Larkin here once again, with more interviews from the tourney. This time I'm
talking to a new manager, so new he doesn't even have a manager name. "Sir... what
would you like me to call you, by the way?"
"Why do you have to call me anything? I don't understand why you want to
interview me. There are lots of great managers here who could probably tell you
stuff--"
"I'm looking for a new perspective, the point of view of someone who is just
starting out with the gladiatorial games."
"Oh. Well, I guess that would be me."
"Absolutely right! Tell me, what do you think of the tourney? This is your
first, right?"
"Right, my first," the young man agreed. "And it's GREAT! Everyone is just
great here! I mean, most of these managers, they're, like, legends, you know?
Everybody's heard of them, and they have stables of HUNDREDS of gladiators, and
they've been polishing their tricks for YEARS, and I didn't figure I had much of a
chance, you know?"
"The popular view is that no matter how much you know, the arena can always
throw a surprise at you--"
"Yeah, yeah, I've heard that. I don't know if I believe it, but I've heard it.
But that isn't the best thing about this tourney. The best thing is that everyone
here has been GREAT. Or else I didn't meet them--the ones that might not have been.
But I think I met just about everyone, and--"
"And they were great. I'm glad. But perhaps you could tell our readers a
little more, maybe tell them how these experienced managers were great to you?"
"Well, yeah, okay. It's that everyone was so friendly and helpful, see? The
ENTIRE Consortium talked to me about warrior design, for instance. I learned a lot
there. And, well, there was Mannequin, and The Greek Guy, and I actually met
Manager, too! And they were all really helpful. Advice, you know, and charts, and
all that stuff that was so confusing. It was just the best experience! I'm going to
do it again, for sure!"

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
This is getting ridiculous, and more than a little insulting. I should be
Invited to the Isle! I've put in my time, paid my dues, why does no Invitation come?
I've got the fights and the wins, the political points for sure. Okay, only one
rating, but that's a Mastership. I should be Invited. I deserve it!
Pete Mastiff
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
JHELUM brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, TRIBAL COUNCIL, since
DOGS OF WAR took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. I can just hear
all the boasts coming in KIWI CONNECTION's next personal ads. Their first turn they
went 4-0-1. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see IRONSIDE win a fight and
gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL beat MAT'ARI and MAT'ARI lost
6 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, JHELUM may
be getting bland, as PETE MASTIFF stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good
mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you,
JHELUM?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only
shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
