Reflections by the Chief Tower Guard
Whatever....

Chief Tower Guard
Andorian Knights
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
So Olaf Modeen remembers this place well, does he? So what? I should care?
You should care? Bah. I have no patience with that old fool. Besides, he's dead.
Speaking as a person with a raging toothache, I'm going to make this a short and
dirty spy report. Just the basic facts, and not much else. Actually, that sounds
rather clean.
Royal Flush was avoided by The Stormguards. Burger King got the most challenges
(there was McDonald's, and Lotta Burger, and Taco Bell...).
So far as I can tell, no one died. Too bad, I'm in the mood for a good funeral.
Three mimes fought. You couldn've killed them. Who would have cared?
Out of twenty-eight fights, nine where challenge matches, one of them (for the
Title, no less!) involiving a TV challenge.
The longest fight was five minutes, and they have the never to call THIS a slow
arena! I've seen longer fights elsewhere. Of course, I've seen longer fights here,
too.
The longest fight: SANDPAWN (11-4169) (53-26-1,196) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS fought
BEAUTY QUEEN (47-3352) (41-41-3,177) of ROYAL FLUSH. SANDPAWN overpowered BEAUTY
QUEEN in a crowd pleasing 5 minute mismatched conflict. A random match, I note. I'm
sure some of you could go longer if you tried.
SIR PELLEAS (31-4352) (22-20-1,75) of WILLBENDERS challenged NORM PETERSON (39-
2745) (45-77-0,86) of DRINKING BUDDIES. Up 11. SIR PELLEAS vanquished NORM PETERSON
in an exciting 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight.
PROOKIE (78-2345) (25-16-1,115) of PBA challenged MIRTA (51-4033) (51-32-1,149)
of SAND DANCERS. Up 34. PROOKIE was vanquished by MIRTA in a 1 minute uneven
Challenge fight.
300 (78-2346) (24-19-0,149) of PBA challenged SIR YDER (31-4353) (28-15-0,168)
of WILLBENDERS. Up 19. 300 vanquished SIR YDER in a 1 minute uneven Challenge duel.
DEBBIE DAHMER (45-3579) (29-11-1,134) of MORDRED'S MADMEN challenged JACK SPRAT
(47-2954) (51-60-4,147) of ROYAL FLUSH. Up 13. DEBBIE DAHMER was devastated by JACK
SPRAT in a 1 minute Challenge competition.
SPLIT (78-2347) (26-18-0,165) of PBA challenged STONEWALL (11-3900) (55-60-
2,180) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS. Up 15. SPLIT viciously subdued STONEWALL in a crowd
pleasing 3 minute brutal Challenge fight.
MATADOR (11-4139) (49-35-2,163) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS challenged TASHIA (11-2740)
(32-41-1,170) of DEADLY DE-PARTED. Up 7. MATADOR was savagely defeated by TASHIA in
a crowd pleasing 2 minute Challenge match.
SANDBLASTER (11-3899) (57-58-3,215) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS challenged JUAN (41-
2304) (32-21-0,234) of DREAM TEAMS. Up 19. SANDBLASTER viciously subdued JUAN in a
crowd pleasing 3 minute gory Challenge brawl.
TALOS (31-2069) (57-28-0,213) of THE STORMGUARDS challenged GROLSCH (21-5029)
(40-4-4,261) of REAL BEER. Up 48. TALOS was demolished by GROLSCH in a 2 minute
gory one-sided Challenge melee.
And for the title: WILLIE MAKIT (73-514) (107-38-3,310) of MISTAKEN IDENTITY TV
challenged SANDMAN (11-3923) (60-56-2,271) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS. Down 39, but it was
to the throne, so I suppose that doesn't count. If you can't challenge the man with
the title, what's the point? WILLIE MAKIT devastated SANDMAN in a 2 minute
mismatched Challenge Title fight. Congratulations to Willie.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN
PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Crip -- Thanks. Let us continue to make every turn memorable and historic. -- The
Icelord (speaking of: come back to Chimlevtal, I have a BF whupping to administer)
High Lord Bosk -- My thanks, Great One. -- Lord Protector Fengar II
High Lord Bosk -- Well met, warrior. -- The Icelord (I hope you managed to stay warm
at the Packers game!)
Mirta -- Come a little closer and I'll show you. -- Tempus
Ketchum -- We can do both. -- The Stormguards
Both what? I left my memory in my other jacket.
Greetings Crysalis! The glorious arena of Chimlevtal (31) is approaching its 250th
cycle! In our, and many others opinion, Chimlevtal is THE greatest and toughest
arena on Ghea. What we desire is for all managers who have ever run a team in
Chimlevtal to return and run 5 warriors on turn #250. If you have never had the
privilege of managing warriors on its sands, we invite you to do so now. (There are
only 2 unchartered teams--free fights can be taken by the bold.) Turn #249 is due
2/11/05. Our goal is to have 30 teams with 150 warriors duel in Chimlevtal on turn
#250. We ask you to join us in this historic event. Salute! -- The Council of Lords
Leeta -- I think I remember your stable in Aruak City. Did not your warrior defeat
me my first fight and mock my name? Something about I got Sandblasted instead of
being the Sandblaster. -- Sandblaster (took too many shots to the head to recall)
Grinnon Bearit -- I served you so quick I almost changed my name to Fastfood Cook. --
Matador (wondering how he will grin and bear that)
Sir Ly -- Good title fight! Next time it could be you that won. -- Sandman (liking
the view)
Burger King -- Dammit, I said "hold the onions." Not THROW them at me. -- Mirta
Jack Sprat -- I KNEW I should've hit you in the mouth with bacon. Oh, well. -- Kyra
Primus -- Well, they do say that you can't beat a real beer. -- Kitala the Bold
Dollface -- There's a rumor that you might start talking. Too bad you'll have to
start by saying "ouch." -- Dannia tyl Sio
P.S. Well, better than ME saying ouch.
False rumor, apparently.
Hoffa with Hair -- You know, you don't meet the standard requirements for being a
hoffa-named gladiator. -- Sunflash
It must be the hair. -- Ed.
Captured Pirate King -- What a wuss! -- Snowfall
R.O.U.S. -- I hate rates. -- Egan Forn
Crip -- But fifty turns in Crysalis is four years! -- Leeta etc.

On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's
Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills
on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could
DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!

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.

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
