DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The Convicted Assassin would have been unacceptable in this position, and nobody
ELSE seemed to want it. So....
Faron
P.S. It's a dead town, and no two ways about it. This despite the Commission,
AGAIN, screwing up our team ranking. We've been here and active every time for
YEARS.
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! THE BEARS? Who? CHILDREN OF LLYR is the top team these days, buddies!
CHILDREN OF LLYR had cause to celebrate, after CADAL COONTZ got 31 points by beating
DINGO DOG. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more,
after losing 24 points to CADAL COONTZ. (Discrete enough, DINGO DOG?) DIG DUG found
out that MURSKA isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!
So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?
Someone's got a basic problem...
So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the
lion, so did the "warriors" in MURSKA avoid CHILDREN OF LLYR. Like a pup with its
tail between its legs, THE BEARS scurried away from CHILDREN OF LLYR. Oh, the shame!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in MURSKA is the highlight of my life. My fingers
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable
character. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for MURSKA?
On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Take Cover -- I WOULD, but you wouldn't let go of it. I'm FREEZING here, and you
keep hogging the covers! -- Kai
P.S. I guess that counts as a "good fight," and it's definitely a pleasure to see
you graduate. Congratulations and don't come back.
Kung-Fu Master. (sigh) I hate getting matched with him. I keep MEANING to study
Kung-Fu, but there's just never enough time. -- Cadal Coontz
P.S. I was okay till he broke my arm and I dropped my weapon. I am totally NOT a
man of my fists.
Well, ahem, I, ah, guess that sometimes the Ambitious Guard might have the right
idea. -- Balin
P.S. I mean, he came out of the gate like a house on fire, which is a strange image,
and never gave me a chance to get set. Guess he's been letting someone advise him.
But you'd think, if he was going to fight so well, he could TEACH me something,
dammit. I was ready.
An Embezzling Scribe? Pathetic. -- Bildis
P.S. But I wouldn't mind fighting more such pathetic standbys for most of my career.

The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared?
Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be
crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can
easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women
shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to
whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm

Civil War/The Crusades
The next edition of the Civil War series is to be held in Tobir, arena 14, beginning
November 25th with a round where all participating managers must DA all 5 of their
warriors; in addition all warriors must be prefixed with an A an F or a D in the
following manner: A-Broke Stroker or (A) Broke Stroker. Names simply beginning with
the letter of your federation will NOT count as properly prefixed! Existing teams
are welcome but no warrior who survives the DA who had prior Fight Experience (arena
or tourney) will be allowed to score or challenge into the contest teams. There will
be an equal number of teams set up for each of the three factions (Andorian, Free
Blades, and Delarquan) to create sides as equal as possible. This along with the DA
round should set up pretty equal footing for all managers. After the DA there will
be another round where you can either DA again or fight your new, or surviving,
warriors so they will be set up to challenge an opponent beginning on round 1. So as
a recap DA round, turn 0, then turn 1 it begins with the following rules:
The Civil War to be held in arena 14.
- The contest runs for 10-28 turns (barring ties).
- No tourney participation allowed. Teams with warriors participating in any
tournament are disqualified.
- An even number of teams per faction worked out by the Faction Leaders. No later
substitutions are allowed.
- If a manager brings in a second team and challenges into the contest he is DQ'd and
his side will fight one team short!
- Three factions will be participating: Andorian, Delarquan, Free Blades
- Everyone prefixes their warrior with A-, F-, or D- (No prefix = disqualification of
the warrior)
- Turn DA: (The DA Round) November 25, 2006. Every warrior must DA. (Warriors not
DA'd on Turn 0 are disqualified)
- Turn 0: December 9th, 2006. There will be no scoring this turn it is meant to
allow for challenges on turn 1.
- Turn 1+: Scoring as detailed below
- Each team gets 1 point for defeating a warrior from an opposing team.
- Fights against warriors on your team do not generate points in any situation.
- The team with the most points each turn gets a Battle Point (if there is a tie for
the most points then no Battle Points are accrued)
- The first team to 10 Battle Points wins the war
- Managers of teams on the winning side each receive a +1 bonus potion to be used on
a warrior on their contest team. This must be applied within a month of the
conclusion of the contest and the team must have been active on the last turn of
the contest.
Anyone wishing to participate, and feels they can probably stick around for the
duration (don't want to handicap a side, of course unforeseeable events cannot be
planned for), should either diplo me at THE DEATH SQUAD(63) in Tobir (arena 14) or
place a personal ad in the arena. You may also contact me via the Duel2.com boards!
Let me know which faction you would like to fight for! This contest is intended to
be open to ALL managers wishing to pit themselves against each other to try and
determine which faction has the best managers! -- Street Legal
14 September 2006
I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.
