DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings,
I am your Duelmaster, Stones!
I guess you could say that I am in a zone! You know that feeling that you get when you
step out onto the sands and just know you are going to tear it up? Well, maybe Den
doesn't know that feeling! I totally assassinated Yosha and then destroyed Ritesh in
the bloodfeud. Vlad, you might want to rethink the bloodfeud! In fact, the only
"warriors" I don't want to face, are those TP's below me, on their challenge. The rest
of you, good luck!
I actually think that since Otto's Diner shut down and I've been eating healthier, I
feel great, almost indestructable!
I will see you all next time!
-- Stones
SPY REPORT
Welcome back to The Spire! Did you miss me? Wait! That is a ridiculous
question! Of course, you missed me and realized how empty your life is when I am not
here to do the spy reports for our awesome arena! I'll try to be here as much as I
can, but even greats like myself need a break from time to time. I mean, think about
how exhausting it is to deal with you guys every few weeks. It is a burden, but one
that I bear with grace and humility, so feel free to praise me! Okay, so let's jump
into the arena action for today, I might need a nap after this to recover.
Stones wrote a column. He bragged a bit, then he lost the throne. Maybe if he
was humble like me (and great), he wouldn't be eating crow this afternoon. He fought
Curious Aggression, who is a former Duelmaster, but he is back!! Well, he is back for
a very brief stint on the throne. CA got his invitation, so he'll be leaving us after
the next turn. Until then, congratulations are in order to Curious Aggression, which
is managed by Den. Let's have a column next turn from our Duelmaster and newest Lord
Protector!?!?
Okay, let's get a better look at this turn's action with a handy-dandy stat
listing and turn 377 break down!
Total Fights: 33
Deaths: 5 (1 via Dark Arena)
Blood Feuds: 1 (1-0 for the challenger)
Challenge Fights: 10 (3-7-0-1 for the challengers)
Largest Up Challenge: 54 POINTS!!!! CURIOUS AGGRESSION (81-3357) (24-13-0,95)
of BIG LAKE SOLUTION challenged STONES (81-3431) (15-10-1,149) of CULT OF
BACCHUS. CURIOUS AGGRESSION slimly won victory over STONES in a 3 minute
Challenge Title match.
Largest Down Challenge: 0 - This is the first turn there were no down challenges
since I have started noted them in the Spy Report. Are you getting soft or lazy?
Days Since Last Spy Reporter Accident: 0
The most avoided team today is Pray the Gods. Yeah, we have seen them before on
our list. What we have not seen is the avoiding team. Pray the Gods were mostly
avoided by Clan Longbeard. I was shocked too! The most challenged warrior is Raymond
Carver of Literate Loons. Raymond got a challenge from the lower-ranked, but more
experienced Fipple. It took 4-minutes, but Fipple was able to overcome RC. As noted
above, 5 warriors died this turn. A Persistent Beggar learned that persistence
doesn't always pay off, along with a few other inexperienced warriors. Condolences to
those that lost warriors on the sands today.
We were missing some of our regulars today. Mirkwood Orcs and Pray the Gods were
inactive, along with Inebriation and Madness. I didn't include Warmasters because I
feel like their single fighter the last cycle was a mix-up with the paperwork at the
Commission offices. It happens! Did the tournament get in the way of our other
regulars making it? I think that would be ironic if it is true. Oh well, come back
and join us next turn, slackers!!
Let's wrap all of this up by welcoming two new teams to our fine establishment -
Alt Pulp and Zoology! Make yourselves at home and be sure to introduce yourselves to
the arena. You'll find most of folk friendly around here and the rest . . . well, you
can form your own opinions. I know he can't read it, but I also want to congratulate
Tomahawk on making it to the Isle. The Commission doesn't let me draw pictures in
crayon, so someone needs to read that to him. I'll see you bums next turn!

Broken Blade -- Luck was on my side this time. -- Xobias
Disvenya -- My first time trying that weapon and I didn't do to bad. -- Ulrich
Trent -- Terrible match-up for you. Someone in the commission really doesn't like you.
Tho you did get some decent training. -- Uhkant
Aeglos -- What a difference 2 weeks makes. -- Zagrid
David Paulson -- You can call me Big Cat. -- Zehdea
Welcome back Vanek and the Warmasters! -- Visionist and Clan Longbeard
Congrats to Crux Gemmata on your invite to the Isle. -- Clan Longbeard
Chad -- Come on man, Philthy did not attend OHS! It is obvious his intellect is that
of a SCF graduate. While a great member of the alliance, he cannot hold a spot in the
OHS. I am glad to see Mr Couderay in action once again and this time against grown-
ups instead of throwing children from a swim raft. Also, just a reminder, you must
fight your entire team each week and cannot intentionally sit warriors to avoid a
bloodfeud, so Wichelman must be on the sands next turn. -- Den
Eli -- Yeah, send them all to the DA, best course of action, and then move to a land
far from here. It would be best for all of us. -- Den
Boss Rat -- Just a reminder, I am the boss around here, regardless of your rat breath.
-- Den
D'Mobster -- Haha, you only have four wins in the last three turns, that is not very
good. I'm doing way better than you. Also, just a piece of information for you,
there are in fact 46 different ways to skin a cat. - Den
