DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What the heck am I doing here?!? I only have 17 FE! Every active warrior in the
Challenger Champs has more than that just showing in arena record. Well, at least
most of them are TPs...there ARE an awful lot of TPs here. What's up with that? I
didn't expect that in a Delarquan arena. Not that I'm complaining, mind you! I need
the TPs just to have a chance of surviving up here. This means my challenges go to
the top two active TPs in the arena: Sandman and Go Fish. Sorry Quicksand, you have
over twice my FE just showing in your arena record and two kills to boot. I need to
do what I can to survive this premature rise to the top of this arena.
Altun Ha
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt OSKSI will ever be the same. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for BOMBAY BUMBLE BEES, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them
by 6 into 8th. GAMES LIBRARY stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 4 space
move up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! OSKSI
welcomes a new team to our ranks, unofficially of course, for now. But welcome
nonetheless to THE NUKES. Let's see what you can do. And let's see, FREDDY FUNGUS
fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 21 points and contributed to THE NUKES' 3-2-2.
RATATOSK has lost to DEEANN RAKOVICH, falling 14 points, while helping make AESIR a
1-4-0 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was between SANDMAN and our Duelmaster ALTUN
HA, making a challenge. We should ask SANDMAN about the thrill of victory, and what
being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. Tell me, is
nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Elefont uses trolls
in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. AMERICAN APPRAISAL has cause to
stand tall, as they were OSKSI's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a
team to beat. And guess who avoided AMERICAN APPRAISAL stable the most? Believe it
or not, it was SIMPLY DESSERTS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice
that SANDMAN from SIMPLY DESSERTS was OSKSI's most challenged warrior this turn.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Is it really true that OSKSI has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in OSKSI and I've a long road ahead of me.
Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in OSKSI again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Sandman -- You're one of the most determined fishermen I've met recently. But though
you managed to make off with the win, you finko, at least you didn't get any skills.
Ha! -- Go Fish, hanging onto his cards
Bud Smith -- (goggling) You were able to deduce all that from one little chart? I'm
amazed. -- Graph
Deeann Bakovich -- (sternly) Being a secret admirer (how can you not admire me?)
is... Not Hoyle
Sand Crabs -- You had enough to pinch my toes anyway. Ouch! -- The Goalie
Thor -- God heavens, is this Buri returning? If so, welcome home to him. Whatever,
you ran afoul of my superior evolution or something. It must be superior, if I'm the
only one on the team to get a win. -- SimEarth

wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
