     "Osanna, I'm ASHAMED of you!"  Bettina stood to block the doorway and glared at
the younger woman, who frowned in confusion.  "Speaking so flippantly to Chance,
after you killed him!"
     "I didn't realize he was dead until much later," Osanna protested.  "I thought
he was just, well, knocked out or something."
     "Like HECK you did.  You didn't think about Chance at all, you were full of
yourself and didn't think about anything else at all.  I can't believe you were so
insensitive!  You're supposed to PAY ATTENTION to other people.  Chance and his
teammates have been FRIENDLY, and THIS is how you return their friendship?"
     "Why are you getting all worked up?" Osanna asked, looking confused again.
"It's over.  Besides, there wasn't anything I could do about Chance.  Dead is dead,
and it could have been me.  Was I supposed to wish I was dead instead?"
     "You could have apologized.  You could have said you were sorry, or--"
     Osanna frowned.  "But why should I?  Sure, it would be fine to have Chance alive
again, but I can't do anything ABOUT that, and if one of us had to die, I'm glad it
wasn't me, okay?  Besides, it was an accident.  I didn't go out there TRYING to kill
him, so what should I apologize for, being a better gladiator?"
     "It's too bad you can't be a better person!" Bettina growled.  "I'm glad you're
leaving!"

                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Bettina says I was insensitive last time, and I guess I was.  I didn't mean to
be, I just wasn't paying much attention.  Would it be insensitive for me to say that
I would much rather have killed M. Chardinee?

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of NIANIA!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  It seems so recently people were 
saying RESURRECTION was washed up, finished.  But 3-1-2 moved them up 1.  I guess 
they're washed no more...  What's with BETTY?  She actually beat OF WOLF AND MAN 6's 
DEUINAS, and walked away with 26 more points from the fight.  Major screwup at 
HARLEQUINS.  SOLITARE lost 5 points to BIG RED.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe 
SOLITARE will provide more easy wins...  NIANIA, set your sights on VETERAN 
MERCENARY.  He'll be happy to entertain all requests after defeating OSANNA.  MORADOR 
looked pretty Duelmasterlike as he took NIANIA's top spot with 78 points.  Now, what 
will OSANNA do?  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...  The most avoided team 
was GLORY BOUND TROLLS.  The bums at BIG COUNTRY couldn't face the challenges from 
GLORY BOUND TROLLS!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in ANALIRA?  Hers 6-8-1? 
THE GOLDEN FISH ain't talkin', but she's got 58 points.  HOSS of BIG COUNTRY knows 
how to pick 'em.  He challenged FIERCE ONE-EYE of GLORY BOUND TROLLS who is up by 20. 
Now was this a wise move?  HOSS perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was 
bested by FIERCE ONE-EYE and ended up with 12 recognition points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Who will dare fight ASHIRA GALA, after she returned from the 
Dark Arena?  (For the record 9-7-1 is 62, and has she points) Hmm...  More surprises 
must remain in store for me, if JOS can return from the Dark Arena.  BETTY of BIG 
COUNTRY has spared DEUINAS from the boredom of a warrior's retirement...  But I doubt 
OF WOLF AND MAN 6 is grateful.  ANALIRA larned hers lesson (MORADOR taught it well), 
and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any RESURRECTION members with the same 
gusto.  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so 
young, so gloriously!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  All work 
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Jinx and Ghost of Chance -- My most sincere apologies for Osanna's heartless comment
last time.  The only thing I can say is that I skimmed the fights and newsletter so
fast that I didn't realize Chance had died.  I regret this. -- Player behind The
Golden Fish

Wally the Wacko -- And a welcome back to you. -- Bettina, for The Golden Fish

Big Red -- Ah, Big Red Ego? -- Abalonea

Ashira Gala -- (checking anxiously to make sure there is no death involved)  Maybe
you need to change weapons? -- Analira

Morador -- Amazing the way you soak up those skills.  Is it something you can share?
-- Yellow Pike

Jarck -- I didn't know Karragit came so tall! -- Lubaya
P.S.  You shouldn't have tried to steal my initiative.  I'm very possessive of it.

Big Red -- Small Arena Syndrome brings us together yet again. -- Abalonea

Half-Time -- You got lucky this time.  You fought well and won.  I will give you
that.  Congrats.  But you can believe we will meet again soon.  And next time I will
come out with the win. -- Betty

Fierce One Eye -- Yeah, well, I guess you played better and outwitted me.  Cause of
my last loss to you I'm going away to a dark place.  I'm alright with it though.  My
manager needs to put a new guy on the team.  Someone who can help the cause. --
Jeffery
P.S.  See ya all.  Nice knowing ya.

Abalonea -- We have got to stop meeting like this.  People will start talking.  You
teach very well though.  I do things a little different, huh!  Like my moves?  I
might have to show you some in private one day. -- Big Red
P.S.  Don't think I'm picking on you.  I just can't get my challenges through.

Well XQ...Z...Me -- Yeah, yeah, you won.  Who cares?  I just want you to know, you
will pay for that loss you gave me.  Smile now.  Cause you won't smile when my
brother comes to the sands.  He will be here shortly. -- Hoss

Where are Samurai Kids?  Is she scared to show her stable on the sands?  If she won't
come out, I will go to one of her arenas. -- Big Country, mgr. Wally The Wacko

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

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,

                 ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
     The last Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse was one of the closest and most exciting
contests ever held in Alastari.  Such an epic demands a sequel.  Therefore, Master
Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe
Slaughterhouse.
     Where?  Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow).  When?  The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207,
due August 19.  How can you get into the action?  Bring a team (one per entrant
please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals.
     Rules:  This time around the rules are very simple.  Each warrior win against a
higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10
points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points.  Wins against
NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points.  Points are doubled for
kills.  All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not
are fair game.  Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked
up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion.
     Prizes:  To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it.  Figure it will
be something pretty good.  But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being
Slaughterhouse Champion awaits!
     More info:  Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider,
russtulp@aol.com.  Or diplo Darque Forces (428) or Dynastic (433) in Arena 45.
