DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I tried. I tried to get Shy Guy to write the Duelmaster Column. But it
wasn't to be. I could not convince him to step forward into the public eye. Do you
think it is hereditary?
It is true that he keeps to himself, and he is, by far, the quietest of The
paper Mario's. But, then, the rest make enough noise to cover for him. Buncha
chatterboxes. They all practice well, (Shy Guy the fiercest) except Tubba Blubba who
seems to only think about one thing in life. And it shows!
I would say that Shy Guy is a comfortable favorite to repeat, if he can handle
another NPC, because Tiny Toes and Tubba Blubba sure have his back.
But only time will tell. I know this. This is the LAST column I am writing for
Shy Guy. No more!
Luigi for Shy Guy
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of KALTOS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team THE MIDDLE WAY 5 was
unseated this week as PAPER MARIO moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with
a 3-1-0 record for the round. STAR KIK caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested IRVINA KORL and was awarded 20 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KELLY put down TUBBA BLUBBA,
causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has SHY
GUY in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his
combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he
never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city KALTOS. KALTOS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is CASSEY'S CREW, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Apparently the stalwarts of PAPER MARIO are catching the bulk of jests down at the
challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Some say a warrior is judged by the way
he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in KALTOS as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed
a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Wow! I beat Veteran Mercenary in my last DM Title fight! I must be good. -- Slinky
(bye bye all)
Wait! I beat him too! Hah! Does that make ME Duelmaster? Oh, it did?! -- Shy Guy
(rather overwhelmed by it all)
A wonderful surprise for you, Shy Guy! Well done, Champ. Perhaps now you will break
out of that shell? -- Luigi, Manager Paper Marios
Katirona Murh -- I enjoyed that. Perhaps we can have another dance in a less
aggressive environment? -- Tiny Toes
Jammy, Jammy, Jammy, today was MY day! Now I am going to celebrate and EAT! Wanna
come along? -- Tubba Blubba
Felissa Hurm -- I challenged, but you were clearly the better warrior in that battle.
Salute. -- Goombario
P.S. And I am maxed for The Face, so I will be sitting out a couple. I am REALLY
sorry about Hilroc.
Jorja and The Middle Way Five -- I think you have the Adepts covered! (chuckle) --
Luigi
Goombario -- You're too stereotyped, probably insulting someone, yes? I think it's
the bone through your nose that's a clue. -- Felissa Hurm
P.S. Okay, maybe it's just a fashion statement. Not one I'd choose, however. It
wouldn't go with my hair, and what if I needed to blow my nose? In this weather, the
last is not improbable.
Tiny Toes -- May they be nibbled by mice. May your nail polish (Where did you get
that shade of Radioactive Green? You orcs are weird!) start creeping up toward your
ankles, because I'm sure something that looks like that must be alive, and I shudder
to think of what it could be after. -- Katirona Murh
Tubba Blubba -- How did you convince that Commission that you should be protected
because you're "an endangered species of whale"? Why didn't you have them LIST you
as a whale, then? Of course, if your true whalishness came out, you'd be barred from
the arena for exceeding the size even of the Dark Arena Shew, which is probably
against some kind of rule. -- Jammy Larke
P.S. Or, looking at it from another angle (hey, this is a weird day), I don't think
you're likely to win against the High-Priced Spread.
Kelly -- Wow, not a Paper Mario! In fact, a cute little chick. The weather being
what it is, how about conserving firewood and keeping warm by bundling? I bet we
could have fun. Just say the word. -- Pendru Rost
Ach, no, a Persistent Beggar! What does he WANT? He NEVER seems to stop begging,
even when hacked into dogmeat. Not that I'd feed him to a dog, this dude is
seriously suspicious, and *I* think he's probably contaminated! Although there's no
sign that he has ever used green nail polish. -- Irvina Korl
Luigi -- You should culpa! Nah, it happens. We know that. Well, I know it, I don't
know how the bozos on the sands feel about it. And it could be worse, I could be
losing one every turn, as I have elsewhere sometimes. -- Jorja, the Middle Way
