DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Bad luck to you, Chyna, old girl. I may LOOK like a nice guy, I may have a
wimpy style (not my choice!), but I can be as tough as it takes.
Babyface
P.S. I suppose I'll face Kogitsune Maru today, or else a standby. I'd rather the
standby!
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
MORDANT. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Say
good-bye to MANNEQUIN'S BEST, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by
the HOMICIDAL MANIACS stable. Hey everybody, watch out for FACELESS, who flew up 21
points in the rankings after mashing LORD BLEEDS like a melon. Keep your eye on this
gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. LORD BLEEDS was
defeated by FACELESS and drops 17 points. Going for the gusto and coming up with
aught but bloody knuckles was MORDANT's CHARK FORKBEARD, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by BABYFACE. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a
bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad LAME SUPERHEROES? Big bad LAME
SUPERHEROES. Big bad LAME SUPERHEROES. MORDANT's afraid of the big bad LAME
SUPERHEROES. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause SOULTAKER OLYMPICS beats feet every time LAME SUPERHEROES smiles at
them. Try farming, eh?
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the MORDANT giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been
real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Mannequin -- Oh, you're such a bad boy, sending Vortex in to kill Bomanz like that.
I notice you seem to be more kill-happy with M's Best than with Sweordmasters. Is
that just coincidence or is there a method to your 'madness'? -- Darkfist
Haydan -- Deserters offend me so I killed him but something tells me that there are
always more cowards out there.... -- Sylith
Stupendous Man -- Hm, the fight shouldn't have been so close, need to rethink my
strategies. -- Faceless
Grammaw -- Hey, I love cookies too! But if I raised my mask to take a bite I'd have
to rely on you to keep my appearance a secret. -- Faceless
Kogitsune Maru -- (muttering fiercely and darting suspicious glances in all
directions) Foreigners! Moving into the neighborhood, letting the properties run
down! LOWERING THE PROPERTY VALUES! I hate that. -- Man Next Door
Orcs eat too much. But at least they know when they should lose a fight. -- Grammaw
Nefarious -- My DEAR boy, you should realize that it's no use at all to be nefarious
if you can't be successful. A good guy who loses may get some sympathy and cookies,
but a nefarious villain who loses just gets laughed at. -- Lucrece
P.S. And you have no talent for this stuff.
Bottle Swallowing -- It seems to me that there is a flaw in your plan. One is
supposed to swallow the contents of the bottle, not the bottle itself. After all,
glass and plastic are not biodegradable. -- Haydan
Darkfist -- Glad to have you here and talking. Up until very recently, TigToad held
up the other end of conversation here, but he's gone to greener pastures. You
arrived just in time! -- Nick
P.S. Just be careful not to come between Lady Protector Sandy, an earlier graduate
of this team and one who well exemplifies the team name, and her chosen prey.
10 May 2003
To All -- Fellow managers, I humbly request your help. My team (Ex Oblivione) was
started in Monuntial (DM 34) back in '92. They were active for seven months. I have
lost all early traces of them. If any of you can help with copies of relevant
newsletters or, if you fought one of my warriors, copies of the fights, I would
greatly appreciate it. I only have one of my original warriors left from the early
team now active in DM 60. You can diplo me with any info here in the wonderful city
of Aradi. Thank you in advance. -- Enigma, manager Ex Oblivione

Assurnasirbanipal invites all to use his computerized warrior management tool. The
program is the most extensive management tool ever created. It was meant to run on a
PALM OS PDA, but will run (emulated) on a PC or MAC. You can get this program on the
web at: http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir
27 May 2003
A note to everyone regarding manager names and manager lists -- If you're running a
team incognito, all you have to do is let me know and I won't put your name on any
manager lists. It has seemed though, that more people want their names listed, even
if they do not announce themselves, than the other way around. Also, I do maintain
the list more or less by hand and errors do creep in. You have but to say I've made
an error and no one will be the wiser (except thee and me, of course). -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
