SAND DANCERS had cause to celebrate, after JAEGO KLEE got 23 points by beating DANGEROUS BON LOKAR. RONSEVAN certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to TABLE DANCER and losing 9 points in the process! In CHAVEZ RAVINE, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, TSIRELL. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in CORPS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, BROTHERHOOD scurried away from CORPS. Oh, the shame! Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee. All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TSIRELL 3793 25 10 1 100 SAND DANCERS (251) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ARM 3874 9 2 1 104 CORPS (346) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RETRIBUTION 2982 10 6 1 90 BROTHERHOOD (406) -AULDRYMBREI 3264 10 3 0 81 GURTARG'S AXES (447) TEASE 3881 7 3 2 73 PARTY GEEKS (431) -PANSY PARKINSON 3814 13 11 1 69 SLYTHERIN HOUSE (474) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JAEGO KLEE 3948 4 4 0 50 SAND DANCERS (251) -ADALIUS 3513 8 7 1 46 GURTARG'S AXES (447) TABLE DANCER 3917 7 2 1 46 PARTY GEEKS (431) -DARTH DECLAWED 3420 7 3 0 46 ARENA FELINES (461) -LUCIUS MALFOY 3946 4 0 0 45 SLYTHERIN HOUSE (474) -GLAERIKIM 3515 8 5 0 43 GURTARG'S AXES (447) RONSEVAN 3866 7 17 0 38 SAND DANCERS (251) -DACIRYAS 3514 7 5 2 36 GURTARG'S AXES (447) -CAT STEVENS 3363 6 4 0 36 ARENA FELINES (461) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ABLAER BLYTH 3657 5 3 0 33 GURTARG'S AXES (447) -SAND CAPPER 3362 5 5 0 30 ARENA FELINES (461) -FEROCIOUS FELINE 3366 5 5 0 28 ARENA FELINES (461) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DANCING FOOL 3385 1 2 0 19 PARTY GEEKS (431) -POP! 3003 1 0 1 14 BROTHERHOOD (406) -KRAKEL 3002 1 0 1 14 BROTHERHOOD (406) KINLO TEN ZORN 3961 1 1 0 13 SAND DANCERS (251) -FNB 3004 1 0 0 13 BROTHERHOOD (406) -SNAP 3001 1 0 0 12 BROTHERHOOD (406) -POLE CAT 3734 1 0 0 10 ARENA FELINES (461) DOBBY 3959 1 0 0 10 SLYTHERIN HOUSE (474) -I.J.

I wasn't anywhere NEAR there, I didn't even KNOW about it till days later! -- Tsirell the wrongly accused Traveling Tinker, eh? Well, nothing like an easy win as I leave. Not that I'm going to the Isle. As if! I've got my eye on a little place down the river a few miles, where I can fish and drink and no distractions, nobody coming in and pounding on me for not practicing. The easy life. I figure I've earned it. -- Donstan Table Dancer -- You're more fun to watch on a table. It's the, ah, view from below, as you might say, that really makes my socks roll up and down. So to speak. -- Ronsevan Shameless Beggar? That's like talking about, oh, wet rivers, flaming fires, or (sigh) dumb gladiators. Tautological, that's the word I want. If he had shame, he'd find a job instead of begging, right? -- Jaego Klee Pole Cat -- Climb down off your pole, big boy, and I'll show you what's what. -- Kinlo ten Zorn Sir Chester -- Hoping to see you here as time goes on. A little new blood improves every arena. -- Li Dan, Sand Dancers 22 October 2004 Youngblood's Three and Out Contest I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before, here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules (like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later). 1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only. 2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.) 3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts. 4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are eliminated. 5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest. This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of the contest. 6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the contest. 7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is active in the contest. 8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the contest, no questions asked. 9. Challenges are legal, up or down. 10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that warrior, of course, is accounted the winner. 11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be awarded to the winners of the contest. <<<PRIZES>>> As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups will be determined when all are accumulated. Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
