                        Reflections by the The Gate Commander

You know, Doc Steele has a point.  I have been awful cocky of late.  Bragging in the 
newsletter, calling warriors out, making fun of the little people.  That kind of 
behavior has no place in an arena like Gateway.  After all, we're supposed to be 
showing a unity of spirit as we defend all of Alastari against the evil chaos beasts.  
Taking Legacy's throne in a three-hits-to-one victory shouldn't be cause for vain 
boasting.  Going undefeated for a second straight tournament is not reason for me to 
believe that I am any better than Sebastian or Hard-N-Crunchy.  After all, one of 
these days, Tarad or Miphon or Lazar Wolf will manage to hit me more than twice, and I 
might actually lose.  Imagine the egg on my face then if I continued to make 
deprecating comments about their inability to beat me in five tries this tourney.  No, 
siree.  From now on, I am the model of humility.  Let me start by saying, "Good fight, 
Legacy!   And congratulations on barely TVing!"  (That's pretty humble, right?)  Oh 
yeah: "Congratulations, Lazar Wolf, for losing in the tourney finals."  (See, 
compliments are the best way to show how humble you are.)  For my challenge this turn, 
my TC challenge goes to Tarad so I can show him just how humble I can be.

                                          -- Psycho Scientist

P.S.  Furious Impaler:  Welcome back to the ranks of paying customers!

                            RAMBLINGS FROM WITHIN THE KEEP

     Greetings, my dear denizens of Gateway!  I'm here once again to report on this 
round's fights in our wonderful arena!
     First, I must tell you about the fight for the Captain's seat.  That's what you 
all really want to know, don't you?  Our great champion, Psycho Scientist, TV 
challenged Tarad for the top spot.  What a fight!  Our Tarad fought an amazing battle 
and easily bested Psycho Scientist.  We have a new Champion!  Congratulations, Tarad, 
Captain of the Gate!  That's ten times, right?  Excellent job, my boy!
     Only two warriors went out to kill those evil monsters this round, and 
fortunately both returned alive.  I wish you boys wouldn't bring those.. things into 
the keep, though.  They're just so smelly!  Ferndok slew a shadow demon and Dominion 
slaughtered one of those nasty jaguar warriors.  Two more down, thank goodness.  I 
look forward to the day they become extinct!
     Superior Forces was the most avoided team this time.  The Dying Earth avoided 
them the most.  I just don't understand why nobody likes them, they seem like such 
nice boys to me!  
     Kate of Thigh Masters (#61) was the most challenged warrior this time, more so 
than even our Captain, Psycho Scientist!  Doesn't that make you feel special, my dear?  
Plunder of Blade Ryche (#54) TV challenged her, and she easily subdued him for his 
trouble.  Most men really want a strong woman, even though they'll never admit it.  
Well done, Kate!
     Isabel of Wasteland II (#161) rose the most in the rankings up to #108, after her 
victory over Sirocco of Elemental Force (#113).  Well done, my dear!  Other notable 
battles:  Helacious Hippo (#43) was bested by Dee Dee (#78).  Tail Bandit (#28) was 
vanquished by Juanita (#55).  Oxygen Thief (#60) defeated Webbed Toes (#47).  Envy 
(#159) was demolished by Sebastian (#180).  Sticky Handkerchief (#21) was subdued by 
Arnie (#37).  Gumbo Jake (#59) was defeated by Bonnie (#79).  Changeling (#57) was 
overpowered by Mandrake (#72).  Yellow Ledbetter (#99) overpowered Miller Knight 
(#71).  Quandary (#98) was demolished by Crystalsong (#111).  Sqorpion (#91) was 
devastated by Harrison Cross (#108).  Warlock (#95) was defeated by Panda (#109).  
Mjolnir (#32) was barely bested by Lord of Illusion (#45).  Jennifer Bartes (#133) was 
subdued by Lisper (#150).  Celiston (#131) devastated 22 Jacks (#114).  Crazy-Baby 
(#90) savagely defeated Picasso (#74).   Purple Butterfly (#158) was defeated by 
Sitting Bull (#171).  Darkness (#128) was overcome by Black Skull (#166).  Uriel 
(#126) was subdued by Gilhamn (#164).  Anya (#129) was bested by Michael (#144).  
Lamborghini (#137) was devastated by Lucky Savage (#156).  5 (#140) was devastated by 
The Trip (#159).  Angry Lightening (#165) was vanquished by Mr. Cilantryo (#175).  
     In the top eleven, Lazar Wolf (#5) was pummeled by Vengeance (#15).  Legacy (#6) 
was barely defeated by Molly Ringwald (#11).  We've already heard about Ferndok (#2) 
and Dominion (#3) and their hunt for gate monsters, as well as Psycho Scientist's (#1) 
loss to Tarad (#4).  Poppa Bear's crew didn't fight 
(Maimed (#9) and Furious Impaler (#10)).  Teetotaler (#7) and Kender (#8) missed a 
second fight and have fallen off the rankings. 
     Parry-lunges had a wonderful turn this time, with a 12-3 record overall.  Crazy 
Horse of Deadman's Hand (#14) led the pack.  Very well done, Crazy Horse and all of 
you other parry-lunges!
     Our top ranked manager remains Dark One, topping our team list with his amazing 
79.5% (back down from 79.9%).  Excellent job, Dark One!  Sentinel holds his #2 at 
68.8%, down from 68.9%.  Doc Steele and Neon follow closely, with the gap narrowing 
again, Doc at 68.5% (down from 68.8%) versus Neon's 68.3 (down from 68.4%).  And 
finally, Chief Illiniwek holds #5 at 60.8 (down from 61.2%).  Very well done, all of 
you!  The rest of you should practice more.  Remember, practice makes perfect!
     Well, young people, this is the end of my report.  Don't forget to take your 
vitamins and brush your teeth before you go to bed.

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Doc Steele -- The tourney seems to have renwed my interest.  I'm back. -- Guardian
P.S.  Game over.

Neon -- We both know why you started hyping Psycho again.  It didn't have much to do 
with strategy now did it?  That being said, he is the MAN again, and I look forward to 
figuring out a way to take him down.  Congratulations on the Throne and the TC. -- Doc 
Steele

Neon -- You talking to Papa Bear about running other people's warriors is a bit of the 

pot calling the kettle black isn't?  I'm betting that when you load up and go for your 
10 TV goal in Tempe you'll be running Sly and Gypsy Moth?  Of course, I won't be 
counting them in the 10 if they TV, but I bet you do. -- Doc Steele

Psycho -- I am done with Vengeance.  I proved my point and he forgets to TV me too 
often to continue.  Let's dance. -- Tarad

Vengeance -- See above.  I'll take the series win at 2-0.  You don't seem to anxious 
to continue, and I have proven to myself what I wanted to know.  Anytime you want a 
rematch where you will be TVing me consistently, just let me know.  Thank you for the 
opportunity to fight a legend. -- Tarad

Psycho -- Congratulations on the Throne.  Doc has informed me to let Tarad handle you 
until I get my con trains.  I'll see you again in a couple of months. -- Legacy

Psycho -- As soon as I get my new modification from Doc's Primus TC, I think I will 
match up nicely with you.  I'm starting to TV my way up there.  Maybe you'll give me a 
chance at the Throne when I get there? -- Skylas Takarin

Myrtle -- So who's who in this zoo?  Would you please list off the Managers of Gateway 
for me. -- Rhialto, Manager of The Dying Earth

     This is late as it is, but I will prepare a list for you for next turn, my dear. 
     -- Myrtle

Sultan -- When you consider all the posting that goes on in the Duel Group its a 
wonder there are any personals in the newsletters at all. -- Rhialto

Doc -- So which warriors exactly are abusing their ability to kill gate creatures?  
Looking at the Gateway TV's in last F2F, Ferndok and Teetotaler are the only warriors 
missing.  Did Ferndok fight in the tourney?  Who runs Ferndok?  Dark One, are you 
retiring Teetotaler? -- Rhialto

Doc Steele -- We've had LITTLE feuds?!?  It's more like I've occasionally taunted you 
with a word or two in the personals while your warriors have clobbered every one of 
mine countless times on the sands!  In any event, apart from an occasinal slightly 
overexuberant reaction on your part (ahem), I'd have to admit I enjoy the repartee if 
not the fight results. -- Sultan

Pluner -- Thanks.  As for getting my own TV, not likely!  As more and more prized 
warriors rise to the top of Gateway, there is less and less room for mere mortals such 
as me. -- Sir Dar

Hoffa -- You ever gonna speak up again?  I remember a day when you and I routinely 
scoffed at the Dark Circle and its then potentate, Doc Steele.  Come on!  Speak up!  
Hell, tell me to shut up.  I'm about ready to anyway. -- Sultan

             THE AIMED BLOW IS THE BEST STYLE IN THE GAME.  WHAT?!  WHY?

     Endurance conservation, that's why.  A 21 Deftness AB has only one ATT skill and 
two DEF skills less than a Lunger (which everyone else claims is THE superior style).  
Yet, I consistently beat LUs.  Why?  ABs are faster, they get one more Decise skill 
than LUs do, plus they can stand to fight at high activity and offense levels longer 
than one minute with only normal endurance.
     How do you design a good AB?  With a 21 Deftness.  Period.  Sure, 17 DF is 
acceptable, but then you're got three less attack skills than a LU of the same stats 
and luck.  Why?  Because an AB gets DOUBLE attack skills for DF, but ONLY at 
creation... training to a 21 DF later actually loses two attack skills that a 21 DF AB 
would have had at creation!  Other stats?  OK:

          ST = 7+ (preferably 11, or 9)
          CN = Any
          SZ = Any (preferably small)
          WT = 11+ (preferably 13 or 15 or 17)
          WL = 9+
          SP = Any

*  Strength -- A 7 is perfectly good, you can still use DA, EP, and SH.  You'll want a 
larger Size to ensure at least Normal Damage, and a 15 WT to use the EP.  More CN and 
WL is needed with a low ST because you'll want at least Normal Endurance.  (ST+CN)*WL 
should be over 200, preferably close to 240.  I prefer an 11 or higher ST as two of 
the AB's best weapons are LO and QS.  SC and SS need a nine ST, so that is also 
acceptable.  If you go below seven ST, your AB is limited to SH (5 ST) and third 
importance of all the stats for an AB.  Why?  Attack skills (at 5, 7, 15, 17 and 21) 
and Damage rating.  I also helps gain normal endurance.
*  Constitution -- Of little importance to an Aimbee.  Most managers say Aimers die 
easily, so boost the CN to avoid dying.  I say, low CN equals low KD in your strats.  
More on this later.*  Size -- I prefer small, so other areas like WT and ST can have 
the points, but big is okay too.  Big equals more Damage, and over 15 gives you extra 
Initiative skills, which are nice--of course, they come at the loss of Parry and 
Deftness!
*  Wit -- Absolutely no less than 11 here!!  There are FOUR Initiative, two Attack, 
and two Defense skills at 11 WT, and your AB needs them all!!!  I prefer at least a 13 
to allow the use of LO, or even 15 to use EP.  Higher is necessary only to learn 
skills faster.  17 is real nice...21 is AWESOME!  Of course, you get more INI, RIP, 
ATT, DEF, and DEC skills at those numbers too.  Second most important stat!
*  Will -- Nine is sufficient if you can't get a 15 here, and really seven will do.  
Just be sure that you can get Normal Endurance.  Yeah, ABs do okay with poor, but it's 
nice to be able to go the distance.
*  Speed -- Any.  Most ABs end up with a low speed because they are naturally quick.  
I've got several Aimers with under nine SP who regularly jump LUs (and beat them).  A 
high speed AB might be nice in ST and PS infested arenas, but is not necessary.  ABs 
are fourth on the Jump Chart, but with a good SP they could probably go first against 
most ST, PS and BA.
*  Deftness -- 21.  Period.  You get 20 attack skills at 21 DF, 16 at 17 DF.  Yet, an 
AB starting at 15 DF and training up to 21 has only 17 attack skills.  THIS IS THE 
MOST IMPORTANT STAT FOR YOUR AIMBEE! 

     Basically any combination of ST, CN, SZ and WL that will give you at least normal 
damage and endurance is ok.  Encumbrance doesn't matter.  HPs don't matter, if you can 
go first!  And, most of the time, even if you DON'T go first!
     ABs are really lucky.  They get blessed in Attack and Defense quite often.  They 
also seem to have their own Damage and Endurance Charts that are VERY favorable.  Some 
say that they "reduce" damage taken somehow.  I don't know.  I DO know they are 
capable of beating all of the other styles.  I've done it, and so can you.

CARE AND TREATMENT OF YOUR AIMBEE:
     Win.  He won't die if he doesn't lose.  How do I win?  Go first.  Many say that 
Aimbees are not well-suited to the Decise Tactic.  I've got news.  It still works for 
them.  I run 10-10-3 Decise against LUs, STs, PSs, SLs and BAs.  If I know I can't 
jump them, I run 5-9-4 Dodge.  An AB can dodge all day long and run a LU, SL, or BA 
into the ground.  I generally use the 5-9-4 Dodge in Desperation when running 10-10-3 
Decise in Minute one.  Slow down in Minute 2+, because even with Good Endurance 
conservation you can't keep up a 10-10 pace for very long.  I suggest (7/8)-(3/4)-(3) 
for Minute two (or Minute one with a 1-1-3 Parry in Desperation vs. TPs).  And 5-1-3 
in Minutes 3+.  Why a three KD?  There are several answers/theories/opinions.  Some 
say it helps to "Focus" your blows, meaning more will hit--and where you want them to!  
Others say a low KD will make a warrior give up before he's killed.  I run a three KD, 
and I have not lost an AB yet.
     Armor?  Why?  I use ARM/H at the most, only if the warrior can easily carry it 
and I know he'll be jumped.  You want to go first, don't load your Aimer down!
     Tactics--any except Parry, Response, or Decise--according to others.  I've used 
them ALL with great success.  Use sparingly though.  Slash, Bash, or Lunge turns your 
AB into a mini-version of that style.
     Weapon?   LO if you've got an 11 ST/ 13 WT.  SC for 9 ST/ 11 WT.  QS vs. 
scalemail (10-12 weight) if you have 11 ST 11 WT.  Use DA if you really need speed, 
and try EP if you've got the 15 WT.  SH is nearly unbreakable, and only requires five 
ST/ 11 WT, SS is nice and quick if you've got a 9 ST/ 7 WT, and many managers claim it 
gives an Initiative Bonus, which won't hurt to keep your AB attacking.  LS?  I don't 
use it often, but like the other AB weapons, it has its place.  FT?  Sure, ABs are 
suited to it, but don't use it except in friendly challenges--agreed upon fistfights.  
You'll hurt yourself on parries from both sides, if a weapon is used by your opponent.
     Watch out for TPs that are offensive or using a "trick" strat such as 10-10-x... 
I've set a TP to use a 10-10 strat vs. ABs in a mail-in tourney, and quickly jumped 
and creamed them because they were using a slow "anti-scum" strat vs. TPs.  Never 
underestimate a foe.
     Hopefully this will give you a better understanding of one of the game's 
misunderstood and (supposedly) frail styles.  I have come to love the AB, and will 
make one whenever I can get a 17 or 21 DF.
     Special thanks to Pagan and Neon Necromancer for their articles in the 
Enchiridion, and to Mouse and Pug for their articles in Mousetrap.  I hope this 
article does justice to them, for they're the ones who helped ME understand, keep 
alive, and successfully run the Aimbee.
