DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
And here I am at the top of the arena, fighting this turn for immortality and a
winning record. Assur says to not hold my breath, as he thinks I am only favored
against two warriors that fought last turn and are ranked as challenger champions.
We'll see. Even if I lose the throne, I only need to survive two more turns to get
that immortality prize. In the meantime, dress warmly. It may look nice outside,
but I will find any skin you give access to.
Ice Wind
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of FREEDOM FRIES LAND. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny
Vir to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Those
betting on MSNBC lost their shirt, as MSNBC lost their fighting abilities: 1-4-0.
Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as
WEIRD ALCHEMY can attest... Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting,
but SERPENTS HOLD 200 will tell you 67-77-2 is nothing to laugh at... Practice pays
for FRITO, who pummelled ORESTES, to pocket 21 points. A certain someone should cut
down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 14 points to EGG NOGGIN.
(Discrete enough, YRSA?) The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as APPLE
CIDER HIDER faced FREEDOM FRIES LAND's Duelmaster. Now I can't insult APPLE CIDER
HIDER, as he has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me
if I lay it on too thick) So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last
week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the
lion, so did the "warriors" in FREEDOM FRIES LAND avoid D.A. REJECTS. The warriors
of D.A. REJECTS found their efforts at combat frustrated as MYSTIC ORC FEAST
apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses,
CRAPULODON could open up a fast food joint! CRAPULODON found himself challenged by a
warrior 21 below: NIGHTS CALL. NIGHTS CALL of WHITE SHADOW kept his wits as he was
overcame by CRAPULODON.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Never one to
advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see CLAN KITFOX retaliate against
MSNBC in bloodfeud! How true is NUKE TEST's mettle? Just one week remains for the
avenging of M. CLOUD's death. Questions are being raised about the disposing of
severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in FREEDOM FRIES LAND would I
avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure of
writing Spyreports for FREEDOM FRIES LAND? On that giddy note I take my leave--
Novgorodny Vir

to challenge below mine. You will get there soon. -- White Shadow

JASPER GULCH: DM 85
Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and
stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and
infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like
this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
"So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they
closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?"
"Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary.
There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're
too full of team records."
"Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested.
Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the
arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave.
"We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested.
"We can't burn RECORDS."
"I could," Rinvar said.
"But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its
own sake, Jame."
Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew."
"When are they shutting down Blackstone?"
"To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers
want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel
from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this
week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can
recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of
enquiry around the room.
"Jasper Gulch," a steward said.
"Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably
'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be
transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT."
Voth nodded. "We can work with this."
"Beats not working."
SEAM (DM 20) REOPENS AS A NEW NO-TOURNEY ARENA!
Seam (DM 20) will be re-opening soon as a no-tourney DM arena! If you enjoy arena
play without tournament interference, this arena is for you! Only rookie teams may
enter this arena, and all managers must sign the "no-tourney" pledge. Turn 0 is due
on May 4 (overviews only) and Turn 1 is due on May 18.
To avoid confusion, all old inactive teams which were in Seam have travelled to
Mazgourrah (DM 77).
Seam is the newest arena to join the no-tourney group of arenas and will process on
opposite weeks with Shadowspire (DM 81), the original no-tourney arena. Other no-
tourney arenas include Telorinthe (DM 83), a slow arena, and Storm Rock (DM 107), for
ADM warriors.
Join in the fun! Send in your new rollup along with the pledge soon so you can get in
on the ground floor of this new arena!
********************************************************************************
NO-TOURNEY ARENA PLEDGE
* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor
will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena. If circumstances
preclude my running less than a full team, I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives
a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
