DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, the Virginal Concubine was a washout. Okay as a person, perhaps, although
I guess she really annoyed somebody to end up in the arena, but as a gladiator?
Forget it.

SPY REPORT
Hail AMEN-TEI! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as CAR AND DRIVER is pushed
out of top team by WAYFARERS, who came from 2nd with a 2-2-0 this turn. The 1949
YANKEES guild has had a 4-0-1 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You
never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, TOPPALGOR fought
BLACKSUN and gained 10 points and contributed to WAYFARERS' 2-2-0. TOM-TOM TORA has
lost to NO WAY!, falling 2 points, while helping make WAYFARERS a 2-2-0 turn. And
not without some honor, FRELSY now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of
AMEN-TEI. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at The Warty Toad until they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. BERRA must have surprised 1949
YANKEES this turn, after they sent him to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't
hold him! Is it really true that AMEN-TEI has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, AMEN-TEI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in AMEN-TEI and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

Khalhums Dwarf? Bah. -- Roadblock
I guess I should know better than to lower my guard while listening to the Veteran
Mercenary tell his war stories. But they were good stories. -- Tom-Tom Tora
Daytona -- Wow, a real opponent! And I won and learned skills, besides. It doesn't
get much better than this. -- Slippery
P.S. Especially not in this arena.
Matt Kenseth -- (sniveling a little) You...you ran me down! -- Toppalgor
Lielian, Virginal Concubine -- Wait a damned MINUTE, you undersexed toothpick! Say
something like that again, and *I* will bury YOU in the sand, and LEAVE you there. --
Tom-Tom Tora
P.S. The sand of the shore, where the cold, cold waters of the Trier can wash back
and forth over you, which is EXACTLY what you deserve, because YOU are cold.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be virginal.

I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!

Champions:
a. Champions may be declared, but are not mandatory. If declared, the Champion
must be in the Adepts or lower brackets on the turn they are declared
without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
transferred teams. (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)

same conditions as noted for TVs.

for.
i. Only 7 teams are permitted per alliance for the Turf War 5.
PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
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!
