DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail, Collusion Cove!
Well, they say brevity is the soul of wit, in which case Tiny Tim is a heckuva lot
funnier than me, but I wasn't the one getting my forearms shaved by a scimitar last
turn. Not surprisingly, the boss thinks I should continue my scum-hunting ways,
which I'm all for. One-Timer, you get my first challenge this turn; I've always
wanted to see if I could put a dent in that impressive record of yours before I call
it quits. My second goes out to one of Creepy's scum (who can remember all of their
names?).
For those who grok on numbers mine go:
10-10-11-15-17-9-12
admas +2 init, exp rip, mast att, adex def and only an exp dec. My saving graces
were the +4 init and learning the right skills, but being able to use a scimitar
never hurts either.
Well, the boss says he'd like see me keep this chair 'til I graduate and retire to
drinking martinis on the beach here. Just think, an endlessly immortal life of
martini-sipping on the beach? I can't wait....
Your wicked fresh Duelmistress,
Shmamy Crocket
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ARADI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team DEATH STUDS VII was
unseated this week as 4000 BLOWS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with
a 3-2-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week ARADI RESORT & SPA went 4-1-0 to move up 9 in the
rankings. My praise to WING HOVE for their 4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was
a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! As is fitting, the most sought after
warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster SHMAMY
CROCKETT herself. This time out DERRIN made his bid for the throne as he challenged
SHMAMY CROCKETT in an all out contest of skill for possession of the title! This
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail DERRIN, Duelmaster of ARADI!
Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole
city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ARADI "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in
ARADI these days is ARADI RESORT & SPA. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of WING HOVE are catching the bulk of jests
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. A match that
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that DAYNE posted a challenge
against the more highly recognized KRAKEN. The results, you ask? Well, the
firebrand DAYNE won victory over KRAKEN. Remember warriors, this is the discipline
of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! GREEN DISEASE must hold silent, for this week he
was humbled in the arena by a successful Bloodfeud won by SPAM SANDWICH of CHILDHOOD
TRAUMA. Hail SPAM SANDWICH for thy victory! 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 ARADI. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! 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

The Consortium Elders (how eld is eld?) -- Well, when you take into consideration Mr.
Steinbrenner and everyone else's opinion, just remember he had quite a burden to
carry this past TOGS. We salute you and your contest-winning ways! -- Nuln
Death Stud -- Do you mind my asking where you got that back brace? -- Nuln
I hope some people stick around and run here post-TOGS. There is rumor that the
Andorian hold may be slipping, and things might get interesting. -- Nuln
Soultaker -- As I mentioned to you earlier, I was equally as impressed by your
ability to ride that mini-bucking bronco of a teammate of yours, D. Studly. You got
a nice loose hand there, bud. >;) -- Nuln
Snotman -- What are the odds we didn't match up last turn? The answer: very poor.
Now I can finally use my avoids. :) -- Nuln
P.S. Good run this TOGS; drinks on me at the Starfish. Wait, did I just say that?
Soulie & Stud -- A hearty and well-earned congratulations, gentlemen, on your TOGS
victory. Drinks on me at the Starfish. -- Snuln
Natalia -- Nothing personal, just business. -- the Avenging Scrod of Business
Rickon a.k.a. the Ricker a.k.a. Ricky-baby -- Nice one, Rick. Your record is
slightly deceptive. -- White Weeyotch
Ninja -- Hey, silent buddy. Did you know that DA used to be my back-up? Well now
you do! -- Leg Warmer Lust, warmin' up for the Face
Teeny Tim -- You're cute when you let me carve you up with my knife. We should do
that again sometimes. *kisses* -- Shmamy Crockett
There's something really funny about the word "man-sow". Ha ha.
All -- I'm finally able to challenge anyone in the arena and my team is basically
down to two guys. Two guys getting DA'd this turn so hopefully I get one decent
replacement. My fifth and best warrior on this team, I'm holding out for rookies at
the face, which kinda sucks when you want to do well in the regular arena. Oso is
getting really nervous because the other four original members of the team have been
viciously murdered. Well, killed in fair combat anyway. Hmm, I just realized I
didn't bloodfeud this turn and I'm not sure why. Well, just rambling. -- Pauly
Avenging Scrod -- Belated blood feud may be coming your way. Soon everyone will be
calling you the Avenged Upon Scrod. Or something to that effect. Anyway, you get
the picture. -- Pauly
Nuln -- I couldn't help but notice that Son of Butch was missing from the Valamantis
newsletter. Which could only mean he was slain in the tourney, I guess. Needless to
say, A.T. JR was devastated that the Junior Alliance was dead before it could reach
its full potential. He thought about taking up the torch himself but figured it just
wouldn't be right without him. -- Pauly
All -- Didn't mean to drop out of the personals right after TOGS but my brain needed
a break from all that writing. I hope to stick around full time from here on out. --
Indimar
Pauly -- How's it feel to have a few more challenges available? -- Indimar
Editor of the AW&WFAFP -- I've been married over 25 years, my wife has already seen
me with my pantaloons off...of course it has been quite some time. -- Indimar
Verbal Miscues -- Nice to have you here, welcome to Aradi. However, it is much
cheaper and usually more productive to purchase another team setup for $5 than to
send your entire team to the Dark Arena. -- Death Stud
P.S. If you are new and need help, don't hesitate to ask via newsletter or diplo.
Most everyone here would be happy to help. Also, see www.reality.com/duel2/
Lathe of Heaven -- We missed you last turn. Where are my easy wins supposed to come
from if you are sitting inactive? -- Death Stud
Non-TOGS teams -- Thanks for your consideration during the TOGS. I am sure that
you're tired of only fighting each other, so feel free to challenge us if you are
looking for something different now that it is over. But, protect your head.... --
Studs
Wow, I'm still the Current Top Team with an 11-3. It's almost like the TOGS is still
going. -- Death Studs (sure to crash and burn miserably this turn after this
comments)
The Consortium Folk -- Thank you and you were gracious, tough competition as always.
You might have had a chance at this thing without Manalganchor dragging you down. --
Studdie
All -- I hope that everyone did well at the tourney and brings glory to our fair
city. -- Death Stud
Soultaker -- Wow, you thanked almost everybody. I've never know you to be so
grateful. -- Death Stud
Soultaker -- OK, can you get off my back now? -- Stud
Slipknot -- Not today, yung'un. -- One-Timer
Slightly Off-Black -- Now you are slightly on your back. -- Evil

alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!

In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce
the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders". The
group consists of the following members:
Doc LeGrande
Apex
Street Legal
Carnage
Ghoti
Roadkill
Valamond
This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this
alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We
fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager
brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We
have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on
the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and
respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched.
Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their
prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those
that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land.
We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from
Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus
arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land.
Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we
are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We
have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are.

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light:
Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your
pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more
than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52,
REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari
know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

I received a Gift Certificate from someone. I'm assuming it's for entry into the
Turf War 5. Whoever sent this to me...please email me at rbaphomets@yahoo.com.
Thanks.
