Duel II
the game formerly known as Duelmasters

A bloodthirsty crowd roars as the gladiators enter the arena. Nervous but hardheaded team managers watch from their battle crested pavilions. Will months of training and patiently rehearsed strategy pay off with an arena victory? Or will all be lost on the jagged blade of an opponent's sword?

Apart, on the throne of honor, the Duelmaster looks on, a body of knotted muscles and scars a testimony to his honor. His visage is impassive but his thoughts boil. How long before some young warrior's sword finds his heart -- perhaps one of those he now watches? He shakes himself, casting aside dark thoughts. For the moment, he is the Duelmaster, Champion of the Games. His smoldering eyes scan the arena floor where the warriors assume their fighting stances. His raises his clenched fist and the gladiators leap forward... Victory, disgrace, or death lies awaiting on the open sand.


Dear Gamer,

Welcome to the world of Play-by-Mail games produced by Reality Simulations, Inc. Duel2--the game formerly known as Duelmasters--is a Play-by-Mail game of ancient gladiatorial combat. If you're new to Play-by-Mail gaming, just think or it as a chance to play some of the most realistic and exciting games you will ever come across. Every two weeks, you'll be matching your skills and ingenuity against players from all across the North American continent and beyond. True to our name, our computer-moderated games allow us to closely simulate reality. In Duel2, the first of our games set in the fantastic world of Alastari, you will experience the reality of man-to-man combat in far greater depth than you will find even in role playing games.

Your strategies will be pitted against the strategies of your opponents and the results of each fight determined impartially by computer. And, since our computer are doing all the detail work, you will only have to command your warriors... and then watch as the results come back to you with the detail of a blow-by-blow narrative -- a story you helped write! Each player manages a team of five gladiators, training, developing, and fighting each warrior toward the title of Duelmaster, the feared and honored Champion of the Games. Your exploits, as well as those of your enemies and allies, will be covered in a free newsletter. The newsletter not only lets you know who won or lost, and lists the rankings of every warrior in the arena, but also features regular strategy columns that provide information and hints of winning. There's even space in the newsletter for personal ads between warriors!

We invite you to try Duel2. Both rules and set-up are free and without obligation, and turn fees are only US$3.25 + US$1.50 for each gladiator that you enter into combat. While you set up a full team of five warriors, you may fight some, all, or none of your warriors on any given turn. You only pay for what you play.

Again, the rules are free, as will be the initial character overviews (sentence descriptions of your warrior's strengths and weaknesses) and Duel2 Battle Rules you receive upon training your gladiators. Duel2 is easy to play, yet is filled with a surprising depth of strategy to keep even the most demanding gamer interested. Don't delay your entry into the exciting world of Duel2 and Play-by-Mail gaming.









ROLL UP: Choose a team name (The Blues, The Thugs, etc.) 15 characters maximum including spaces. You design a warrior by adding 14 points to the pre-rolled attributes, with no more than 6 points addition to any one attribute. The maximum that any one attribute may be is 21; the minimum is 3. Size may not be altered. You create 5 warriors using the sheet provided.

EXAMPLE ROLL UP:

NAME: Broke Stroker
FIGHTING STYLE: Parry-Strike
ST (Strength) 10 (add 6) 16
CN (Constitution) 10 10
SZ (Size) 10 10
WT (Wit) 9 (add 4) 13
WL (Will) 9 (add 4) 13
SP (Speed) 11 11
DF (Deftness) 11 11

Name each of your warriors (three part name maximum, single names preferred) 15 characters maximum, including spaces, and choose a fighting style.

FIGHTING STYLES: There are 10 different fighting styles to choose from. A warrior's fighting style is permanent (i.e. that's the way he will always fight).

The ten fighting styles are:

BASHING ATTACK -- A brutal, physical, brawling attack style that relies on brute strength and greater mass. Executed by slamming into one's foe and raining blows on him until he falls to the ground. This style's greatest weakness tends to be a lack of mobility and ability to dodge blows. Classic weapon - Mace; general weapon type - Any weapon that smashes into the target.

STRIKING ATTACK -- This very basic style is simply a striking attack which is usually a downward stroke, swung with the most economy of motion. Execution of this style takes many forms, with the simple intent to strike (and occasionally parry) with a minimum of wasted effort. Historically one of the most common fighting style, this method's virtues are that it saves endurance and stamina and that it perhaps the most wide range of effective weapons to choose from. Classic weapon - Broadsword; general weapon type - almost any.

SLASHING ATTACK -- A whirling attack executed with one's body tilted forward, sword arm extended and wrist bent, attempting to slash your opponent. The style gains attack ability at the loss of parrying ability. While a very effective style, users of this style seldom come out of a fight unscathed. Classic weapon - Scimitar; general weapon type - any weapon that slashes.

PARRY-STRIKE STYLE -- This style is simply the striking attack style with more attention paid to economy of motion in parrying. Execution is a simple shift from parry to strike to parry as circumstances arise. The more passive version of the striking style also saves endurance and stamina, and is perhaps the most crafty balance of parrying style ( to wear out your foe while you save energy) and attack -- allowing for an effective, unfrantic attack plan. Classic weapon - shortsword; general weapon type - nearly any weapon that can make a simple striking attack , and effectively parry as well.

LUNGING ATTACK -- A frantic, jabbing and striking style in which one is constantly moving, presenting a difficult target to hit, while finding unexpected chances to strikes one's foe. Executed by keeping one's feet always moving, generally keeping one's weapon pointed at the foe's breast, and often fully extending one's body forward in a lunge to strike past a slow parry. The lunging is a devastating style, but requires a tremendous amount of endurance and stamina. Classic weapon - short spear; general weapon type - any jabbing weapon.

PARRY-LUNGE STYLE -- A combination of defensive parries mixed with lunging attacks (see lunging attack style) when an opening presents itself. Executed by coming from a slightly crouching, turned sideways parrying posture, to a fully extended lunge. Perhaps the best all around style for combining defense with sudden, total attack. Classic weapon - longsword; general weapon type - any weapon that can effectively parry and jab.

WALL OF STEEL STYLE -- This style effectively "surrounds" oneself within a whirl of a constantly swinging weapon. Executed by whirling your weapon over your head, or at your side, or at arms length in a flat arc in front of you. Your constantly moving weapon gives you many options to attack and parry, and also creates a very dangerous zone for foes to move into. This style's only basic weakness is that it requires a tremendous amount of stamina and endurance. Classic weapon - morning star; general weapon type - any weapon of medium to long length that can be somehow be swung in a continuos circle or arc.

TOTAL PARRY -- This style focuses on defense, in particular keeping a parrying weapon in front of oneself. Execution can vary by the weapon type, from the greatsword, which can be held motionless above your head (creating a parry in effect), to a modified , purely defensive "wall of steel" parry style with a scimitar. The principle use of this style is to best use the parrying advantages of a shield, while every once in a while striking with your primary weapon. This style is relatively effortless. Classic weapon - shield; general weapon type - virtually any weapon that can parry effectively.

AIMED BLOW ATTACK STYLE -- A very limited style which holds back blows until they can strike a predesignated body location (i.e. the target location - see basic rules overview), some chink in armor, or an easily struck and unprotected body location. Execution can be a modified attack of any type (strike, lunge, bash) with care taken to only attack when a good target presents itself. This is one of the oddest fighting styles to watch, as the aimed blow expert can appear a very inadequate duelist - allowing striking opportunities slip past (often standing nearly motionless while onlookers gape!), all the while steadily attacking a few chosen locations and in perfect control of the situation. It is a relatively effortless style. Classic weapon - Quarterstaff; general weapon type - any weapon that can be used with great precision. NOTE - the fist and kick are best used with this style, and an unarmed combat specialist must use it to be effectively.

PARRY RIPOSTE --This flashy style focuses of the riposte (counterstrike), utilizing one's foes errors. Execution most commonly takes the form of a rather stiff, formal En Garde position, with the elbow slightly more bent than in the classic parry-lunge style. This style is very unagressive, yet can be very dangerous against a clumsy foe ( or fighting style). It is also an untaxing style that husbands stamina. Classic weapon - epee; general weapon type - light, quick, thrusting weapons that can parry well.

ATTRIBUTES:

ST (Strength) - Strength is of primary importance in determining your capability to be encumbered and your ability to do extra damage with blows. Strength also plays a part in your endurance, attack ability, ability to effectively wield heavy weapons, and in other situations where brute strength can give an edge.

CN (Constitution) - Constitution is of primary use in determining your endurance and your ability to take damage. It is also related to your encumbrance capability.

SZ (Size) - Size is most important in determining your ability to do extra damage with blows. However, large or small size can affect your ability to take damage, dodge and avoid blows, attack, and initiate action. Some large weapons will be better used by larger warriors, and will overbalance smaller warriors.

WT( Wit) - Wit is most concerned with your ability to learn from your experience (should you live that long). Wit is also related to your ability to initiate action and respond to action, avoid mistakes, and make intelligent dueling decisions. Some weapons are better used by brighter warriors.

WL (Will) - Will is the intangible factor. It relates to a lot of things in a general way. It is part of the ability to take damage, endurance, attack ability, parrying ability and general mental toughness.

SP (Speed) - Speed is primary in gaining the initiative. It is also important in the ability to riposte (counterstrike), dodge, parry well, and protect a chosen portion of your own body (see protect location -- basic rules overview).

DF ( Deftness) - Deftness is the primary requirement of the riposte (counterstrike), and is important in dodging, attacking skill, and precision in attacking. Deftness also is related to overall body control and balance. High deftness is required for effectively using some weapons.

BASIC RULES OVERVIEW:

The rules are very simple. The duel is reported in one minute segments. The fight goes on until one warrior cannot continue due to wounds, or exhaustion or death. For each fight you must equip your gladiator with weapon(s) and select armor and helm (or lack of them). You must select your warrior's Activity Level (s) for the entire fight. Also for each minute during the first five minutes you will select your warriors Attack and Protect Locations, Offensive and Defensive Tactics, Offensive Effort, and Kill Desire. The Activity Level is your warriors willingness to remain active during the fight. Generally, some fighting styles need less activity, requiring stability and balance (example Bashing Attack). Activity Levels range from 1 (very stable) to 10 (very active and mobile, but tiring). Attack and Protect Locations: your warrior will attempt to strike the attack location noted, and will try very hard to parry blows to his Protect Location. Offensive and Defensive Tactics are "tricks" that your warrior may attempt that minute. Offensive Effort ranges from 1 (making few attacks and conserving endurance) to 10 (continual attempts at attack, which is exhausting). Very high Offensive Effort attempt will subtract from your defensiveness. Kill Desire ranges from 1 (attempting not to kill) to 10 (very much trying to kill), to the extent that the higher Kill Desire attempt will subtract from your Defensiveness. This has been a rules overview only; a detailed turn form with instructions will be available when your character overviews are returned. On your character overviews will be a brief summary of your character's overall abilities and weaknesses.

SOME QUICK HINTS:

Think in terms two types -- big and strong or quick and deft. Odd and creative combinations of the two types are possible, if matched to a correct fighting style. While the Wall of Steel and the Lunging styles have perhaps the most to offer per stroke, they each have weaknesses, exhaustion being the worst. While a high attribute (say ST 19) can do great things for a character, this unavoidably means that other attributes are being ignored, and very low attributes (say SP 5) can do some generally bad things. In general, odd numbered attributes are better than even numbered attributes (due to roundups).

Good luck! May the best man always win (fat chance), and may cowards always die.









Duel II, formerly known as Duelmasters, is a game run by Reality Simulations Inc (or RSI) out of Tempe, Arizona. While there are far fewer players than in its heyday, there is still an active and vocal community of players (commonly called managers, as they "manage" stables of gladiators in this fantasy world).

Over the years, there has been an increased focus on tournaments by the managers of Duel II. Tournaments occur four times each year, two mail-in tournaments in the fall and the spring, and two face-to-face tournaments in the winter (in Tempe, Arizona) and in the summer (roving, generally on the east coast). Some managers send fifty or a hundred warriors to these tournaments in an attempt to win prizes, that allow you to create special warriors, special teams, or make existing warriors better.

While these are enjoyable and are probably one of the reasons that this game is still successful, there has been a movement in recent years to limit the effects of tournaments and tournament prizes on the traditional game and to capture some of the vigor of the game's youth. To this end, players lobbied for and created two arenas where tournaments and tournament prizes were prohibited, one regular speed (two week turnaround) and one slow speed (one month turnaround). These old-school arenas have been a huge hit and would be a great place for a new or returning player to place a team. Below is the most recent online newsletter for the regular speed no-tourney arena (while results are still distributed by postal mail, the newsletters are posted online in addition for easy reference).

                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

Fellow Shadowspirians!

     It is a proud day for me and for my stable, Jungleland, as I now ascend the
throne as the Duelmaster of the greatest of all arenas, Shadowspire.  Us
Junglelanders have been around every turn for a year and a half now, slowly working
our way up the ranks.  Since all the prodigies on the stable have been killed, it is
me and ol' Bobby Jean that have become the forerunners for our team.  Bartender is
not too happy about that, I can assure you.
     I still remember the day, though, 18 months ago, when I arrived in Shadowspire
for the annual scum showcase.  It was hosted by Bartender in his dive bar, the Stone
Pony.  Me and four other scum competed against each other by seeing who could stand
completely motionless the longest.  The competition was extremely stiff and we were
actually all drafted that day even though there were only two managers present.
Well, actually, it was one Agent and one Manager.
     The first four scum auctions went smoothly and the Agent and the Manager got two
scums each but when it was time for my auction a huge brawl began.  Catheters and
moose hats were flying about in the bar and eventually Bartender intervened himself.
I liked his style and when I learned that he was putting togheter a team, I decided
to join him.
     Speaking of Bartender, he is such a sucker for numbers and have told me to tell
you the following fun statistics:
     I am 16-3 against TPs and 10-9 against others.  Guess who I will be challenging?
     I have fewer skills than Rosalita had at birth and still no rating.  Guess I
will be around for a while, eh?
     I have close to ten hours on the sands.  That should be a record, right?
     Well, I guess I will be hunted pretty badly now that I have shown mu ugly snot.
And this column probably made me less popular than before but, let's face it, I have
no chance of being the popularity leader.
     My challenges, of course, will go to whatever scum is in Challenger Champs.
     Good luck to you all on the sands!

Duelmaster Outlaw Pete

P.S.  I will leave an hour glass on the throne when I leave it.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
SHADOWSPIRE.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  
Say good-bye to FUCHI OWNED, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the
JUNGLELAND stable.  Take a look at ARCHAIC CHAOS' act, as they have a 4-1-0 week and
gain 12 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread
(okay, I admit it's corny) is WARMASTERS, who swept up 14 places in the ranks.  Take
a look at BATTLE GRUNTS' act, as they have a 2-3-1 week and gain 11 places in the
team ranking.  Suffering under a 0-5-0 record and dropping from 11th to 25th place
were the DETHKLOK.  Keep trying!  O' HOLY KNIGHTS is no joke as it posted a 5-0-0
week advancing from 14th place to 7th place.  Hey everybody, watch out for CLASSIC
NAPALM, who flew up 26 points in the rankings after mashing CYRIL WYRMSLAYER like a
melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was
KIRLUA NORIS, who dropped 19 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout
with SUICIDE SEED.  Drawing on all of his experience as a 19-25-0 warrior, SINISTER
SNOOPY went for the Duelmastership against OUTLAW PETE this week.  Going for the
gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was FURRY FURY's SINISTER SNOOPY,
who was turned away from the Duelmastership by OUTLAW PETE.  Can you believe they are
paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?  
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that CAPITAL CARTEL was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of CAPITAL CARTEL's warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not
be funny, but catch CORPORATE IDIOTS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be
fairly deft at running from CAPITAL CARTEL.  Well just about everybody wants a piece
of PANDERA PAX, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  Well, it looks like
SAVIOR STRENGTH wasn't happy with last turn's rank, so he went for broke by
challenging up 27 points.  No guts, no glory.  I heard SAVIOR STRENGTH laughed all
the way to the inn as his new point total of 26 was posted in the arena.  I guess
beating NATHAN really pays!  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, WEE TREE
KING went after SNACKPACK, who was higher by 24 points.  Well, when the dust settled,
WEE TREE KING beat SNACKPACK.  
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though!  This week 7-5-0 LUHAN was sent to the Dark Arena.  I know
a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of this.  For those of
you who missed it, Death showed up, grabbed HR by the ear and took her away to a
place where she won't need a coat.  Yes, and another newbie bites the dust as TIAMAT
goes down under the sword of FLACCUS.  Thanks to this, FLACCUS now has 40 recognition
points.  Proving again that SHADOWSPIRE is not rated G, CLASSIC NAPALM of the LA
PENTARCHIE slew the warrior CYRIL WYRMSLAYER in a rather bloody bout.  Let's look for
a bloodfeud.  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, BOWTIE BOB was mashed by
NYDERAWYN, who let BOWTIE BOB know that killing members of PHILANTHROPISTS is a
no-no.  Congrats to BUNNY FOO FOO for revenging the death of hers teammate (but more
importantly, feeding CREIDDY LAD a bit of dirt).  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?'
category, KILGORE was mashed by VELVETEEN, who let KILGORE know that killing members
of FUZZY BUNNIES is a no-no.  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both
yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?  
     Well, there's the manager of the SHADOWSPIRE giving me the 'cut' sign (or is
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Fidget -- Adieu. -- Suicide Seed

Growler -- A bit of experience mismatch, I know.  Still, I enjoyed stabbing you
repeatedly.  The only profession where being psychotic pays off aye? -- Roundup

Tall Fall -- Sissy. -- Oakhurst

Wee Tree King -- You were exceptional in our duel.  But, no skills!  I guess that is
one more reason to avoid you. -- John F Queeny

Pickles -- Your challenge was politely deemed "perverse", but I prefer the word
"idiotic."  I guess your manager wanted a reason to bloodfeud, eh? -- Hippodameia

Erekek Zezerub -- That's a name for a lotion for treating camels' boils, isn't it?
Well, thanks for the skills, anyway... -- Tydeus

Luhan --  Other than hitting me once (while I was waving to my GF, thanks so much),
it WAS one-sided, don't you think?  And BTW, what's with all that armor?  Try
sunblock instead; you'll smell better! -- Patroclus

Punt -- Whoah Nellie!  I figured to win in the 2nd or 3rd minute, not in the FIRST!
Did you accidentally tie your sandals together again? -- Pandera Pax

Spork -- Hhhmmmm.  An implement that can't decide whether or not it should be a fork
or a spoon...  The name fits you well, as you couldn't seem to decide whether you
should parry or run away.  Good thing your gender and style were picked for you. --
Aeneas

Nice mini-spotlight in the DM's column!

Punt -- Brown nosers don't get laid off, pshaw!  We get promoted after the non-nosers
get fired!  I could be around for a while! -- Office Brwn Noser -- everybody's
bestest best friend.

Magic Rat must be magic with all of these good match ups he keeps getting.  I really
don't like Rats in my office, even magic ones!  They chew up the paper, leave messes
on your desk and are over all nasty creatures. -- Office Brwn Noser Everybody's
bestest best friend except rats.

Charles Martel -- I don't make the rules, I just enforce the policies. -- HR

Well, 3-2 with a bloodfeud and one DA, it's almost miraculous!  But the new guy is
again crappy, and this first DA streak in our beloved arena is quite disappointing...
I could even regret the departed Four, an ambidextrous Basher dealing Tremendous 17-
9-20-15-9-3-11!  Why did I DA ?? -- LP

Well challenged, Murderface... I would have tried, too! -- Wonderface

Ting-Ting -- Well, darling, that was pretty impressive.  I wish I could have given
you a better showing.  Although crit parrying from my back goes a long way towards
fixing things for sure. -- Shaviola

Snackpack -- Not sure what happened there, bit of a messup on the strategy.  I
thought I was someone else apparently!  Too much booze! -- Benedict

     I have occasionally wished I was someone else.

All -- Yet another warrior to the Dark Arena!  Luhan was a freak that somehow got 7
wins pretty early despite only learning Init his entire 11 fights.  He was a Slasher
with the numbers 17-17-12-15-8-8-7, Normal End, Great Damage.  After 11 fights he had
8 Attack and 6 Dec.  Time to go! -- Tripwire

Elthor -- Blech, I need to graduate quickly, my manager is losing patience! -- Zevran

Madame Marie -- Nicely done!  I got my final train now on to skills for a bit! --
Archon

Pickles -- Speaking for the deceased Reigning Cain, I can tell you it was an awesome
fight and Cain died with great respect for you.  He was a hell of a teacher, but if
you knew him as we did, you'd agree he was somehow "put together all wrong." -- The
Chief (team manager)

Spymaster -- Unparalleled report last week.  It's jobs like that which make this
arena the best in Duel2. -- The Chief
P.S.  Georgia is safe, having defeated a 3-0 fighter the previous week, and hey!  Why
no commentary on my WINS?!?! :)  Thanks again for such a fantastic job!

     I'm still getting the hang of this place.  I recognize about half of you
     managers out of hand, and a lot of the others when I have the cheat-sheet handy,
     but not everyone.  Which team are you managing? -- Larkin

All -- I'm greatly appreciative of/for the warm welcome.  In my short time here (and
first in 25 years!!) I already recognize how far superior this arena is to any I've
seen.

     Absolutely.

Harold Angel -- Congratulations.  Your record may not reflect it, but you are
responsible for the kill on Titinius.  His loss to you resulted in his night fight
armed with a War Flail. -- Vanek, Manager of Warmasters

Benedict -- You're welcome! -- Petronius

Battle Grunts -- Welcome back. -- Vanek

Jorja -- Glad you decided to join us!  Welcome aboard! -- Vanek

Nomad -- Nice Duelmaster column.  Very entertaining. -- Vanek

Blue Marble -- No hurry out of here, huh?  But that's just the way I like it: slow
and dull. -- Outlaw Pete

Archon -- Last time you taught me five skills so the zero skills this time was a huge
disappointment. -- Madam Marie, 8 points higher but none the wiser

Bunny Foo Foo -- I would love to have heard the commentators twisting their tongues
around our names during the fight. -- Big Bones Billie

     From off side.  There was spraying.

A.E. Housman -- Random match-ups suck! -- Bobby Jean

Office Brwn Noser -- Didn't realize you got your brown nose from sticking your head
in the sand. -- Magic Rat

DM Outlaw Pete -- Yeah, your skills might not be at their peak yet.  And with that
train you don't seem to be eager to leave either.  Congrats on the title.  Blue
Marble is glad to never have to face you again. -- Blue Marble

Maceo -- Not enough avoids, that is all there is to it. -- Cyril

'69 Fairlane -- I've been seeing a few too many automobiles lately.  Armor just
doesn't cut it when confronted by a ton of steel traveling at 60 mph.  Ouch. -- Jager

Petronius -- Well, that was one more strategy tweak that didn't work.  At least not
this time.  Nice win.  How many more day fights do you think I can hope for? - Ziggy

A painful lesson learned.  When attempting to reach a milestone, never, ever, ever
post that milestone in the ads for the turn on which you hope to accomplish the feat.
It appears to be an easy way to guarantee an 0-5 record.  Ouch.  The gods can be
quite firm about such things.  Lesson learned.

     Damn straight.

All -- It'$B!G (Bs good to be back. I'$B! '(Bll try to be active with the ads.  To
all of those that welcomed me back, thanks. -- Elephant, Manager American Muscle

though. -- '$B!F'(B66 Corvette

Road Runner
P.S.  Anyone ever tell you that your manager is kind of weird?  Always referencing
himself as '$B!H'(Bwe'$B!H'(B.  Is that speaking in the 4th person or something?

Hombre -- Whut up?  Long time no talk.  Any word on Paulie or Indimar returning here?
-- Elephant

Spy Reporter -- Excellent job.  Keep up the good work.  I look forward reading your
words each turn. -- Elephant

     Thanks.  But only odd-numbered turns.

Outlaw Pete -- Congrats on the throne!  Next mile marker for you is your first
rating!  It almost makes you cry to see you all growed up... not quite ready to leave
your mother's bossoms yet but you will get there.  <sniffle> -- Gentleben and the
O'Holy Knights and the distant Ctuchik

Hombre and Fuchi Owned -- Hmmm... shouldn't your name be Hombre Owned?  Anyways...
congrats on taking the current top team honors, you have had a fine set of turns. --
O'Holy Knights

Jorja and Middle Way 12 -- Welcome to the party and we shall see what we can do about
that record of yours. -- Gentleben and O'Holy Knights

Larkin (and Jorja's hands) -- Another fine newsletter, you and your borrowed hands
are most enjoyable. -- Gentleben
P.S.  You don't have any more helpful hands around do you?
P.P.S.  I do not mean the helpful hamburger helper hand either?

     I wish!  With an extra set of hands maybe you could get a spy report every turn.
     But Crysalis has a prior claim.

Alps Arslan -- As enjoyable a read Gentleben said that fight was he was most unhappy
with the last five lines... and he was hoping you would have taught better... but
then I didn't so... -- Stalking Stuffr
P.S.  You have Ben put on the "Coal" list, whatever that means.

Titinius -- Thanks, I was hoping for that fight as well, guess I didn't need to use a
double challenge on you. -- Harold Angel

John F. Queeny -- Kings beat Queens in most games. -- Wee Tree King

Flaccus -- Is that like muccus or phlegm like substance, either way you have silenced
me for yet another turn.  Keep your eyes open and your back to the wall. -- Silent
Knight

Deepthought -- Right back at ya. -- Gentleben

Lizard Man -- You fight pretty good for a lizard but not so good for a man, so next
time just... -- Savior Strength

Porcupain -- Tell your boss my boss said no. -- Silent Knight

Master Darque -- I've been playing this game for nearly twenty-five years, I remember
the REAL arenas.  As to challenges and avoids... some days it's all I can do (this is
one) to get personals written.  But we'll see. -- Jorja

Bartender -- That's good, because I seem to have a Middle Way team here now. -- Jorja

Goulash -- We join Otto in congratulating you.  It's probably the garlic. -- Jorja

Nomad -- Thanks.  Hmm, if I write enough "thank you" personals, do I have to do
"fight" personals, too?

     Yes.

Gentleben -- Thanks. -- Jorja

Vanek -- Thanks.  I think I remember you from... Dayla Kiv, maybe?  An arena now
sadly depleted.  I'd say, "Come back to Lirith Kai," but what would be the point? --
Jorja

Hmm, Middle Way 12... that was a LONG time ago.  Five years?  No time for a spotlight
today, but I'm making a note for next time. -- Jorja

It appears that we should congratulate Limp In, Elthor, and Ting-Ting, new graduates.
-- Jorja and the Middle Way

Jaklak -- An unexpected but welcome win for me to begin with.  Sharper competition
than we ever saw on Noblish Island, too!  This is good.  Some of us won't survive,
but those who do will be the better for it. -- Nin Quayne

Victor -- The Power of Names works in your favor.  Ouch. -- Lugg Opar

A Userous Merchant?  Cheese louise!  A standby on my first fight here? -- Kirlua
Noris the slightly disappointed
P.S.  Only slightly, because it IS a win.

HR -- Yeah, well, I blame it on the Commission.  If they hadn't declared me a golem,
of all idiotic things, I would have been more "up" for that fight. -- Malle Pennelis
P.S.  Which you did well.

Col. Kurtz -- Hmm, I see you're Ratani.  You guys over in Ratan never did appreciate
us Rirorni.  But we can get past this, I'm sure. -- Poli Sarchis

18 March 11
All -- Be aware of the comeback of the Cajun and his stables of gladiators!  Just
sayin' -- The Cajun
