WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT
To The Bold:
Something queer has come to pass in the dark, dense jungles of the Gate. The
enemy is massing. Beforetimes, our scouting party has slipped, unseen, through many
regions of the dank wilderness, passing as shadows amidst enemy fortifications and
their hideous temple of the darkest evil. Now, however, we cannot go a mile without
encountering a group of Jaguar Priests and Warriors. They swarm amidst the rotting
cypress like flies on a dung heap. Six times this week alone we were drawn into
battle in territories where we have never before seen any of the Chaos Spawn!
Lords and Ladies of Alastari, sit not in your snug quarters awaiting your doom,
complacent and content. Come forth into the jungles. Make the enemy feel your wrath.
Blood your swords with their foul ichor. Why else did you come hither? Seek not
endless, tedious combat amongst yourselves, but test yourselves against the true
enemy.
If you will not join the Companions, form your own companies, but do not sit idly
by while our doom grows near. There is much to fear, it is true, but is not victory
all the more sweet for that? What worth is victory without risk, combat without death
or prowess without a true test?
Rouse your jaded souls and rise against the Chaos!
-- Vengeance
The Companions
This turn: 1-3-1
Overall: 17-27-17
RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP
Salutations and felicitations gladiators of the gate.
Toads and flying serpents! Were you there to see the title fight between
Delbaeth and Gypsy Moth? Well let's put it this way. If you sat within the first
five rows and wore white, by the time the fight was over your robes would have been
red! And when all the dust settled Delbaeth emerged covered with glory and
victorious. Bets are already being taken for how long he can hold the top post in all
of the Duelmasters games.
Still that is not the only tale of combat and gore to be told this round.
Falstaff and Donatello faced off again and this time Falstaff took ol' Donny down in
less time than it takes to say Leapin' Lechers of Lapur! Ouch. Remember what I
always say, "When the tough get going -- it's time to go elsewhere!" The Gate was a
complete massacre this turn. If I am not mistaken, not a single valiant that entered
the Gate this turn did not but return on a stretcher. Next time I'll have to put my
money on the boys from Chaos, ehh?
This week I thought I'd interview the so called "Happy Slasher" just to see how
it feels to be the "Least Popular" warrior in the whole arena. Here's a rough
transcript:
ZSE: So, they call you Happy. How does it feel to be the "model" warrior that every
new manager in Alastari gets to hear about and yet still the least popular warrior
here at Gateway?
Happy: Well, I can't say I'm unhappy about it.
ZSE: Really. I would think it would be rather depressing?
Happy: No. Actually, I feel quite happy today. I'm blessed with a positive attitude
and a pleasant disposition.
ZSE: Well, what about your performance in the arena this week? I mean it would be
safe to say you got "Slaughtered", wouldn't it?
Happy: I'm not sure just how safe it would be to say it. If you've got some kind of
problem Zontani I'd be HAPPY to go a few rounds with YOU right now.
ZSE: Spying and prying are my games not waving metal around and dressing to impress.
You know I just remembered an appointment. Thanks for your time. Bye!
Happy: Are you sure I can't help you SLASH your schedule? I'd be happy to help out!...
(sound of retreating footsteps).
You know, I'm begining to see what makes that man so unpopular. Oh well, I really do
need to be running. Until next time keep in mind that victory is the reward of
heroes, gold the reward of assassins -- but nobody rewards a chucklehead (no offense
Happy).

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Poppa Bear -- What makes you think I "care"? -- Love & Hairballs, Bill the Cat (ACK!)
Zontani -- I'd challenge you... but they won't let me challenge down that far. --
Furious
All -- That felt good, my first skill learns in nearly seven years. -- Ajax
All -- FYI, the last time Ajax learned skills: Epitaph was 81-14-2 and had just broken
Silverflash and Chaos Knight's record for consecutive turns as Tower Guardian, Phido
was complaining because Fishpaw was more hated than him, Neon was threatening the
return of Roman Swords to Aruak to show how feeble my warriors were, Epitaph was
taking caca for challenging Sisters of the Poor. -- Cassius, the Brigade
Mamma -- Sorry about passing you for the lead in arena 43. You're still the best
furry female warrior! Tell Papa Bear not to be greedy, he still rules 42, 46, and 48.
-- Executioner
Papa -- Good to see that you're back in working order! Glad you didn't need Sheila's
help. -- Foxy
Furious -- Can't believe those downchallenges! Guess you've given up on looking for
respect. That handsome record seems like fresh icing on a moldy cake. Feel free to
challenge down to Hawk, Dangerous or me while you still can. -- Executioner
Revenge -- Good show. I haven't gone five minutes in years. I owe you. -- Dangerous
Vengeance -- Thanks, cap'n. ;) -- Billy
Puppy Chow -- Got more important things to think about right now than that, m'friend.
You wanna hammer on me, that's fine, but if you're not going to teach me anything, I
have no use for you. I need skills if I'm going to be any use here. Welcome aboard.
Help us in the fight. -- Billy
P.S. I haven't spoken to Tex in almost a year. It's a dark place, and I haven't
thought much beyond just TRYING to come back from the Gate under my own power.
Puppy Chow -- A skill. I thank thee. I would that it had been more, but I cannot ask
of thee more than thou canst give. -- Jeremy
Maynard -- Thank you, my friend. That's the first of that such rating I've ever
received. I hope it helps. -- Shawn
5/27/96
Does anyone have a TC prize from the last tourney that they would be willing to sell?
Belielve me, it would come in really handy right now. Please diplo me at: Papaiz,
mgr. of Warckers DM 26
6/7/96
All -- If you live in Connecticul or southern Massachusets and would like to trade
info, diplo Crom's minions in DM 62. -- Conan
6/13/96
Anyone willing to proxy warriors in the summer FTF, please diplo the Boss Man of
Boyer's Warriors II in DM 48. You won't need to change their strategies at all. Will
pay for the cost of mailing.
LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS
1) REGGIE JACKSON (17-1339) (107-73-4,11) of JACKSON FIVE entered the Gateway to find
a FIRE LIZARD battering against the very walls of the Keep! REGGIE JACKSON set to
battle immediately, catching the FIRE LIZARD off guard--for two minutes did they
fight, with the Lord Protector coming out the victor in the end. The body of the
Lizard was brought into the Keep for examination.
2) BARIUM (53-378) (80-65-4,3) of CHEMICALS ventured forth into the Gate in search
of the greater enemy and there was dismayed to find a savage beast-man called JHOKOR,
who dove on him as soon as the Lord Protector showed his face. Though BARIUM fought
bravely, and held his own for three minutes, in the end he was savagely slain by
JHOKOR in the jungle. His body was recovered by other Lord Protectors.
3) VENGEANCE (9-2052) (122-30-14,2) of ANGELS OF PAIN lead his team into the Gate,
spreading them out along the borders that we have claimed. He was prepared for
battle, but not for BOKAR, a demon unlike any he'd ever seen before. Dismay filled
the Companions as VENGEANCE fell before the creature BOKAR in a one minute fight.
4) TEETOTALER (38-326) (154-63-8,9) of MISCELLANEOUS II saw his captain go down, and
the distraction cost him dear, as he was set upon by QEI, JAGUAR WARRIOR; the jungle-
dweller slashed fiercely at the champion, TEETOTALER, who gave no quarter, but,
alas, fell in two minutes.
5) PSYCHO SCIENTIST (18-697) (96-75-3,13) of MAD SCIENTISTS ventured into the Gateway
to search through the dense jungles. He penetrated as deeply as one of the many
Temples that had been in the reports when he found TOTATIZ standing guard over a
vast, forbidding tomb. PSYCHO SCIENTIST immediately attacked, but was repelled by
the powerful horror that was called TOTATIZ; in two minutes, the valiant Lord
Protector had fallen.
6) NORIEL (51-1488) (68-54-0,65) of COLD STEEL hailed the Companions as she ventured
out of the Keep and into the Gateway to the jungle; a horrid jaguar demon fell on her
from the trees, a sound that made all within hearing cringe as TALONS OF THUNDER
dropped onto the Lady Protector. NORIEL was unprepared for such an assault, and
the TALONS OF THUNDER slew her in one minute.
7) SHAWN THORNTON (29-1359) (75-92-4,102) of PUT UP YOUR DUKES saw Noriel fall to the
demon and, charged as he had been with her safety, dove into the fray with no
thought for himself. TALONS OF THUNDER, distracted from the first kill, turned
eagerly towards the oncoming Lord Protector. Alas, though his heart was in the right
place, SHAWN THORNTON was slaughtered by TALONS OF THUNDER in one minute. Skek
ventured out of the Keep to recover their bodies.
8) JEREMY (17-1642) (80-74-3,93) of YELLOW SUBMARINE spread out from his Companions,
sickened and fearful at the death of his captain, but did not quail when he saw THE
JAGUARD coming towards him through the dense jungle foliage. This name he had heard!
This demon was spoken of by the ones that they had captured! JEREMY bravely prepared
for the fight, his weapon held high, but THE JAGUARD was quicksilver. The Lord
Protector was slain in one minute. Skek was very busy this fortnight!
9) MOLLY RINGWALD (52-520) (69-42-4,103) of PRETTY THINGS crept through the jungle
towards where she knew the river was. She found herself face to face with a WATER
LIZARD, who set on her with fangs and talons without allowing her a chance to defend.

THE BIFF RIPPER
I'm sure by now everybody has heard of the `Biff' warrior. You know, those high
strength, wit and deftness strikers or bashers or whatever that pad your win/loss
record but have no real long term potential due to their low will. Well, I've
developed a new `Biff' warrior. The Biff Ripper. That's right. A parry-riposte.
Rippers are by far the style that I've had the most success with. From the
experience I gained with my first couple rippers, I decided to design a power ripper
who could tear apart TPs and WoSs. The first things I noticed about the style was
their inherent ability to conserve endurance. Or rather their ability to fight very
offensively with moderate numbers. This combined with a decent CN and some armor (ARM
or ASM) will win a ripper many fights early in their career. They take a few hits and
parry a few until the last offensive warrior tires and defense lowers enough for the
ripper to hit him. You see, a ripper's only bonus appears in riposte, probably the
most worthless skill area in the long run. Early on their attack, parry and defense
is going to suck. That's what the con and armor is for. I don't like the idea of a
low con ripper. By definition, they are a defensive style. Trying and running them
offensively may work sometimes, but not enough to be consistent.
But I digress. I decided to try and design a ripper who could dominate the lower
tourneys. From past experience, I determined that a ripper who could dominate the
lower tourneys. From past experience, I determined that a ripper with normal
endurance could run for a long time with moderate numbers. This, coupled with good
damage or better would tear apart low skill TP's and walls of steel. So I came up
with this design.
The 17 strength ensures good damage at a minimum and the high con gives him
normal endurance and hit points. This is Thunder Rygar, by the way. His tourney
record is 69-24-1 including 4 TV's and a Novice TC. Up until he got tossed in the
Primus Eligible Tournament, he failed to go 10 rounds only once. As I predicted, he
destroyed the slow styles. The majority of his losses early in his career came from
warriors who hit him REAL HARD right off the bat. It seems the low will made him
susceptible to being one-shotted.
The 17 strength, along with the damage ability, gives a couple of very essential
attack skills. The 15 defense is a minimum for PRs. This type of design should win
you a lot of fights through most stages of its career. Of course the low will makes
this a short team warrior, but hey, Thunder Rygar trained his will and wit twice in
four turns. You never know. By far he has been my most efficient warrior. He left
DM with a 15-0 record and has gone 16-12 in Darkholm (the toughest ADM arena) never
dropping lower than the Grand Champions since he broke up there.

I know there's been countless articles on the Dark Arena; but after being in the
game for about four years, I've come up with a few ideas about the subject.
First of all, using the DA constantly will not only lower a team's winning
percentage, but it will most likely frustrate you as you get loser roll-up after loser
roll-up waiting for the "perfect roll-up." Secondly, if you never give a warrior a
chance, he/she/it will never win. I am quite familiar with these situations as I've
DA'd many fighters early in my career in this game.
But occasionally you just can't help yourself and you feel you have to use the DA
and give the "roll-up gods" one more chance. Here are some guide lines I'm using now
to maximize and limit my use of the DA.
1) If I get a roll-up that is really messed up. A roll-up like this might look
like 4-15-17-3-4-17-10, 15-4-15-4-17-12-3, or 17-4-15-13-4-13-4 (Though the last one
might make a good basher).
2) If the fighter's a "Dixie" warrior (one that will win early, then lose for
the rest of his career).
3) The fighter roll-up is good, but he just finds ways to lose every fight and
never learn skills (I'm killing off a 1-5 Pl this turn who fits this category).
Of course, all of this is warrior dependent. I've passed on some of these
requirements and ended up mildly surprised and I've followed them and regretted it
later. Here are some examples:
My only slasher to make it do ADM was 5-4-0 and had lost his last 3 fights. He
only averaged 1 skill per fight. His stats were 13-5-9-11-17-13-15. The only reason
he wasn't DA'd was that all my other fighters were messed up roll-ups that were being
DA'd that turn and I needed someone to bloodfeud. He finished about 19-9-0.
I had a dixie striker DA'd after going about 10-3-0. His stats were 11-11-10-11-
9-15-17. I probably errored in letting him go. He was averaging 2-3 skills per
fight.
I currently have a wall of steel that I would've normally DA'd right off the bat
due to a "messed-up roll-up," but because I had a "No DA" policy for 10 turns he got
to live. Miraculously HE'S 18-8-1 AND MIGHT MAKE IT TO ADM.
Naturally the choice to use the DA is yours, but I've noticed that top managers
use it sparigly. I welcome any suggestions on the subject.
