                                  WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT

To the Bold:

     I must thank Teetotaler for his taking up the mantle of public relations for the 
Companions.  I've been struggling with the G.C. reprtesentatives to have my proper 
record restored.  This battle has proven even more difficult than my recent feats 
versus the Chaos Spawn, but only barely.  This T'Zeexiqual was a horrible demon out of 
hell.  It took me almost 8 minutes to put it to death.
     Still, the apathy of the masses to the threat these creatures pose our homeworld 
is amazing to me.  Only the Companions and the occasional outsider (congrats, Reggie, 
your help was appreciated!) dare to reduce the numbers of the enemy.
     Why is this?  Do the many heroic warriors here prefer to wallow in their 
discontent that the Gate was not what they expected?  The goals remain: destroy the 
Chaos Horde or fall before them.  It is that simple!
     I charge you!  On turn 22, join with the Companions to assault the foe!  Let us 
bring the battle to them.  Show the Chaos Minions that we do not plan to fall down and 
die before the apathy, the malaise which has fallen like a plague upon us!
     Turn 22!  DEFEND THE GATE!

                            RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP

     Huzzahh Campers, you guessed it, it is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster 
extrordinaire and all around knowledgable fellow.  This week I would like to talk to 
you about a sensitve but very important topic... body odor.  We all have it, its a 
part of life in the gladitorial games, it's nature's way, BUT GEEEEZ WE COULD DO WITH 
A LITTLE LESS OF IT AROUND HERE!!!  Can you say shower?  Thank you, I knew you could.  
At first I thought it was just me, like maybe I had stepped in a lizard pattie or 
something you know?  But bit by bit it has begun to dawn on me that most of you 
primates haven't seen the inside of a shower or bathtub since we came through the 
gate.  So for those of you who didn't learn them from your mama, let's review a few 
basic rules of personal hygiene shall we?
     First, When your fight is over, go get a bucket and some rags and wash the blood 
off.  Whether it's yours or theirs doesn't make any difference.  And no, getting 
killed or sent to the imfirmary does not constitute a valid excuse for avoiding your 
post fight wash.
     Second, follow the ten foot rule.  If the people around you always seek to 
maintain a ten foot distance then you know that its been too long since your last 
shower or bath.  Go take one. Do not pass go.  Do not collect 200 gold pieces.
     Third and last, "never get high on another's supply".  Quite simply that means 
don't get so used to being foul smelling that you actually start to enjoy hanging out 
with other sweaty gladiators at the training hall.  Learn to enjoy being clean, and if 
you have to smell something vile, come by my house when I'm brewing swamp ale.  If 
that doesn't fix you then nothing will.
     All right, hopefully that settles that and I won't have to 
raise the topic again (at least for a while).  In terms of events 
at the games this week, the biggest news is that Tagan in still 
on top, this time carrying out a sentance on Executioner to 
retain the Gate Commander's title.  Towords the end of the fight 
I heard the crowd start chanting "Delbaeth, Delbaeth, Delbaeth" 
so I guess they want to see him get a crack at Tagan's sensitive 
bits before too much longer.  Strangley there was also one guy in the 
stands that I overheard chanting "Ferndok, Ferndok, Ferndok".  
Buy you know how that goes -- there is always somebody willing to 
root for the Underdogs. 
     In other exciting matchups this week Vengeance got waxed by Quetziquatl in the 
Gate, while back at the castle arena Delbaeth took out Reggie Jackson.
     Take a shower, guys.

All: You know me as ST, and I've recently put a request for info on stat trains and 
ratings.  I appreciate the response thus far but am afraid there are a lot more of you 
with pertinent info who have either 1. been to busy to research the data, or 2. been 
too darn lazy to get off your backside and contribute to the good of mankind (and 
womankind too...gota be p.c. these days!).  I trust it's the former.  So come on 
people, send me some info!!  BTW, my E-mail address has changed so listen up.  It is 
now sandlin@telis.org  Thanks! -- Mike aka ST

Longshot)

                                  Retiring Warriors

     Greetings, Joy and Happiness everywhere.  I hope that all who play Duelmasters 
enjoy it to a great extent.  Duelmaster can be enjoyable for many years, if you know 
how to utilize it for maxium enjoyment.  I have decided to write an article that deals 
with when its time to retire a warrior.
     After generating a warrior and playing him for time, you begin to get attached to 
him/her.  If the warrior is winning you get a sort of fascination about him/her, and 
it makes you more willing to hang on to him regardless of his long term effectiveness.  
If he begins to lose consistantly, it becomes less entertaining to you.  This is why 
you need to know when to `give it up' and let him retire.
     When I create a warrior I decide right then and there, if he will be a long term 
or short term warrior.  If he is a short term warrior, I determine ruffly how long he 
has until I retire him.  For example:  Gronk the Basher, has 17-5-16-17-11-9-9, and 
great damage.  Well, he was designed to play in Basic for awhile and for one tourney 
in the Novices.  He played 3 regular arena fights and was sent to the novices tourney 
and got a TV (8-2-0).  I then retired him, realizing he had no long term potential.  
He had served his purpose, and I got maxium entertainment value out of him.  Scummy 
TPs also are great short term warriors.
     Long term potential warriors have to meet certain requirements in order for me to 
keep them for the long haul.   The first requirment is that the warrior have a minimum 
of 45 points bewteen WIT, WILL, and DEFTNESS.  I like to have  a least a 15 WILL also.  
The second thing I look at is their skill bases, or starting skills.  For long term, I 
like around a minimum of around 60 starting skills, with ATTACK no less than 12, 
defense no less 12.  And for parry styles no less than 9 starting parry skills, and 7 
attack skills.  The higher the attack base skills for the defensive styles the longer 
I will keep them.  Anything that doesn't fall within those guidelines is considered a 
short term warrior.  Short term meaning he/she will never go to Primus.
     Well, I hope this can give any newer mgrs an idea about how effective the 
warriors will be in the long run.  If you just absolutely stuck on playing a warrior 
you like a lot but he is a loser, you can always send him to HOME GUARD to fight with 
the other Losers... <grin>.  Home Guard can be a fun arena, but it is a different kind 
of fun, more a role playing thing.
     Time to go and milk the cows.  If you want to chat Duelmasters, give me a shout.  
Send a Diplo to DM 11, Lords of the Abyss(319) or any of the Joker's Wilds that are 
scattered about.  You can also email me at 103260.3347@compuserve.com
