                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

I have been quite remiss and failed to provide you with a duelmaster's column for 2 or 
3 turns now.  I have no real excuse...  My idjit of a manager has been sick, but 
that's no real excuse.  Please accept my abject apologies...

To be honest, I'm not even sure how I got here...my basic natural abilities are 
nothing special, and I'm not exactly a shining exemplar of my style. Maybe I'm just 
lucky?

I know none of you lost on purpose, but to all of you put me here, or allowed me to 
stay, I thank you, and hope that none of you were hurt too badly, physically or 
emotionally.  I'm not avoiding anyone to if you want another crack at me, bring it on!

See you all on the sands!

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
IAYE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, CLOWDER W/ CLAWS, since 
HARD KNOCKS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now let's all 
watch LENPROS' heads swell from their 3-0-0 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big 
talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SELLSWORD win a fight 
and gain 17 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, SELLSWORD beat =^.^= and =^.^= lost 12 
points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Looks like IAYE has some guts at least, 
PROSPECTOR WILLIE the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior.  MAX 
challenged IAYE's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.  And it's out with the old, in 
with the new, as MAX takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. 
Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of 
these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  THE 
YOUNG ONES, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.  
Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And it looks like HARD KNOCKS avoided 
them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  I 
guess I can give a little credit to CALAMITY JANE of BOOT HILL for challenging up by 
24 to NEAL.  CALAMITY JANE won to get 83 points of recognition.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for IAYE's 
morgue.  More variety.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need 
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
