DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
M. Chardinee is not much of a challenge. Stronghold warriors, you seem to be
our only opponents. Hurry and get someone into the upper ranks!
Bran ap Cadal
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out MURSKA to see
what's new. MVP award for KAN'SHI? STRONGHOLD's proud of him after beating MONA
FERRULE and getting 26 points. Talk about yer big time losers! SPARHAWK got smashed
by MELGWYN, and lost 13 points! Was that a tear I saw in IRON-HIDE's eye, as he took
over Duelmastership? And wasn't BRAN AP CADAL fit to be tied! I hear the top team
insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for
PR photos.
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. FERROUS MEN
was MURSKA's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? I don't know what
STRONGHOLD's been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from
FERROUS MEN, that's fer sher. Like, is BRANGWYN popular, or what? She was
challenged the most in all of MURSKA! She's got a 1-10-0, is that good?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?
Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Kan'Shi -- Okay, you've got another win, I've got another loss, and I got three days
in bed to rest up from it. Now what? -- Brangwyn
Sparhawk -- Gods, not the sand! I hate being buried in the sand. I get trampled by
the warriors in the later matches, and when I finally dig my way out, the maintenance
crew makes me rake everything smooth again. -- Oisan the dejected and sandy
Userous Merchant? What a bum. -- Gwalchmai
Steel Affliction -- (wincing) You certainly afflicted me! -- Melgwyn
Silver Stroke and Stronghold -- It won't take you long to meet "all" the active
warriors in the city. But if you stay, maybe that will encourage someone else to
come and stay, and gradually build us back up again. Worth a try! -- Jorja, Children
of Llyr
P.S. Hi yet again. (I go by Nick in the Delarquan arenas.)

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.

All -- I send out this invitation to all teams and managers. A new Alliance has been
formed. The Living Essences Alliance is being formed to join forces in an effort to
eliminate common foes and to help the joined warriors grow and learn to the best of
their abilities by offering suggestions and advice. It doesn't matter what arena
you're in, or if you're in another alliance already, as of today. This Alliance is
open to one and all! If you are interested in joining, please DIPLO me, or send a
personal ad to DM 93's newsletter. If you wish to join beyond March 2004, send a PA
to DM 82. Come join the fun! -- Dagan LifeGiver, mgr. Shadow Warriors (DM 93)
28 January 2004
This notice is to formally introduce our young alliance, CHAOS INC. We consist of
APEX, FLAGG, MATRIX, ASSAMITE, and now RUDE BUDDHA. If we aren't already there, we
WILL be coming to an arena near you soon! Hope to see you all at the ZALCON II.
