DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, that was unexpected! I got the invite to the Isle 2 turns early, by all
the rules I've heard of. Oh well, that just means I get to start training stats
sooner. As anyone who has faced me can attest to, I am not a typical TP... my
numbers: 9-10-9-17-17-5-17. I know 9 out of 10 managers would have made this just
about anything else, but I have no regrets being born this way about a decade ago.
Buri did get the same roll-up last F2F, and made it a 8-9-9-17-15-5-21 AB, the big
difference is, I made it out alive! My brother is still alive, but for how long?
Many would have raised ST to 11 as well, but it was a bit of an experiment, and I
found that 9 works perfectly well for my design, even with the occasional Plate
armor. I've had no stat trains thus far, but all that will change now, as I intend
to work on the physicals and stay a Freshman for as long as I can. Fare Well,
Transel! -- Sputterbuzz
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. We now have a new top team for all of you guys
to dogpile on. TACKLE BOX now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.
Hey everybody, watch out for ELMINOTH, who flew up 16 points in the rankings after
mashing CAPTURED ORC like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a
basher in the top ten was ELVORA, who dropped 9 points after a disappointing (to say
the least) bout with FLASHER. Well, everybody's pal SPUTTERBUZZ moved its record to
14-5-0 by defeating CHAS CRINGER in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 7
recognition points. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger
halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid TACKLE BOX, please raise you hand. Wow. Does TRANSEL really have that many
liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch REIGN's act in the arena. Those
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from TACKLE BOX.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real, and its been fun,
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
We congratulate Sputterbuzz. That's hard to say in a hurry, especially if you're
drinking. But there it is, we congratulate Sputterbuzz anyway. Good work. -- the
Psycho Squad
Sputterbuzz -- Oh... a title match again. I don't know if I can handle these things.
I'm sure it's too much, even though you were so patient. I think I need to go lie
down. -- Faintly Frannie
Swivel -- Sneaky! I just got me grip to start cringing you, and you SWIVELED. You
weren't THERE to be cringed! That's... practically underhanded. -- Chas Cringer
P.S. But the fans were on my side. Swiveling is all well and good in its PLACE, but
for real appeal, you want a thorough cringing.
P.P.S. And more skills.
I don't think I actually meant to hit that boy, but he was so... THERE. So inviting.
So I did. -- Bashful Bennie
Someone told me to put my finances in the hands of a Scribe, and I did, but I just
couldn't stand to have them out of my sight. The worry! And when I went to get them
back, I found he'd EMBEZZLED them. So I had to beat him up and riffle his pockets.
And he started screaming and calling me a THIEF, and I just DON'T KNOW if the
constables will believe my side of the story or NOT. The TENSION, you can't conceive
how bad it is! -- Allen Angst
Sonny Boy II -- Well, heck, I meant to greet you with an axe, even though you aren't
family. I wanted you to feel like you were as important to me as real family. Maybe
next time, I will. -- Sweet Freddy
P.S. Have an axe, and make you feel important.
