DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Veni. Vidi. Vici. What else can I say but that? I am glad to be here.
Pikers rule. I rule. I have the greatest manager in the world. Life is sweet!
YOUR Duelmaster -- Dowd
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in JADE MOUNTAIN this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the
difference, as HOGWARTS EXPRESS is pushed out of top team by MANAGER MUSINGS, who
came from 2nd with a 5-0-1 this turn. And let's see, DONAL PINES fought SNAPE and
gained 21 points and contributed to SAND DANCERS' 1-3-0. SNAPE has lost to DONAL
PINES, falling 16 points, while helping make HOGWARTS EXPRESS a 1-2-0 turn. This
turn DOWD challenged WORMTAIL in what was JADE MOUNTAIN's Title bout. The attempts
to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and DOWD remains JADE MOUNTAIN's top warrior
for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable
sources that The Green Axe uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. SAND DANCERS has cause to stand tall,
as they were JADE MOUNTAIN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And guess who avoided SAND DANCERS stable the most? Believe it or not, it
was MANAGER MUSINGS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was
HOGWARTS EXPRESS' warrior WORMTAIL. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
I like this place, JADE MOUNTAIN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in JADE MOUNTAIN, but never good
to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there
could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great
14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:
The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
