Notes from the arena champ.
Nobody but the Veteran Mercenary cared enough to try for the title? He'd never
have gotten it, of course, because that sort of thing Isn't Done. But at least he
TRIED.

SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of RODEKI. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. COLOR ME SUAVE? Who?
DELVERS is the top team these days, buddies! Practice pays for JOHN WAYNE HAMMER,
who pummelled LEAFCUTTER BEAL, to pocket 22 points. LEAFCUTTER BEAL certainly had a
baffled expression on his face, after losing to JOHN WAYNE HAMMER and losing 17
points in the process! KHALHUMS DWARF found out that RODEKI isn't a democracy.
You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's been
walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
And how sociable are RODEKI's warriors? Come, let us see. To quell some nasty
rumors, the guys in KLK RANGE HAMMERZ are not carrying any incurable diseases. No
need to avoid 'em. The warriors of KLK RANGE HAMMERZ found their efforts at combat
frustrated as COLOR ME SUAVE apparently had more important things to do than fight.
Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever
it is, ROCKSOCK is the most challenged warrior. Mismatched by 13 points, BEAR beat
THE TOMATO MAN. Is this really worth noting? I thought THE TOMATO MAN showed great
skill and promise when he was subdued by BEAR. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in RODEKI is the highlight of my life. As the seasons
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave
this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid RODEKI
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Leafcutter -- I'm all about streaking. When we started our careers, I took Fredibar
behind the shed a half dozen times. Then he decided to whoop it up on me for the
next sextet. Lately, I've been enjoying our trysts (and those with Rocksock) to the
tune of 5-1. It'll be your turn soon enough, so long as you keep improving. I
don't. -- Jockstrap Jones
Beasties -- I'd apologize for the continued challenges, but it's not like I have a
lot of options. Feel free to use 322 in your avoid spots and we'll go the random
route. -- Suave
P.S. Who are you?
Harby -- You want to graduate your batch already? My crew will be there shortly. --
Suave
Rhino -- Rock, paper, responsiveness tactic. -- Scaddie
Jockstrap Jones -- My teammates tell me that it's a good thing I'm a golem and can't
smell things. Little do they know! My aerochemical analysis equipment is superb, in
order that I might detect problems with gas in tunnels before they become acute.
You, however, have already become acute. -- Rocksock
P.S. Marsh gas, you know.
Ah, yes, that beacon of Andorian sensibilities, the Assassin! It is to laugh. --
Handsome Does
I don't think the Assassin is Andorian. He's an orc, and they don't seem to go for
non-humans much, except shape-changers. -- Fredibar
P.S. Of course, he might have TRAINED there.
Quick Dead Hammer -- Does this mean that, if presented with the opportunity, you will
die quickly? No delay? Not that I have any particular intentions that way. Just
checking. -- Leafcutter Beal

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.
