17. Opus (69.00)              34. Kiri (18.60)                                                                        

Observations:
1) The top nine represent the legitimate TC contenders.  These are the warriors that 
   TV every time, some with very lengthy TV streaks.  The one-hundred point drop-off 
   from #9 to #10 draws the dividing line pretty clearly.
2) Of those in the next group, I expect to see steadily improving numbers from Lazar 
   Wolf and Cheshire Cat.  The rest of the 11-20 group will either hold steady or 
   fade.  A few others I see climbing the ladder are Tarad, Goldilocks, Ronin, and 
   Zalbar.
3) I think it's obvious that this is no longer "The Carapace Invitational" like it was 
   in the early days of Gateway.  We'll have to come up with a new nickname for the 
   tourney.  His warriors are steadily dropping down the list.  It won't be long 
   before he only has a couple top twenty warriors.
4) There is no number four this time.  I just wanted to make you look.

                            RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP

     Hello, Gateway gladiators.  It's I, Oscar, here to report on this round in the 
Kaikwok Gateway.
     Our Captain of the Gate, Sly of Wolverines, fought Cheshire Cat of Alice's 
Restaurant.  After a three minute duel, Sly bested the Cat.  Sly retains his title.
     Seven brave warriors traveled into the wilds this month, seeking to slay the 
creatures that have been wreaking so much death upon the adventurers lately.  
Unfortunately, they fared no better than last time.  Sgt Slaughter and Patience were 
the only ones who survived their trek!  Vengeance fell to a Dark Daughter, Donatello 
to a Jhokor, Aggirf to a phase dragon, Saladin to a T'zeexiqal, and Prowl to a jaguar 
warrior.  Sgt Slaughter slew a water lizard and Patience a Takktirron, and then they 
were faced with the prospect of transporting their comrades' bodies back to the keep.  
Tough luck this time, guys, but thanks for trying.
     In the top eleven, Tarad (#12) TV challenged Rex Walters (#7) and booted the more 
inexperienced warrior from the top tier.  Maimed (#29) challenged Hawk (#11) but was 
savagely defeated by the higher-ranked warrior.  Furious Impaler (#2) devastated 
Trebonius (#20).  Teetotaler (#9) lost to AfterAfterBirth (#13).  Rage (#3) fought an 
NPC.  We've already heard about Sly's (#1) victory over Cheshire Cat (#10).  
     Movers and Shakers: Kiri (#98) bested Skylas Takarin (#83).  Valtag Vindictus 
(#248) bested Lovitia (#238).  Bald Champion (#232) won over Bayloff (#216).  Crazy

     In the forever war, The Couatl (#44) TV challenged Arious Al'vere (#59) and won.  
Kiri (#98) TV challenged Skylas Takarin (#83) and won.  The Black Knight (#76) TV 
challenged Plunder (#70) and won.  Bald Champion (#232) TV challenged Bayloff (#216) 
and won.  Valtag Vindictus (#248) TV challenged Lovitia (#238) and won.  Shadow Knight 
(#115) challenged Selleque (#127) and lost.  And Oxygen Thief (#173) challenged Mother 
Holle (#253) and won.  Neon issued four challenges (one down-challenge and three up-
challenges) and won them all, Doc issued three challenges (two down-challenges and one 
up-challenge) and won two of them).  Neon ends the turn with the #6 team at 69.8%, a 
full percentage point over Doc Steele's #7 and 68.8%.   
     Thundr + Litening was the most avoided team, and this time Taco Gods did the most 
avoiding.  At least this time it wasn't Manager or Caesar!  
     Scrag has reclaimed the top team position with an amazing 82.0% record.  Wow!  
The Dark One follows with 80.8%, Otto X with 75.0% (nice start!), Crip at 73.9% 
(although he didn't fight this turn) and Sentinel at 72.3%.  It's quite unusual for 
all of the top five teams to have records over 70%!

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Let's see, how did my tournament predictions turn out?...
1) Psycho Scientist TC'd, so I got that one right.
2) Furious Impaler made the final four, but didn't TC, so I got that one right.
3) Vengeance made the final five, so I was off by one there.
4) In general, the tourney was very true to form with the traditional powerhouse 
   warriors there at the end, and handing losses to each other.  I'll give myself 
   credit for getting that one right.
5) Tarad TV'd, so I got that one right.
6) There were four warriors listed that had never even seen round 10 before, Spearman, 
   Tarad, The Black Knight, and Zalbar.  I predicted four, so I was right on.  I 
   hadn't expected three of the four new faces to actually TV.
7) Spearman was, indeed, the surprise TV, only a surprise because he didn't fight in 
   Primus.  Another one I got right.  My new prediction about Spearman is that he will 
   TV for some time to come, but he will not be a factor in the final four except with 
   very good luck.  He'll be eminently more hittable here in Gateway than he was in 
   Primus.
Man, this is kind of fun when you're never wrong. -- Neon Necromancer

Duck Steele -- I suppose I must take it as a compliment that it takes the coordinated 
efforts of two managers to avoid the beatings you would undoubtedly be dealt.  Hiding 
behind Rascally Rabbit is not the sort of tactic I expected from you, but perhaps I 
overestimated you.  Maybe it's time to take my war elsewhere, to an opponent that is 
more my equal and willing to stand toe-to-toe with me. -- Neon Necromancer, Gateway 
Grand Slam Winner

Papa Bear -- I'm afraid I do, indeed, get the last laugh.  Neither Scrag, Guardian, 
nor you have put the time and effort into experimenting with strategy that I have here 
in Gateway.  It makes a difference.  My last laugh is that I had the honor and 
privilege of bestowing all three losses on Furious Impaler this last tourney.  
Obviously, you're going to have to come up with something different than the way 
Guardian and Scrag taught you. -- Neon Necromancer

All -- Just in case you all didn't notice, Psycho's undefeated tourney made him run 
quite a gauntlet unscathed.  How many warriors could go through Falstaff, Furious 
Impaler, Vengeance, Tagan, Sly, and Gypsy Moth without a single loss?  Hell, I don't 
think even Psycho could do it again.  And, yes Guardian, that first round knockdown by 
Ellegon was the closest Psycho came to losing the entire tournament.  Too bad you let 
him parry once. -- Neon One

Rhialto -- Our arena name comes from some twisted Commission humor.  Kaikwok = 
Cakewalk = Highest arena in the game.  For some reason they saw that as funny. -- Neon 
(P.S. -- Welcome back, in all your boisterous glory!)

Doc Steele -- Let me get this straight.  Lord Lightspeed brings shame to Talcama 
because he beat Saladin?  If it's shameful to beat your warriors, then color me red. 
-- Neon Necromancer (proud owner of Shepherd Moon, whose name tells you where he came 
from)

Neon -- 20-18 my lead in the forever war.  16-6 my lead if we do not count your 
whores. -- Doc Steele

Tom and Tim -- Ever heard of guilt by association?  Talk to your boss about shutting 
up that ridiculous idiot whore basher of his and I'll call of the dogs.  Otherwise you 
are very much part of this feud. -- Doc Steele

Tim -- You may have your chance sooner than you think.  Check the rankings this turn 
my young friend. -- Saladin

Psycho, Gypsy, and Sly -- I have received the unbelievable news from Doc Steele that I 
will be the lucky warrior to get the 5 potions of stat training he has acquired.  I 
will get them the turn before the Face.  So the turn after the Face I challenge you 
all to those long awaited matches on even footing.  I have seen you throw fights and 
TV the weak.  Now I challenge you to TV the strong.  Starting the turn after the Face 
I challenge each of you to a series of 10 fights in the arena.  There will be no 
stopping no matter the outcome until we have fought 10 times in a row.  Each 
participant must use his TV to challenge the other every turn.  I propose I warm up 
with Sly-whore and then Gypsy-whore.  Then a best of 10 (tiebreaker possible) with the 
mighty Psycho to claim the rights to being Talcama's best.  Any takers? -- Tarad

Goldilocks -- Before you get all excited, I am sure the winner between Psycho and me 
would be happy to take you on in a series of 10 matches to give you a shot at the 
Talcama title.  Maybe you'll finish off that strength by then huh?  You can decide 30 
turns from now but if you decline that is an admission that Psycho and I are the 
better warriors. -- Tarad

Wow!  This six skills per fight thing works for us.  I suppose it won't last, though. 
-- Tom Thumb, Tim

Doc Steele -- Gosh, you didn't have to, but I thank you regardless!  All these new 
playmates!  Where should I begin? -- LORD Lightspeed

Anarchist -- Welcome to Gateway.  It'll be nice to see you doing the avoiding for a 
change! -- Assurnasirbanipal

All -- There be sharks in these waters!  Hopefully I'm good for a few things. -- 
Cadmus, mgr of Wild Oats

Welcome all new warriors to Gateway!  My first warriors here came through the Gate 
last time and proceeded to get hammered regularly.  Now that new fodder has arrived, 
even some of my mediocre warriors looked "impressive" last turn.  Though I'm sure my 
advantage is only temporary, I again welcome you.  This is GREAT! -- Sultan

     For those of you who keep track of such things, the following warriors have

                 CHOKING CHICKEN (69-8734) of YO YO TRICKS

                                 FACE-TO-FACE XXVI

     Our next Winter Face-to-Face will be held on 19-21 January 2001, Friday through 
Sunday, at the Sheraton Phoenix Airport Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona (1600 S 52nd St, 
Tempe).  Room rates are $109.00 per night, 1-4 occupancy.  The rooms are blocked, so 
you can call to reserve your room (tell them you're with the Reality Simulations 
block).  Their phone number is 800-346-3049.  Our room block will be released in 
mid-December, so please reserve your room as soon as possible.
     There is a free shuttle to the airport, as well as free parking.  The hotel is 
located in the airport area.  There is a fitness center, sauna, whirlpool, and heated 
pool as well as a bar and restaurant inside the hotel.  Look for transportation info 
in the tournament information sheet.
     The tournament information sheet/strategy sheet should be out sometime in late 
November/early December. 
     If you haven't been to a Face-to-Face before, you're overdue.  If you have, 
you'll be back.  Don't miss this one, it'll be a blast!  See you there!

                                   FAXING IN TURNS

     If you fax in your Duelmasters turns, realize that most fax machines have a 
border on the right and left side of the paper where no image is transmitted or 
printed.  When you put your strategy sheet in the fax machine, make sure you allow 
extra room on the right side, especially if you are challenging that turn.  When the 
ID# of the warrior you are challenging is cut off, we are unable to enter the 
challenges.  There are four possible solutions to this problem:  

    1)  Load the strategies farther to the left, so the Duelmasters dude is cut off, 
        rather than your challenges, 
    2)  Write the ID# of the warrior you're challenging in the space for the name, 
    3)  Load the strategies long-wise (but then you have to be careful about 
        overlapping the sheets, which can also cut off the ID#s), or 
    4)  Face the fact that you won't get all of your challenges through.  

We'd prefer solutions 1-3, but it's your choice. 
     Also, please be careful that your fax machine isn't transmitting too darkly or
lightly.  If you write your turn in pencil, some fax machines will transmit the 
pencil so lightly we can't read it when it gets here.  If your fax machine can make
copies, it's a good idea to try making a copy first to make sure it's readable, adjust
the darkness if you need to, and then fax it to us.  Be especially wary of the 
Advanced Duelmasters Strategy Sheets, because if your fax machine sends the grey 
shading too darkly, we won't be able to read those lines at all.
     Good luck!

                                NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA

     The gladiator leaned forward and took hold of the front of Alarond's shirt, 
lifting him and shaking him slightly.  "I don't want you to tell me it's impossible," 
he growled, "I want you to tell me how to change my arena name.  Who do I have to 
bribe?"
     Alarond assumed a look of dignified reproach (difficult when his feet were 
dangling fifteen inches off the floor) and said, "We at the Gladiatorial Commission do 
not take bribes--  Ack!"
     The gladiator twisted the shirt around his fist a couple of times, choking 
Alarond to silence.  "Listen, I don't care what you want to call it.  I want a name 
change, and I want it now!"
     "You should have thought more carefully before you chose your arena name, if you 
find it so objectionable," the spy reporter said.
     "As if I could've over-ruled my manager!  If you had half an ounce of smarts, you 
wouldn't be arguing with a guy who's already put in two years in the arena as 
'Dangling Eyeball'.  A name like that, I don't take any lip, see?  And I want it 
changed.  Now."
     "Dangling Eyeball?"  Alarond blenched.  "Ah... yes, I suppose you do want a 
change, but Lady Sheila doesn't like to--"
     "I want to be called the Handsome Highwayman."
     "Too many letters.  It can't be done."
     "Okay, then, call me Jack."
     "Er, Jack, I'm afraid you don't understand.  Lady Greywand doesn't want to be 
bothered with things like name changes.  She..." Alarond's voice dropped to a 
whisper, "she has to bow to a higher authority on that.  Green Eyes!"
     "I don't care who you gotta clear it with, I want a new name," the gladiator 
snarled.  "And I'm not the only one, bub.  Make it happen."
     "Well... it will take a little time to arrange," Alarond warned.  "I'm sure we 
can't do anything until after the next tourney."
     "Just so it happens, bub."
