DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Chance, my thanks for the challenge. I hadn't realized it was my turn to win.
Osanna
P.S. Well done, Sable! There are too many orcs around here as it is.
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for NIANIA. Like, THE GOLDEN FISH had to be
so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by HARLEQUINS! Way to go HARLEQUINS!
MVP award for SOLITARE? HARLEQUINS' proud of him after beating TOOFLESS and getting
21 points. Talk about yer big time losers! TOOFLESS got smashed by SOLITARE, and
lost 9 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think OSANNA
should let M. CHARDINEE be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Is the
Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of HARLEQUINS must be getting lonely.
They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Is there
some deep dark secret why BIG COUNTRY's been avoiding HARLEQUINS so much? Or is it
just that they're too scared? Like, is MORADOR popular, or what? He was challenged
the most in all of NIANIA! He's got a 7-1-0, is that good? Some fights are really
unfair. How do you think YELLOW PIKE feels about being challenged by MORADOR, 30
points above him? Is this how RESURRECTION advances, by having their members
(MORADOR) fight people that are really below them (YELLOW PIKE)?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All NIANIA ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. I hear RESURRECTION sent BASHIRA to the Dark Arena. What, is
that like not well-lit, or what? Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Osanna -- That was a harsh lesson. Learning to die was not what I was looking for.
-- Chance
Fierce One-eye -- Hope that I didn't get you in your good eye. -- Solitaire
Ashira Gala -- Some people have all the luck! Several days bedrest.... (wistful
sigh) -- Analira
Morador -- (wincing) Got any aspirins? I really need some. About...five, maybe. --
Yellow Pike
Big Red -- That seems so incomplete a name. Big red WHAT, for pete's sake? --
Abalonea
Jeffery -- I see now why you drew that fight out so long, you wanted plenty of time
to observe my techniques, actions, and routines. And I, fool that I was,
demonstrated them to you. (sigh) -- Lubaya
TigToad -- Well, I can tell you that our Dark Arena is very, very dark. So dark that
we can't tell what goes on in there. -- Bettina, for The Golden Fish
All -- Hey I'm back. For how long depends on the prison I'm at. They are talking
about taking all envelopes out. So I won't be able to play. All we will have is
postcards to mail out. I can't (won't) be able to send strat sheets out. But till
they make the final decision, I will have fun. Believe that (Wally the Wacko) Big
Country
Abalonea -- Looks like I beat you again. This is getting fun. But let's not make it
a trend. But I still like beating you down. It is good for my ego, you know me
being small and all. Well, I also have a big heart. (smile) -- Big Red
Toofless -- This is twice you beat my warriors. Now I know what you are and a few
other things. So I know will create a guy just for you. -- Big Country
P.S. Congrats on your win. Good fight.
Skid Mark -- What a weird name. You beat me like you owned me. But I won't get a
rematch. My manager has to make room for a new guy. I'm afraid of the dark place.
Bye you all. -- John Boy
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

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
