TEAM SPOTLIGHT
One last try at my inability to get things right. It's Richard and Walter, I don't
know why I kept throwing William in there. Recent events have me EXTREMELY run down
so I am going to have to abbreviate the scoring so it's cut and pasted from the
yahoo/Duel2 site. Hopefully next turn I'll be feeling my old self, and my apologies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just going to give a quick rundown on the current scoreboard:
STEEL REIGN 7
OF WOLF AND MAN 4
JANIX 4
CARESS OF STEEL 4
MILLENIUM METAL 3
GRYFFINDOR HOUSE2 3
SPARF! 1
BATTLE BEASTS2 1
INDULGENT DRINKS 0
MEMORIAL HAMMERZ -1
HOLD THAT TIGER -1
LEAKY TEEPEE -1
DOG SOLDIERS II -1
SEA DOGS -3
POMPOUS PALADINS -3
EYE OF THE STORM -4
The active teams that did not get points for personals were SPARF!, DOG SOLDIERS II,
and EYE OF THE STORM. None of the inactive teams wrote personals for points;
everybody else scored their personal ad point.
Kills are:
STEEL REIGN 2
OF WOLF AND MAN 1
Many thanks and hope you're enjoying the challenge of this format as much as I am.
It is a real challenge to just throw out a strat and hope you get a good matchup or
your strat is solid enough to overcome; whew, what a workout!

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, Fellow Memorializers,
Well, I was right; I'm off to the Isle after fighting this turn. I think I will head
to Free Blades. I would have gone to taunt the Slytherins in Lirin Kiv, but they
will be coming to Free Blades in a few anyway, so I figure I might as well get there
before they stink up the guildhouse.
After several years of "sandbagging" in the Champions & Challengers, I leave for the
Isle highly over qualified for the honor. I am probably one of the most developed
Total Parries that Rillion has ever graduated. I have ratings in every area except
initiative, which has been my most difficult area to learn in. My "favorites" are
decidedly average for my style and I doubt I'll see much more fighting ahead. Oh
well it was fun while it lasted and I bid you goodbye.
See you blokes around sometime,
Ron Weasley
P.S. Good luck to Fred, let's see if he gets a good match-up and the Useless Tools
remain inactive, so he can take my spot.
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! USELESS TOOLS after a sorry 0-0-0 might want
to consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more'
blues! What's a move up by 5 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for
celebration, according to OF WOLF AND MAN. Good things come to those who fight well,
as LEAKY TEEPEE can attest, moving up by 5. TRADERS OF TROCAR had cause to
celebrate, after WIMPERETTA got 27 points by beating KRAZY KANGAROO. Win some, lose
some. Speaking of which, VIKING RAIDER was winsome, after beating WASTELANDER and
seeing it lose 12 points. Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by
BATTLEBLADE, of EYE OF THE STORM, who despite a 10-7-0 couldn't overcome TROCAR's
Number 1. Word has it one team in TROCAR is taking speech lessons to try to bore
their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in THE
ABYSMALS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a pup
with its tail between its legs, STEEL REIGN scurried away from THE ABYSMALS. Oh, the
shame!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! You've heard
about BATTLEBLADE of EYE OF THE STORM. Death plays no favorites, and neither do I.
What was a 10-7-0 doing on the fields in the first place? KRAZY KANGAROO of SPARF!,
possessing a sorry record of 8-10-0, lost its last battle to WIMPERETTA of TRADERS OF
TROCAR. Young warriors, take note! Such is a failure's lot! More than one waitress
at The Dripping Blade was spilling more drinks than usual last week, as FOUL
NAVIGATOR's early demise became known. What will SEA DOGS do??? A moment of silence
for BATTLEBLADE, who died an untimely death at the hands of RON WEASLEY. In the
spirit of revenge, we call upon EYE OF THE STORM to act! Questions are being raised
about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in TROCAR
would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in TROCAR is the highlight of my life. My fingers
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable
character. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Champions with the intent to kill you. Just thought you would like to know how lucky
you are. -- Rillion
Solid Gone -- See the above ad, same goes for you. -- Rillion
Stik -- Don't worry, I'm in this one for the long haul and I hope the results of
round two are more indicative of my team's chances then the first round was. --
Rillion
All -- The Reign continues, raging unabated. We cannot be stopped. Lay down your
weapons, bare your necks and we'll make it quick and fairly painless! -- Steel Reign
The Borg -- Where was the Collective when you needed it, eh? -- Solid Gone
Crip -- Now that was too easy, really. A PR in this contest? Come on! -- Stik
P.S. You gonna stay active in Sunset? The top end's all yours, now!
Doomrunner -- Yust what I needed, thanks! -- Venturia, still undefeated
Nickelback -- (hurtfully) Is that how you remind me? Huh?!?? Fine, I'll take my
skills and go! -- Wicked Slice
Vet -- Nice contest guy you've there with Tony! That's what my team's missing! --
Stik
Rillion -- Nice bounce back with the 5-0; looks like it's gonna be a contest! -- Stik
One Armed Bandit -- Yeah, 0-5 is always depressing as hell. Hang in there, though,
see Rillion's example! -- Stik
I wonder why it is that Master Crip does not insist that our team write personals to
get points in this competitive event? -- Madam Venusia, Sparf!
Don't you know he's spending too much time worrying about that worthless Royal Flush
team he has over in Scomss Swamp, formerly North Fork. -- Krazy Kangaroo, Sparf!
Then let's do it ourselves! We'll show him we're not mere Crip's Crap! -- Mel,
Sparf!
Battleblade -- You might want to get a little sharper for your next match. -- Ron
Weasley of Gryffindor House2
Krazy Kangaroo -- Hrmph, you could have at least taught me something! -- Fred Weasley
Shark -- Is it true sharks never sleep? It might help next time if you took a nap
before the fight. -- Hermoine

drool and just had bad hand writing? -- Phoenix of Gryffindor House2
Honor Rich Hammer -- Wouldn't it be a bit more of an honor if you actually won? --
Neville of Gryffindor House2
All -- I think I have figured out the key to success, if you run good warriors they
die but if you run puds, they go 5-0! Fortunately I've now got a bunch of puds. --
Rillion, mgr. of Gryffindor House2
Shark -- Betcha' understand my name now! -- Juunk
Madam Venusia -- And I had you too, my bad. Next time I'll not let up so easily! --

couldn't engage my killswitch! -- Killswitch Engage
Bengal -- Everybody's comin' to the party; have a real good time!!! -- System of a
Down
All -- I have entered Slaughter's Challenge. However, I may be absent for as much as
two turns due to some unforeseen circumstances which certainly need my attention.
Should events unfold in my favor, I will probably see some of you at the F2F in Jan
'07. Maybe sooner. As soon as I can get back in...I will. Until such time...I wish
you all well and good luck. -- Baphomet, mgr. Dog Soldiers
P.S. I will remain active in North Fork, so...don't sweat it.
Faceless Man -- Wasichu trick...come to arena with no face. UGH! -- Cochise
Daristam -- You win this bout, but next time...I call in Thunder Gods! -- Heyoka

hit with a frying pan)
Slaughter Hammer -- HAHAHA! You get black eye and I get a.... -- Blue Jacket
Pit Viper -- See? I move like greased serpent! -- Slippery Snake (chuckling over
G.C.'s choice of matchup!)
A.O. Hell -- I hope we meet again someday. I'd like that one back. Oh well. --
Chaos Warrior (EOTS)
Krazy Kangaroo -- Not Krazy enough, I'm afraid. It was an honor to duel with a
Duelmaster, even one from another arena. -- Battleblade (EOTS)
Grunge grl Hammer -- Whoa!! Slow down a bit. Too much jumping around gets me mad
and POW! See y'around. -- Krymsyn (EOTS)
Fred Weasley -- Hey, no fair sticking that in my arm! You're supposed to let me
attack a lot before doing that. We may meet again. Be ready. -- Wastelander (EOTS)
Killswitch Engage -- Well, I am the friendly neighborhood easy win. That Master Init
screwed me up. -- Doomrunner (who has no idea where his 5-2-1 went) (EOTS)
All -- It may be last minute, but Blackstorm would also like to add his EYE OF THE
STORM to the list of esteemed participants in taking on Slaughter's Challenge. Bad
luck to all!!!
Krymsyn -- Not sure why I use that weapon, doesn't seem to work. Are you supposed to
use the wooden part? -- Higher, Of Wolf and Man
Jaws -- Hey! I wasn't ready! -- Are You Ready?, Of Wolf and Man
Rillion -- How many is that out of the original 5 that's graduated, we know the goal
and our manager is curious?! -- Nickleback, default, by age, captain of MILLENIUM
METAL
Black Flagger -- You're a tough match. Hang in there, you'll get over soon! --
Evergrey
Snir -- Damn, you're a tough egg to crack! -- Killswitch Engage
Lee Family Hammer -- Now you have felt the fearsome bite of the Leopard! -- Snow
Leopard
Yellow Snow -- Yuck.... -- Wasp
Are You Ready -- Doesn't seem you were. -- Jaws
Slippery Snake -- So close.... -- Pit Viper
Killswitch Engage -- The switch was definitely NOT engaged, sir. I think it may be
stuck. -- Snir (Janix)
Swashbuckler -- You have been measured--and found wanting. -- Dara (Janix)
Fungi Warrior -- Mushrooms? At first I thought they were warts and felt sympathetic.
...and may I mention the Shiitake is in a VERY inappropriate area. Tsk, tsk! -- Xyco
(Janix)
Mage's Apprentice -- Ha, ha, ha! You lost to a Putz! -- Putz (Janix)
Wrong Way -- Yo ho ho! My first win. Thanks, mate. -- Harpooner
Trocar Tribute Teams -- Hammer has been quite busy the past several weeks. Good
thing we are all on warrior maintenance, but I think he Snail Mailed some strategies
to the Gladiatorial Commission a few weeks ago with his account payment! -- LEE
FAMILY HAMMER
Consortium/Wayne -- The reason for my uncharacteristic silence was supposed to be
printed in last cycle's DM 47 Swamp Scribbling Spotlight by Hammer the WordSmith;
however, according to Sue it should appear in the next TW4 newsletter, my friend! --
Hammer
Sorry no personals from us last time. Real life intervened. -- Traders of Trocar
Foul Navigator -- Sea legs? I have to go to sea? Nobody told me that! -- Daristam
P.S. Besides, I always get sick at sea.
P.P.S. Not that I've ever been to sea, but I get sick on the lake, so I'd guess it
would be... (gulp) even worse on a sea....
Wastelander -- Storms have eyes? How odd. Not that *I* mind. I'm often out on
stormy nights. Just looking around for dinner, you know.... -- Wimperetta
Madam Venusia -- As one Aruaki to another, I feel we should stay in touch. This is a
hostile town for us. -- Viret
P.S. And a lot of the hostility comes from my teammates!
Bengal -- Okay, I'm holding you. Now what? -- Skorindelle
Heyoka -- And a "hey" to you, too. -- Daristam
Wet Dog -- Euwh! I should have buried you in the sand. That would have dried you
off. -- Penelothe

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
