DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My two minute prediction gave Chuckie too much cred, it seems. Still, nice to
have a fight with a live target instead of the Commission rejects. Funny how it
works in this fightin' game... Chuck dominates Harpoon, I dominate Chuck... I bet
Harpoon would love to have a shot at me, heh...
Anyway, Bunion Squad policy (as decreed by Obregon), for sitting Duelmasters
only, has evolved into basically this:
* Never avoid
* Challenge anyone in the next tier down (Challengers or Champs), with preference
given to those I haven't fought before
* Go with a moderate kill desire on any challenges
The boss' thinking here is that at the upper end of the arena, it's not down-
challenging. It's more like taking on all of the contenders and giving them all a
shot. But the point is not to headhunt, just to take on all comers. So fair
warning: if you rise to within challenge range, I'm going to give you a crack at the
Title, whether you want it or not! Courtesy o' your everlovin' Duelmaster!
Scanning the ranks of the Champions, the only non-stablemate I haven't fought
yet is Kona Kate. So I'll swing by the cabana, have some smash, and make her a
violent proposition.
Here I come, Katey.
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of BONSUR. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. BEACH BABES? Who?
BUNION SQUAD is the top team these days, buddies! Say what you will about blind luck
and dirty fighting, but BUNION SQUAD will tell you 77-66-1 is nothing to laugh at...
SENTINELS had cause to celebrate, after BARILOCHE got 24 points by beating KONA KATE.
What can be a greater victory? SONYA has taken hers place as the top, as BONSUR's
new Duelmaster. Word has it one team in BONSUR is taking speech lessons to try to
bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so
did the "warriors" in BONSUR avoid BONSUR LONG NAMES. Like a pup with its tail
between its legs, BUNION SQUAD scurried away from BONSUR LONG NAMES. Oh, the shame!
Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever
it is, URSA MAJOR is the most challenged warrior. URSA MAJOR found himself
challenged by a warrior 21 below: SHEWISH PRINCESS. SHEWISH PRINCESS of BUNION
SQUAD kept hers wits as she beat URSA MAJOR.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
RAMROD of BUNION SQUAD spared BLAGO THE AXE (15-16-0) from having to lose any more
fights. What's your next plan, SENTINELS? A moment of silence for BLAGO THE AXE,
who died an untimely death at the hands of RAMROD. In the spirit of revenge, we call
upon SENTINELS to act! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Can anything
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for BONSUR? On that giddy note I take
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Getting beaten by a warrior with a dozen fewer fights ... oh, the humanity... wherrza
smash? -- Harpoon, reeling after losing four in a row
Bariloche -- I admire your tenacity, but it is a bad match for you. I suggest
challenging Harpoon. Just kidding. -- Blackjack
Khan -- I don't believe in the no-win scenario. -- Ramrod
Street Walker -- It seems I'm getting passed around your entire stable for easy
wins... no more! -- Princess
We, the Sentinel strikers, hereby swear that it is a bad idea to challenge walls of
steel that have previously defeated us. It is foolish, likely to be painful, and
unwise. We will not do so again. Unless, our manager puts in a silly challenge
against our wishes. Uhhh... boss! -- Etugen, Khan and Bariloche
The Shade Prancer -- Perhaps that works in the shade. But in an open arena, there
isn't much shade. Bright sunlight, even. Perhaps that is what made you such a
visible target for my challenge? Whatever it was, it worked well for me. -- Ursa
Major
Lila -- Nice fight. The thought of a post-fight smash is about the only good thing
to consider about it. I would be willing to partake of the smash you refused the
pirate last turn. -- Blago the Smashed
Rhonda -- It really is nice to meet you out on the sands. Honestly, it is just a
pleasurable thing. Now, perhaps we can enjoy a more peaceful bit of pleasure. Not
make war, so to speak. -- Orsinius
The Venomous Gigolo DESERVES to be poisoned. He's an awful man. -- Kona Kate
Blago the Axe -- What do you want a winning record for? It just leads to going too
high in the rankings and eventual graduation, and I assure that it isn't as much fun
on the Isle as it is here. Come to our party tonight and see! -- Luau Lila
The Arena Stalk -- So? Go stalk an arena, then. See if I care! -- Queenie
I felt sorry for the Captured Pirate, okay? I mean, he's an elf, I'm an elf, we have
a common ground. And no great love for human sailors. Besides, it was the shipping
from Tricorus that he was targeting, and who cares about THEM? -- Sarah Sundance
Orsinius -- Impressive! Let's talk about this further tonight. -- Redondo Rhonda
27 September 10
Note -- We are still looking for additional teams in Arvat, DM 32. I still have a
number of good team rollups available FREE for whoever wants one.
Contact the Devil Advocates ASAP to join the fun! You can either reach me by
diplo or on the RSI site.
Also, whoever sent me the diplo with no name on it requesting a rollup /
information on how to get into Arvat, I'm embarassed to admit that the diplo slipped
out of my folder and was lost. Please just send me another one with your mailing
address and I'll get a rollup to you ASAP. Sorry about that!
