WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT
RRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGGGG! "Yes... hello? Yes, the check's in the mail; would you please
stop bothering me? Yes, I know I told you the same thing a couple of weeks ago.
Well... I did send it! It must have gotten lost in the mail or something. I'll check
to make certain that it wasn't cashed, and then I'll get a replacement check in the
mail right away. Okay? What?? Yes, of course I'm telling you the truth!"
Finally getting rid of one of his many creditors, Scrag hung up the phone. He had
been getting calls like that all day, as well as many other days prior for quite some
time now.
Scrag's "living large" was finally catching up to him. He sat way back in his big
comfortable easy chair, which was just about the only possession he had left. He lit
up a hand-rolled cigar from Niania and blew out a huge cloud of smoke. He now only
had two left. Expensive cigars were just one of his many extravagances. Past
extravagances, that is. He looked around at the interior of his once full house that
was now practically devoid of furnishings. The easy chair, a small table with an
antique ashtray from Vithicar, and a modest bed in his sleeping chamber were now
about all that were left in his once impressive estate. The bank had long ago
foreclosed on his home; he would have to vacate the premises within the week.
Scrag wondered to himself how he had gotten into such a predicament, but he knew very
well what: overspending. Many years of huge profits had made him complacent. He felt
as if it would never end. The money just rolled in faster than he could spend it.
Fine wines, the best cigars, gourmet food, and the most beautiful women in all of
Alastari were once the norm for Scrag. But that was all over now. His income went
sour several years ago when more and more newer managers started to prove their
prowess and were able to compete with him. He became lazy and stopped putting in the
study that he needed to in order to compete and stay on top of his game. That made
the problem even more acute, and his income continued to decline. For years now he
earned less and less gold with which to fill his coffers, but he refused to change his
overly extravagant spending habits. This exacerbated the problem even further. He
had gotten himself into a hole that was so deep that he couldn't find his way out.
Scrag found that he had to start selling off his assets simply to support his habits.
His stables grew smaller and smaller, causing his income to fall even further still.
Over time he finally managed to cut out unnecessary luxuries, but now it was getting
to the point that he had to sell off possessions merely to survive. It was quite
devastating for the once powerful man. For the first time in his life he had to
seriously consider getting out of the game entirely.
Would he even have to sell Furious Impaler? That thought sent shivers down his spine.
He could sell his house, he could sell his jewels, but Furious Impaler was one thing
that he would have a very hard time giving up. His one truly great achievement, his
very pride and joy, was now at grave risk of being lost forever.
RRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGGGG! There it was again: that infernal phone! Scrag considered not
answering it at all, but he was in contact with several other managers that were
making offers on his various assets. If this was not the case, he probably would have
had his phone disconnected long ago.
"Hello? Yes, this is Scrag. Hey TUM, how are you doing? That's good to hear. Yeah,
I'm doing just fine, you know me. Oh, okay, don't have time to chat, eh? Calling on
business? 40 gold for Scragglepuss? Well, that's not as much as I was expecting.
How about 70? No, can't do it, eh? 50 you say? Well, tell you what... I know I
shouldn't, but just give me 55 and you've got a deal. You know you're getting the
bargain of the century at that price! Yeah, okay. I'll have ownership papers on your
desk within a few hours. Yeah, thanks, TUM. Talk to you later. Good luck with him."
Scrag just shook his head in disgust. 55 gold for a warrior as good as Scragglepuss?
Geez, he had to be desperate. This small amount would get him by for the next few
days, but he knew it wasn't even close to enough to take care of his needs; it wasn't
even enough to pay the interest on his massive debt.
It was time to act; he had to do it now. If he contacted Papa Bear now he would be
able get his debt down to a more managable figure. Oh sure, Scrag still had other
assets, but all of his other possessions combined did not likely add up to the value
that Furious Impaler could command all on his own. Besides, Scrag needed the money
now. The small amounts that were trickling in for his other possessions were simply
not enough to make a significant difference in his current state of affairs. He
needed a large windfall all at once, and he needed it fast.
Scrag reached for the telephone. His hands started to shake, and large beads of sweat
formed on his forehead and began streaming down his face. He tried to convince
himself that he had no emotional attachment. It was all business, after all, and Papa
Bear had actually made a reasonable offer, but it was a difficult argument to sell to
himself. Furious Impaler was his pride and joy, his baby, the manifestation of all
that he had accomplished in the Duelmasters games. But now it was over. Scrag's
reign as one of the best and most feared managers in all of Alastari was about to come
crashing down to a premature end.
He dialed. "Yes, hello Papa. I accept. All the arrangements are in the works, and
Furious will be packing his belongings and moving to your stablehouse within the
week." Papa Bear knew this was an emotional moment for Scrag. Being the honorable
and considerate man that he was, Papa did not keep him on the phone any longer than he
had to. Scrag closed the conversation simply by saying, "Good luck with him, Papa."
That was that. Scrag hung up the phone, and it was done.
RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP
Greetings, Gateway. Oscar here, reporting on this round's fights here in our
fine arena.
First things first, the fight for the top spot. Our contender, Sly, was TV
challenged by Frog Princes' Goldilocks. Goldilocks put on a good show, showing some
stamina while fighting our Captain. Six minutes later, though, Sly had defeated his
challenger. Congratulations, Sly, for holding the top spot!
A whole slew of warriors travelled out of the keep to slay gate monsters this
time. Less than half of them came back alive. Apparently, about two-days journey
from the keep, while investigating some strange shrieking coming from a dense copse,
they were attacked by a large number of beasts. Oddly enough, there was one beast per
warrior. G.I. Joe was the first one out, slain by a Xozke. Teetotaler fought a
Jaguar Warrior and slaughtered it in two minutes. Donatello viciously butchered a
Firecat. Sgt Slaughter slew a Spirit of the Jaguar. But Vengeance was assassinated
by a strange creature called The Jaguard. Ashnak was slaughtered by a Jaccaranda. A
Shadow Being took Psycho Scientist down. Poor Skylas Takarin was attacked by an
Invisible, and after a long fight, it got the upper hand and killed him. Teetotaler,
Donatello, and Sgt Slaughter collected the remains of their comrades and returned to
the keep, where the dead were resurrected.
No surprises, Thundr + Litening was most avoided, by Superior Forces. Again.
Juanita of Moles was the most challenged warrior. Arious Al'Vere of Donated by
Doc got his challenge through, and defeated the lower-ranked warrior in two minutes.
The movers and shakers this week: The Couatl (#44) TV challenged Honey Hanna
(#54) and lost. Oops. Leonardo (#56) lost to Jack Rabbit (#73). Hammer of the Gods
(#38) was defeated by Alice (#49). Malador (#93) bested Aurora Borealis (#81).
T'sain (#78) lost to Changeling (#95). Mamma (#68) was defeated by Sir Backbreaker
(#107). Orange Hell (#83) was beaten by Kiri (#98). Thumper (#167) lost to German
Shepherd (#214). Dark Prophet (#64) challenged and lost to The Intruder (#87).
Imhullu (#77) lost to The Black Knight (#100). Livius (#79) lost to Panda (#97).
Warlock (#119) was bested by Finger Puppet (#209). Water Moccasin (#124) lost to
Molly Ringwald (#156). Hemlock (#139) was defeated by Khy II (#170). Steve Bard
(#113) was defeated by Miriya (#159). Lab Support (#133) was demolished by The Dragon
(#185). Allunder the Grate (#181) demolished Laniakea (#166). Gnarly Gnat (#153) was
beaten by Chili Con Carnage (#169). And finally, Quandary (#199) handily defeated
Prancer (#177).
In the top eleven, Maimed (#10) challenged Hawk (#7) and lost. Rage (#4) barely
bested Executioner (#13). Furious Impaler (#6) pummelled Daphne (#19). Cheshire Cat
(#9) almost lost to Ferndok (#16), but not quite. Aggirf (#22) was viciously subdued
by Nameless Took (#8). Vengeance (#2), Sgt. Slaughter (#3), Tee (#5) and Donny (#6)
fought gate denizens. Sly (#1) bested Goldilocks (#11).
Looks like Neon had the upper hand this time in the "Forever War." There were
three challenges this week, Doc Steele making two and Neon one, and all three
challengers lost. Dark Prophet (#64) was bested by The Intruder (#87), Selleque
(#130) lost to Plunder (#108), and The Great Skeeve (#158) lost to Mother Hollie
(#200). Interestingly enough, Neon's only loss was in an up-challenge, while Doc's
losses were down-challenges. Hmmm.
This isn't horseshoes, but a few almost-upsets deserve mention: Necron-99 (#90)
almost bested Afterafterbirth (#39). Park Place (#111) almost lost to Let's Be
Friends (#155). Nicodemus (#114) almost lost to Stepping Stones (#201).
Scrag retained the #1 spot although he didn't fight this week. The Dark One
still holds #2, Sentinel still holds #3, Neon is at #4 with 69.5%, and Doc Steele is
at #5 with 69.3%. Neck in neck, I see.
Bashers went 4-2 and Total Parries went 9-5 this round. Well done.
That's all I have for this round. Until next time, I remain,
Oscar

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Kaikwok? What kind of name is Kaikwok? Hey Randy! I'll meet you at the Qui Quag
Cafe in Kaikwok, K? :P Kwaikok would at least roll off the tongue better and its got
a bit of innuendo working for it. Why not just Gateway? Simple, original for its
minimalism. Then there are the "cool" name alternatives: Hell's Gate, The Abyss, The
Hole, The Toilet Seat, etc. Just follow this simple formula for naming: cool +
original + simple > cool + original > cool > original > simple, with the caveat that
original often = lame. So, it won't break my heart to see the utterance "kaikwok"
disappear from the Duelmasters nomenclature.
Who wrote this? Are you too chicken to sign your personal ads? Cheez. -- Oscar
Hey YO! Animal Man! Waaazzzzzzup? -- Rhialto
Neon -- 13-10 my lead in the forever war. 10-2 my lead if we do not count your
whores. -- Doc Steele
Dr. Surfer -- Make sure to let me know when you give Kahanamoku a "real" strategy so I
know when my victories against him are "real." -- Doc Steele
Dr. Surfer again -- My advice for running mode or off style warriors is to retire them
if they don't train well. I have retired many of these types of warriors lately when
I realized they just were not getting ahead of the training curve. In arena play a
warrior of this type must be on the very bottom to win more than he loses. In the
tourney you must be one of the best 25 warriors at that time to TV. Even as a spoiler
type tourney warrior that is only running to help your better warriors you need to be
pretty damn good. The sad reality is that barring major changes to the arena
structure that include some sort of forced retirement, mode warriors and off style
warriors that are not already maxed will never amount to much of anything in Gateway.
It cost me a lot of money to realize this so I thought I would give you the advice for
free. Take it for what it is worth and good luck. -- Doc Steele
Neon Nemesis -- I see you are throwing fights with Psycho to get him in range of my
warriors. I'll bet you didn't expect to have to do that when you started this little
feud? When we agreed to make this a war I thought I would get beat up for a while
until my warriors developed and then pass you later down the road. But with this 13-
10 lead I am starting to think this will get embarrassing for you later down that
road. So bring Psycho on! I don't think his 1 auto loss a turn will hurt me too
much. I think the only way you can save yourself is to get on your knees and beg me
to forgive you and let you off the hook. I promise you that the first thrown-fight-
weak-ass-Psycho-TV challenge loss I take will be the end of that chance for you. Have
a good forever war, my friend. -- Doc Steele
If any begging goes on, I hope it's at a FTF so the rest of us can see it.
-- Oscar
Sentinel -- Only you or Neon the Fight Thrower could spoil a 13-3 turn by being 2 of
those 3 loses. Damn your overdeveloped warriors! You won't be hearing from me for a
few months. My boys need some trains before they run with the big dogs. Bring in
some fresh Eligibles meat, would ya? -- Doc Steele
Ronin -- Hmmmm... You beat Psycho in 2 minutes. Let me guess Psycho mysteriously
forgot his weapons again, right? Man, that has got to be aggravating to get shot up
to 12th by Neon like that. Sorry you got caught in the crossfire of our war. -- Doc
Steele

Are You Ready To Take Tournament Play Seriously?
By: Pagan
The following advice is a great general way to excel in tournament play. It is
intended more for a Face-to-Face Tournament, however much of the same advice also goes
for a Mail-In Tournament....
FE = Fight equivalency. This is the term used by managers to denote how many
fights RSI has registered for a warrior. One arena fight equals One FE. Simple.
Tournament fights are the reason FE has become the thing to follow. Tournaments give
to one FE for every odd round. So one FE on round one, two FE on round three, three
FE on round five... and so on. If a warrior fights for eight rounds he will have
accumulated four FE. If that same warrior also has six arena fights, then he would
now have a total of ten FE. Learn this, and understand it.
1. Stop fighting warriors from your active teams at breakpoints and wait for the
Freeze date, then start running them, and enter them in the tourney. A good roll-up
will give you a chance for a TV, and average roll-up will give you skill learns. If
they die, then so be it. Try and get the maximum number of fights per area, and wait
for the cut-off date to be announced so you can go into a tournament with 2+ fights
over the breakpoints. (Example: Your warrior has four fights so he's an Apprentice,
and you then start to run him in the arena after the Freeze date is past. Your
warrior will still fight in the Apprentices but with extra fights, and hopefully extra
skills.)
Breakpoints:
Rookies = zero FE
Novices = zero FE as of Freeze date
Apprentices = 1 to 4 FE as of the Freeze date
Initiates = 5 to 10 FE as of the Freeze date
Adepts = 11 to 20 FE as of the Freeze date
Champions = 21+ FE as of the Freeze date
2. Check out all of your other warriors in inactive arenas that you think are
good roll-ups. If there are at least two on the same team then run that team for a
breakpoint in FE, wait for the Freeze date, then run them until the tourney. Don't
bother with roll-ups that do not have at least a 17 wit, or are not awesome for some
odd reason. (Example: A good endurance striker with tremendous damage and decent
attack skills in Initiates or lower...stuff like that....)
3. Team Roll-ups: Look for only good and excellent roll-ups. Look also for
Scum. You want to end up with a certain number of good warriors. Run only the good
warriors, and let the other ferment in RSI database hell because you need not waste
your time with them ever again. Don't DA them, ignore them, just buy more roll-ups.
Five bucks for five warriors is a much better deal than spending money DAing warriors
that are only for tournaments.
3a. Normal: Buy them in groups of 5. That's $25.
3b. Determined: Buy about 20 team roll-ups. That's $100.
4. This is a SYSTEM here so everyone pay attention:
4a. Send in Roll-ups early and load up a tournament arena or whatever, so you
can get the overviews back REALLY REALLY early.
4b. Scum go for Rookie tourney. Run only really good Scum set-ups. You all
know how to check those physicals for Luck. If not, then you need to learn.
4c. Aimed Blows for Rookie Tourney. Again, check those Luck areas. If they
aren't lucky, or a really nice set-up, run something else.
4d. Prepare to run all of the nice roll-ups you have that are lucky in the
Rookie tourney. Don't design them for a Rookie tourney, design them for the later
tourneys. After the tourney you can then calculate FE for warriors and they become
the warriors from #2 above. By doing this, you always keep a fresh group of good
warriors in the fights. Watch these guys in detail. Change weapons looking for a
favorite. They are not going to win the Rookie tourney (most likely). Just find that
weapon and you increase your opportunities in the next tourneys. Really nice to do at
the FTF since you can change strategies in every fight....
4e. RUN ALL OF YOUR WARRIORS OTHER THAN THE ROOKIES FIRST. Then pick out your
absolutely BEST rookies and get their strategies in. Early on you have to take the
time to WORK, so that later you can have the fun of getting late into the rounds on
Sunday.
4f. After the FTF you should have a good idea about where some of your warriors
are at in FE (some of the best ones end up 1-3-0 and then you fight twice in basic
arena and they run hard in the novices or whatever--just find that damn favorite
weapon!). Be prepared to not look deeply into a fight. Scan for criticals from
weapon attacks (you may have just found your favorite weapon!) and personal strategy
of your guy. Only care about your opponent if you end up matching up against him a
second time.
4g. KEEP PERSONAL RECORDS.
4g1. You should be able to list a warriors STATS, END, ENC, HP, & DMG on one
line and immediately following that line you should have ten boxes. You need to keep
track of every fight IMMEDIATELY, not later. Prepare that same warrior's fight
IMMEDIATELY, not later. Mark in the box if he wins or loses. Make it simple. You
should be able to scan one sheet of paper and know exactly how all of your warriors
are performing in wins and losses. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO FOCUS more attention on those
guys with one or less losses. Remove any confusion of what to do with fight sheets
(remember that you will have a lot of them). Just put all fight sheets in one big
pile, first on bottom, last one on top. (In case you need to get to them; like you
are meeting a warrior you fought before you know exactly where it is--it's in the
pile... not anywhere else.)
4g2. After all fights are done on Saturday, sit in the same room and prepare
your warriors for the Sunday morning. All turn sheets need to be in really early
Sunday, so prepare them while everything is in your head NOT AFTER DINNER.
4g3. At night in your room after you've visited with the managers, scan the
warriors you are most interested in and ESPECIALLY the ones with only one or less
losses. Bleed over those fights looking for that favorite weapon, better strategy vs.
certain styles... et cetera. Change the strategy sheet only if you REALLY think it's
better than the one you just made for that Sunday morning. If you aren't absolutely
sure, then don't change anything. Go with your first instinct and wait until after
the first fight on Sunday.
4g4. NEVER NEVER NEVER talk about how good your warriors are that are winning.
NEVER NEVER NEVER divulge strategy. NEVER NEVER NEVER offer to allow someone to look
at the warriors you have that are doing well. NEVER NEVER NEVER... this means even
your BEST FRIENDS. Some managers parlay in-between their groups but what do you do
when you match up against the guy who now knows A LOT about your best warrior? NO ONE
should have any idea of what you do to run a warrior. It is best if no one even knows
who the hell runs a certain warrior until there are only five left and that fifth one
is yours. Blindside everyone with your warrior. Never talk about him until you have
won the TC. AND ALWAYS MAKE A MENTAL NOTE of the bastard that just won that
tournament and the runner-up since you will probably be facing those same two warriors
down the line in another tourney.
4h. Remember to work on your warriors. The closer it gets to Sunday the more
free time you have, since you'll have a continually shrinking stream of guys to do
anything with. Elimination sucks but it is inevitable.
4i. FTF--Don't ever try to manage more than 30 warriors (and even that's
tough!). If you run more than that then I'd say 25-30 guys are managed by you in
every round, the others fend for themselves until they end up without a loss (gaining
your attention on your warrior win/loss sheet) or Sunday comes around. Best thing to
do about more than 30 warriors is to have them in the Rookie Tourney. Whatever makes
it to Sunday you start to change strategies for. Saturday is their time to shine by
themselves. This is possible since there are SO MANY WARRIORS in the Rookies tourney
that it's almost impossible to know what style you are fighting until round 5+. This
makes it easy for warriors to hide. Another thing you'd like to do is to spread your
warriors into various classifications. You're only hurting yourself if all 30
warriors are in the same class. A contingent of 15 Rookies, 10 Novices, 5
Apprentices, 5 Initiates, a few Adepts... you get the picture. If you run bad
warriors, you will be sitting around Sunday watching everyone else play. 30 good
warriors should keep you in the action.
4j. Style lists. At your table everyone put a style list out (hotel stapler can
be used). NAME NUMBER STYLE, that's it. If your group wants more, then make sure
that everyone is willing to do it. For example: 'Name', 'Number', 'Style',
'Handedness', 'Manager Who put the Name In', 'Round' (this way you can ask about a
warrior directly from the guy at your table who fought him). Don't waste your time
with anything else. Some managers share their styles. I am of the mind of not doing
it, but that also means that you won't get help from other managers' tables when you
start going around other to tables to ask if you can see their lists... so pick your
poison. Maybe just don't do it for your favorite warriors, and anything in the
rookies... whatever.... However, DO NOT LIE. If you decide to swap styles with
another manager you need to be truthful. Lying will get you outcast VERY QUICKLY.
Don't become the persona non grata.
4k. Sunday's late fights will eat you up sometimes. You know the guy's style...
he may be reading a fight you had with some other guy and he's trying to judge your
strategy... should I run decise... he may run decise... should I run response and
blast him out.... how about no tactic... he doesn't do any damage, I should armor
up... faster weapon... damn damn damn.... decisions, decisions. These are why the
managers whom win TCs like to play tournaments. Outguessing your opponent is quite a
bit of satisfaction, especially the old-time managers. It's a little bit infectious.
You won't even see Guardian come alive until it the last rounds, and there are many
like him. Go with your gut feeling and make the choice yourself. DO NOT TAKE THE
CHOICES FROM OTHERS. (There have been managers getting one guy to alter his
strategies, only after to tell the guy's opponent (who won, by the way) that he got
the guy to go decisive since he knew that HE (the opponent and winner) was running
responsive....) TRUST NO ONE... refer to #G4 if anything is unclear.
4l. After Sunday is over, (and you most probably won't have a TC) you can talk
DM with everyone else in the bar or at a restraunt, but this time stay around
Soultaker, Consortium and the DOOMcorps (if the Doom Group is still coherent from all
the booze) since they are the most fun (at least when I've gone). Talk about your
warriors then but not longer than five minutes on your WHOLE GROUP; everyone (just
like you) will be having DM hangovers... now is time for fun and Grudge-Matches. RSI
will sometimes allow managers to run one warrior as an extra fight versus any other
warrior (in the same tournament class) of a manager there at the FTF. Makes for some
fun.
4l1. Grudge-Matches. VERY IMPORTANT: Do not fight a in a grudge match that
will count as one FE if that FE is going to put him over the threshold of the next
tourney. Don't hurt yourself, just fight a different guy.
4m. Spend the time until the wee hours of the morning with any drunks that are
left. Have fun, and if you are staying Monday night too, then see who else is also
staying and join the group. As long as you are not a weirdo during the tourney, don't
smell bad (shower EVERY DAY--maybe even twice a day to avoid this, if necessary), and
aren't annoyingly talking about your warriors/teams then most DMers will be happy to
let you come along with them. If you want to get to know people early then come in on
Thursday. Suck up your pride and say hello to people. The front desk can help you
with who's in the RSI group. Some people are friendly, and others are busy with their
families and don't have time to chat, but for the most part you'll meet some cool guys
in the lounge/bar. Don't be offensive, not everyone will agree with your ideas. They
may be really wrong but just agree to disagree and buy the guy a beer or something.
Again, you may be the one who's wrong.... The whole idea is to hear LOTS of VIEWS on
the game, make friends, and try to win the fights.
Most important: Never take a loss personally. If you lose, then so what. So
did every other guy who didn't get a TC (and that's a lot of guys). Just remember
that by following good tournament preparedness, you will one day be the Tournament
Champion, and the guy you just beat will sincerely congratulate you on your hard
fought victory.
