DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, there it is again. Shocking goes down, and for a mere two skills, and I
get the THRILL of writing this "column." I don't know how I can stand it.
Maretha
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for BLOOD MASTER, who
flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing LAMBRAY like a melon. Keep your eye
on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SPIKE
MCGOLD was bested by KUNG-FU MASTER and drops 15 points. Going for the gusto and
coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was NIANIA's VETERAN MERCENARY, who was
turned away from the Duelmastership by MARETHA. An apple a day keeps the doctor
away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the NIANIA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The
Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
The Shocker -- Though I don't know why I address the personal to YOU, because I'm not
at all sure you bother to read the newsletter. Anyway, I say with manifest surprise
(notice how well I'm manifesting it?), gosh, you won! -- Mari Coy
P.S. I wonder if a strategy change would help me? I wonder if one is possible....
Ah, greater dedication have few men than to haul their ancient, aching bones out onto
the sands just to teach me a single skill. I tried to explain that he could have
taught me TWO skills, I wouldn't have minded or protested, but he was too interested
in getting to the bar (did you know there's a bar in the Infirmary?) for his after-
fight toddy. Oh, well. -- Mellisande
I've got no patience with these hairy little buggers from Khalhums. Let 'em go BACK
to Khalhums, is what I say. -- Spike McGold
We note new teams on the front page! Can it be, is it possible, that we may fight
someone ELSE for a change? That someone else may write a personal? -- The Golden
Fish
11 August 2006
All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights! If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light! We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)! Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light
26 August 2006
The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared?
Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be
crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can
easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women
shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to
whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm
