DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The contest of the dead is over. Those which were slain have risen. Yet
another Resurrection has taken place, a Resurrection so terrible it has before been
unspeakable. The Resurrection of DOOMcorps is upon us. I pity those who would stand
in our way.
Polarius
DOOMcorps Warlord
Manager of Barrister
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, MURSKA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now let's all watch BUSY, BUSYTOWN's
heads swell from their 4-1-2 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big
deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see RAZZLE DAZZLE win a fight and
gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, RAZZLE DAZZLE beat MORPETH and MORPETH lost 17
points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, MURSKA may
be getting bland, as BARRISTER stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good
mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you,
MURSKA?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? THE BEARS was the most avoided
team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like
BLITZKRIEG avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you
ask me. Hmph. OISAN was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now
was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I notice O'MALLEY challenging down 20
points to fight OISAN, BLITZKRIEG doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult
to honor. And golly gee, O'MALLEY defeated OISAN. Aren't we all surprised and
impressed?
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. We're all going to die in the end, so why
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in MURSKA to get a drink than The Dragon's
Hangover! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine
city of MURSKA. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are getting restless, I
must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Busy, Busytown -- Welcome to the arena. Who is your manager? -- Polarius, mgr of
Blitzkrieg
Darling Nikki -- I don't know who calls you "darling"! Or why, because I surely
would NOT. I hate a pushy woman. -- Oisan

Razzle Dazzle -- Blinding, in fact. I'd admire your footwork, or whatever, except
that I didn't see any of it. -- Cu-Cadal
Dingo Dog -- Ouch! I guess I should have listened when my momma told me not to pet
strange dogs. Because you're the strangest I've seen, and the meanest, too! -- Kai
Father Cat -- I didn't MEAN to laugh, but heck, you came out and they said you were a
Shew, and I just couldn't help it! -- Dallow, paying for his lack of control
22 October 2004
Youngblood's Three and Out Contest
I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).
1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
eliminated.
5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
the contest.
6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
contest.
7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
active in the contest.
8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
contest, no questions asked.
9. Challenges are legal, up or down.
10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
<<<PRIZES>>>
As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
