SPY REPORT
Welcome DWES EG. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Bein' on top is great while
it lasts, WASTED YOUTH. But how many friends do you have now? Who can explain it?
Not you, not me, not 040908T's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from
44th to 5th. You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge...
12/23/06D moved up 12 places, to 9th. Who can explain it? Not you, not me, not
072707L's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 29th to 10th. You
know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge... VENETIAN II moved

06-5's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 32nd to 13th. You know

after watching them shoot up the ranks from 56th to 17th. You know what they say
about the herd of lions who studied a judge... CRIMINALS moved up 20 places, to
18th. Who can explain it? Not you, not me, not KAOS' opponents, after watching them
shoot up the ranks from 57th to 19th. Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled,
tough opponents. Well don't look at I'M FANTASY IV, cause they dropped by 17. You
know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge... MEDAL OF HONOR F2
moved up 35 places, to 29th. Ever take one of those association tests? You know, he

H7! Who can explain it? Not you, not me, not MEDAL OF HONOR A9's opponents, after
watching them shoot up the ranks from 70th to 32nd. KELLUMBOS KIDS 07-9 bit the big
one as they could not win. They dropped from 10th down to 46th! Are you guy giving
lessons or what? Ever take one of those association tests? You know, he says black,
you say white. Water-Lake, Sky-Blue. Try this: Flop. KELLUMBO'S KIDS BM15!
Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled, tough opponents. Well don't look at
KELLUMBOS KIDS AC, cause they dropped by 34. You know what they say about the herd
of lions who studied a judge... 120507F moved up 18 places, to 49th. Who can
explain it? Not you, not me, not SMOKIN''s opponents, after watching them shoot up
the ranks from 68th to 50th. SUPE FORCES A206 bit the big one as they could not win.
They dropped from 18th down to 51st! Are you guy giving lessons or what? You know

moved up 13 places, to 53rd. Ever take one of those association tests? You know, he

FURRY FURY bit the big one as they could not win. They dropped from 22nd down to
55th! Are you guy giving lessons or what? Who can explain it? Not you, not me, not
SATAN'S SUPERMARKET's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 71st to
56th. Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled, tough opponents. Well don't

one of those association tests? You know, he says black, you say white. Water-Lake,

SUPERIOR FORCES 5704 moved up 20 places, to 61st. SUPERIOR FORCES 5703 bit the big
one as they could not win. They dropped from 47th down to 62nd! Are you guy giving
lessons or what? Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled, tough opponents.

association tests? You know, he says black, you say white. Water-Lake, Sky-Blue.
Try this: Flop. KAOS FURY! DUNGEON CELL 97 bit the big one as they could not win.
They dropped from 55th down to 68th! Are you guy giving lessons or what? Looking
for a good fight, confident, skilled, tough opponents. Well don't look at 011808B,
cause they dropped by 18. KAOS III bit the big one as they could not win. They
dropped from 63rd down to 76th! Are you guy giving lessons or what? Ever take one
of those association tests? You know, he says black, you say white. Water-Lake,
Sky-Blue. Try this: Flop. MEDAL OF HONOR G5! MEDAL OF HONOR F5 bit the big one as
they could not win. They dropped from 65th down to 86th! Are you guy giving lessons
or what? What's with PRISONER R02? He actually beat KELLUMBO'S KIDS 50's BRADACK,
and walked away with 23 more points from the fight. Major screwup at MEDAL OF HONOR
G5. MAX THOMPSON lost 12 points to BRILLIANT. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe
MAX THOMPSON will provide more easy wins... Try as he might, MANIC MOTTO wasn't good
enough at persuading PRISONER 0469 to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...
Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is
looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
DUNGEON CELL 23. Management must be dealin', as the boys at KELLUMBO'S K 06-73 ain't
reelin'! DUNGEON CELL 23's mad! What do people see in PRISONER 0484? His 8-20-1?
DUNGEON CELL 97 ain't talkin', but he's got 55 points. I hate going to the effort of
writing about the kind of fights that DAWN gets in. It fights people like JOE MANN,
13 points below. I thought DAWN showed great skill and promise when it overcame JOE
MANN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Yeah, yeah, DESMOND DOSS killed DUODENUM, who was
"too young to die." Well, it was a fighter, and that's what you have to face.
MALICIOUSMISCHIEF, with his forgettable 6-9-0, was killed by JABBER HOGAN in a
forgettable match. WASTED YOUTH didn't seem to mind very much. We all knew it had
to happen sooner or later. A warrior can't stick around with a 1-8-0, and GEMS
easily took care of DEEPEST EXHALE. FIGMENT's family knows what's wot, after seeing
the response from YOUR IMAGINATION! How long have I been here? I got people to see,
places to go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. Are you
as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Greetings All -- This is Vincent Michaels, "the Rake", mgr. of the Stormbringers out
of DM 33 Niatoli Island, back after a relatively long layoff. I come back to my
arena to find only two other teams there. Terrible! I'm calling on all you managers
out there who have inactive teams in Niatoli to put them back in the game. Also,
anyone else who wants to come check out our little island are welcome. Good food and
a lot of good gambling, and you will have a chance to smack around Gen. GirlPants and
his band of Ravaged Queens. Great fun. Come one, come all!

Players of Duel 2:
RSI wants to try, in a few arenas, a system that rewards role-play and general arena
involvement. Our thoughts at this time are as follows, and feedback is earnestly
solicited:
1. What to reward.
a. Spotlights--they don't have to be involved and lengthy storylines, and in fact,
my own inclination is to say: anything game related and original (i,e,, not a
reprint), maybe set a minimum length. I use TOGS here as my model--half a column as
formatted for the newsletter, and we don't judge the quality of the writing (so long
as the editor isn't grossed out), just the intent to make a positive contribution.
b. A dm column where one is "due." Again, no judgment on quality of writing, should
be dm-related, and I would say (this is just me) a minimum length of maybe five
lines.
c. Personals. More than just "you suck," or "good fight." How much more doesn't
really concern me, and quality, other than "not offensive to the editor," should not
be an issue. We don't want to encourage participation and then muzzle it.
d. It has been suggested that a reward point or two be offered for running a full
team. We could include this, but my own inclination would be to say that there would
be no points for this, but that those who don't make a clear effort on this
(accidents happen, so maybe something like "when the three-turn total of fights is
below twelve"?) aren't eligible for points on any turn until they get it back up to a
full team.
2. How to reward it.
a. We've been thinking nebulously about some kind of point system, obviously, as an
example, say 3 points for a spotlight, 2 for a column, 1 for personals, more points
here for what takes more effort, but some points for any effort. This is in no way
final! But some way to keep track of who is contributing and how much, and as non-
subjective as possible; this would be noted as each newsletter would be proofed. A
way to clearly identify who's sending in what would help, but I can work it out by
referring to the warrior listings if I have to.
b. But, assuming a point system, do the rewards, whatever they end up being, go to
the player who achieves a certain point total? Is this calculated per turn, or as a
running total over as many turns as it takes to reach that point? Or to the player
with the highest total on any given turn? What about ties?
c. What do the points get the player? The current thought is X points gets a free
fight, probably replacing the "Popularity Leader's" free fight in the relevant arena.
That suggests only one player getting a role-play free fight on any given turn. Is
this enough to encourage the newsletter participation we're hoping for? Should we
convert "This Week's Favorite" to a role-play free fight also? Or handle rewards in
some other way entirely?
3. Where it happens.
The current thought is, try it in four arenas: one in each region, and one slow
arena. Who picks the arenas in question? I'd be inclined to rule out those that are
doing fairly well already (Ardivent, Sunset, Lapur; Arkers, Morya, North Fork), but
is that wise? Or even fair? Darned if I know. Places where it is NOT currently
intended to happen: Transfer arenas. Maybe rule out the no-tourney arenas as
current candidates, too?
If this seems to work well enough to be worth the effort, should we consider
extending it to more, eventually to all non-transfer, arenas?
This is not a "someday down the line we might" concept. We want to do this, and
SOON. Your feedback would be appreciated, for, against, changes, anything. You can
email me directly at jputney zianet com (make sure it says DM in the subject line) or
send a diplo to scribe, any arena.
the Scribe
P.S. Staff members not to be eligible for role-playing free fights.

The Battle Royal V is upon us! Come join one of the original contests that has had
some of the games best managers involved in the past. DM 18, Talcama, some consider
it to be the crown jewel of the Delarq cities is where this contest will take place.
The Battle Royal is intended to be a play as you want, play what you want Delarquan
style contest with very few rules. While I'd love to say, "NO AVOIDING" is the only
rule (and that wouldn't be too far off), I must spell out situations that can and
have occurred and require additional clarification.
The advantages of this format:
1) Simple.
2) No penalty for DAs.
3) No restrictions on warriors entered into the contest (baggers, TC mods, etc all
welcome)
4) No penalty for not fighting.
5) It isn't a race where 21 wit and favorite learn determine the victor.
6) Losing a warrior (or even your whole team) doesn't eliminate you from contention.
7) It is possible to overcome almost any deficit. And this has been proven, with
managers making huge point swings in short periods of time!
8) It is a contest designed to show manager skill rather than warrior ability.
There are a few disadvantages:
1) There is no set end. It is possible for this contest to go on indefinitely. In
practice, this format has worked very nicely in the past and I expect it will
continue to work well.
2) You cannot avoid (But that is part of the fun and the head to head nature of this
contest requires this rule.)
3) It encourages bloodshed.
4) Baggers and experienced warriors have an advantage over new warriors.
Battle Royal Rules:
- Any team in Talcama is eligible to participate. There are no restrictions on
warriors (baggers, TC prize modified, etc). However, any warrior that fights for
your team is considered in the BR.
- Teams may not avoid any other team within the contest. (Note that you may avoid
teams outside the contest but you do so at your own risk.) Avoiding a team on the
turn they enter the Battle Royal is not considered against the rules (since you
couldn't know the team wasn't part of the BR). The suggestion is not to avoid at
all. Assur (the contest moderator) gets an avoid report every turn and will catch
people avoiding!
- Managers may only enter a single team in the contest.
- Any manager with more than one team in Talcama may not challenge any other contest
warrior with their non contest team(s). The intention is that no advantage can be
gained by having multiple teams in the arena.
****Failure to comply with the above rules***
1st offense: Disqualification from the prize, but you may still participate.
2nd offense: Warning.
3rd offense: Removal from Battle Royal.
- If a manager decides to switch teams, his score will start back at 0. This is to
prevent a manager from sweeping the contest with several teams of sandbaggers. Can a
manager use this clause to go from a negative score to zero? Yes. I realize this is
sort of cheating, but I'd rather have a manager start over with a new team than drop
out of the contest. Even so, they have to start at 0 and must gain 25 points.
- If your warrior loses a contest fight because of an input error and this error is
verified by RSI, you will have a point added to your score. The head to head records
will remain the same and any points gained by another manager will remain on that
manager's record.
- As soon as you are announced in the newsletter, you are officially entered into the
Battle Royal. Scoring begins on that turn! You are expected to follow the rules
that turn and every turn following. Your team may enter any time they wish during
the course of the Battle Royal.
- If you are exiting the Battle Royal, you are not removed until the turn after your
intention is published. You are asked to follow the rules for that turn (either
through not avoiding or not running your warriors).
Scoring:
- Scoring begins the turn your team declares participation.
- Scoring continues through the turn your team withdraws.
- Score is calculated by: Wins+Kills-Lossses.
- Only fights with other B.R. participannts count towards your score, but they count
whether they are challenges or random match-ups.
- First Manager to 25 points wins!
- In event of tie, B.R. continues until one team that has reached 25 points is ahead
of all other participants.
Disputes:
- The attempt has been made to make these rules as complete and bulletproof as
possible, but Tripwire will resolve any disputes as fairly as he is capable.
Prizes:
For the Winner:
6 Months Free Play in Talcama for the winning team (doesn't include tourneys)!
One +1 Bonus Potion (up to max for warrior, to be used on a warrior in DM 18)!
One Limited Damage Bump Potion (one time use, up to max for stats, used on DM 18
warrior)!
One Minor Stat Switch Prize (up to 2 points can be moved from one stat to another
stat on a new rollup in DM 18, before adding 14 points. This prize can be used up to
3 months from the contest end. Both points must be used in the same place (can't
take one from a speed and one from deftness and add one to wit and will)).
One Favorites Knowledge Potion (to be used on a 5+ FE warrior in DM 18).
Rename One Dark Arena Creature in DM 18, which will be renamed for 6 Months or until
the Ladies decide to return it to the previous name.
All potions renaming prizes must be used within 2 turns of the end of the contest.
Endurance Award (available to all participants):
One +1 Bonus Potion (up to max for warrior, to be used on a warrior in DM 18).
To qualify for the Endurance Award you must participate in 90% of the total fights
possible over the course of the BR. If you don't have time to make it into the BR by
the first turn, there will be a two turn window before the counter will start for new
teams. The fights do not have to be BR point scoring fights, just 90% of the total
possible participation over the course of the contest! So, if the contest runs 26
turns, there are 130 fights possible. Your team must have 117 fights during those 26
turns to be eligible.
All prizes/potions subject to RSI's interpretation of how they are used/implemented.
RSI said the faves knowledge must be used on an Inits warrior or higher and set at
5FE or more.

Daydream Believer
You once thought of me,
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be...
It's true. I'm gone. I've punched my ticket to Immortality and I'm off to the Isle.
I know a lot of you are wondering what it is about me that has made me so successful.
I wish I knew for sure. I think it has more to do with intangibles (knack) than it
does with design, bonuses and favorites. I'll let you decide.
Daydream Believer (PR) 17-14-4-17-7-8-17 Poor Endurance--Good Damage
I -- 8 (+1) R -- 13 A -- 14 (+4) P -- 14 (+4) Df - 8 Dc - 6 (+3)
I know what you're thinking, "WTF, that guy looks like a 98 lb weakling!" Sigh...I
prefer to think my physical characteristics are ideally suited for a finesse style.
As for my bases, I know they aren't much to look at. After all, I am a PR. I'm
fortunate to be blessed where I need it the most--attack and parry.
Okay, so I've got nice bases with bonuses in the right spots. What about favorites?
Did I know them in advance or did I change them? The answer is no, I had no idea
what they were for sure until I recieved my graduation announcement. I would be
happy to tell you what my favorites are but I don't think my clone, Jumpinjack Flash,
would be very happy with me if I did. Let's just say that from the moment I stepped
on the sands as a Rookie I used the same strategy in EVERY fight. The only thing I
ever changed was armor (early on vs. TP's) and attack/defend locations. That should
give those of you who have faced me more than once something to think about.
You may be interested to know that I am all natural. I haven't had a prize of any
type used on me. I'm a freak of nature. It just goes to show you never know when a
guy like me will walk into your guildhouse looking for work as a gladiator. It's up
to you to spot the potential and nuture it along.
I'm going to list my tourney results and records versus each style. It isn't meant
to be a brag--I just thought you might find it interesting and a lot easier than
looking it up yourself. Enjoy!

As you can see, the only style I had trouble with is the ABs. I think that has more
to do with which ABs I fought rather than the style as a whole. I was 3-1 vs ABs
early on (Rookies-Champs) and 4-10 in Challengers. I was 1-5 vs Marv, 0-1 vs Marv Jr
and 0-3 vs Soulsnare. I am going to make an educated guess and assume they all had
skills or prizes added to them to make them competetive at the Challenger level where
so few ABs are. I could be wrong, though I doubt it.
See you on the Isle,
Daydream Believer
