DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Wow, how pathetic was that? Guess that makes me queen of the pigs as well as
"DIIM." Keep my throne warm for me until I get back.
Askelia
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in NIYTYOLE ISLAND this turn, and
let's start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the
difference, as WHEN DOGMA FAILS is pushed out of top team by CASINO HAMMERZ, who came
from 2nd with a 3-2-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for LA JOYEUX COCHON, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5
into 9th. FOOD FIGHT stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 6 space move up
the rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
LIONESS fought SNARF! and gained 22 points and contributed to DARK TOADS II's 2-0-0.
SNARF! has lost to LIONESS, falling 17 points, while helping make WHEN DOGMA FAILS a
1-3-0 turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, KID REDO has lost
the title of Duelmaster. And all eyes were on LUCKY LADY HAMMER this turn as she
ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. NIYTYOLE ISLAND has a new victor! Can someone
confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at
The Don't Drop Inn until they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. WHEN DOGMA FAILS has cause to stand
tall, as they were NIYTYOLE ISLAND's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this
is a team to beat. And avoiding WHEN DOGMA FAILS more than any other team we find
FOOD FIGHT. NIYTYOLE ISLAND, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
Well, sports fans, take notice that MAVERICK HAMMER from CASINO HAMMERZ was NIYTYOLE
ISLAND's most challenged warrior this turn. PASTA LA VISTA from FOOD FIGHT took a
risk this turn by bravely challenging up 28 points in a challenge against OLD
MILLWATER. And now nobody knows where OLD MILLWATER is right now, after giving PASTA
LA VISTA 19 points worth of recognition. As quiet chuckles rise behind me. In a
brave attempt, PUERCO PIBIL from FOOD FIGHT challenged up 20 points to fight COOL
HAND HAMMER from the CASINO HAMMERZ stable. PUERCO PIBIL perhaps got its just
desserts, seeing as it subdued COOL HAND HAMMER and ended up with 26 recognition
points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in NIYTYOLE ISLAND and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe

Prophet -- Congratulations for Winning the Slasher category of the Hammer Run with
your recent graduate, Light Da' Pyre! Receiving newsletters overseas has been
sporadic and not all of my newsletters have arrived. However, I do have the T-469
newsletter confirming your Victory in the Hammer Run Slasher category! Am sending a
bank draft to RSI for my acct and have requested that $25 of the amount be used to
purchase 5 New Team Rollup Certificates to be Forwarded to Prophet, manager of When
Dogma Fails (566) in DM 33. The way mail runs from Qatar to the States and then RSI
forwarding the New Rollup Gift Certificates, please allow about 4 to 6 weeks for
their arrival to your mailing address from the time you read this P-ad online or read
it in your DM 33 T-471 newsletter! Hopefully you can receive your New Team Rollups
in time for the Summer Facer! That is the Best I can do since I am currently living
overseas! Congratulations Again! -- Hammer
P.S. Send a stable over to DM 59 for the upcoming Death Fest and give Kellog a run
for his money over in Illis Arena!
6 May 2004
DEATH FEST
The ferocious ghosts of former glories whispered across the wind swept sands of
DM 59; agonizing incessantly due to the diminutive demise of the Delarq arena known
as Illis.
Tattered banners and forgotten memories wailed in the wind for a dynamic death
march to dawn once more upon the blood stained sands of the Delarq slow arena.
The distant call crying for a declaration of restoration amidst the ruin of the
all but forgotten Delarq arena carried to the far corners of Alastari; drawing the
Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging to cross blades and
wage warfare among an assemblage of new stables managed by the Known and Unknown;
willing to spill fresh blood, while carving their destiny during 15 Rounds of contest
driven combat to be known as the "Illis Incredibly Diabolical Delarq Death Fest".
A lone cloaked figure huddled by lamplight in a remote outpost near the
crossroads of ElseWhere and ElseWhen; feverishly formulating the foundational
framework for the dawning of the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59, complete with
Gladiatorial Commission sanctioned prizes to promote the growing thirst for a Delarq
Slow Arena Death Festival.
Delarq Death Fest Opening Round debuts the first turn immediately following the
Summer 2004 F2F Tourney and continues through the completion of 15 consecutive
rounds.
Death Fest points are Won or Lost ONLY in the DM 59 Delarq Slow Arena [Tourneys
DO NOT Add or Subtract from the Death Fest Point Scoring System]:
Death Fest Scoring Format:
Win =3D +2 pts
Loss =3D -1 pt
Kill =3D +5 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Death =3D -3 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Dark Arena Kill =3D +10 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Dark Arena Death =3D -5 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Revenged Blood Feud =3D +5 pts [successful Revenged Blood Feud provides Death Fest
contestants the opportunity to cancel out 3 pts for Death and 1 pt for Loss; while
gaining +1 pt overall for the Revenged Blood Feud in addition to the +2 pts for Win]
DEATH FEST PRIZES will be awarded to the Top Ten Death Fest Stables on the basis
of Total Points*** accumulated during the 15 rounds of competition as follows:
1. Favorite Weapon Knowledge for 1 (one) warrior ranked Initiate or higher on the
Final Round to be revealed by RSI to each of the Top Ten Death Fest Stables
2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters and NPCs [yet to be determined according to how
many DA Monsters and NPCs are available in DM 59 for Renaming]
3. The Top Five Death Fest Stables will receive New Team Rollup Certificates as
follows: 1st (10), 2nd (8), 3rd (6), 4th (4) and 5th (2)
4. Renaming Illis Arena for 6 months plus Receiving 6 months Free Play courtesy of
RSI will be awarded to the manager of the 1st Place Death Fest Stable
5. Discussions are underway regarding a possible Special Award granted to the Illis
Iron Stable qualifiers who compete in 67 of a possible 75 fights during the course of
the 15 consecutive rounds of the Death Fest [Key Factor is How Many (?) stables will
be competing in the Death Fest without drawing away participation by current managers
in the remaining slow arenas!] Therefore, it is important for all managers entering
stables in DM 59 for the upcoming Death Fest to contact RSI as soon as possible
regarding their participation in this contest so that a Final Ruling on the proposed
Illis Iron Stable Award can be issued by RSI.
***TieBreaker is determined on the Final Round by the DM 59 Newsletter Recognition
Rankings. The stable with the Highest Ranked Active Gladiator is granted the
decision. [Example: Warrior A and Warrior B are both listed in the Recognition
Rankings with 87 pts; however, because Warrior A is listed in the Recognition
Rankings ahead of Warrior B, then Warrior A is granted the TieBreaker Decision for
His/Her stable!]
Opening Round Team Spotlight Bonus [minimum 15 paragraphs!] Each Delarq Death
Fest competitor who writes a Team Spotlight featuring their Stable (Name) and
Managerial Alias [Gladiatorial Names Optional] in regards to competing in the Delarq
Death Fest will receive 25 pts added to His/Her opening round score.
Illis Iron Stable Bonus [in addition to the proposed award awaiting RSI
approval!] Any manager whose stable competes in at least 67 of the possible 75
fights during the 15 rounds of Death Fest receives 25 points added to His/Her final
overall score [this allows each stable the cushion of missing one round of
competition; plus up to 3 additional fights due to waiting for replacement rollups
from Deaths suffered either in Tourneys or during the Death Fest contest in DM 59
over the course of 15 rounds of competition!]

TEN TURNS OF HELL:
The KLK Capture The Flag Competition
In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I
am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition. The competition will be
held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already).
:) We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep.
Rules:
-- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your
team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender).
-- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn
463 is the turn scoring will begin.
-- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many
flags as he can win.
-- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by
warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their
original team's lowest ranked warrior.
-- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that
turn.
-- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those
flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating
warrior.
-- Scoring as follows for each turn:
2 pts -- possession of your own team flag
1 pt -- possession any other flag
1 pt -- for each win
1 pt -- for each kill
1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter
-- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its
own entry.
-- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags.
-- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from
kills. (It's the Delarq way.)
-- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
(based on highest point totals)
Prizes: (what you've been waiting on)
1st -- 3 know favorites potions*
DA warrior named after winning manager
2nd -- 2 know favorites potions*
3rd -- 1 know favorites potion*
* These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used
on warriors with at least 4 FE.
How's that for paying out? (grin) Even if you think that it's all about the TC,
these prizes should be enough to draw you in. (You know who you are.)
I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans. Legion, Froths, and all the
others...this is your personal invite. Can you win? Can you survive 10 turns of
Hell in Jhans?
Note: Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible. Thanks
guys!
