DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Kyr'Terr,
Does anyone actually answer to that? I can't imagine... I'm just saying, this place
kind of LACKS in identity. Which makes me wonder why I'm even here. What was he
thinking?
Never mind, I'll stop rambling now. I wish I could stay, but the Lady beckons and I
best not keep her waiting. I'm told I'll be getting a new manager (again) when I
reach the Isle; I couldn't care less. Not like I got to know (or like) this one
anyway, and I hear that the new one is one of the best in all of Andorak! Perhaps,
some day, I might represent him there. Well, one can dream...
May the best warrior replace me,
The Sadman
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for KYR'TERR. I don't wanna hurt anybody's
feelings or anything, but CHIEFS' ELITE really goofed with their 0-0-0. The guys at
NIGHTHAWKS like really pulled together to get a 1-3-0 this turn, moving up by 9. MVP
award for MORROLAN E'DRIEN? THE FURIOUS FIVE's proud of him after beating KING TEC
and getting 12 points. Talk about yer major upsets! FINGER LAKES' match with LEGAL
MAN cost it a loss of 5 points! The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause he's
Number One! DASKINOR knows this. He was challenged by the Duelmaster. And I was
just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome DASKINOR.
Aren't DARQUE FORCES proud. (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to
his teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? CYNICAL DELUSIONS was KYR'TERR's
most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Is there some deep dark secret why
HAZAARDS OF CLONING's been avoiding CYNICAL DELUSIONS so much? Or is it just that
they're too scared? Can DARQUE FORCES' KING TEC be more popular than me? He was
challenged the most, but is that really the same?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Master Darque -- I'll drink to the RUGs, since I have a few replacements coming my
way. That said, the warriors they produce will need to be undisputably worthwhile to
keep me here any longer than it will take to finish with Morrolan and Solar Sister.

The Contract
[as retold by Hammer the WordSmith]
What had begun as a contract for swords and armor between a well known name in
the DM community and the former VC Captain/WordSmith and WeaponSmith of the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe was destined to impact and altar the landscape of the dueling
community for years to come.
The following is but a condensed retelling of history in the making.
Hammer continued sipping his tankard of Elven Tonic as the mysterious hooded
figure quietly seated himself across the table from the Veteran Manager whose back
was against the wall; allowing for a subtle, but effective surveillance of the dimly
lit tavern.
Recent events in both Illis and North Fork/SCOMSS Swamp Arena had stunned the DM
managerial world with the announcement that Hammer had resigned from his position as
a well respected member of the Vendetta Cartel Alliance.
Those managers and associates closest to Hammer were shocked and dismayed that
there seemed to be NO Rational Explanation for Hammer making such a seemingly
irrational, hasty and extremely illogical decision; by what seemed to be a spur of
the moment reaction following the Declaration of War by Hammer in the DM 47 P-ads.
This is what stirred the mysterious hooded figure to seek Hammer with a request
that would change the managerial course of both men; ultimately Rocking the
Managerial World of Alastari as a result of the forthcoming decisions reached by the
two Veterans.
Time passed swiftly as both Veteran Managers discussed how the landscape of the
DM game on the sands of Alastari had changed over the years both in Basic and Tourney
play; producing a new breed of managers who would of necessity band together in an
alliance with a common goal; waging war against antagonists while improving the
managerial skills of each participating member in their glorious quest for DM
excellence.
Hammer listened intently as his unexpected guest inquired about the situation in
North Fork/SCOMSS Swamp Arena; revealing his desire to participate in the upcoming
Turf War 4 contest in DM 47 with an alliance that would accept him on a more
permanent basis other than for just fighting together as a TW4 alliance to win fame
and Gift Certs.
Here was a Veteran Manager, seeking the advice of Hammer regarding an alliance
to join on a permanent basis; plus extending a sword arm of friendship and requesting
that Hammer join him as an alliance mate with those who would welcome their
membership.
The Iron in the Words of Hammer had produced this opportunity as a result of the
recent conflicts witnessed first hand by the manager seated across the table from
Hammer. This Veteran Manager had been secretly searching and scouting around
Alastari for someone worth his mettle to fight alongside; someone who would know
where to find the perfect gang of rebels who were unafraid of waging war against
anyone.
Hammer knew exactly where to look and in a matter of days the two newcomers were
welcomed into the ranks of a group of managers who received them as war waging equals
in an alliance that had joined a Confederation of Alliances for the TW4 contest.
Fighting under the banner of The Illuminati Confederation of Alliances alongside
members of Chaos Inc, kLk and The Company of Brothers during the TW4 was more than
either of the two Veteran Managers had envisioned a few months ago.
Hammer was now entering a new journey with a new attitude.
Perhaps you readers may have noticed that new attitude by now since this
announcement by Hammer is uncharacteristically Exclamation Point Free.
Except for the famous quote by Hammer at the end of this announcement.
Now that Hammer and the Mysterious Hooded Figure have agreed to join forces with
an alliance whose members have welcomed them enthusiastically; let those who desire
to be antagonistic be forewarned as to the identities of these newly welcomed wagers
of war:
Tripwire
kLk Bringer of Pain
Hammer
kLk WordSmith and WeaponSmith
Minister of War
Illuminati Idealist
"May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper!"
