Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is HELTER SKELTER, who swept up 13 places in the ranks. Take a look at SPACE WOLVES' act, as they have a 3-2-0 week and gain 17 places in the team ranking. Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is STDS, who swept up 14 places in the ranks. Suffering under a 0-5-0 record and dropping from 11th to 25th place were the SUICIDAL DREAMS. Keep trying! It looks like the guys(?) at PORN IN A BARN had a good week as they went 4-1-1 to put them in 2nd place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for MONKEY SHINE, who flew up 27 points in the rankings after mashing BADDA BAMM like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast. And falling like a basher in the top ten was BADDA BAMM, who dropped 24 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with MONKEY SHINE. Try as hard as the WOLFCATS stable might, they were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) TIMBER LION before this week's fights. It's a proud day for the BLITZKRIEG stable, as their warrior, KERRY BEAR, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the JHANS arena. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad HELTER SKELTER? Big bad HELTER SKELTER. Big bad HELTER SKELTER. JHANS' afraid of the big bad HELTER SKELTER. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause THE DREAMING beats feet every time HELTER SKELTER smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this KILL'EM KREPP you ask, with 99 points and a 18-9-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Can any one out there say 'weasel'? Oh well, just saying THE LOVE BELOW will do. He challenged 17 points down to trash OBLIVIOUS. Definition of petty: THE LOVE BELOW overcame OBLIVIOUS, a mismatch of 17 points. Was it guts or an overtaxed mental capacity that had REAPER challenge up 44 points in the rankings to take on KERRY BEAR? A Carrion Bird Sellout: REAPER 12-10-0 fights KERRY BEAR 22-13-1. (BYOB) Well, it looks like SASQUATCH COWBOY wasn't happy with last turn's rank, so it went for broke by challenging up 31 points. No guts, no glory. Some advice to SASQUATCH COWBOY. Please don't challenge up 31 points to fight a 8-9-0 fighter like, say DONNA THE HUNTRESS. (Okay, so it may be a little late). THE BEAST of REVELATION had better have a good reason for challenging down 15 points in a challenge which he won. I thought THE BEAST showed great skill and promise when he overcame T'HAEL. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! This week 10-19-0 BADDA BANG was sent to the Dark Arena. I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of this. HOMOCIDAL defied all odds and slew SLIPPERS MCGHEE in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as SLIPPERS MCGHEE's meat is notoriously tough. Big deal, so HEAVY MENTAL got mashed in the Dark Arena. With its face it was more at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka waka). FREEMASON defied all odds and slew MOUNTAIN TROLL in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as MOUNTAIN TROLL's meat is notoriously tough. GOAT CHEESE defied all odds and slew BLACK ORC in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as BLACK ORC's meat is notoriously tough. Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle. Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in JHANS have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).

Since one or the other was mentioned in all of the spots from last turn, those have not been run. I figured you'd rather have them not appear than have them chopped and changed by me.... And yes, Az, I know it might be more fair to let you get your complete licks back in, but the cycle has to stop somewhere. If you get yours in, then others will want their and so on and so forth until everyone really hates everyone else (if that hasn't already happened!). -- Ed. Hail Mary -- Well fought! -- Union Jack BlackJack -- How could you be so foolish? Killing the Master's most favorite pet! Vengeance will be swift and hard! -- Revelation Timberlion -- The CC's are really looking nasty. I'll block for you as much as I can! -- Kerry Bear Timber Lion -- I hate you. No. That doesn't do how I feel justice. I despise you. You and your parry. You and your con. You and your breaking of my maul. I hate you. Hate you. Hate you. -- Badda Bamm P.S. Burn in hell....(hate you) Benandanti -- Yikes!! Where'd you go? Hard do see you with all the 'demonic fury' in my face. Geesh!! What I ever do to you? -- Pixie All -- I have been asked this a few times so let me publicly state that Baphomet is a member of The Company of Brothers which is part of the ILLUMINATI Confederation of Alliances of which the kLk is also a member. While not 'kLk brethren' he is considered part of the extended family and one of the boys. But I guess you should've been able to tell who he was with already, huh? *grin* -- TDH Baphomet -- Always good to have you around--just don't go too crazy. It'll be blamed on me I'm sure if/when it does. So try to not go too nuts on 'em. A rivalry is one thing. What this was turning into was another. So let's just beat em down and enjoy it. -- TDH DOOM -- Btw, congrats on the 9-8 turn. (for the record I have only been counting DOOM vs. kLk in this will continue to do so since this was where the rivalry began). That makes it 39-31 now, the kLk's lead. Just for those of you keepin up. -- TDH !ll Kid Kizzle -- This is where you were probably expecting a long rant with some name calling or what not but I'm afraid this may disappoint you. Most if not all of what you said about me has been true. I have done some things I am not very happy about and not very proud of. But I am honestly trying to improve upon it. I have gone to everyone involved in the past and apologized to them, including yourself which I had to make more then one attempt to do. If there's anyone else in the arena or the game or that we just know that I've made mad or hurt in any way I publicly apologize. But I am sick of the arguing. You can hate me. I've given you enough reason to. I'll hold no ill will against you if you do. I will no longer keep this argument moving on. It is a waste of time and waste of energies. Please feel free to ignore me as I intend to ignore you just for the peace of everyone else around. -- TDH/BOOKIE/MIKE Turtle -- Just curious but which one are you? Donatello, Leonardo, Raphael, or Michaelangelo? -- Polarius Lil Kid K -- For someone who spouts about ignorance so much you sure are full of it aren't you? Anyway if you want to carry on about my so called lousy performances you can come to Dragonhead and spout out your ignorance all you want. That team will probably have about a 20 to 30 percent win ratio. Also, you like to call Bookie paranoid and delusional but if you can call anything Baphomet said to you "PERSONAL" then you need therapy. Don't bother responding to me because I will not be reading anything that I see written by you anymore. You're not a bad manger that's as far as I'll go. -- Azrael Baphomet -- Ignore Lil Kid, everyone else does. -- Azrael All and Editor -- Since this storytelling business started with a story about me, I felt entitled to say a few words. I didn't whine about my character being, hmm, what was the term, oh yes, character assassinated. I just responded in kind. Since there were two stories about me I wrote two. Polarius knew about the second story and I feel my rebuttal to his story should be printed. After that I will only write about those whom I ask for permission to use their characters. Which is only polite. My character may be used by anyone who doesn't put theirs on the "crybabies list" also known as the don't write about me list. Here is a short profile on my character for those who want it. But beware, if you write about me I will write about YOU in kind. -- Azrael Azrael is an aristocrat who truly feels he is above most everyone else. He is an accomplished swordmaster and has a wild talent. He has complete control over fire and can manifest it at will. He recently went through an ordeal that has changed his abilities somewhat (this is my secret for now). He is very religious and a devout follower of his ancestor's religion. Azrael's only true weakness is his arrogance. Manipulated in the right way this can lead Az into situations he isn't really prepared to handle. 12 January 2005 On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and let's find out! Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account. 2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster. Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way! Azrael 15 January 2005 BR 4 is upon us! First turn is due on 1/29/05. Many thanks to RSI for helping supply a great prize for the winner and those who meet the 90% endurance criteria. Winning prize: 6 months free play, a +1 bonus potion, a limited damage potion, a favorites knowledge potion, a minor stat-switch prize, and renaming a Dark Arena creature. Endurance prizes: a +1 bonus potion to all teams that fight 90% of the possible fights during the contest. For details, visit Talcama's newletter or http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir/br4 To join, simply bring a team to DM 18, announce your entry in the personals, and follow the very simple rule of not avoiding! 31 January 2005 My fellow duelists I come before you bearing a sad and unfortunate message. Several months ago our group, the Vendetta Cartel, had lost contact with one of our friends. Since he was in contact or correspondence on an almost daily basis there was concern amongst us. With some research two of our members discovered why contact was lost with him. On November 10, 2004, Richard Hammes was taken from us in a senseless act of violence during a robbery attempt at a friend's store where he sometimes worked. He was watching the store so his friend could go home to tend to his son who had taken ill. You may have known Rich as Abarsis, The Slaughter Priest ; richh10 on the RT; or gameogre on the Duel2 messageboard. You may not have known that he spent 13 years serving the United States in the Navy. Rich dearly loved this game and all it encompassed. He may not have been the best or most experienced manager but he loved to interact with others and was quick to offer advice whenever anyone asked for help. He was always kind and gracious and tried to strengthen our game, often by helping new players feel welcome or give them a chance to compete. With his prolific posting I know that I am simply speaking the obvious about what he did for our game. Many, like me, were drawn to him, perhaps for his kind nature or his sense of humor, and it appears he lived his life as he played this game. Always willing to help or do right by others. I realize that he had many friends outside the VC so I will include the link to the news story in case any of his other friends would like to know more of what happened. We're all dealt a hand in life but it's not the strength of the hand you're dealt but rather how you play it that really matters. Rich played his hand to the very best of his human ability and for this I admire him greatly. I know we all choose to like or dislike managers but I believe deep down we are all good and decent, in this game, and will drop party (alliance) lines and will show the proper respect. http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20041112/news_7m12clerk.html Rich was taken from us all to soon and with so much left to offer the community around him. He spoke of a desire to run a contest on the Duel2 site which I hope to uphold in his name. Some of the people I have spoken with think it would be a nice gesture to do one final good act in Rich's name, though it could never match what he would've done within his community, for his community of San Diego. I hope that with this contest we might raise a little money to donate to an appropriate charity within San Diego in his name. In conclusion I send a message to Rich: "Rich, though I'm sure you gathered this I never really told you how much I admired you and what a friend I considered you. I thank you for being my voice of reason and always reminding me of why we both loved this game so much! You have taught me one final valuable lesson in learning more of you. There are things far more valuable in life than material possessions such as character and kindness. That nothing going on in your life means that you cannot find a way to be kind and giving to others. We always spoke of meeting someday and until we finally do know that you will live on in with me and the rest of your brothers and sisters in the Cartel: Master Darque, Kat, Bum, Sensei Jan, Maximillian, Hammer, Fizban, Firehawk, Phat Phat. You increased all of our enjoyment of this game, you were a true ambassador of Duelmasters, and the game will not be quite the same without you. A farewell battle cry from the ZalCon: 'Confusion to our enemies'. May your soul rest in peace, my friend." Should anyone wish to correspond about Rich feel free to contact myself, or anyone else within the Vendetta Cartel. Street Legal Jeff Bura The Death Squad(63) in Tobir or triumph1971@hotmail.com 31 January 2005 Be it known throughout Alastari that Hammer is no longer a member of the Vendetta Cartel alliance. A difference of opinion with another highly respected member of the VC due to my recent vocal actions in DM 47 can only be resolved by my resignation from the VC as of January 29, 2005. I leave of my own accord, in good standing with all members and with no hard feelings towards anyone in the Vendetta Cartel. There was a time when I felt that my membership in the VC made the alliance stronger. I know that my resignation today makes the Vendetta Cartel a stronger alliance with my absence. -- Hammer 1 February 2005 St. Valentine's Massacre update My apologies, the Kill Contest starting on turn 476 in Jhans will run for 10 (ten) turns ending on turn number 486.
