DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Obviously we could not have the Kung-Fu Master, an ORC, as Duel2Dude. So I had
to step in and do my best for poor old Niania Arena. It was a sacrifice, but I made
it. No, no, I need no applause, just throw money.
Golden Shark
P.S. When you note that the arena steward doesn't allow him to carry weapons, well,
you have to wonder what he KNOWS about this alleged Kung-Fu Orc.
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for MELLISANDE, who flew up 12 points in the rankings after mashing VETERAN
MERCENARY like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the
top ten was SPIKE MCGOLD, who dropped 6 points after a disappointing (to say the
least) bout with VETERAN MERCENARY. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but
bloody knuckles was NIANIA's INSURANCE SALESMAN, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by GOLDEN SHARK. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a
bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were
votes, MARI COY would be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to
win. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, CATSUP went after MARI COY, who
was higher by 25 points. Well, when the dust settled, CATSUP overcame MARI COY.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in NIANIA have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

One Armed Bandit -- Think we had the same idea? *evil grin* -- Lord Xiang
Scurvy Lad -- I think we both registered with the Commission on the same day. *grin*
-- Crash N Burn
Dear Venomous Concubine,
If you want to escape, to leave the arena forever, I will help.
Mellisande
P.S. I would like so much NOT to meet you on the sands again. It's depressing.
P.P.S. I may look into venom for myself, too.
Do you suppose they're training up the Captured Orc to become a Kung-Fu Orc when
there is a vacancy in that position? It makes me nervous just thinking about that
possibility. Down with orcs! -- Mari Coy
P.S. Not that have anything against orcs, as such, but better to stay on the right
side of the Shark, you know.
If I was six-foot-two and called a dwarf, I'd probably become a dangerous criminal,
too! It'd be better if the Commission just admitted that it has no sense of humor.
Pretending doesn't work. -- Spike McGold
Greybeard -- If this is your "retirement plan" from being a dog of the sea, I think
you should demand a refund. A dog's life would be better. -- Maretha
Golden Shark -- I invite you into the alley of your choice, and we'll see who
emerges, eh? -- Seef Haraine, Venomous Concubine of Niania

The Olympics have arrived!
The Mordanti Olympics, having been gone for six years, have returned to the Mordanti
Alliance, sponsored by Amicitia Primoris. Teams have competed against each other for
recognition and notoriety four times in the past. It is far past time for the fifth
Mordanti Olympics to be held. The Mordanti Olympics shall be held in the Mordant
arena (DM-1) from May 1st (T544) through Oct 30 (T557). There will be a
'registration period' lasting until T543, where teams will be allowed to register by
activating in Mordant and declaring their participation in the personals. Rules will
be posted in the Mordant arena (DM-1) newsletter no later than T543, but shall be
available online before then. An announcement will be made as to where they will be
posted. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
