Delarq Tor DM 58 would be Re-Opened as a Slow Arena by the Gladiatorial Commission as a Special Prize Awarded to the Illis Iron Stable Award Winners on the following conditions: 1. At least 20 of the stables entered in the DM 59 Delarq Death Fest beginning July 29th Must Complete a Minimum of 67 of a possible 75 fights over the course of 15 rounds 2. At least 20 of those Iron Stable Managers Must Enter a New Team Roll Up into DM 58 Delarq Tor Without Cannibalizing Any of Their Active Stables 3. A Minimum of 15 Stables are Required to Remain Active Each Cycle for the First Six Months to Ensure Exclusive Competition for the Duel Master and Team Awards [Free Fights!] Without Any Other Stables Being Allowed to Enter the Newly Re-Opened DM 58 Slow Arena [Until the First Six Months Have Expired in May 2006]. Hammer was Alerting the entire Delarq Federation Regular and Slow Arenas; as well as the Andorian and Free Blades Slow Arenas; Extending to Every Manager from Newbie to Jaded Veteran His Personal Invitation to Compete in the DM 59 Delarq Death Fest; with the Understanding that Delarq Tor DM 58 would be Re-Opened as a Slow Arena [If More Than Enough Managers Would Compete for the Opportunity to Re-Open Delarq Tor!]; Thus Carving a New Chapter in the Alastari Historical Archives; While Fulfilling Their Own Delarq Dueling Destiny! One of the things Hammer enjoyed most about Hosting/Promoting New Contests Was/Is the Transformation/Enlargement of the Chosen Arena Site; Especially Anticipating the New Stable Names/Managers Who Answer the Call to Cross Blades and Match Wits in a Hammer Hosted/Sponsored Contest. Offering 25 points to each Death Fest competitor who writes a minimum 15 paragraph Team Spotlight [including their Stable Name and Managerial Alias]; while Highlighting a Storyline of their own choosing as they Answer the Call to Cross Blades and Match Wits in a Hammer Sponsored Slow Arena Contest; would be One of Hammer's Most Anticipated Aspects of Hosting the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59. It would be Interesting to see Who was able to Write their Spotlight and Email it in a Format that would NOT be Cut Off by HAL; plus Who would be able to Submit their Hand Written [or Typed] Spotlight in Time for the RSI Typist to have Time to Type It into the DM 59 T-172 Newsletter; Otherwise, those 25 points would be Forfeited Due to the Fact that Hammer and Other Interested Persons would be Deprived of the Pleasure of the Potential Entertainment of Reading Countless Team Spotlights on the Opening Round of the Delarq Death Fest [because of Missing or Partial Team Spotlights!]. Hammer also was Interested in Who would have the Foresight to Place Their Stable on Team Maintenance or Warrior Maintenance to Ensure Their Stable Would NOT Miss a Death Fest Round; thus Forfeiting Both an Additional 25 points for fighting 67 of a possible 75 fights over the course of 15 rounds AND the Opportunity to Start a New Stable in Delarq Tor DM 58 as an Illis Iron Stable Award Winner; Once the Death Fest Contest Concluded in August 2005 and Qualified Managers were Listed with the Gladiatorial Commission to Send RSI a New Team Roll Up to Register a New Stable in DM 58 Delarq Tor: Thus Qualifying those New Stables to Compete in the Rookies 2005 Fall Mailer Tourney Before Competing in the Historic First Turn of the Newly Re-Opened Delarq Tor DM 58 Slow Arena on November 3rd 2005. Hammer Had Done His Best to Send Out the Call for the Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging to Cross Blades and Match Wits in Competition for the Top 10 Prize Categories and Illis Iron Stable Award [Where Everyone Wins the Right to Compete in the Newly Re-Opened Delarq Tor DM 58 Slow Arena on November 3rd 2005] All Sanctioned by the Gladiatorial Commission! Delarq Tor DM 58 Awaits Those Who are Brave Enough to Endure the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59 [Beginning July 29th 2004 T-172; Concluding August 25th 2005 T-186] By Completing a Minimum of 67 Fights Out of a Possible 75 Fights Over the Course of 15 Rounds of Dastardly Delarq Dog-Fighting! ***** Consult the DM 59 T-171 Newsletter Team Spotlight by Hammer for a Complete Listing of Death Fest Rules/Prize Allocations! ***** The New Merriam-Webster Dictionary Definitions: Dada: A movement in art and literature based on deliberate irrationality and negation of traditional artistic values.

I think I was gone last turn...wasn't I? Things are getting a little confusing around here. Well, I'm happy to report that Sleepless Paranoia won, or defended, the Runeblade this turn. SHOCKING TOAD (7-310) (55-70-1,231) of NINJAS challenged SLEEPLESS PARANOIA (82-2252) (24-17-1,294) of PARENTHOOD. SHOCKING TOAD was devastated by SLEEPLESS PARANOIA in a 1 minute Challenge Title contest. Aaaaannnnnd we had a couple of TV challenges this turn. DR DAZZLE (57-4485) (60-31-2,207) of PEPPER PRACTICE II TV challenged JACK BOY (82-2030) (76-56-0,247) of ON A WHIM. DR DAZZLE demolished JACK BOY in a popular 1 minute one-sided Challenge melee. That was fairly predictable, don't you think? But wait! What's 1152 divided by 60? That would be 19 hours and 12 minutes, right? A DIFFERENT GRAPE (82-1258) (42-28-1,244) of MY WIFE'S COSMETICS TV challenged ETCHED IN STONE (61-3112) (41-22-1,195) of CEMENTIA. A DIFFERENT GRAPE was viciously subdued by ETCHED IN STONE in a 1152 minute fight. Seven spectators had to be carried out of the stands because their behinds had gone completely to sleep. It isn't a record. There have been "fights" that went on for days. But it was a very good effort. Oh! Challenges and avoids. Let's see...Next Generation were avoided by My Drugs. And, heh heh heh, Life was most challenged. LINK (6-5144) (26-44-2,130) of SUPER BASH BROTHERS challenged LIFE (3-4196) (40-132-0,122) of GAMES LIBRARY. LINK viciously subdued LIFE in an exciting 4 minute bloody Challenge fray. As he was carried away, the Games Library golem was heard to say, "I am SPEECHLESS with indignation. HOW can I be expected to do my BEST work while a BARBARIAN strikes me with a heavy OBJECT? I am an ARTIST! I must have PEACE in order to CONCENTRATE!!" Speaking of which, I find myself falling into a state of very deep concentration after every sentence and I think that means it is time to stop writing. If you are going anywhere in the next fortnight, please travel with care. If you are driving the carriage and you find yourself getting sleepy, pull over and take a nap. I have no doubt the horses will appreciate it as well.

Of course, it'd still be unsanitary when it came to you eating soup, but sometimes you just have to take what you've got. -- Tolais Deepheart Threnody -- None for me, thanks. I'm a golem. -- Mucker Desiree -- Dang, wish you were able to do the report from last turn. TUM and I had a fight between our guys go for more than 2 days! There were plenty of bathroom breaks for the fans--those that stuck around the whole time, that is. We might see another like that this turn. I hope so! -- TMM 16 June 2004 Death Fest Begins July 29/DM 59 T-172 "You drive a hard bargain Hammer," responded Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul, "but the Gladiatorial Commission has agreed to re-open DM 58 Delarq Tor as a Slow Arena exclusively for a period of six months to those Death Fest contestants who fight their stables at least 67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death Fest; on the condition that at least 20 stables qualify for the Illis Iron Stable Award at the conclusion of the Death Fest and those qualifying managers send a New Stable to DM 58 Delarq Tor without Cannibalizing their participation in the other arenas where they have active stables!" Hammer felt a certain sense of satisfaction as he studied the ghoulish grin spreading across the face of Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul; proud Arena Master of the once dying Illis Arena, as the DM 59 Arena Authority signed the Gladiatorial Commission papers authenticating the arrangement agreed upon by the two parties presiding. "You and the Gladiatorial Commission also drive a hard bargain," Hammer replied as he reflected upon the prospects of Delarq Tor DM 58 being re-opened as a Slow Arena with at least 20 New Stables by the Managers who fight their stables at least 67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death Fest. "I also notice the clause that for Delarq Tor to be open Exclusively for 6 months to the New Stables managed by the Illis Iron Stable Award Winners that there must be at least 15 stables Active each cycle. That is a fair bargain for the opportunity to battle for the Duelmaster Throne each of those six months before Other New Stables are allowed to enter Delarq Tor." This was a Golden Opportunity for both Veteran and Newbie Managers to pave a new frontier of Delarq history by qualifying their Death Fest stables in DM 59 with 67 fights out of a possible 75; then for the price of running a stable in a Regular Arena, continuing to be Active in DM 59 and sending a New Team Roll Up to be a part of "History in the Making" when Delarq Tor would re-open for its First Turn as a Slow Arena on November 3rd, 2005. Death Fest would conclude on T-186 August 25th, 2005 allowing the Illis Iron Stable Award Winners enough time to be registered with the Gladiatorial Commission; whereupon they would be able to submit a New Team Roll Up to the GC to start a New Stable in Delarq Tor; be able to fight those New Gladiators in the Rookies 2005 Fall Mailer Tourney; then begin competing for the DM 58 Duelmasters Throne in Delarq Tor right out of the gate with the November 3rd 2005 T-1 Debut Opening Round. Hammer of the First Part had also negotiated with Lord Na-Zul of the Second Part an agreement that All 10 Dark Arena Monsters and 17 NPCs Characters be re-named by the Top Ten Death Fest Finishers. [See DM 59 T-171 Newsletter Team Spotlight by Hammer for the complete listing of Dark Arena Monsters/NPCs and the Official Death Fest Designation for which Top Ten Finishers re-name which characters!] Lord Na-Sul could not hide his delight at the prospects of Death being re- delivered to his once dying arena during the Delarq Death Fest; the DM 59 Arena Master agreed that these Death Fest Prizes were but a Small Exchange in Comparison to the Profits to be made by the local Illis business merchants and surrounding community from the Anticipated Influx into Illis by the Veteran and Newbie Managers/Gladiators/Stables seeking to make History in the Delarq Death Fest. Nor could Hammer conceal his jubilation regarding the Call Across Alistari being Answered to Cross Blades and Match Wits with the Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging who were being drawn to the Delarq Death Fest to Fulfill their Delarq Dueling Destiny!
