Well, I must confess, I sort of backed into the DMship.  The previous
DM was a nasty lunger who was going to ADM.  There were two Challenger
Champions, first a waste with about 35 fights, 25 wins, and a Plunger with
about 17 wins and 10 losses.  I wasn't about to challenge the waste (she'd
already beaten my lunger twice), so I challenged the plunger (whom my lunger
had already beaten).  The waste challenged the DM, and lost.  I beat the
plunger by knocking him off his feet with my first blow and never letting
him get up (I was going 10-10-7 HE BD L in ALE/L with a longspear).  I
hit him in the face and chest while he was down, and that was it.

Actually, this was pretty typical for this lunger of mine.  In most
of his wins, he gets in the first blow and never lets up, winning without
taking a hit.  A couple of times, against fast strikers he's gotten hit
a couple of times, gone desparate, and then taken the striker out with one
stab.  That's always refreshing :-).

Is 20 fights early to be Duelmaster?  (Fazzur Widerend is 14-6-3).
