DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail Niania!
I will be on my way to the Isle after this week's events. I did make a challenge
this time to look death straight in the eye. I wanted to test my courage on my last
fight here on Niania sands. Home Guard is my next place of battle, come join me
there if you wish.
Lord Protector Sable
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, NIANIA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, HARLEQUINS, since THE GOLDEN
FISH took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see OSANNA win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
HALF-TIME beat SADAHARU OH and SADAHARU OH lost 7 points. You're breakin' my heart.
SABLE Dark Arena Challenged BLACK ORC for NIANIA's Title this turn, and guess what
happened? And if variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as SABLE
stays top dog in the city. Jim's Tap Room, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From NIANIA's trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? RESURRECTION was the most avoided
team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like BIG
COUNTRY avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask
me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, ANALIRA was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. YELLOW PIKE was challenged by one of
RESURRECTION's warriors this turn, with MORADOR having a lead of 22 points going into
the fight. Question now is, will NIANIA accept this sort of tacky behavior? MORADOR
beating YELLOW PIKE. The insult, the....yech! I guess I can give a little credit to
SOLITARE of HARLEQUINS for challenging up by 22 to FIERCE ONE-EYE. SOLITARE won to
get 25 points of recognition.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Whoa! I'll even buy SABLE a drink
tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good
side! Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... CHANCE, a glorious 15-17-0 fighter, has passed
away. Gee, too bad HARLEQUINS. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what
brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in NIANIA to get a drink than Jim's Tap Room!
Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too.
Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Hi all... just timing a little. Whether I stay around for a while mostly depends on
your dark arena... -- TigToad
Osanna -- Are you sure? I might be able to learn something else. -- Chance
Ashira Gala -- Now, that is amazing. How did you manage to lose to me? And why? --
Analira, perplexed
Bashira -- Hmm, are we setting up some kind of trend here? I could ask the same
questions Analira did, but I do have a little more experience than you do... unless
you're into tourneys, of course. -- Osanna
Fierce One-Eye -- Well, you know how it goes. I'm no way a great warrior, but I'm an
experienced one. That kind of thing does tend to make a difference. -- Yellow Pike
P.S. I have no idea why you didn't learn more. I demonstrated some of my best
moves.
Toofless -- Ugh! I hate endurance contests. Good work. -- Abalonea
Kalald -- Hmm. Do you suppose this is some kind of SIGN? -- Lubaya the confused
Sable -- We do. -- Bettina and the rest of the The Golden Fish
P.S. Congratulations on your graduation.
30 April 2003
All -- Remember to put your arena number on your strategy sheets. Strategies turned
in without an arena number run the risk of missing the turn. -- NAIEI
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
