DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I know it seems kind of pointless to do a Duelmaster's column when all of the other
teams in the arena are Mannequin's, but how often does a basher get to hang out at
the top? Actually, let me answer that for you--when all of the strikers are resting
up for a tourney. In any case, now that I have your attention, there are a few
people I want to thank for helping me get here, which are my pals Lord Xiang and JGW.
Hey, where'd they go? I might as well thank Mannequin (or "Manny" as he is
affectionately known in some circles), since in addition to being my arena nemesis,
he assisted (nemessisted?) with turning one of my new Craftymates into a pummel-o-
matic machine (hmm, pummel-o-matic--could make for a good character name). In any
case, I realize that DM columns are kind of an antiquated thing, but since I have an
antiquated manager from the early days of Alastari, deal with it. For what it's
worth, I've still written less than a personal ad from Hammer. Bring on the aimers!!
-- Bashful
SPY REPORT
Welcome MORDANT. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Biff! Pow! MORDANT
watched with glee as MANNEQUIN'S BEST got knocked off top spot by SEA DOGS! Hmmmph!
I always thought RUSTED ARMOR was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0!
Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out
the pain! STEEL LEGION is now ranked 4th with a 5-0-0 turn. It seems so recently
people were saying LIVE FROM MOSCOW! was washed up, finished. But 3-0-0 moved them
up 3. I guess they're washed no more... What's with BELY MEDVED? He actually beat
SWEORDMASTERS' WOEBEGONE, and walked away with 23 more points from the fight. Major
screwup at SWEORDMASTERS. WOEBEGONE lost 18 points to BELY MEDVED. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe WOEBEGONE will provide more easy wins... Another fighter
(FROZEN ROPE 12-9-0) challenged another Duelmaster (BASHFUL 14-5-0). Life goes on.
I'm sure MORDANT is excited about FROZEN ROPE, the new Duelmaster from MANNEQUIN'S
BEST. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice to
have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of
convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, DEATH'S DOOR!
In my day, no team with a 102-87-1 would scare me off! What's the problem, SHE'S
CRAFTY? What do people see in MAKESHIFT ANCHOR? His 16-8-0? SEA DOGS ain't
talkin', but he's got 80 points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the
kind of fights that CHEESE WHIZ gets in. It fights people like COMICUS, 8 points
below. I thought CHEESE WHIZ showed great skill and promise when it beat COMICUS.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? I like to see warriors put young whippersnappers in their
place. I guess you could say LAB EXPERIMENTS'FRENCH TICKLER did just that. Right
KLK FISTS HAMMERZ? Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?
To die so young, so gloriously!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? The
end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
