DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Another turn another lopsided win. Unfortunately I was unable to separate Ganglare's
head from his shoulders. It would have made much improvement in his looks and helped
out my lunger teammates but alas it was not to be. I am sure that you are all
terribly concerned about this so I will mention that Salazar is feeling much better
as of late. After he choked down a few of Severus's magical healing potions his
health improved rapidly.
The Challenger Champion class is finally starting to fill up. Unfortunately one of
those pesky Force of Five blokes made it up near the top so I will most likely be
spending this turn defending against a bloodfued challenge. Interestingly if Frankie
actually does manage to outjump me, he even stands a chance of graduating before me
to win the Striker Competition. Here I thought I had this race all wrapped up and he
goes and makes a contest out of it again. The nerve! It could very well come down
to if I get my invite on the "magical" thirty-fourth fight equivalent or not. This
number has proven fortuitous in the past for other gladiators of my quality,
hopefully it will prove just as lucky if the unthinkable (I lose) happens.
Well I have rambled long enough.
Your Future Lord,
Tom Riddle
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of DAIYLA KIV! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week CARNIVOROUS SHEEP went 1-0-0 to move
up 8 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which EINHERJAR IV
managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!
FRANKIE THE FISH caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested DREIHDEN TP and was awarded 34 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, SLAP YOURSELF put down OTTO, causing him to lose 21
points of recognition in the process. Who here was not present for the title fight
this week as GANGLARE boldly challenged TOM RIDDLE in order to strive for the
Duelmasters honors? Not for nothing has TOM RIDDLE in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. 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 DAIYLA KIV "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in DAIYLA KIV these days is FORCE OF FIVE. At least, most blades in town are looking
to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent
the better part of last week avoiding FORCE OF FIVE. Indeed it was DARK TOADZ.
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. <FOLGER'S CRYSTALS>
take warning! You have more than a few enemies in DAIYLA KIV. At the gambling halls
I have started to bet money on DURANY. He has got the courage it takes. Witness his
challenge this turn against <FOLGER'S CRYSTALS>! Do not the gods reward courage?
DURANY it was that claimed victory in the bout, while also rising 26 points in
recognition. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems
that ANGEL EDO posted a challenge against the more highly recognized VIRGIN QUEEN.
The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand ANGEL EDO overcame VIRGIN QUEEN. Remember
warriors, this is the discipline of steel. I can not but mention with disdain the
name of SANTIAGO who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below
in the rankings. I thought SANTIAGO showed great skill and promise when he was
overcame by DURBATULUK. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I have seen warriors die in youth. I have seen
men cut down in their prime. This week THE DREIHDENS must mourn the loss of 14-4-0
DREIHDEN TP to FORCE OF FIVE. I must report the passing of BART SIMPSON, veteran of
many duels. 8-10-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no
favorites. This week in mortal passion DREIHDEN TAG let the blood of BART SIMPSON,
sending one more soul into the void. Retribution by SPRINGFIELD USA seems
inevitable! 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 DAIYLA KIV. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

What is funny...is that I've beaten some of you...Haaaaa Haaa Haaa!!! -- HIV #3
All -- Come on people challenge me...do something for Gods' sake!!! You're really
making us very angry and don't know how much more we can stand before we snap. Let's
make that ending of this contest hot-n-heavy...try to hand us a losing overall
record!!! If it is possible? -- STDS...COME GET SOME!!!
Drips -- You seem awfully cocky for a little warrior, you know? -- Black Orpheus
Upinya -- You are not doing badly for a rookie manager at all. You are a little more
vocally arrogant than your typical rookie manager... hopefully, it won't come back to
haunt you. -- TigToad
STDS -- The contest goes 25 turns. The newsletter you are reading is turn 18. So 7
more turns after this one. -- TigToad
All -- Remember to announce styles... the contest is 18 out of 25 turns over, but
some of these contests are down to 1 or 2 warriors, so a death could still net you
stylemaster. -- TigToad
Vincent Crabbe -- Take that! And don't even think about using Manager's TPs to try
and climb back up the ranks. We wouldn't want Rillion to suffer anymore "accidents"
like what happened at the FtF. -- <Folger's Crystals>
Upinya -- This contest is scheduled to run 25 turns. This turn (270) will be the
18th turn of the contest. I trust you can do the math from there. -- Salazar
Slytherin
Folger's Crystal -- Sigh, guess I need a little more dodging practice. -- Vincent
Crabbe
Mikey Hatcher -- An unfortunate match up for me. Impressive performance for you. --
Lord Voldemort
Nurnling -- How odd, you scummed me. -- Gregory Goyle
Angel Edo -- So was that worth it? -- Draco Malfoy
Summer -- Now that was some learns, all that and this week's favorite. -- Hofding
Warg
Tom Riddle -- That's twice, maybe the third time is the charm. -- Ganglare
Dixie -- What happened to your learns? -- In the Pit
Fat Punk -- As you may have noticed, I suck. -- Sigard, warrior want-to-be!
Jay Howell -- Ah, the bite of cold, cruel steel. One of the drawbacks of this job,
unfortunately. -- Syr-Davan
P.S. You could tell, could you not, that before I entered the arena I taught in the
tevas?
Otto -- Darn. -- Donstan
P.S. If you want eloquent, let me win.
Nelson -- Aha! And also, Oho! -- Pelak ten Zorn, who doesn't do eloquent even after
victory
Bart Simpson -- This is not a job for children, you know. -- Tilaen tyl Sanh
The Tick -- This was Tock. -- Tsirell

Citizens of Alastari, a bright dawn has risen. While you slept, a pernicious
force has entered the once-fair City of Aruak. It fought alongside their treasured
warriors, it drank with their fans, and it slept with their women. Now the masks are
coming off.
Warriors, be afraid...be very afraid. After years of Andorian managers ranting
that Aruak is the safest city in Alastari, the Frothingslosh Syndicate has selected
Aruak City as the home for its next epic 'contest'--Murder by Numbers II. Our spies
have selected the warriors for extermination, and the executioners have had several
months to prepare. Now a new age of darkness will descend upon Aruak, as the
Syndicate and its allies bring an entirely new level of competition to the arena!
Downchallenges! Assassinations! Small poodles as hors d'oeuvres!
The Murder by Numbers II 'rules' will be announced next cycle. However, we
invite all managers, from all corners of Alastari, to come to Aruak City and take
part...in one way or another. Help defend the honor of a long heralded haven for the
pure, or join the forces of change in their siege of the ice-cream and cake
stronghold of the Dukes of Nerf-Dueling!
This exercise is not for either the faint of heart or the weak willed. Blood
will flow, brains will leak, and beer will be chugged. Either way, we welcome you
with open arms and gleaming blades.
This public service announcement has been brought to you by Frothingslosh Epic
Contests (tm), the number 86, and the letter 'K'.

* * * *The Third Annual Turf War* * * *
Yes, it's time again for alliances to go to war! TW3 will be held in DM 47
(North Fork) at a date to be specified later--right after Crip's Incomprehensible
Contest is over...but I'm sure everyone wants to get their teams there soon! Here
are the rules:
1. Each alliance must have a leader declare the arrival of his alliance. The leader
will be responsible for verifying any and all teams/managers who declare to the
alliance he/she is leading.
2. Each manager, team declaring for the contest must have approval of the leader,
donate one Roll-up Certificate ($5) to the prize pot (send it to me by diplo, by
snail, or a note to customer service), and declare his/her team by diplo, p-ad or
snail.
3. Each team may declare one warrior as champion. All points scored by a champ are
double!
4. Prizes are as follows (mostly...there WILL be some things added as the prize pot
grows with entry donations--this list is not final!)
* Highest scoring alliance -- Rename Arena 47 for a period of 6 months, one half
of the total prize pot donated; roll-up certs.
* The Alliance with the most returns from the DA will get to re-name the DA
monsters for a period of 6 months.
* The alliance with the most warriors listed as style masters will get to pick
the Alastari city/arena to host the next Grand Tournament.
* The warrior with the most front page honors/awards will have the Arenamaster
named after him for a period of 6 months.
* The Alliance with the most front page Honors/Awards will have the honor of
picking the *slow* arena to host the Fifth Annual Turf War.
* The team with the most listings as Style Master will find out the favorites of
one of their warriors.
* The warrior with the most listings as Style Master will fight at my expense
for five turns (I will transfer to the manager's account).
* The Alliance with the most kills will be able to re-name the stand-in warriors
for a period of 6 months.
* The warrior that scores the most total points will fight at my expense for 5
turns (I will transfer $7.50 to the manager's account).
* The team that scores the most total points will receive an extra share of
roll-up certs from the prize pot.
There may be more categories to come, and the prize pot still has to be
divided...I'm open to category/prize ideas--and further donations to the prize pot.
The contest will run for *TEN* turns; prizes will be awarded at the end of the
11th turn.
Scoring will be as follows:
* 5 points per fight, doubled for each of the following conditions met:
-- Two Alliance -- Champion
-- Challenge -- Two Champions
-- Bloodfeud -- Challenger losing
-- Kill
(Note: DA losses are exempt, but DA wins will be *tripled*!!! Ex: Happy
Slasher goes to the DA and dies, no points are lost. If he wins, his team scores 60
points! If he was a champ, he scores 120 points!)
Use the following chart to calculate scores:
Conditions Met: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Points Per Fight: 5 10 20 40 80 160 320 640
* Awards/Honors and Style Masters will each be awarded points also. Find the total
number of each (do note add Awards and Style Masters together) and consult the graph
below. Champs that score an award or style master count as two.
1 -- 5 7 -- 320
2 -- 10 8 -- 640
3 -- 20 9 -- 1280
4 -- 40 10 -- 2560
5 -- 80 11 -- 5280
6 -- 100 (x2 for each extra)
Note -- These categories *count as "triple"*--they will be figured for each team,
*AND* again for each alliance *as well as* for each warrior!
* Each and every mention in the Spy Report is worth 5 points...period.
* TVs will be scored on the same scale as Awards/Style Masters, but the total points
will be x10. TC's will be scored as TV's, but x10 more.
Number of TV/TC's Points Scored (TV/TC)
1 50/ 500
2 100/1000
3 200/2000
4 400/4000
+ x2/ x2 (for each extra)
Each alliance will start with 5000 points, scores for *fights* will be added to
the winner's total *AND* deducted from the losers.
Come one and all, defend your turf and the honor of your alliance...or your
own!

Assurnasirbanipal invites you to Talcama to participate in the third BATTLE
ROYAL contest. It is a Delarquan contest so brutal that even some of Talcama's most
notable managers will refuse to participate. The rules are simpler than any other
contest: You may not avoid any other contest team. There are no silly rules for who
can and can't compete. Any team in Talcama is eligible to compete. The scoring is
also quite simple (+1 for a win, +1 for a kill (+1 for the win), -1 for a loss) and
the first team to reach 25 points is the winner.
Scoring will be live--the results for the turn posted in the newsletter. The
winner will be able to fight their contest team in Talcama for free for 6 months but
more importantly will win a contest against some of the best managers who play the
game in one of the hardest contests in the game.
First turn for BATTLE ROYAL 3 is Talcama Turn 465, which is due August 30.
19 August 2003
Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari),
no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening.
While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City.
Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all
gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they
had masks, who cares.
Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in
Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by
those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the
same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many
years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by
pests.
Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own
little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except
to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you
choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs.
Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed.
Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents
will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target
those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home.
So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous
Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and
bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different.
