Archmage Tournament ~ Final Results
The fourth day of the ninth month by the Eastern calendar saw an excellent match between Mage Mur Ollavan (MurOllavan), the challenger and the ArchMage Melgarth Mithmellon (Melgarth ) defending. This was a best two out of three matches and both men had prepared well. In the first match the ArchMage eked out a narrow victory. In the second match the ArchMage flattened his opponent convincingly to defend his title for the second consecutive time,
beginning his third cycle of reign on Twilight Island. Congratulations to all that participated.
This was also a night of unusual and interesting events. Mystik Silverhand, Supervisor of the Duel of Magic, had ordered a conventional dress from her dear friend Arane. What was delivered was a dress that was anything but conventional. Mystik elected to wear the dress rather then delay the match and I am sure her heart was in her mouth when she stepped out into public.
I was there, and never have I seen so many svelte curves packed into so little of a dress. She was absolutely stunning. Our social editor has further comments in his column about what he saw. All this reporter can say is "Mystik, we didn't know you had it, you've hidden it so well."
During the lull between the matches and as opportunity presented itself, I interviewed Syous of Mystara (SyousMyst). As you may recall he, for publically undisclosed reasons, dropped out of the preliminaries after the first round. I asked him about why he had chosen to withdraw he replied that he had not been injured and that his reasons were personal. At this point Challenger Mur Ollavan, from the ring, stated to the effect that Syous had
withdrawn because he was afraid to face him in the ring. Syous' face became a study in malevolence, but he quietly dismissed the words of Mur. I was reminded of the face of a man I once interviewed who pulled the wings off butterflies. I expect that eventually these two will meet again and that should be most interesting.
After the final match I interviewed Melgarth as to his future plans. He stated that he has no desire to compete in any arena outside of the DoM and looks forward to defending his title. He is seeking 8 consecutive titles as ArchMage to set a new record.
I asked the ArchMage how he saw himself. His reply was he pictured himself as a dark and foreboding person with low morality. I have no way of knowing about his morality, but to me he is more of the statesman type, dignified and devious.
He did mention, and appeared to quite take pride in, the fact that his father Daegarth Mithmellon (Daegarth) was contending for the Overlordship of the DoS.
That's it from the rings.

THE SOCIALS
BY EVAN FONDOR
Well, let me tell you what I saw last night. The prim and proper Mystk Silverhand in a darling dress made for her by the fabulous Arane. Yes, none other then Arane expended her time and talent to make the ordinary look extraordinary. She succeeded well beyond her goal.
The dress was absolutely charming, made of a silvery violet material with thin straps cut so low that if Mystik were to have bent over the question of whether she was an "inny" or an "outy" could have easily been answered.
The dress hugged her curves like a sentient skin with a mind of its own exposing glimpses of ivory skin and parts of Mystik that have probably never been exposed in public before.
Absolutely smashingly beautiful, the dress had a long slit in it that ran from mid thigh to her the top of the silvery heels she wore. With this dress, Arane has outdone herself. Mystik has shown the world she is not afraid to be a trend-setter and I imagine many of the eligible men-about-town will be visiting the Twilight Island to see all that they can see.

To the Rhydin Times:
I sent a much longer srticle than this! As I told reporter Eli Grady, I am willing to pay for larger amounts of space. Anyway, I must take matters into my own hands....
To the dueling community,
Here is the complete text of the original article, modified to keep up with recent events:
The Galadrim is an organization of duelists from all three duels. These are Magic, Swords, and Fists. Every member is a duelist in whom the leaders of the guild have judged potential in dueling. Each member also knows much about the lands.
The older members who have rank and skill assist struggling members. In this way, the Galadrim's members help each other. The members work together to increase their own prowess and that of the group.
The Galadrim is split into 3 divisions. These are: Sorcery (Magic), Military (Swords) and Special Ops (Fists) as well as a government division containing the High Lord and his assistant. Each division has a leader. They are: Arcane Lord (Magic) True Knight (Swords) and Dark Assassin (Fists). Along with the High Lord, they make up the Galadrim's ruling body, called the council.
Each leader has his/her own group of high officers, 3 of them, and any number of members. The top-ranking high officer, called the assistant, may challenge the leader for his/her title, and any member may challenge for the next higher slot. This includes division leaders challenging the High Lord. Division leaders must hold the top free-for -all ranking (Emerald, Mage, or Warlord) or higher, in their sport, and the High Lord must hold at least one
of the division leader qualifications.
If you wish to join, first you must choose your division. Send requests for the Swords division to Daryl Kyle (Des DArtigo), Magic division to Irus Greylock (Irus of Masaca) and Fists division to Face (Face2Loran). Send further questions to the above names (especially Irus, as he wrote this), or to the High Lord, Sir Steven "Stooge" Barbarossa (T3Stooges5)
The following is the Galadrim member roster:
<<High Lord and Secretary>>
T3Stooges5- High Lord (Blue seat in council)
Vacant- Secretary
<<Armed Forces>>
Des Dartigo- True Knight (Green seat in council)

well, hello everyone. i'm tim, the main assistant (Arcane Underlord) in the magic division. Currently, we have no swords division, because we've had a number of people removing themselves from the Galadrim, so you might want to hold those requests to Mr. Kyle (DesDArtigo).

The dueling Arena, and all other dueling areas are no places for Guilds. Go upstairs and into the Inn if you want to recruit.
By posting your "member drive request" you insult a great majority of those who duel here.
Good day.

Well, if you are that way, well, it really isn't a guild. Sure, that is what it is called, but it is really just a group of duelists who work for the advancement of each other. We are not really interested in becoming a political force, the way most guilds are, but rather are bonding together for the mutual good of the group's members. If you have a problem with that, I request that you leave the Galadrim alone.

Arcane Lord Greylock,
In my experience, groups who organize into military brigades which include "special ops" and "dark assassins" are, indeed, interested in "becoming a political force." Empirical evidence suggests that when large militarily organized forces are martialled, action aimed at affecting a given context is likely to ensue.
I do not believe that "duelists who work for the advancement of each other" but "are not really interested in becoming a political force" will require the services of "dark assassins." Furthermore, I do not believe that "the mutual good of the group's members" is served by some declaring themselves Lords and others serving as said Lords' secretaries.
Then again, I freely admit that I have never understood guilds as they exist in this land.
I wish you health, wealth, long life and the best of luck, Irus. I bear you no ill will. I sincerely hope, however, that you shall refrain from recruiting activities on this particular corkboard.
With best wishes,
Fandral Kurgan

Hi...
If anyone's interested, I'm creating a Group of people who're bonding together for the mutual good of a groups members.
But we are not a guild, even though two of our members did say we were.
However, we have divisions, if you're interested in that sort of thing. And, we even have special ranks to give out to you. If you want to be a general, we can do that, but we'll call you an Arcane Lord or something.
But we're not a guild.
We have a Council, considered by ourselves as a Ruling Body, which is made up of the top three Ranks in our cute orgainization. And each leader has their own group of Three Officers.
But, we are not a guild.
If you wish to join our group, you must choose a division which suits you best.
Please fill out this application and send it to the leader of that division.
But, we are not a guild.
Even though we have a roster, called ourselves a guild twice, and are recruiting for members on a public corkboard with details of said group.....
We are not a guild.

Dear Recruiter,
Since you've elected not to share your name, or perhaps you did and I was unable to follow the litany of names listed in your missive, I should like to give you this bit of advice to your nameless magnificence. Attempts to gather a special operations force will be quite nearly otiose if you persist in advertising their existence. I have included the example to which I refer below:
<<Special Ops>>
Face2Loran- Dark Assassin (Black seat in council)
Codman4430- Assassin
LegolasofRhuDaur >>
I suggest marketing them as accountants. Which, when you consider it at length, can be far more fearsome than any assassin.

Annala,
Look, those are just names, labels, and have little to do with what the division REALLY is. The name comes from the opinions of the members of the division.
<<In my experience, groups who organize into military brigades which include "special ops" and "dark assassins" are, indeed, interested in "becoming a political force."

Fandral,
As I have already written, well, those are simply names. The "Dark Assassin" title is simply the name for tthe Council Black Seat. No more offending than the title "Warlord", in my opinion. And, well, yes, we do have some political aspirations, but those are trivial compared to the good of members. Finally, well, what group will get anywhere without leaders and those beneath them?

Look, we technically and really ARE a guild. What I meant by, quote, 'Well, if you are that way, it really isn't a guild' is that we are more interested in the good of our members and the group, rather than political power.
As for the fact about the Council of leaders, and the divisions, the group MUST have guidlines and leadership. Otherwise, it would fall apart. The same goes for special titles, as they are assistants to the leaders.
And, as for filling out an application, well, did I ever GIVE an application? No. You must simply contact the division leader for recruitment.
As I said before, if you don't like us, you bloody well can leave us alone. I am sure that that will be satisfactory to both of us.

As for the fact about the Council of leaders, and the divisions, the group MUST have guidlines and leadership. Otherwise, it would fall apart. The same goes for special titles, as they are assistants to the leaders.
And, as for filling out an application, well, did I ever GIVE an application? No. You must simply contact the division leader for recruitment.
As I said before, if you don't like us, you bloody well can leave us alone. I am sure that that will be satisfactory to both of us.

Many members already belong to Houses.
Also, well, what does the name matter? I have previously written that a *NAME* is little more than a label, giving a word to use when speaking about the group/object.

To all of those duelists that were afended by this post:
I'm deeply sorry that one of our actions as affended you. We had no intention of affending or angering anyone. So, please, let this issue rest and move on. Since many people objected this post, we will cancel all further posts of our recruiting/guild.
To all those that believe we intend on being a political force:
Our intention is not for political power, since that does not even interest us. And for all of you that don't believe me.....I stand by my word, and if at anypoint in time that you believe we are striving to become a political force, e-mail me and we will refrain from doing so.
And for all those that do not fall into the previous two categories:
Just move on.....

No, it doesn't.

It wouldn't fall apart if it didn't have rules. And titles aren't necessary. By making titles and assistants to leaders, and calling yourself a guild, and having rules, you open yourself to many things I am against, and therefore shall be mocked.
>And, as for filling out an application, well, did I ever GIVE an application?

The missing application was my little addition, because recruiting for a guild, you may as well have an application to fill out. Probably best you didn't have one, or I woulda shredded you and your guild on it. Truely my loss, as I take great pleasure in turning an application into a great farce.

I am sure I -Could- leave you alone. I know I could, but since you are a guild, I will have much more fun entertaining myself by teasing and mocking you and yours because of this.
What will be satisfactory to me is if you disband your guild, never appear in the dueling areas again with any notions of recruiting for any other group or guild, and hide under the rock from whence you appeared. Otherwise, no satisfaction will be gained.

WE are not petitioning for members, but we posted a recruitment drive publicly. We are telling people of the guild, Galadrim, opening ourselves up to G in order for him to mock us as he has so many other guilds in the past, and make ourselves look pretty foolish. We are Encouraging people to try to join, but we're NOT Petitioning for Members or Recruiting. And while it is not designed Specifically as a petition of recruitment, it sure does sound
like one.

The Galadrim won't take just anyone, those too smart won't approach us, and if they did, we'd have to deny them because we wouldn't want lower ranks looking smarter and better than the leaders. We're not recruiting, but if you want to join, we welcome you, and will likely take you because as a guild, our standards are set so low, that we'd even take G despite him making us look like such fools.. not that he'd ever approach us, it's definitely our
loss. Potential members will be judged on dueling talent, but we'll take commoners with terrible records, strategy, despite those losing a majority of duels, and knowledge of realms, meaning if you can make it to the Arena, Outback/Dojo/whereever they fight now, or Twilight Island, you're in!
>Well, that is all for now. Contact me with any further questions.
Contact me so I can let you join!!!!
