I'm sorry to report that no one was killed this turn. However, I do think that most of you fought very bravely. It was just bad luck. 219 minutes, that's nothing more than a siesta. No wonder they were our two least popular warriors. I don't think they tried hard enough this time. A DIFFERENT GRAPE (82-1258) (42-29-1,194) of MY WIFE'S COSMETICS TV challenged ETCHED IN STONE (61-3112) (42-22-1,207) of CEMENTIA. A DIFFERENT GRAPE was viciously subdued by top TP ETCHED IN STONE in a 219 minute fight. So said the announcer, but you've got to wonder just how vicious it was. Three and a half hours and they were ready to quit? It wasn't even a hot day. Anyhow that was one of our TV challenges. The other TV challenge was a bit livelier. MUMPHY CHICK (1-5487) (15-1-0,83) of LEGENDS OF STEELE TV challenged B.A. TURRY (39-3383) (18-23-1,65) of CRIMINAL ELEMENT. MUMPHY CHICK luckily beat B.A. TURRY in an exciting 3 minute Challenge melee. Ah, and we had one ambitious young fellow take a shot at the Runeblade this turn. STARBUCK (6-5387) (36-23-0,215) of SCIENCE FICTION challenged SLEEPLESS PARANOIA (82-2252) (25-17-1,305) of PARENTHOOD. STARBUCK was overpowered by SLEEPLESS PARANOIA in a 1 minute Challenge Title duel. Nice try though. There were a lot of avoids this turn, most of them posted by the guild ranked 4th. And the most avoided guild was Assur's, ranked 17th. It's interesting to note that there were three avoids posted for Sretsamlued, a team that wasn't even active. Our most challenged warrior was Men Working, because when you look at his record you think he's going to lose. But he doesn't always. STRAFE (82-11158) (14-13-0,49) of BLACK PRIMERS challenged MEN WORKING (38-4189) (26-53-1,44) of JUST BECAUSE. STRAFE was bested by MEN WORKING in an action packed 2 minute brutal Challenge duel. Strafe, you hang in there. You may be at the bottom of the pile right now, but you'll claw your way up in time. Speedi remains our overall popularity leader and he has a winning record! That's rather unusual for a popularity leader, you know. SPEEDI (58-3029) (102-83- 3,241) of SHAMROCKS fought CHICK WITH A STICK (23-4365) (58-48-2,222) of DIABLO TOO. SPEEDI savagely defeated CHICK WITH A STICK in a popular 2 minute bloody match. This turn's favorite was David Caruso. DAVID CARUSO (82-2269) (21-9-1,213) of BELLYFLOP fought WHIRLING DOG (10-4177) (61-31-1,214) of MONGREL HORDE. DAVID CARUSO viciously subdued WHIRLING DOG in a crowd pleasing 7 minute gory brawl. Not only was this fight long enough to really get into, it was an upset (Whirling Dog being favored because of his greater experience) and money was made. May we please have a manager roll call? I'm sorry to admit that I've lost track of who is who. I would also like to know your alliances, if any. Thank you.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE The Muffin Man -- Sorry I didn't respond to your ad last turn. I'm afraid I fell into a state of VERY deep concentration before getting to the personal ads and didn't come out of it until the next morning. Yes, it was compassionate of you and The Upright Man to instruct your warriors to pause and let the spectators have bathroom breaks. I'm sure the Arenamaster might have objected as this allowed the warriors to rest as well, but I understand he was asleep. Do you know what the record is? For the entire Isle, I think the record may have been set back during Judge Beni's time, but I don't really know the record for Darkholm. I should start keeping track of these things. -- Desiree Cyclops -- That must be a terrible handicap. No depth perception. -- Tolais Deepheart Link -- Darn! I thought you were a SAUSAGE, and it would have been AWFUL and WRONG if I had been killed by a sausage! It would be an OFFENSE against the sanctity of golem-hood. -- Life of Osksi I suppose you must have seen him in the locker room? -- Desiree Schyler -- And the list YOU are on, my boy, is the one labeled "Naughty." -- Mucker Dr Nut -- Well, I guess I'm not much of a nut-cracker, am I? -- Maginot Mike 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!
