Tell Ski Mask he's most popular, and there's no living with him. -- Glacier the indignant Yourbagd Forever -- You BRIBED the stewards to put YOUR bag over MY head before the fight! Nobody told me I'd have to fight my way out of a paper bag before the fight, or I'd have brought my scissors, even if it meant running with them. -- Ski Mask, Founder and President of Ducks with Swords, brooding darkly Uncle Fester is all hands, and I do NOT like it. Dirty hands, too. -- Amelia Hagar Bluetooth -- It wasn't the color so much as the smell. -- Young Joan Mindquake -- Amazing how many problems can be solved by scraping them off with a sheet of ice, eh? -- Glacier If I had more energy, I'd take offense at Ketchum's comment. Why should I not defeat you? -- Ghost Dancer In sum, three-two for us. -- Glacier Folks, I am leaving Duel II for personal reasons. I have no idea whether I may return, but don't count on it. I will remain active in Lapur (29) and Jade Mountain (75), and that's it. I have enjoyed knowing you. Fare you well. -- Jorja LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS KAT was devastated by BIKINI ATOLL in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.

Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like this, and it probably wouldn't be the last. "So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?" "Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary. There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're too full of team records." "Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested. Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave. "We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested. "We can't burn RECORDS." "I could," Rinvar said. "But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its own sake, Jame." Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew." "When are they shutting down Blackstone?" "To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of enquiry around the room. "Jasper Gulch," a steward said. "Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably 'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT." Voth nodded. "We can work with this." "Beats not working." SEAM (DM 20) REOPENS AS A NEW NO-TOURNEY ARENA! Seam (DM 20) will be re-opening soon as a no-tourney DM arena! If you enjoy arena play without tournament interference, this arena is for you! Only rookie teams may enter this arena, and all managers must sign the "no-tourney" pledge. Turn 0 is due on May 4 (overviews only) and Turn 1 is due on May 18. To avoid confusion, all old inactive teams which were in Seam have travelled to Mazgourrah (DM 77). Seam is the newest arena to join the no-tourney group of arenas and will process on opposite weeks with Shadowspire (DM 81), the original no-tourney arena. Other no- tourney arenas include Telorinthe (DM 83), a slow arena, and Storm Rock (DM 107), for ADM warriors. Join in the fun! Send in your new rollup along with the pledge soon so you can get in on the ground floor of this new arena! ******************************************************************************** NO-TOURNEY ARENA PLEDGE * I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team. * I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena. If circumstances preclude my running less than a full team, I will notify the Player Committee. * I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee. * I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
