DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
OK. OK. I guess that makes four. But does anyone really care other than me? Or my
manager? (I wonder if he gets a bonus for it? I didn't. Hmmm.) Maybe Elin Gallio
cares; she seems like a really nice lady. I like ladies.
Other than that, what is this life all about? We work out daily, (Well, most of
us.) then every two weeks or so we wonder into the arena and whack, slash, lunge,
parry, and dodge our way in a pretty serious match, hoping nobody gets killed. (They
do, you know: I've killed three times and I am sad about each one. Who knows, it
easily could be that my turn is next!) Then somebody wins and somebody loses and half
the world is happy and half sad. Makes me think maybe I want a different job! Maybe an
engineer, or a politician, or a salesman, or even a finance guy. Yeah! That's what I
want to be -- a financier. sign me up!
Meanwhile, I will be here fighting away, hoping nobody dies. So don't.
-- Amex, DMIV
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! KNIGHTS OF NI? Who? MIDDLE WAY 20 is the top
team these days, buddies! What's a move up by 3 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't
ask) Cause for celebration, according to MIDDLE WAY 20. KNIGHTS OF NI had cause to
celebrate, after NEWT got 22 points by beating ELIN GALLIO. A certain someone should
cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 18 points to NEWT.
(Discrete enough, ELIN GALLIO?) DEAD COLLECTOR found out that ROCANIS isn't a
democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in
ROCANIS is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it
works.
So much to report, so little time! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of MEN OF STEEL, alone and unchallenged. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, KNIGHTS OF NI scurried away from MEN OF STEEL.
Oh, the shame! If challenges were horses, ELIN GALLIO could open up a fast food
joint!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! TABAR THE KNIFE in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for ROO of MEN OF STEEL.
Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at Mylar's will be! Ask not for whom the sword
slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Do not
despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

BLOODGAMES at the WINTER FACE-TO-FACE
Congratulations to the winners of the Winter 2019 Bloodgames!
We held two Bloodgames arenas at the Winter Face to Face:
FTF-Style (DM 96): for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies
Mail-in-Style (DM 97): for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds
Each manager's Bloodgames team had ten warriors, one of each style, all attributes
according to the manager's desire (84 points total). After ten rounds of brutal
battles, the Bloodgames Champions are the living warriors with the greatest number
of kills (only one of each style in each arena). These champions have been granted
immortality and advanced to ADM! The winners were:
DM 96
Slasher: GEORGE WAHLEN of MEDAL OF HONOR 29 96-6436, 8-2-5
Parry-Lunge: IMA PLUNGER of WIRA TEAM 96-6399, 8-2-5
Striker: HOMINY of CORN DOGS 96-6775, 8-2-4
DM 97
Wall-of-Steel: GET MARRIED of GAMBLING 2 97-7204, 8-2-5
Striker: HIAWATHA of KHOR'S INDIGENOUS 97-7160 10-0-4
