DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Nobody but the Virginal Concubine to contest the title with me? That's a shame,
because I hated to beat her up, but it had to be done. After all, I didn't want to
take the title on a loss.
Rendor Quil
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
FRATSFA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, SITTEES, since DARK
RAIDERS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. SILVER KNIGHTS
turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 4th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better
than this, and you get put on hit lists. I can just hear all the boasts coming in
THE CHURCH's next personal ads. Their first turn they went 3-2-0. Of course, we're
all terribly impressed to see THE DEACON win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly.
Tsk, tsk, RUTHLESS JAYWALKER beat GANGRENE and GANGRENE lost 9 points. You're
breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as PANDEMIC takes the
Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very
good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't
you, FRATSFA?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. DARK
RAIDERS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.
Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like SILVER KNIGHTS avoided
them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
SALINA REES was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one,
but SER HAWKWING has challenged up by 27 in an attempt against SALINA REES. My sides
still hurt from laughing about SALINA REES losing and giving SER HAWKWING 25 points
of recognition. Ha ha ha ha!!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for FRATSFA's
morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of FRATSFA. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of
this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
All -- My name is Reverend Bob and I represent The Church! I hereby declare our
intent to enter and win the contest sponsored by the Desolate Empire! -- Reverend
Bob, mgr. The Church
All -- The Elder will be the scout for The Church! -- Rev. Bob
All -- The Deacon will be the champion for The Church! -- Rev. Bob
All -- Good luck to you all in the contest and may God bless you! -- Reverend Bob
All -- I will be amending the requirement that teams already active in Fratsfa need
have at least three warriors in the initiates by the contest's third turn. Warriors'
experience will NOT be a factor. I see now that managers already active may exclude
themselves due to not wanting to give up or put aside current warriors that may be
close to graduation. The rules and list of prizes for "Fratsfa's Quest for the Best"
contest was printed in all arenas. I hope to draw many managers to this beautiful
city. The reason that there is a limit on TP's, is that I didn't want this to become
a scum fest as many other contests have. I look forward to the opening round on T-
207. -- Dark Knight Toker "Desolate Empire"
Sorrow -- That was a most interesting fight. Thought I had you there. Alas, it
looks as if I was the one filled with Sorrow (not to mention payne! lol) in the end.
-- Ser Ilyn Payne of the Silver Knights (#361)
Ollie Quonsham -- I have given my warrior Ser Artur Dayne the rough side of my tongue
for his attempt at severing your life cord. He has given his word to try and calm
himself and suppress his bloodlust. -- Dark Knight Toker of the Desolate Empire
Oak Lee -- Thank ye, ya big tree, what ye say, an oak tree. O.K.! No, an Oak Lee.
Well either way I'm a bringin' an axe next time! -- Ser Sturm, Silver Knights (361)
Pandemic -- If everyone starts getting sick, I'm going to blame YOU. -- Lena Koril
Am I supposed to feel honored that the top standby came out for me? -- Tealin Sali
Gangrene -- You should be ashamed to come out with a gang like that. -- Salina Rees
Ser Artur Dayne -- Ah, the "Pushy Little, er Fellow Syndrome" at work, I see. --
Ollie Quonsham
Toker -- Response? The age of miracles has not yet arrived, and it takes a miracle
or something close to get people to talk. Good luck. -- Leeta, the Middle Way
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
21 May 2005
Amendment for "Fratsfas Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
