather fight the Dwarf. He teaches much better than you do.
-- War Eagle
Pitt -- I jumped you running 6-4. That isn't a good sign for a lunger. Just a tip,
it's time for you to fight at night. -- The Scouser (talent evaluator extraordinaire)
Dread -- Good riddance! -- The Trainer
Larry -- Whew! Thank GODS you're gone!!!! Don't let the door hit you on the way
out. -- The Trainer
Lara -- <SNARL!!!! SNAP!!!!! DROOL!!!!!> Mmmmmmmm!!!!!! Fresh MEAT!!!!!! <SNARL!!!!
SNAP!!!!!! DROOL!!!!!> -- Cannibalistic Cow
Gemini -- Nice SS crits. Very well done. Hopefully, one day I'll be good. -- The
Invisible Pig
Convicted Thief -- That was fun for me. Thanks! -- Cow Liche
Say goodbye to Frankengoat. No skill learns and he is was hosed in attack....
13-4-19-11-21-9-7 Basher. No great loss. -- Mad Max
Anguish -- Congrats on taking the title. CC will be coming for it shortly. -- Mad
Max
Caesar -- I'm starting a Coolie union. Feel free to see me to negotiate our rates.
These slave wages will no longer cut it. -- Mad Max
P.S. Don't try to pull any Hoffa stuff with me either. I've got five bodyguards
with me at all times.
Rumor of the week: Unless you are short and bald, replacement warriors will only be
eunuch, clumsy, fat, imbeciles. Tall and average height managers are hopelessly
screwed.
Rumor of the week: According to the local temples, one of the Younger Gods fell to
earth in the form of a star this week. Word has it that this godling has been hidden
away by a local and is in the vicinity of Arvat. Anyone with word of this event is
encouraged to contact the local Temple of Ahringol.
Marduc -- Whoops. I guess I don't know my own strength. My condolences to your
teammates. -- Havok
Artie V -- Looks like I'm finally getting the hang of this. Thanks for the sparring
session. -- Dee T. Empter
Roger the Brave -- Wow. I totally had that fight in hand and managed to lose it. I
suppose when you are already 2-5, one more loss doesn't matter. I will claim
revenge. -- Awe
9 August 2008
All -- We are currently looking for capable manager that will give the Desolate
Empire Alliance a full roster for the Turf War. We currently have four (4) roster
slots that are open to capable managers without questionable morals. If interested
for the Turf War, contact: Lamar Treas-Wilson, Dok Sik, Dok Sik Killas DM 47

1. Announce the alliance and the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork
(DM 47) newsletter.
2. Announcements made on the D2 Forums will not be accepted.
Captains are responsible for:
1. Verifying those who wish to participate under the banner of their

No EXCEPTIONS.
b. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare themselves in
the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter as stated above AND be verified
by the alliance Captain they will represent.
c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or
aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate
disqualification from the Turf War (so be sure to take any
multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance).
d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly
declare or fail to send a Gift Certificate by Turn 1. In other
words, if your Gift Certificate is not received until Turn 3 of
the Turf War, and you have fought on Turns 1 and 2, your scoring
will not begin until Turn 3. All conditions must be met before

Certificate received.

Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion x2 x2 x2 x2

Duelmaster +2
Champions:
1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory.
2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but
not the Dark Arena, may be replaced.
4. Champions must be in the Adepts bracket or lower on the turn they are
declared, and may NOT have gone above Adepts level at any time; this
includes teams transferred into North Fork for the Turf War.
Bloodfeuds:
1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns.
2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often.
Tournament Considerations:
1. Tournament participation is ALLOWED and encouraged.
