                            RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP

Warriors of Gateway, I bring you greetings!

     A new power has risen to the top of the arena rankings winning handly in a 
challenge match to sieze the day and ascend the heights of the Gate Commanders' 
throne.  The new head honcho is Wallbanger of Dark Foundation, let's see how long he 
can hold onto it.  Of course with the way that the title has been being passed around 
lately, and with the strength of the competition my money would have to say "not for 
long."  Speaking of competition, have you noticed that we have not one but TWO insects 
in the top ten?  Gypsy Moth and Baron Cockroach.  Kind of a disgrace if you ask me.  
Is this to be an arena of men or a circus for the amusement of lesser organisms?
     Lesser organisms.  That phrase has sort of stuck in my brain since I watched the 
shadowy outlines of the Teetotaler's fight in the Gate versus the chaos creature known 
as Itsorkarri.  Ever since then I've been waking up in the middle of the night with 
the shout of "DIE, LESSER ORGANISM!!!" reeling through my brain.  I wish these Chaos 
creatures could lighten up, ya know?!?  I mean, seriously, they take the whole 
conquest of the universe thing way too seriously.
     You know what my problem really is?  I've been hanging out with Soulflayer of the 
Bloodstone Orcs WAY to much lately.  I mean that guy is really heavy.  Think about it, 
he flays souls... yyrrrrggg.  Believe me, you do not want to get into a philisophical 
argument with this guy.  That is, not unless you mind hearing comments like "True, 
Zontani, but then if I were to slice another 10th part of your soul away do you think 
you might incline to concede the point?"  
     Can you believe how poorly that the slashing attack style has been doing in the 
overall rankings?  I mean any style that can take one fine warrior and turn him into 
two separate pieces of waste bluber deserves a little more standing don't you think?  
A lot of my people have been wispering that it's not so much the style that has a 
problem as the practitioners who use it here at Gateway.  Say it isn't so!
     Well that's enough rumour, innuendo and downright lies for one week.  Until next 
we meet keep your eye on the prize... and another eye on her husband!

Greetings, all -- 'Tis I, Voo-Doo.  For those of you who know Lord Xiang (Steve 
Allain) and his wife Lady Xiang (Ursula) and even those managers who don't, on June 
19th the birth of their first child occurred.  This is a tremendous event that I would 
like to share with you all as Lord & Lady Xiang are great friends of mine.  After 
sixteen grueling hours of labor (must be like waiting for your Duelmasters turns in 
the mail eh?), a beautiful 8 lb 9 ounce baby girl was born to the name of Kyra.  I 
would just like to send my sincere congratulations to Lord & Lady Xiang and my best 
wishes for a happy and healthy little baby girl. <smile> -- Always your friend, Chris/

                                  KHALHUMS CONTEST

     OK, all you bloodthirsty 'larquan types, just stop reading... you've been 
warned... I said...  stop!

OK, you asked for it!

Announcing a DIFFERENT type of contest:

The Khalhums All-Star Rip-Blow Contest
(Khalhums is arena 53, and noted for being probably the most care-bear arena in the 
Andorian League--if you don't like this style of play... WHY ARE YOU STILL READING 
THIS!)

The contest:
Get the first Aim Blow and/or Parry-Rip to ADM (It's two--two--two contests in 1!)

You may run as many or as few entrants per team as you like.  All entrants must be 
NEWLY created after the contest start date (turn 165, due date 8/13/96)

[I am currently debating whether or not a new team counts as 'NEWLY' created]

Catch 1:
Non contestants are allowed, nay, ENCOURAGED to fight contestants... However, 
downchallenges are NOT permitted!  If you down challenge a contestant warrior, you are 
eliminated from the contest!

Catch 2:
Killing contestants, even accidentally, is not allowed!!!  These are PRs and ABs, 
after all!  If your contestant kills another contestant, they are removed from the 
contest!  If your non-contestant CHALLENGES and kills a contestant, your highest 
ranking contestant is removed from the contest!

Catch 3:
The manager of the top-ranked entrants MUST write a spotlight on the next turn, or 
have that warrior ELIMINATED from the contest!  The spotlight doesn't have to be good, 
or long, but it should be at least wacky.  If you have both leaders, you only have to 
write one.

Like I said, this isn't a contest for everyone...
There is no prize; it's not meant to determine the best `anything' -- it's just for 
fun.

PUG

                               ACCURATE DATA NEEDED!!!

     I have a favor to ask of every manager who has ever had a warrior train a stat 
and AT THE SAME TIME, achieved a rating.  ESPECIALY if, for example, the warrior in 
question was say at 18 attack skills needing two more for the Ad Ex, trains ST to a 
15, and recieves the rating.  The way I see it, we've got so many people playing and 
more importantly, training, that if we were to collect the data which I have so humbly 
requested in one location, an accurate skill chart could be derived.  It is of utmost 
importance that as many people as possible participate in this experiment.  I'm sure 
there are managers who have been playing for centuries and have accumulated quite a 
bit of data on there own and may consider this a waste of time.  So be it.  Keep in 
mind, though, IT WILL BE BY SHEER VOLUME ALONE THAT WE REACH THIS GOAL!!  Again, I 
urge everyone, even if you've only got one warrior that just so happened to train a 
stat and got a rating, to send it in!!  You may be the proverbial "straw that broke 
the camel's back."  

     I hope everyone participates, especialy those of you I know.
     Please send the following info:
          1. Style of warrior
          2. Approximate date of creation (July '93, or even summer of '93) 
          3. Stat trained (Wit)
          4. Level of attribute (13 to a 14)
          5. Rating achieved (Ad EX Parry)

The following info is not necessary, but very useful:
          6. Known skill level prior to train (definately had 24 Init skills prior to 
train).  This must be precise in order to determine # of skills acquired.   

     Results made available ASAP... you're on your time people!)  Thanks!

                                     "The Basher"

     My friends would laugh if they knew I was writing this, but who cares what they 
think?  The basher is not a bad style in my opinion.  It starts with the same base 
decisiveness as the striker, but has 4-5 more skills in initiative, and 3-4 more 
skills in att.  That's what makes this style so good.  I mean, you have the ability to 
get the jump on your opponent, you have the ability to hit your opponent, and who 
cares about their high riposte with your high att rating combined with your exp+ in 
initiative, they won't know what train hit them, much less think about the counter 
attack.  

O.K.  I only make two types 1st the WL Basher:

#1      #2       
12      13
10      11
10      9
21      16
15      15
9       13
7        7

Example #1--Currently 8-3-1 in Firehold (68) has Master+1 att, Master +1 init., and 
Adv.Exp. dec., and is already sitting pretty with 80 recognition points.

Example #2--Currently 8-3-0 in Jhans(36) has Exp.+3 att, Adv.Exp. init., and Exp+3 
dec. with 87 recognition points.

     O.K., the other kind I like to call it the "High damage, low will, needs to end 
the fight before he passes out with exhaustion" Basher.  This type of basher relies on 
his high damage capabilities to make up for his low WL.  I've not had the best of luck 
with these types of bashers, but I do know they can win (Warbeast has proved that to 
me).  The key is to get at least great damage on the roll-up.  O.K. some examples:

#1      #2      #3    
11      13      17
11       9      12
16      17      10 
17      17      17
7       10      11
11      11      10
11       7       7

Example #1--I DA'ed, he didn't win
Example #2--Killed in round 1 of the winter FTF, went 4-3 in the Oct. Tournament, 
learned 6 skills 5 being Att.
Example #3-1-0 in Jhans(36)

     I run both styles ALE +L, WH light armor, mace medium armor, and WH heavy armor.  
Go 10-10-7 dec 1st minute, and after min 1, go 8-8-5.  WL basher, and the other kind 
drop down drastically.  Always aim for the head (it gets you an att bonus and could 
score you a kill every now and then) unless you know you're gonna be up against a TP 
or waste, then aim for a leg.  Well that's gonna be it.  Somebody write me and tell me 
what you think.

                                    My Philosophy

Greetings Warriors,

     I have recently read `THE ULTIMATE ROLL-UP' with mighty interest and thought I 
might pose a few comments or questions in your mind.  I have titled this brief letter 
`My Philosophy' because it's what I have believed to be the only way of getting an 
ultimate warrior.  I haven't been able to prove this myself yet becuase unlike the 
writer of the previously named letter I do not search for the overall ultimate roll-
up, a roll-up where one can make almost any style warrior.  I am endlessly searching 
for what I call the ultimate offensive/defensive warrior roll-up.  
     Although the first time I played Duelmasters was more than 8 years ago, I only 
played for about 11 turns before running out of money.  That is, till a few months 
ago.  During those 8 years, although I acquired no real fighting experience I had lots 
of time, believe me, to daydream on the most awesome warrior the arena sands had ever 
seen.  and my thoughts were as follows:
     The real ultimate warrior is one that is fast, quick to draw, able to parry or 
dodge anything.  A warrior that hits repetitively in the right places.  A warrior that 
because of its characteristics requires almost no constitution or size, and average or 
small strength.  If you follow my thoughts, imagine the following warrior:

Roll-up + 14 points             Train                Total
-------------------             -----                -----
Strength         11                +3                   14
Constitution      3                +3                    6
Size              3                                      3
Wit              18                +3                   21
Will             18                +3                   21
Speed            13                +3                   16
Deftness         18                +3                   21

     This warrior, as you can see, has incredible defensive capabilities, but will not 
have to use them against many warriors, having a good chance of initiating attacks and 
keeping the advantage.  You might say, `Yes, he's great doing everything.  But he 
would probably get tired against a very good TP!'  You are right!  Let's make it a 
striker so that he uses economy of motion.  In the first few fights train 
constitution.  You will easily get to 5 or 6.  Now, that is not very much either.  But 
when you think about it you will find that this warrior will hit anything that moves 
in a high percentage.  With the right strategy, even a TP with a very high will 
falter.
     One thing that seems to attract my attention is the low use of Speed in 
duelmasters.  In this case you might think that we could give him a low sped and use 
it somewhere else.  But seeing it my way, the warrior will be able to go 7-7-7 or 
lower and therefore last more rounds and still be able to dodge anything thrown at 
him.  If he does not, he would parry it.  If he doesn't, he is fighting another 
ultimate warrior.
     My infatuation with the number 18 for stats is simple.  With a will of 18 it is 
pretty easy to advance 3 points for each stats except Size, of course.  Imagine the 
same warrior after you have trained enough.  14-6-3-21-16-21.  This will make him 
unstoppable.
     Yes, he might get some more wins if he were to have, say 21 in wit at the 
beginning.  But in my opinion that is wasting a valuable 3 points that could have been 
used somewhere else.  Give him some skills now, and you will find that he learns 
faster than anything you have seen.  And that nothing can stop him.
     As I said before, I haven't had the lucky chance to prove my theory either yet, 
or for that matter to get even close, so I would really appreciate, if you have any 
warriors close to these stats to contact me and to my enjoyment find out how well they 
are doing in the sands.  Or if you have any comments or other ideas, that would be 
great too.  Thanks for listening.
