DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Dear Pete, you have been cursed by your team name. You need to speak to your
manager about this. To call you Bumblers! That is just asking for trouble. And I
am sure you could do better, if you hadn't been impeded and BLOCKED by that
unfortunate name.

SPY REPORT
Hail OSKSI! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. And let's see, THE fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 20 points and
contributed to COOL WORDS' 3-0-1. OTIS has lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, falling 11
points, while helping make FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT a 4-1-0 turn. And all eyes were on
FLAGPOLE PANTIES this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. OSKSI has a
new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under
the table at The Elefont?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the BOMBAY BUMBLE BEES stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on OSKSI, what are you afraid of? And avoiding BOMBAY
BUMBLE BEES more than any other team we find FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT. OSKSI, are we going
to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that OSKSI has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?
Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in OSKSI, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in OSKSI again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Where I come from, such Dangerous Criminals would not be given this chance to prey
upon the public! They would be executed out of hand. Their heads would be mounted
on stakes at the city's gate. Not CODDLED and given respectable careers! It's a
disgrace, and no wonder that this Osksian Empire is in decline. -- Shara Khor
Coddled criminals' heads? What an odd picture that makes. -- Ed.
You see one Fratsfa Slave, you've seen them all, and they're all worthless. -- Yatzee
Much as it pains me to agree with that oaf, Yatzee, there is some truth in his
assertion. -- Tarhella Vhu
Captured Orcs are fun. They are so EASY to fool. You can win anything off them. --

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
