DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
EXTRUSION
Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A
material is pushed or drawn through a die of the desired cross-section. The two main
advantages of this process over other manufacturing processes is its ability to
create very complex cross-sections and work materials that are brittle, because the
material only encounters compressive and shear stresses. It also forms finished
parts with an excellent surface finish.
Extrusion may be continuous (theoretically producing indefinitely long material)
or semi-continuous (producing many pieces). The extrusion process can be done with
the material hot or cold.
Commonly extruded materials include metals, polymers, ceramics, and foodstuffs.
The boss started his career, as a Co-op Engineer, involved with the extrusion of
plastics (styrene and ABS) making breaker strips for lighting, accessories for
refrigerators, and plastic pipe. That was a long, long time ago.
Your Favorite DM, Extrusion
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of SNOWBOUND! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. PETRA QUORD caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested C.H.S. and was awarded 19
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, PETRA QUORD put down
C.H.S., causing it to lose 18 points of recognition in the process. This time
victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail INGLEMORT JULS, Duelmaster of
SNOWBOUND! Would you believe that over half of the old women in SNOWBOUND seem to
feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city SNOWBOUND. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. MIDDLE WAY 6 is feared. This much I can say. Apparently
the stalwarts of LIFE IMPACTS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging
board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. KIRLA LORVIN take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in SNOWBOUND. I can not but mention with disdain the name of MRS. VAUGHN who
this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below in the rankings. I
thought MRS. VAUGHN showed great skill and promise when she subdued KIRLA LORVIN.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in SNOWBOUND. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can
I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
