DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm back! After back to back random matches with Larry Bird and trading the
Duelmasters Title like a hot potato, I have to say, I much enjoy the view from the
top. That 1 minute fiasco two turns ago was rectified with me torturing Larry in a 12
minute staredown. Not much else to say except the boss was trying out some comic
routines on us the other day. He claims it was his birthday to which we just stood and
gave him blank stares. He was not amused. Hey, stop stealing my Duelmasters purse and
I'll sing and dance for you. The boss has no sense of humor. LOL
Signing off for now -- Narsil
SPY REPORT
You didn't ask for it, but I'm going to give it to you anyway! Welcome back to The
Spire and the best spy reporter in the world. Okay, maybe not the world. The best spy
reporter in Alastari. Umm, yeah, that is a bit much too. The best spy reporter in
Shadowspire. It isn't important that I'm currently the only spy reporter in The Spire.
So, yeah, take that! There were fights and other things that took place! Apparently,
it is my job to give you the highlights. A salt bath after running through a briar
patch sounds more appealing, but I gotta make a living somehow! Let's get to it.
Narsil has shown an ability to get on the throne, but he hasn't really displayed that
much skill in keeping the throne. He took it way back on turn 378 and held it for 2
turns. He then lost it and wasn't able to get back until 392. He then held until
turn 394 when Larry Bird knocked him off, only to take it back the last turn. Narsil
isn't complaining much. If he lives, he is in the Shadowspire Hall of Fame. If he
doesn't, he'll make a cool trivia question at the taverns. BUT, what did we have
happen today? Narsil was able to hold onto the throne once again. He is now
comfortably in superstar territory, having held the throne 6 times. There is little
else to accomplish for Narsil except for an invitation to the Isle at this point.
Congrats to Narsil and his manager Boss Orc.
Mirkwood Orcs are our most avoided team today. This is a change from the last several
rounds. They were mostly avoided by Clan Longbeard. Buyica, who received a down
challenge of 27 points, is our most challenged warrior. I get the feeling that
DMobster doesn't pay much attention to his Shadowspire stable. He is a frequent
target of Weirdo's down challenges. Some managers do not bother looking at their
warriors until they are immortal.
And now, By the Numbers:
Fights: 39 (-4 from last turn)
Dark Arena Deaths: 5
Non-DA Deaths: 2
Bloodfeuds: 2 (1-1-1 for the avengers)
Challenges: 12 (5-7 for the challengers)
Largest Up Challenge: +25 points - DURAN... (81-3699) (0-2-0,2) of THE NEW WAVE
challenged SHELENA (81-1601) (4-1-0,27) of HIGH ORDER. DURAN... was outwaited by
SHELENA in an unpopular 8-minute Challenge bout.
Largest Down Challenge: -38 points - DEEP SIX (81-3597) (15-2-2,121) of KILL 'EM
ALL challenged THE LIMPER (81-3516) (14-18-0,83) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION. DEEP SIX
viciously subdued THE LIMPER in a popular 2-minute Challenge competition.
I have to say that the WOW match of the cycle came when Velina bloodfeuded Ricky
Schmidt. Ricky had been on a tear with the killing of Stormcaller and Steinar the
previous two turns. Velina decided to take up the cause of vengeance on behalf of her
teammate Steinar. To say she was successful would be an understatement. Velina
killed Ricky Schmidt, so the feud cycle will continue next turn. It will just be
traveling in a different direction. OHS Alumni does have Sarah Linder up in the
rankings, but is Chad willing to send her after Velina?
I will close with a farewell to Larry Bird. You're no Michael Jordan, but it was fun
to watch you move through the arena. Congrats on immortality. No new graduations
this turn, but we have a few that have caught the attention of the Commission. Come
back next turn to see if Narsil can hold onto the throne. There were a lot of
warriors sent to the Dark Arena, so I expect an influx of the new blood next turn. It
should be a blast! Come back and see for yourselves!
