DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Warriors of Dragonhead,
It is I, your Duelmistress Eve! Too bad the "boys" up top couldn't keep me from my
rightful place as your tyrannical ruler. Caddell was unable to stop my rise to
greatness.
I leave the arena as I started 15-8-4-17-17-12-11 SL. I have Adv Master Init, Adv
Expert Riposte, Adv Master Attack, Expert Parry, and Adv Master Decise. 98 learned
skills and I'm +3 Attack and +4 Decise. I leave with 4 TVs to my credit, and
hopefully a last one in the upcoming tourney, though to be honest a TC would be
better.
My challenges go to the two top contenders--Jarrac and Andro Meda, and I will be
avoiding no one. We will see who is worthy to sit upon the great throne.
Lord Protector Eve
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
DRAGONHEAD brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, FREELANCERS, since
ROCKERS OF RAGE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this
keeps up, VERMIN, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 6 in
the rankings? FEARSOME LEGENDS turned their 3-1-0 turn into a 6th place rank in the
listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Now let's
all watch CRIMSON KILLERS' heads swell from their 3-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha!
Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see THE
BAKER win a fight and gain 26 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, THE BAKER beat BLAZE
REGICIDE and BLAZE REGICIDE lost 25 points. You're breakin' my heart. JARRAC
challenged DRAGONHEAD's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the
spice of life, DRAGONHEAD may be getting bland, as EVE stays top dog in the city.
The Dripping Blade, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get
this stuff? From DRAGONHEAD's trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. DRAGONHEAD, I am losing what little hope I had in you.
FREELANCERS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it
looks like FEARSOME LEGENDS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be
losers, if you ask me. Hmph. ANDERON was challenged more times this turn than the
Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for DRAGONHEAD's
morgue. More variety. It's about time CYOLIS got beat for picking on warriors like
CHAOS SPEAR. Bravo, HAREM OF CHAOS. See you at The Dripping Blade. Honor is like a
chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless
rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in DRAGONHEAD to get a drink than The Dripping
Blade! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of DRAGONHEAD. I feel much better now. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Raging Bull -- I apologize for the kill. I can control challenges after the first
turn only, so I look forward to your bloodfeud. -- CK1
26 June 2003
STOP THINKING TOGS!!!!! It's here. Well, almost here anyway. We're looking at
a start date of the first turn in Aradi (DM 60) following the Fall Mail-In. This
should give everyone sufficient time to study the new ultra-improved T#%S IV rules
and prep accordingly. So without further ado, here is your handy-dandy guide to
winning your very own Golden Scrod (and some other very cool prizes to be announced
officially before the start of the tourney that must not be named):
1. Each T#%S team consists of two managers. After the tourney starts, there will be
no switching partners whatsoever, so choose your partners wisely. T#%S IV will
last for 13 turns, so pick a partner you can stand for 6 months or so. The only
team I know of so far is last TOGS winners: Ganolus Oakleaf/Hombre of Blood
Related/Thieves Guild. Hey, this is fun!
2. The T#%S entry fee is 2 team setups per manager. This means 4 setups per T#%S
team. This entry fee is required before the start of the tourney with no
exceptions being made. This is to ensure that nobody gets screwed if a team or
manager decides to back out early. To pay the entry fee either:
a) send $10 cash/check/money order/ or whatever to me personally at:
Andy Salveson
6812 Romanzo Way
Elk Grove, CA 95758
b) get RSI to send me 2 team setup gift certificates. Sorry, no credit cards and
no old teams you have lying around will be accepted.
3. T#%S point system:
10 points for winning on your up-challenge against another T#%S warrior.
7 points for winning on your even challenge of another T#%S warrior.
7 points for winning on another T#%S warriors challenge.
7 points for winning a random matchup against another T#%S warrior.
4 points for winning on your down-challenge of another T#%S warrior.
4 points for winning a random matchup against a non-T#%S warrior. Do not fight
your team mate, you will not get any points. Also, you will not get any points
if you challenge or get challenged by a non-T#%S team, so use your avoids
wisely if you think someone is out to get you.
10 points for being the Duelmaster. This is in addition to all points listed
above and will begin turn 1, so prep accordingly.
5 points for every spotlight written by any team member, 1 per manager per turn.
The minimum length of a spotlight to receive points is 1/2 column in the
newsletter (that's 31 lines-each line 85 characters across) and I will be
completely firm on this. In addition to the length criteria, spotlights will
not be given points if they are in any way plagiarized or if they are not
Duelmasters or fantasy related. I will be the sole judge of this. If you're
unsure if I will judge something to be Duelmasters or fantasy related, then
e-mail me before you write the spotlight and ask me. I reserve the right to
take points away from a spotlight after they are given if I judge at a later
time that the spotlight has been plagiarized.
-5 points per manager per turn every time a manager does not at least write one
personal ad.
-5 points for being the team that avoided the most.
If you participated in TOGS III, you'll notice some slight changes in the points
structure. The main things are points for random match ups against non T#%S
warriors, bonus points for being the Duelmaster, new spotlight criteria, and no
points given for being the most avoided team.
4. I already mentioned this, but T#%S IV will start the first turn in arena 60 after
the Fall Mail-In runs and it will last for 13 turns. There will not be a
Survivor format this time around, meaning no eliminations. I will still be doing
the multipliers at the end, however. This means that all points accumulated by a
team on turns 10 and 11 will be multiplied by 1.5 and all points accumulated by
each team on turns 12 and 13 will be multiplied by 2.
5. Prizes are yet to be determined, but I'll tell you what I know. There will be
prizes given out each turn to whichever team scores the most combined points on a
given turn. Tie breakers will go to the team with the most wins on that turn and
then to the team with most overall points. I have asked RSI for the same prizes
as last TOGS which were transferring any warrior to arena 60 and renaming Aradi
for approximately 6 months, but we'll see what they come back with. I haven't
decided how to split the prizes up, partly because I don't know how many teams
will be entering yet, but I do know the prizes will be split among the top 3
teams at the end. I will announce the exact breakdown of everything when I know
more.
6. And just like TOGS III, Death Stud and I will be the sole arbiters of any dispute
that may arise. Whine all you like, but as Nuln told you last time, that's how
it is.
7. M & RR Clause (go ahead, read between the capitals): I reserve the right to
disallow entry to this tourney if you have a previous history of being a big fat
mouth about everything.
I think that pretty much covers it. I will be accepting team entries as of now
and then posting them in the newsletters as I receive entry fees. Please feel free
to e-mail me regarding any questions or comments at Ganolus@aol.com. So everyone don
your best pair of leg warmers, hop on your favorite farm animal, and ride to Aradi
for the 4th kinda-annual Tournament that must not be named for no apparent reason
whatsoever, or T#%S IV, for short. See ya'll there!

To All Managers -- I would like to take this time to announce that my alliance, The
Association, is no more. Due to the dead weight managers of the alliance and their
lack of participation, DarkSpirit and I have formed a new alliance: The Firm. We
have taken on two members so far and are looking for a few more. If you would like
to find out more about The Firm, you can diplo Dark Spirit, Unknowns XX in arena 15
or myself, Sungod, Sadists F2FII in arena 62.
--* The Firm *--
Sungod -- Sadists F2FII -- 62
Dark Spirit -- Unknowns XX -- 15
Youngblood -- Wensinwasin -- 43
Tripwire -- Of Wolf and Man -- 1
