DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Crayola Killers, I'm in trouble, aren't I? And all because Burnt Ochre insisted
on parrying with his pelvis and head, when I was aiming at his arm, right? Darn.
And the arenamaster wouldn't let me get away with hiding the evidence by burying him
in the sand, either.
I regret Ochre's death. It was needless.
Derbie Foyle
P.S. Why couldn't he just surrender?
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
KALTOS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Now let's all watch PARTY ANIMALS'
heads swell from their 3-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big
deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see JOHN TYLER win a fight and gain
17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, FRIED TWINKIE beat HOWLER and HOWLER lost 8 points.
You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as BEATLE
BAILEY takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh.
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, KALTOS?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? MORE NEW TEAMS 2 was the most
avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led
the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was PARTY
ANIMALS. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, FARON HARN was this turn's
most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. FARON HARN was
challenged by one of PARTY ANIMALS' warriors this turn, with BULL DURHAM having a
lead of 35 points going into the fight. And sorry to say, BULL DURHAM bested FARON
HARN, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term I'm
looking for.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
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. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Well, that sucked. So ends the career of the most bonused warrior I've had to
date, dead most likely one victory from graduation and a long ADM career. At least
the dead tourney's coming up, he can get a start on clawing his way back through dead
champs. See you all again in about five or ten years! I'm outta here. -- Stik and
Crayola Killers
Losses to three standbys? This is ridiculous! -- Adela Chu, team captain, Middle Way
25 August 2003
To any that care -- The CDC is back; our current roster is:
Malaquar -- Minion of Guardian
Pip the Troll -- Burly Enforcer Type
mouse -- Official Sneaky Bastard
Papa Bear -- Elder Statesmen
The Sealer says, "Hi, I'm the dealer."
Papa Bear says, "It's not my f****n fault."

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
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
proud, the TOGS!

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
