DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings to all the warriors & managers of this arena, which had its perfectly fine
name changed to the location of some muggle stadium!
I believe I am the third member of Slytherin House to capture the Duelmastership
here. My memory isn't too good, but I seem to remember that fine Tom Riddle chap and
my partner in thuggery, Vincent Crabbe, both being Duelmaster. Draco is always
telling me how stupid I am, and now with not being able to remember for sure, I think
he might be right. He usually is. Just before the fights in the arena he was
telling me that even me, the stupidest and dumbest of our lot was still a pureblood
warrior and that I could certainly be Duelmaster instead of one of you mugbloods.
When I asked him why he wasn't Duelmaster yet he said it was because he did not want
all the responsibilities that came with the title, and that besides it would
interfere with his grand scheme. Whatever that is. But apparently it does involve
me getting invited to an even better school he calls Lirin Kiv on something known as
the Isle of the Eye. So hopefully I can do what he wants and live to get my invite.
He told me the only question is if I have enough skill to get invited, since while I
have a Master rating in Parry, the only other rating I have is in an area deemed
unimportant for my fighting style, Decise. I don't think it is unimportant since it
allows me to surprise people when they challenge me. It is always fun to see their
jaws drop when they settle in for a long fight and I come out swinging fast and hard.
But that is just one of the little things that make me, the lowest of the Slytherins,
better than the rest of you.
Your Better,
Gregory Goyle
SPY REPORT
Good day, in CHAVEZ RAVINE a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets
poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. PARTY GEEKS stable has
parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up
to 8th place. Good work, guys! And let's see, RIOT ACT fought PANSY PARKINSON and
gained 16 points and contributed to INSIGNIFICANCE's 2-1-0. LORD TAYLOR has lost to
DONSTAN, falling 14 points, while helping make CORPS a 1-3-0 turn. And all eyes were
on LOUD DRUNK this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. CHAVEZ RAVINE
has a new victor! Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable
sources that The Crystal Wheel uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the CORPS
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on CHAVEZ RAVINE, what are you
afraid of? And avoiding CORPS more than any other team we find SLYTHERIN HOUSE.
CHAVEZ RAVINE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was SAND DANCERS' warrior TSIRELL. More fighters
challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! I don't know about you, but DRACO
MALFOY challenging down 18 points to SAND DANCERS' PELAK TEN ZORN, is not really
worthy of SLYTHERIN HOUSE. It pains me to see warriors take advantage of the system
like this. DRACO MALFOY bested PELAK TEN ZORN, as if it surprises anyone. ARM of
CORPS had better have a good reason for challenging down 11 points in a TV challenge
which he won. I thought ARM showed great skill and promise when he defeated
RONSEVAN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? I guess it was coming sooner or later, 1988 DODGERS has lost STEVE
SAX, and CHAVEZ RAVINE is bound to miss him. For a little while, at least. Now it
looks like TIM LEARY is gone, and forgotten too, now that 1988 DODGERS did not
revenge SLYTHERIN HOUSE's GREGORY GOYLE for killing TIM LEARY. A brave warrior does
not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.
Consider well.
I like this place, CHAVEZ RAVINE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in CHAVEZ RAVINE and
I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen
sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

TEN TURNS OF HELL:
The KLK Capture The Flag Competition
In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I
am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition. The competition will be
held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already).
:) We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep.
Rules:
-- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your
team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender).
-- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn
463 is the turn scoring will begin.
-- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many
flags as he can win.
-- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by
warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their
original team's lowest ranked warrior.
-- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that
turn.
-- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those
flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating
warrior.
-- Scoring as follows for each turn:
2 pts -- possession of your own team flag
1 pt -- possession any other flag
1 pt -- for each win
1 pt -- for each kill
1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter
-- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its
own entry.
-- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags.
-- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from
kills. (It's the Delarq way.)
-- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
(based on highest point totals)
Prizes: (what you've been waiting on)
1st -- 3 know favorites potions*
DA warrior named after winning manager
2nd -- 2 know favorites potions*
3rd -- 1 know favorites potion*
* These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used
on warriors with at least 4 FE.
How's that for paying out? (grin) Even if you think that it's all about the TC,
these prizes should be enough to draw you in. (You know who you are.)
I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans. Legion, Froths, and all the
others...this is your personal invite. Can you win? Can you survive 10 turns of
Hell in Jhans?
Note: Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible. Thanks
guys!
