DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My manager sent me to the Dark Arena when I was 0-2 and now look at me. It just
goes to show he needs to have a little more patience.
Orphan
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DRAGONHEAD,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! KNIGHTS TEMPLAR? Who? X-POSSE is the top
team these days, buddies! Those betting on CRIME WAVE lost their shirt, as CRIME
WAVE lost their fighting abilities: 0-0-0. Good things come to those who fight
well, as X-POSSE can attest, moving up by 1. EPOCHOLYPSE had cause to celebrate,
after MR. FUNNYPANTS got 23 points by beating FULK D'ANJOU. A certain someone should
cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 20 points to MR. FUNNYPANTS.
(Discrete enough, FULK D'ANJOU?) ORPHAN successfully staved off a grab for the roses
by GOLD HAMMER of METAL HAMMERZ. Does DRAGONHEAD have no one talented enough to
dethrone him? So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and
ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in
FREELANCERS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, KNIGHTS TEMPLAR scurried away from FREELANCERS.
Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral
hygiene? Whatever it is, RENE D'ANJOU is the most challenged warrior.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Charity is
unknown in DRAGONHEAD, and rightly so. X-POSSE exacted their revenge against
MURDEROUS CROWS. Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after
you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! DRAGONHEAD, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The
Dripping Blade. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

All -- Very sorry, but I have to sit out several turns. Really, I'm just Too, Two,
To, 2 tired! -- Sultan, hang'n on to when I can devote more time to this fine game.
Best of luck to all.
Andar -- Thanks for the skills. -- Sentinel-3
Jaque de Molay -- I think you better stick to the downchallenge. -- Cannonball
2 Phat Too -- I'll let you challenge me. Maybe it will work out better. --
Cannonball
Lady Sarina -- Surely you know your place. And it's *NOT* in the arena. -- Phil The
Fair
Cyolis -- It's that shot to the right elbow, ya know? -- Rex Mundi
The Taxman -- Those hits to the legs can be devastating. Thanks for all the skills!
-- Rene
Cannonball -- Well done. Next time, I take *YOUR* head off. -- Jaque D'Molay
Venus Dee Milo -- Mon chere; bad style matchup for you. Cheap little hussy too.
Where's my skills? -- Fulk d'Anjou
Sultan -- All part of my enjoyment of the game. You should see what I recently
discovered! -- Baphomet
Savant -- This is a Delarq arena. Expect to be downchallenged. If some can't take
it...go to the Andorian (hack...cough...spit) arenas. -- Baphomet
P.S. Sorry to knock you out of Top Team spot, but decided to start graduating some
of my warriors here. My AD record *SUCKS* and I've got a manager there who needs
tending to.
11 November 2004
All you alliance-type people, I'm trying (again!) to get my alliance listing correct
and up to date. Either send me a diplo (address it to The Saint) or send your
updates to me directly at Sue at solberg-mathews.com. As you may guess, replace the
at with @ and you're good to go (I do hate spammy mail and this will end up on the
web).
I have information on the following alliances: ADIO, Allied Axis, Armada,
Brotherhood of Justice, Brotherhood of the Blade, Cadre, CDC, Chaos, Inc., Circle of
Order, Company of Brothers, Consortium, Council of Lords, Couple Good Guys, Crimson
Vengeance, DOA, DOOMcorps, Enigmafia, Eurosquad, Fascist Federation, FONZ,
Frothingslosh Syndicate, GAPPDA, Homeland Alliance, IT Alliance, Jingoists, kLk,
Knights of the Covenant, LBA, League Arcane, Legion6, Living Essences, Lords and
Ladies of Darkness, Manic Union, Midnight Foundation, Minions of Diana, Monarchs of
Montezuma, NCA, NIMROD, R.A.G.E., Seventh Sons, The Firm, The French Connection,
Vendett@ United, and the Vendetta Cartel.
If you are a member of one of these alliances, let me know. If you are a member of
some other alliance that isn't listed, let me know. If you were at any point in your
past a part of one of these alliance but are now independent, also let me know.
Going inactive doesn't mean you get removed from this list; people are assumed to
still be in the same alliance when they return. Even having everyone in an alliance
go inactive doesn't change anything. If an alliance is officially disbanding, that's
another thing you have to let me know....
The Saint, keeper of lists
P.S. If you already responded to my online plea (and I replied), you can ignore
this.

Hammer 500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups
Hosted by Hammer
Niytyole Island DM 33 has dwindled to the point where as of T-482 [duedate
November 3, 2004] there were only 2 active stables listed with 3 inactive stables in
a once thriving and lively regular arena.
During the past 40+ cycles Hammer has been hosting the Hammer Run for the Roll
Ups in DM 33.
Thus far only the Ripper and Slasher categories have produced winners to claim
the 5 New Team Roll Ups Prize for being the first declared Style Master of their
respective categories to graduate.
Every contending stable has gone inactive for one reason or another, including
CASINO HAMMERZ, over the past several months.
Now DM 33 faces the harsh reality that if RSI chooses to close any arenas due to
little or no interest, Niytyole Island could very well head the list of endangered
regular arenas!
In an effort to preserve his beloved island, Hammer is announcing the
continuation of the Hammer Run for the Roll Ups; combined with the Hammer 500 which
will conclude both contests on T-500 [duedate July 13, 2005] should DM 33 continue to
remain open in the coming months.
Attention Hammer Runners!
The Hammer Run is for 0 FE Basic Arena Warriors ONLY. Participants MUST Be
Declared in the P-ads On or Before their First DM 33 Basic Arena Fight to Qualify as
a Hammer Runner! Winners of Each Category will receive 5 New Team Roll Up Gift
Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of Hammer! [On the condition that they
Graduate on or before T-500; see amended rules below!]
The following Style Master categories remain open with a listing of how many
declared contestants are still entered and their W/L recognition record at the time
of their disappearance from the Hammer Run competition:
(P-ad declarations in parenthesis)
[Manager name/Stable name in brackets] followed by their last known W/L
recognition ranking

As you can plainly see, the Hammer Run is still wide open in several categories,
depending upon whether or not the deactivated stables are reactivated for the Hammer
500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups contest!
Any declared warrior who succeeds in graduating by T-500 will win 5 New Team
Roll Ups Gift Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of Hammer! Gift Certs will be
awarded as soon as possible upon official graduation if the graduation occurs prior
to T-500.
On T-500 the highest ranked ACTIVE declared warrior in the category(s) without a
Graduate will win 2 New Team Roll Ups Gift Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of
Hammer!
Additional Hammer 500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups Gift Cert Prizes:
Five (5) Gift Certs will be awarded to the manager whose warrior claims the
Duelmaster Throne on T-500.
Two (2) Gift Certs will be awarded to the manager(s) whose warrior(s) are listed
as the highest Active Challenger Champion, Champion, Challenger Adept, Adept,
Challenger Initiate and Initiate on T-500.
In the event that NO Duelmaster is seated upon the Duelmaster Throne on T-500
there will be Three (3) Gift Certs awarded to the managers whose Active warriors are
tied for recognition points at the Top of the Challenger Champions recognition
standings. [Therefore, the Top CC will be awarded 3 Gift Certs instead of 2 for
being ranked as the highest CC on T-500].

SHOULD RSI CHOOSE TO CLOSE DM 33 PRIOR TO T-500 ONLY THE HIGHEST ACTIVE DECLARED
STYLE MASTER CONTESTANTS WILL BE AWARDED TWO (2) GIFT CERTS AND ALL OTHER PRIZE
CATEGORIES WILL BE DECLARED NULL AND VOID BY HAMMER!!!!!!!!!
The purpose of this contest is to restore DM 33 to a lively and entertaining
arena!
Hammer is willing to foot the Prize bill in a last ditch effort to save Niytyole
Island from deletion if RSI and the Gladiatorial Commission decide that more arenas
need to be closed due to lack of participation and interest.
Should this effort fail to spare DM 33 from deletion, then Hammer is prepared to
transfer CASINO HAMMERZ to another arena if Niytyole Island is closed by RSI and the
Gladiatorial Commission.

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
