'##/###' Avoid teams by their Team Id '-' Team did not fight this turn
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Snide Clemens has beauty rest? I'd never have guessed.
Sir Aglio was avoided by the Wild Hunt, and from what I hear, Sir Aglio should
be glad of that. Ski Mask got the most challenges, and yes, his ego is swelling,
which is amazing considering the size it was to begin with.
Thirty-eight fights, seven challenge matches (no tv), two deaths. Things are
getting something-or-other here, folks! The longest fight was a mere seven minutes.
They're not going to wake up the lions for a seven minute fight. Oh, yeah, didn't
you know the Commission has had a rush of exasperation to the head and threatened to
send out the lions if the fights run too long? They'll probably get over it, after
all, arranging to lhave lions handy would be work! But it's a sweet thought. Only
one standby fought, which is probably because of the rain. It messes up their
makeup. And it's been raining a LOT.
And with that stuff all said, here are the fights:
PUTZ'N ALONG (60-5437) (42-36-0,47) of JOKA MASHER! fought CROOKED HOOF (56-
3493) (24-14-0,59) of REDHORSE. PUTZ'N ALONG beat CROOKED HOOF in an exciting 3
minute competition. I know Crooked says it was his HORSE that actually had the bad
hoof, but when you see him fight, you gotta wonder.
AVALYNE WHYTE (11-3270) (17-15-1,78) of TUFT TUGGERS fought NUTCRACKER (38-4380)
(20-17-1,63) of ALL FINESSE. AVALYNE WHYTE vanquished NUTCRACKER in an action packed
1 minute one-sided bout. What a way to come out of retirement, eh?
SEGALLION SUNDANCER (11-4600) (20-18-1,79) of TUFT TUGGERS fought BROKEN TOE
(56-3683) (21-37-1,62) of REDHORSE. SEGALLION SUNDANCER was demolished by BROKEN TOE
in a 1 minute one-sided conflict. Little did you know that he broke his toe kicking
heiny.
ANIJIA ALARA (11-4675) (14-9-0,51) of MANIACAL TUFTS fought ALARIC (28-3787)
(16-7-0,55) of THE WARLORDS II. ANIJIA ALARA overcame ALARIC in an exciting 1 minute
fight. What is this, a contest of the As?
BRIARTHORN (12-5671) (17-9-1,69) of DARKMOON fought KI (31-165) (27-32-1,89) of
AVENGERS. BRIARTHORN was savagely defeated by KI in a 2 minute brutal struggle.
It's those briars. They'll get you every time.
MOOSE (56-3459) (15-16-0,51) of REDHORSE fought BAYLEFYRE (25-4373) (11-2-0,35)
of BRETHREN OF SIN. MOOSE was vanquished by BAYLEFYRE in an exciting 1 minute
mismatched fight. This was exciting? I would never have guessed.
KOOKABURRA (33-4151) (55-78-2,88) of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES fought GAZELLE (56-3701)
(19-11-0,37) of REDHORSE. KOOKABURRA overcame GAZELLE in a crowd pleasing 3 minute
match. Cookie crumbs everywhere, but that's nothing to the fur that flew. Er,
gazelles do have fur, you know. Or hair, anyway.
MAN O' WAR (15-4517) (29-17-1,88) of TRIPLE CROWN fought SPECTRUM (40-1666) (17-
14-4,34) of AS FAR AS SIAM. MAN O' WAR overpowered SPECTRUM in a 1 minute one-sided
bout. Chased Spectrum clear to Siam. Wherever that is.
PLACES THE LOTION... (98-909) (10-12-5,77) of ARCANE BEACH DAY fought ACE BAILEY
(47-4948) (14-15-0,68) of ROYAL FLUSH. PLACES THE LOTION... overpowered ACE BAILEY
in a popular 1 minute one-sided match. You gotta watch out for Places, he's a
slippery character.
EM (15-3737) (21-30-0,58) of LORDS OF DARKNESS fought FRED (65-5333) (23-10-
0,78) of MYSTERY MACHINE. EM was overcome by FRED in a 1 minute fight. I hate these
two. There isn't a lot of persiflage I can hang on names like those. The team names
aren't bad, I'll think about that angle for next time. But, of course, if they wrote
PERSONALS, it would help.
BLACK EYE (60-6163) (26-17-0,95) of JOKA MASHER! fought ING (41-3532) (14-10-
1,47) of UNEARTHLY PIMPS. BLACK EYE savagely defeated ING in a popular 3 minute
gruesome fight. And they say you can't win by a fist to the face? Ha!
FIENDISH GLEE (46-1553) (17-10-5,100) of CLEVER LINGO fought EVIL ELMO (99-1222)
(13-9-4,83) of TWISTED SESAME. FIENDISH GLEE viciously subdued EVIL ELMO in a crowd
pleasing 2 minute gruesome bout. I kinda like FG, though. That's a name I can work
with (in the absence of personals). Assuming I don't put off writing this spy report
till way late, which I did this time.
JOHN LONGSHORE (11-4197) (22-26-0,92) of TUFT TUGGERS fought HUMMINGBIRD (56-
3475) (22-21-0,74) of REDHORSE. JOHN LONGSHORE was savagely defeated by HUMMINGBIRD
in an action packed 2 minute duel. This was funny to watch. Well, picture it
yourself!
RUTHLESS (15-4591) (21-12-0,97) of TRIPLE CROWN fought ZLATINA ANGUELOVA (11-
4856) (22-21-1,88) of TUFT TUGGERS. RUTHLESS overpowered ZLATINA ANGUELOVA in a 2
minute uneven match. Nothing like being run over by a racehorse.
QUEEN AMAZONIA (12-4796) (30-38-1,125) of DARKMOON fought HEART (97-1096) (14-
18-4,101) of ORGANS ON THE SAND. QUEEN AMAZONIA overpowered HEART in a popular 1
minute uneven fight. I like it sliced, lightly breaded, and then pan-fried with
bacon and onions, myself.
R IS FOR REPUGNANT (99-1155) (15-9-4,132) of GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME fought RIFT (12-
3922) (26-14-1,147) of SPIRITUAL GIFT. R IS FOR REPUGNANT subdued RIFT in a popular
3 minute gruesome fight. And a battle of the Rs here.
KONGOL (7-4524) (35-30-2,112) of BLADES OF ICE fought SIR OCCO (10-5079) (27-19-
0,129) of SIR AGLIO. KONGOL was vanquished by SIR OCCO in a popular 1 minute
mismatched fray. Everyone knows that ice melts in a hot wind.
RYRELEE (59-478) (23-14-0,124) of HARE CONTROL fought PINK BEAR (36-5883) (34-
14-1,117) of LITTLE GIRLS LIKE.... RYRELEE viciously subdued PINK BEAR in a popular
6 minute gruesome match. But everybody else hates pink bears.
FEALOST (1-3916) (44-54-1,142) of MOSSRUNNERS fought AEDON (7-4295) (40-29-
1,128) of BLADES OF ICE. FEALOST was bested by AEDON in a popular 3 minute gory
contest. And was Fealost chilled by that icy blade? Tune in next cycle and see!
MASHER (60-4553) (53-49-3,174) of JOKA MASHER! fought FEAR (82-10416) (24-40-
1,139) of 4-LETTER ANXIETY. MASHER beat FEAR in a crowd pleasing 2 minute fight.
Many gladiators overcome fear. I like to see that.
BATTLESTONE (66-2980) (29-23-0,172) of FRAG 'EM ALL! fought MOUNTAIN GOAT (56-
3700) (26-28-3,111) of REDHORSE. BATTLESTONE demolished MOUNTAIN GOAT in a 1 minute
one-sided bout. Squashed him flat.
SPAZZ (33-6207) (49-47-0,165) of SNOTZI'S II fought HALLIE O'DENE (58-6018) (56-
75-0,151) of CIRQUE DU MASQUES. SPAZZ viciously subdued HALLIE O'DENE in a popular 2
minute brutal brawl. You realize that to attack an aimer with spazz is a horrible
thing to do?
TICKLES (9-3486) (52-73-1,169) of MY PETS fought KAIDEN (35-3108) (93-90-2,158)
of VIOLENT FEMS. TICKLES vanquished KAIDEN in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided
fray. Who would have thought that violent lady was ticklish?
EXILE (7-4618) (30-26-1,170) of BLADES OF ICE fought QUONSET (10-4990) (37-25-
0,151) of QUBIT. EXILE was overpowered by QUONSET in a 2 minute bloody one-sided
duel. Does this mean that Exile is forced to return home?
BUCK (1-2291) (40-87-0,160) of MOSSRUNNERS fought LEFTISTS BLOW (3-6356) (23-4-
2,103) of THE CONFUSED. BUCK [Naked He] outwaited LEFTISTS BLOW in a crowd pleasing
7 minute bloody bout. Oh yes, trust me on this, Buck used to fight that way. We
make him wear armor now, but he's usually naked underneath. Talk about chaffing!
ELENA (63-2356) (24-9-0,205) of SITTIN' ON ACES fought DELICE THE RED (56-3401)
(57-61-2,190) of BAD APPLES. ELENA handily defeated DELICE THE RED in an exciting 1
minute one-sided contest. Peeled the apple, in fact.
NED THE JANITOR (66-2973) (30-29-0,209) of ANDORIAN UNIVERSITY fought MORADOR
(2-5089) (37-14-1,155) of RESURRECTION. NED THE JANITOR subdued MORADOR in a 1
minute competition. Have we not said it before? Ned is deadly, or at least very
dangerous, with that pushbroom.
ARAC IRONFIST (67-1944) (25-15-0,186) of RAZOR GRACE fought BATTLING BOB (101-
26) (0-0-0,200) of the College of Mimes. ARAC IRONFIST was viciously subdued by
BATTLING BOB in a popular 2 minute brutal bout. And the mimes that do make it out in
the rain are in a mean mood.
2 PHAT (72-5064) (28-9-1,181) of VERMIN fought BECKY (17-5782) (21-7-3,177) of
BLADES OF STEEL. 2 PHAT was overpowered by BECKY in a 1 minute one-sided fight. The
exercise regimen, no doubt.
CADDY JACKKNIFE (11-4288) (28-13-0,181) of GERFEL'S FRIENDS fought QUIETUS (10-
5165) (27-11-1,153) of QUBIT. CADDY JACKKNIFE was viciously subdued by QUIETUS in an
action packed 2 minute fight. Well, what can you expect? A jackknife isn't much of
a blade to bring into the arena.
Ah, the challenges. VALLISNERIA (30-3226) (18-15-1,58) of THE GREENHOUSE
challenged SKI MASK (58-5869) (40-72-0,63) of CIRQUE DU MASQUES. Up 5. VALLISNERIA
devastated SKI MASK in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge competition. Duck soup at the
Greenhouse tonight.
CIARAN (1-7176) (18-12-1,63) of MANNEQUIN'S BEST challenged GAR & BRILL (38-
4252) (27-46-0,67) of JUST BECAUSE. Up 4. CIARAN defeated GAR & BRILL in an
exciting 3 minute Challenge struggle. He or she cleaned that brill like nobody's
business.
TYMARIS RAVENSWOOD (53-5637) (22-25-0,52) of PUERCO'S PINATA challenged CARRIE
NATION (64-4054) (48-85-0,68) of REFORMERS. Up 16. TYMARIS RAVENSWOOD was
devastated by CARRIE NATION in a 1 minute Challenge brawl. I'm sure Carrie will
point out the unwisdom of drinking wine before a fight.
BROCMAIL (69-9348) (27-21-2,141) of THE WILD HUNT challenged MR. POTATO HEAD
(20-442) (26-20-0,151) of LORDS OF CHAOS. Up 10. BROCMAIL was defeated by MR.
POTATO HEAD in a 2 minute brutal Challenge fight. Buried under a half-ton of fries!
NUTMEG (7-5167) (29-19-1,180) of SUGAR AND SPICE challenged MOD COD (55-2638)
(62-84-2,182) of RHYME TYME. Up 2. NUTMEG was assassinated by MOD COD in a 1 minute
mismatched Challenge duel. Bad move, Nutmeg. Ah, you noticed?
TALON (18-7782) (31-11-1,168) of GET OUTTA MY WAY challenged TOOFLESS (2-5103)
(43-6-0,188) of GLORY BOUND TROLLS. Up 20. TALON subdued TOOFLESS in an exciting 3
minute Challenge melee. But wait till the troll puts his teeth in! He's being
measured for dentures, you know.
RAISON D'ETRE (7-5311) (30-19-3,192) of BATHTUB ARMADA challenged LONE WOLF (31-
162) (31-30-1,195) of AVENGERS. Up 3. RAISON D'ETRE viciously subdued LONE WOLF in
a 2 minute Challenge fight. You'll notice how nobody ever calls themselves Pack
Wolves? And yet, those are the normal ones.
And for the title, a random match, but very decisive. DITCH RAT (82-15360) (30-
33-4,248) of VERMIN! fought CREDIT LINE (82-1366) (7-21-0,183) of WOMEN LOVE ME FOR
MY. DITCH RAT slaughtered CREDIT LINE in a 1 minute uneven Title duel. So much for
that Credit Line.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Hallie O'Dene -- You know, considering whoever is running you guys these days posts
most of the ads in Home Guard, you actually had a bit of a decent verbal turn out
last turn. However, things are going to change. I'm taking charge again. -- Tankesh
All -- Ok, I have returned to MY arena. Yes, I may manage in others, but I claim the
arena of puds, and win. You'll be seeing me in the ads. Feel free to think you can
take me down, but I won't ever think you've got a chance if you don't speak up.
Which is of course part of the purpose of my rambling. Get used to it! Time to
breathe a bit of life back into Home Guard. It's been getting more quiet and further
in the dumps since I left. -- Tankesh, Mgr. Tuft Tuggers
Council of Lords -- Ok, I'll try not to sound too prejudiced here. I can understand
one's affection for home arenas. I can understand wanting to celebrate a benchmark
turn. I can also understand wanting to boost them up. But I must argue that
OBVIOUSLY it isn't the BEST arena if you NEED more teams. Not to mention the fact
that THE best arena is Aruak City. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure yours is great,
maybe second best? I wouldn't know. Sorry, I don't have any teams there. -- Tankesh
All -- Ignore Tankesh. We've learned to. -- Tuft Tugger team members
P.S. Ok, don't ignore him, but don't take him too seriously.
Puerco -- Howdy! How's the mushroom farm? -- Tankesh
Pink Bear -- You'd think somebody named after a goat could take a few head hits, but
not me. I see quadruple. -- Mountain Goat
Masher -- Wow. They said you were pathetic. They didn't say I was pathetic. And I
learned four skills and got a rating. That was the best day of my life. -- Buck
We were the most avoided? Wowee! -- Buck
Ruthless -- It looks like you might need to collect up a ruth or two before you step
into the arena. You don't fight well without any. -- Fealost
Black Eye -- Did they tell you that was your favorite weapon? Because I don't think
you fight very well with it. Did you notice how I got initiative skills and you
didn't; that was the difference in weapons. -- Moose
Kookaburra -- Skillfully done. I bow to your creamy goodness. -- Crooked Hoof
What? This must be a different species of kookaburra! -- Ed.
Olaf Modeen -- I had a horse with a crooked hoof once. Best horse I ever had. It
was nice and slow, I always got where I was going after the fight was over. --
Crooked Hoof
This sounds like an excellent plan. -- Olaf
Briarthorn -- You're well named. And you're not a total scum like I'd heard. --
Broken Toe
By Hoof and Horn, the ignominy! -- Gazelle (after losing to a stand-in)
P.S. Hey, I'm not a golem!
P.P.S. The Lake Sailor can so swear, mime or not.
Tymaris Ravenswood -- Your name is too long, and I think that's why you lost. But
you did do some pretty fancy parrying from your knees. -- Hummingbird
Ski Mask -- Y- y- you're a duck! -- Hummingbird
Mr. Potato Head -- Ah, potato salad tonight! Thanks, I was wondering what to fix for
dinner. Hot German potato salad with sausages in it. -- Delice the Red
Becky -- And very steely indeed were your blades. Ouch. -- Hallie O'Dene
Fred -- How DARE you make the "rubber duckie in the bathtub" comment to me! Even for
a mammal, you are a rotten, egg-eating muskrat! -- Ski Mask, Founder and President of
Ducks With Swords, and certified Paranoid
Spectrum -- Even Siam is not far enough away to disguise the truth. You reek of
bathtub gin. It will rot your brain (if you have one) and ruin your reflexes (such
as they are). Leave off these foolish indulgences while you still can! -- Carrie
Nation
Olaf -- (glower) -- Ski Mask
Hummingbird -- I suppose you're welcome. I'd rather teach skills to you than to some
mammal. But you hummers are all frivolous. -- Ski Mask
31 January 2005
My fellow duelists I come before you bearing a sad and unfortunate message.
Several months ago our group, the Vendetta Cartel, had lost contact with one of our
friends. Since he was in contact or correspondence on an almost daily basis there
was concern amongst us. With some research two of our members discovered why contact
was lost with him.
On November 10, 2004, Richard Hammes was taken from us in a senseless act of
violence during a robbery attempt at a friend's store where he sometimes worked. He
was watching the store so his friend could go home to tend to his son who had taken
ill. You may have known Rich as Abarsis, The Slaughter Priest ; richh10 on the RT;
or gameogre on the Duel2 messageboard. You may not have known that he spent 13 years
serving the United States in the Navy.
Rich dearly loved this game and all it encompassed. He may not have been the
best or most experienced manager but he loved to interact with others and was quick
to offer advice whenever anyone asked for help. He was always kind and gracious and
tried to strengthen our game, often by helping new players feel welcome or give them
a chance to compete. With his prolific posting I know that I am simply speaking the
obvious about what he did for our game. Many, like me, were drawn to him, perhaps
for his kind nature or his sense of humor, and it appears he lived his life as he
played this game. Always willing to help or do right by others.
I realize that he had many friends outside the VC so I will include the link to
the news story in case any of his other friends would like to know more of what
happened. We're all dealt a hand in life but it's not the strength of the hand
you're dealt but rather how you play it that really matters. Rich played his hand to
the very best of his human ability and for this I admire him greatly. I know we all
choose to like or dislike managers but I believe deep down we are all good and
decent, in this game, and will drop party (alliance) lines and will show the proper
respect.
http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20041112/news_7m12clerk.html
Rich was taken from us all to soon and with so much left to offer the community
around him. He spoke of a desire to run a contest on the Duel2 site which I hope to
uphold in his name. Some of the people I have spoken with think it would be a nice
gesture to do one final good act in Rich's name, though it could never match what he
would've done within his community, for his community of San Diego. I hope that with
this contest we might raise a little money to donate to an appropriate charity within
San Diego in his name.
In conclusion I send a message to Rich:
"Rich, though I'm sure you gathered this I never really told you how much I
admired you and what a friend I considered you. I thank you for being my voice of
reason and always reminding me of why we both loved this game so much! You have
taught me one final valuable lesson in learning more of you. There are things far
more valuable in life than material possessions such as character and kindness. That
nothing going on in your life means that you cannot find a way to be kind and giving
to others. We always spoke of meeting someday and until we finally do know that you
will live on in with me and the rest of your brothers and sisters in the Cartel:
Master Darque, Kat, Bum, Sensei Jan, Maximillian, Hammer, Fizban, Firehawk, Phat
Phat. You increased all of our enjoyment of this game, you were a true ambassador of
Duelmasters, and the game will not be quite the same without you. A farewell battle
cry from the ZalCon: 'Confusion to our enemies'. May your soul rest in peace, my
friend."
Should anyone wish to correspond about Rich feel free to contact myself, or
anyone else within the Vendetta Cartel.

Be it known throughout Alastari that Hammer is no longer a member of the
Vendetta Cartel alliance.
A difference of opinion with another highly respected member of the VC due to my
recent vocal actions in DM 47 can only be resolved by my resignation from the VC as
of January 29, 2005.
I leave of my own accord, in good standing with all members and with no hard
feelings towards anyone in the Vendetta Cartel.
There was a time when I felt that my membership in the VC made the alliance
stronger. I know that my resignation today makes the Vendetta Cartel a stronger
alliance with my absence. -- Hammer

On behalf of the ILLUMINATI Confederation of Alliances (The kLk, CHAOS, Inc. and The
Company of Brothers) I would like to express our sympathies concerning the tragic
loss of Rich Hammes to both the DM community and to the real life world. Surely our
loss has been Heaven's gain. -- Talon Darkhart, deeply sorrowful

Name-Change-O-Rama
The winter tourney brought a lot of people to the Isle who didn't appear there
normally. This included Commission employees. Half a dozen arenamasters regarded
each other warily in the mirror behind the bar at the Pig in a Haystack. The Pig was
obscure and mediocre, drawing few gladiators, which is what they had all been looking
for. They saw gladiators every day. Most arenamaster were convinced that this was
some kind of punishment.
You could always pick out the arenamasters in a crowd. There were superficial
differences: One of these had clearly Adantri features, one wore an eye-patch, two
were female. But there were, in significant ways, alike. The same size, the same
hair-trigger alertness, the same deadliness.
The one-eyed man broke the ice, raising his beer mug in salute. "I'm Zrof One-
Eye from Zukal. Sugar of Arvat--" One of the women bowed slightly. "I know Sugar.
The rest of you...?"
The Adantri matched his salute. "Dernal of Dayla Kiv."
"Daiyla Kiv? Ah...."
"No, without the 'I' in it. These damned bureaucrats can't spell, and they
thought adding an unnecessary vowel was exotic." Disgust dripped from his voice.
"Tell me about it!" another man growled in agreement. "Khagal of Niatoli, and
what they do to the spelling of THAT simple word--!"
"I thought Daiyla, I mean Dayla Kiv had a different name right now,"
Arenamistress Sugar said. "The arena, at least, because of a contest?"
"Chavez Ravine." Dernal's tone was the one that substituted in polite company
for spitting on the floor.
Zrof blinked, taken aback by the bitterness. He wouldn't have minded a contest
in Zukal, and damn what they called the place. "It's only temporary, though."
"Temporary, shmiperary," another man muttered. He seemed well into his drinking,
although, like all arenamasters, he carried his liquor well. "They do it all the time
in Aradi. No reshpect. Go around changing thish, changing that. I wish I could
change shome thingsh." He signalled the bartender for a refill.
The second woman put her hand over his mug. "You've had enough, Harkon. Try the
coffee, instead."
"You should be mad, too, Ripplesh," Harkon said. "They're going to do shtuff
like that in Jahnsh, aren't they?"
Ripples Dorrigan shrugged. All the men paused, some with glasses half raised, to
watch. "It's the way things are," she said. "Not much we can do about it."
"You know," Khagal of Niatoli said, "maybe we could make a few changes. Fix the
spelling of Arena 33, for one, change a few standby titles--"
"The Commission hates changes." Dernal of Dayla Kiv topped up his glass and
drained it gloomily.
"Yes, but if we disguise it," Sugar of Arvat said, excited, "make it... maybe a
general Name-Change-O-Rama! Then we could slip OUR changes through and no one would
notice or mind."
