DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well here I am once again, if you could only read the fight report. I must have
pulled that hacksaw chop from my shorts or something, because that even surprised me.
Did it surprise you, Lori? So again thanks for keeping the cushion warm, so when are
you going to retire to the Isle, Mrs. Collin? So what to do now, guess I will
practice for the upcoming fight. Good luck to everyone. -- Break Point
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.
CYNICAL DELUSIONS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey
everybody, watch out for ANNETTE TEVERLY, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after
mashing JUANITA like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher
in the top ten was JUANITA, who dropped 12 points after a disappointing (to say the
least) bout with ANNETTE TEVERLY. DR STEINBURGER got through to the Duelmaster this
turn. No doubt he was more than anxious to kick BREAK POINT's tail out of the
throne! Our battling duelmaster BREAK POINT has managed to hold the title, fending
off DR STEINBURGER's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, FANDILS. An
apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad TUFT-TASTIC!? Big bad
TUFT-TASTIC!. Big bad TUFT-TASTIC!. ARDIVENT's afraid of the big bad TUFT-TASTIC!.
Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch DEATH's act in the arena.
Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from TUFT-TASTIC!. Well dang howdy,
but if challenges were votes, LORI COLLIN would be president. Although it may be a
contest she doesn't want to win. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, THORN
went after GLAVER, who was higher by 18 points. Well, when the dust settled, THORN
was overcame by GLAVER.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the ARDIVENT giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown

PERSONAL ADS
Glad to see all the personals! The Arena Of The Red Sands is on the rebound! --
Fandil The Wise
Terrence Wycliff -- It took a while, but I feel so much better with the tuft in hand.
(smirk) -- Dr. Steinburger
P.S. Tell Shezra no 5-0 this round!
Rhythm Wizard -- Thanks for the dance. -- Juanita
Thorn -- Wham! You guys have no luck with my team, do you? It was a good try and
good challenge though. Maybe I was lucky, or maybe I know something you don't? Heh,
not likely! -- Jhezra
Debra Conklin -- I will find my preferred weapon eventually! -- Lothar
Jacinthe -- Looking for skills, did I find them? Want to help me look again? --
Tuvold
Steinburger -- Yeah yeah, I know, a tuft. I had to lose eventually, so there's no
point in mocking me. I was not looking forward to matching with you or Break Point.
-- Terrence
Galoot -- What Terrence said! :P~ -- Annette
Jacinthe -- My name was a good German name long before it became associated with one
who had become a womanizer. You will retract that comment! And I will put my hand
where I please, on my sword! -- Lothar
W.O.F. -- Dogs? What dogs? It was just a song. Are you talking about "Dwayne"
again? I never did figure out who that was.... -- Adie
Dday -- I don't want a feud with your team, I am just a humble elementalist trying to
make a living. -- Annette
Proven wrong again! Break Point takes the fight to Lori Collin and wins the throne
back! Congratulations! -- Adie
Becker Collin -- Scalping? Scalping? Who said anything about that. Besides, I'm
not a golem, it's just those poor scribes at the commission having fun again. Do
golems look so human? Wow.... -- Terrence
Becker -- That was a really good match-up. I didn't think that I would last that
long. I couldn't see a damn thing; too much salt in the eye from sweating. Lucky
for me there are a few weak points in your armor. -- Sparrow
Annette Teverly -- Good work out for you huh, that's what I'm talking about. I need
to lift my legs a bit more and swing those arms, or I could slip on a plastic bag
underneath this plate to give me that slimming look that I've always wanted. --
Galoot
Stone Bear -- Sorry about that, not enough skills yet I gather, same problem here. --
Quar-ral
Adie -- Evil? What truly is Evil? My minions come from a deeper, darker plane where
views are different then they are here. We are not out slaughtering kittens or
puppies but some of our actions might be suspect in Alastari. -- DeGotti
WoF -- Sometimes you just have to let them go and hope for a better replacement. No
matter how we design and send our warriors out sometimes they just don't make the
cut. -- DeGotti
Dday -- I don't know if you can say your team is the whipping boys, take a look at my
record lately. -- DeGotti
Sparrow-Blaster -- As if! NOTHING deters sparrows. -- Becker Collin
Lothar Lightsword -- That is, like, totally weird. I mean, "Lothar." Leeta tells me
it's just a form of Luther, but I still don't see it, you know? -- Debra Conklin
Tuvold -- I don't think tufts become you. I mean, the way the stick up on your head.
They look like horns. Of course, that COULD be a clue to your personal nature, but I
choose to think otherwise until you demonstrate.... Well, okay, an upstart like you
challenging me and winning is a demonstration, but I'm ignoring that. -- Jacinthe
Break Point -- Oh, my. Four skills? That is so generous of you! Just what I'd
expect from an old and valued friend. -- Lori Collin
Quietus -- I don't much care for the implications of that, but at least you aren't
NOISY. I hate they people who feel they have to chatter through the whole fight. --
Zellit
Adie -- Well, sort of. One of those off-the-cuff things that are so easy to start
and so hard to continue. But I think that...maybe, or maybe not, family pressures
are easing, or at least they're different, so who knows? I'll try to get it moving
again. -- the Scribe
Dr Steinberger -- Nachos? Ah, yes, great things, nachos. I am inordinately fond of
them, I admit it. -- The Master of Kung-Fu
Ed., and also Mary Catherine -- I dry-clean my beard. -- Kurli Kegbiter, Dwarf of
Khalhums
P.S. Dust? Pfaugh!
Gah! Dry cleaning fluid is much worse than dust! -- Ed.

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.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!
