Warlady Topaz Eludes,
CONGRATULATIONS on being the first female dueler to reach the 100 Wins over Losses milestone. May you have continued success former Baroness.
To everyone else,
I always make this post for when people reach this milestone and post the current list with the post.
~Ecore
For those who would be interested in the history of when duelers hit the hundred milestones for Wins over Losses, WoLs, I provide the following list I have maintained since someone first reached 100 WoLs. They are listed in chronological order by their official registered dueling name with their dueling record as posted in the following weekend's Duel of Swords Standings, noted by the date.

I'd give anybody 100 to 1 odds that if Topaz was male, this wouldn't even be one tenth as big a deal as it is. So much for gender equality when it comes to skill in the rings. Of course, anybody remotely decent who spends as much of the time they use dueling to beat on the lower ranks as Topaz does is bound to make it there eventually.

Hooray for men.

Actually Jesse...
I made just as much fuss when Daegarth made it to 100 WoL just recently. I made alot more fuss when G'nort reached 100 WoL, but then again, he is a good friend.

If anyone doubts Topaz'a ability to be considered worthy of being the first woman to reach 100 WoLs, you have only to look at her current Warlord Rankings placement. That would be the top of all current Warlords.
Everyone who has reached any of the milestones at whatever point in time has dueled probably every different rank as every other different rank. This woman was a former Baroness and a long standing Warlord of excellent reputation, IMHO. To try and take away from her accomplishment by suggesting she somehow did it in less of a fashion then anyone else is an insult to her and everyone else who has achieved this milestone, IMHO.
Again, Topaz, congratulations on your achievment wether being the 14th dueler to do it or the 1st woman to do it.

((Sorry About the outline of black but I'm at another computer and this color will barely show if I don't have it))
Jesse Troyn, you have a signifigant point! If I became a 100 WoL nobody would really care. Sure it is great and all, but this is like saying that males are better than females, but it isn't true. I am a male so I can say neither is better. Training is what makes you good, not your gender. So please just put a little thought into this note.

Takin' nothin' away from Tiny, 100 WoLs is a *great* accomplishment. But no one make a big deal with Daegarth hit 100, I believe he was da last ta do so previous ta Tiny.
Perhaps Jesse was a little harsh, but his point is well taken, mayhaps we should congratulate Tiny as one of da few *duelers* who have reached 100 WoLs, and congratulate her skill as a person. She will always know she was da first woman, da first ta break da barrier fer her sex, but ta make a big whoop dee do outta it just because she's a woman is rather silly, and quite sexist.

Me luv,
I nae know why a woman hae nae made it ta 100 before, but it be a fact. Mayhaps ya think it sexist, but I, as a woman, take courage from hearing of ta Topaz's fine achievement.
Now if it be a man birthing for ta first time, ya think ya would want all us women ta say, "Bah, humbug, we do it all ta time?"
Ya luv.

Snorts as he reads the note added by Stumpy. Muttering to no one in particular, "Just what the Arena needs...a politically correct dwarf. Next he'll be complainin' that we shouldn't be allowed to make fun of 'im for bein' a runt. What's the Arena comin' to?"
Pulls out his red crayon and scribbles a note on top of the dwarf's.
