DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail Arkers!! First off sorry about missing my DM column last cycle. Khisanth
has had his head up his hindside lately. He pledges to do better. Hoping to hold
the throne but who knows if I can.... Confidence gets my challenge once again (if it
ain't broke), and he taught me well in the last go round. My avoid to Z gladiatorz.
So until next cycle, Be well Arkers...
Dead Lee
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ARKERS games. My praise to YOU PAY I SLAY for their
4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of
notice! IMA SLAYER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested KOTTER NAHL and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, KERBIN NOTTS put down ZEPHYR, causing her to lose 4
points of recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior
on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster DEAD LEE himself.
Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on CONFIDENCE as he bore arms
against the challenge of reigning Duelmaster DEAD LEE. Although CONFIDENCE made a
valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious DEAD LEE. Would
you believe that over half of the old women in ARKERS seem to feel that they could
fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ARKERS "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in ARKERS these days is YOU PAY I SLAY. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find
any of SMITHSONIAN last week. Busy avoiding YOU PAY I SLAY? A match that raised a
few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that URA GONER posted a TV challenge
against the more highly recognized NORM QUESHA. The results, you ask? Well, the
firebrand URA GONER was defeated by NORM QUESHA. Remember warriors, this is the
discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? 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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ARKERS. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! 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
Congratulations and well done to Dead Lee. So that's what a real Duelmaster looks
like?! My goodness; you went through Confidence twice just like he was deaf, dumb,
or blind! -- Curator, Smithsonian
P,S. I will have to admit that I did not quite understand your first DM Column,
however.
Consanguineous -- You should consider entering a team in the DM47 Turf Wars. I'll
bet you have fun. (wink) -- Curator, Smithsonian
Stray Catman? It was my pleasure to meet up with you. Does my winning mean I have
to take care of all those cats?! -- Mayflower, Smithsonian
Nah, shove 'em off on Swirvin' Irvin.
Ima Slayer -- I was in no mood to allow you a piece of the rock. (mine OR
Prudential's) -- Plymouth Rock, Smithsonian
Imerta Loel -- You sounded awfully Japanese to me so I had to go at you with my heart
and soul. Gotcha! -- Iwo Jima, Smithsonian
Anita Kill -- Well, luckily I didn't. A mere expansive, enduring win was all I
wanted and all I got. -- Yosemite, Smithsonian
You Pay I Slay -- That is two in a row losses that Ura Goner put on me. How much is
Santana paying you guys for my decimation? -- Alamo, Smithsonian
Four-1? We can live with that, Smithsonians. Well done. -- Curator
We are baaaaaaack! Finally a nice little 3-0 for The Z Gladiatorz. -- The Z Man
Honest Merchant -- I was sorry to hurt an honest guy like you, but business is
business. -- Zephyr, ZG
Looks like you just breezed through that.
Kerbin Knotts -- I enjoyed the long conversation, but the winning results of the
debate seem to leave me waaaaay up here where the BIG BOYS can pick on me. Yikes! --
Zither, ZG
Kotter Nahl -- The way I see it, I had to keep going with the winning formula.
Sorry. -- Zest, ZG
Z good luck to you all. May all your zzzs be good onez. -- The Z Man
All -- Long time, no see, to those of you who remember me. I've stayed active
elsewhere, but have missed my "home" arena. I don't know if I'll be staying long, as
I've got a TW to attend, but I've wanted to stop by for some time. Good luck to all,
and perhaps my "original" misfits will meet some of you on the sand. ;) -- Michael
Eldritch, mgr Penumbral Mists
Confession -- Bah. You want to know "whodunit," you'll have to work for it. --
Indior Landis
Zest -- Ah, lemon, my favorite. -- Kotter Nahl
P.S. Although winning would have been even better.
Zither -- Tuneful, as always. -- Kerbin Notts
Ah, the Veteran Mercenary! It isn't often we see a standby on the sands. And a win,
which is good. -- Norm Quesha
Iwo Jima -- But I guess Norm's win is our only one this time. Bummer. -- Imerta Loel
Michael Eldritch -- How about if I declare for your team in North Fork next time, but
stand ready to bow out if you can get enough serious members to fill it out? --
Jorja, the Middle Way
P.S. Master Darque recommended that I declare for you, and said I could bow out to a
more involved participant with no prejudice to anyone.
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!
