DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Retribution, I think you're wrong to suppose that I blame you for anything. The
victor does not hand out blame! Rather the reverse, and I offer you my thanks for
the chance to win this one and re-take the title. Always a useful thing to have, a
title. It lets people know you're important. *I* am important. Of course, I always
knew this, but now it's public knowledge. I like that.
Tsirell
SPY REPORT
Hail CHAVEZ RAVINE! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. BROTHERHOOD stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 3 space move up
the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
LOVE fought KINLO TEN ZORN and gained 21 points and contributed to LORDS OF VIRTUE's
1-0-0. KINLO TEN ZORN has lost to LOVE, falling 8 points, while helping make SAND
DANCERS a 2-3-0 turn. And not without some honor, RETRIBUTION now claims the title
and throne of Duelmaster of CHAVEZ RAVINE. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I
hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Crystal Wheel until
they win. Maybe?
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 PARTY GEEKS
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on CHAVEZ RAVINE, what are you
afraid of? And guess who avoided PARTY GEEKS stable the most? Believe it or not, it
was BROTHERHOOD. Anyone surprised?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that CHAVEZ RAVINE has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

Table Dansher -- Hey, can I help it if the table collapshesh? I'm bigger than you
are. Tablesh aren't made for me to shtand on. And ash for danshing...no way. But
it wash fun while it lashted. We should party more often. -- Ronshevan
This "Dangerous Bon Lokar" guy? He's actually an old softie. At least, he's a
softie if you pound on him for a while. Softens him up like anything. -- Jaego Klee
Huh, your average Rirorni isn't much good at this arena stuff, is he? -- Kinlo ten
Zorn
Dobby -- Drat. I don't know how it stands with you, but the Commission really messed
up with me. You'd think that at six-foot-eight they might have just a little CLUE
that I'm Shewish? But can they SAY so? No, of course not! -- Korba Klee
P.S. Maybe I'm only half Shewish.
P.P.S. But I'm really, really trustworthy.
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].
One (1) Gift Cert will be awarded to the manager(s) whose warrior(s) graduate on
T-500.
One (1) Gift Cert will be awarded to the manager(s) whose warrior(s) receive
their graduation announcement on T-500.
One (1) Gift Cert will be awarded to the manager(s) whose warrior(s) are listed
in the Top Warrior Of Each Style newsletter announcement on T-500.

One (1) Gift Cert will be awarded to the manager whose stable is listed as the

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.
