Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! The boys at DI$C0MBU1@TED left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by BEYOND THE PALE. Good show! BEYOND THE PALE posted a nice gain, to come in 1st. Everybody loves a winner... Practice pays for SUFFOCATION, who pummelled DEVILISH ANGEL, to pocket 18 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, SUFFOCATION was winsome, after beating DEVILISH ANGEL and seeing her lose 16 points. SLICE found out that ZENSU 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... And how sociable are ZENSU's warriors? Come, let us see. To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in EXOTIC TASTES are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of BLOOD ANGELS, so did that sorry team shy from EXOTIC TASTES The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Perhaps BEYOND THE PALE were the only ones left untouched by FRAIL FREDDY demise. Can anyone ever take his place? Or do I exaggerate? Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. Do not think spyreporting in ZENSU is the highlight of my life. More important duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for ZENSU?

I thought a one turn vacation might help me pull it together. If you wasted a challenge on one of my warriors I am REALLY,REALLY sorry. -- Indimar Sanguine -- You probably did laugh, you bloody runt. Write a column. -- Darron Linz Patterspace -- I've got to admit that I was surprised to win that. It was like one of those nightmares where you run and you can't get away? I kept hearing the patter of heavy feet behind me, and it was always YOU. Gods, that was awful. -- Dellis Linz P.S. Um, nothing personal. Nomad -- This is what happens. You don't make a challenge, or, possibly, you do but it doesn't go through, and you get me, and I'm having a bad day. But hey, you survived, so you've got no complaint, right? -- Tilarin Calhoun Tubbs -- Yep, you were dirty, all right. Is it because of the formidable foes in the bathtub that you don't bathe? -- Selvun, clean and curious Stubby -- If you're satisfied, then it's good. -- Tilarin P.S. But people do get hit in the arena, so watch out! You can't count on avoiding it. Pauly -- (blinking) Is Indimar here? Because if not, it doesn't matter whether he knows what you're saying. I haven't a clue, but then, I so seldom do. -- Leeta, Beyond the Pale P.S. Ah, okay. I see that farther down is a personal from him, so he must be here, too. Getting crowded, isn't it? Kinda pleasant. Dellis Linz -- But I like your house better! -- Farnok Bogg, Volunteer Orc 26 August 2006 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 4 September 2006 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.
