DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hi everyone,
Well, it looks like I'll be fighting a Bad Apple this turn, either Deadfall or
Bitter Vetch. B.V. is the one that scares me. I fought Deadfall turn before last;
he wasn't too alarming. Last turn I fought Applemint. I guess it'll just be Apples
for a while until Contraband works his way up or I get invited to the Isle. I
understand the Isle is having some troubles right now. Boats will still carry new
Lord Protectors across the Lake of Mist to get to the Isle, but no boats ever come
back these days. Makes me kinda nervous.
I guess nobody likes Large Dog, huh? Makes you wonder if he's been doing stuff
on people's lawns. Only there aren't too many lawns in Rocanis, usually just a patch
of dirt between the street and somebody's house. Wait, I saw a lawn down on River
Road! Had a brown and white pony grazing on it, real pretty sight.
Look at that new team, Punch-Out! They started out 4-1. Wow. That's a team to
watch.
The Rocani Legion hasn't been at all busy in the past few months. Not too much
crime in or around Rocanis, I guess. The criminal element left town right about the
time I joined the Legion. Damn. If anybody knows about any burglars or caravan
raiders or anything nasty happening at all, let me know and I'll pass the info along
to Mila and we'll go kick some behind.
That's it for me; I'm out of stuff to talk about. I hope one of the Apples gets
the throne from me this turn. But I hope I don't die.
Javelino
SPY REPORT
Welcome ROCANIS. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Biff! Pow! ROCANIS
watched with glee as BAD APPLES got knocked off top spot by PUNCH-OUT!! What's with
KID QUICK? He actually beat ROCANIS' MAGE'S APPRENTICE, and walked away with 12 more
points from the fight. Major screwup at BAD APPLES. BITTER VETCH lost 13 points to
RIRORNI ASSASSIN. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe BITTER VETCH will provide
more easy wins... DEADFALL was reminded on the sands why JAVELINO is Duelmaster.
Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
Warriors of ROCANIS unite. You have only your games to lose! Sending a warrior
to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd better shape up. Tough beans, NARROW
FOAL. That's what a 3-8-1 gets you. How long have I been here? I got people to
see, places to go...
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? The
end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want to
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Applemint -- Don't just stand there with your feet planted. You need to shift around
a bit; then I might not have hit your leg. -- Javelino
Deadfall -- Yes. And it wasn't that poorly done; everybody has those days. --
Javelino
Deadfall -- I really don't like your style, or your size. Are you sure you fit
within the Commission's height requirements? -- Hedgehog
Large Dog -- You need to practice not missing, I think. If not for that, you might
have won because I'm not very good at this. -- Narrow Foal
Javelino -- You're a pig, but your a competent pig. I hope you get roasted, but NOT
with an apple in your mouth. -- Applemint
The Rirorni Turncoat is a wimp. -- Bitter Vetch
Hedgehog -- C'mon, kid, let's hear you roar, eh? -- Deadfall
Contraband -- Really? What KIND of contraband? -- Candy Apple
Narrow Foal -- I am so impressed by your victory. My goodness, how did you manage
it? -- Large Dog
Kid Quick -- My guildmates will be calling on you. -- Ghost of the Persistent Beggar

Youngblood's Three and Out Contest
I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).
1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
eliminated.
5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
the contest.
6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
contest.
7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
active in the contest.
8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
contest, no questions asked.
9. Challenges are legal, up or down.
10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
<<<PRIZES>>>
As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
