DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What an embarrassing way to take the throne and get invited to ADM. Well, thus ends
another dueling career. For those who care, I'm an 11-5-14-13-17-9-15 Lunger, with
AdEx Attack, Init and Defence, and an Expert in Riposte on 45 learned skills. The
commission tells me I prefer the Longspear, with a High/High rhythm and a tendency to
learn riposte skills. Now the only thing left on my mind is who will be sitting on
this throne next?

SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of ARKERS. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. SMITHSONIAN after a
sorry 0-2-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the
'Can't fight no more' blues! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a
perceptive observation?) as CODE NAME III can attest... THE CHOSEN had cause to
celebrate, after LISA YAKVIGOR got 30 points by beating SACRILICIOUS. A certain
someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 14 points to
SIF. (Discrete enough, BREAK DOWN?) Well, Duelmaster MISS MATCHED Dark Arena
Challenged DARK ARENA's HIGH ELF. Is a 17-16-0 good enough? Those who hoped for a
new Duelmaster were disappointed by HIGH ELF, of DARK ARENA, who despite a 0-0-0
couldn't overcome ARKERS' Number 1. So who was the warrior seen charging into
immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in
SMITHSONIAN are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, THE CHOSEN scurried away from SMITHSONIAN. Oh,
the shame! If challenges were horses, MISS BEA HAVED could open up a fast food
joint! MISS OURIE challenged BERTA THE INDOLENT! Who says LADIES IN WAITING are
just a bunch of wimps! MISS OURIE of LADIES IN WAITING kept hers wits as she
defeated BERTA THE INDOLENT.
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Those who owe MISS
MATCHED of LADIES IN WAITING money and had written her off, take note: she'S BACK
FROM THE DARK ARENA!!! AND she'S MAD!!! Citizens of ARKERS, be sure to settle your
debts with GERTY DUTHUG of BLOODY HAND CLAN. She's relocating to the Dark Arena and
has other things on hers mind! You've heard about SACRILICIOUS of TRIAL BY COMBAT.
Death plays no favorites, and neither do I. What was a 9-7-0 doing on the fields in
the first place? Congratulations, MAHTHA RIBKRAKA. The manager of BB PUBLIC TRANSIT
should have sent DELAYED to the Dark Arena for having a 11-9-1 long ago. Questions
are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain
tavern in ARKERS would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in ARKERS is the highlight of my life. My fingers
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable
character. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
All -- For those interested, Bea Zerk heads off to the Isle and retirement. She was
17-5-14-21-9-5-13, Normal End/Great Damage. +1 RIP is the only bonus she shows with
PAR being the only unknown (who cares on a Striker?). The Commission says that she
likes BA, MO/VL, and likes to learn RIP. Apart from the BA, I can't say I tried much
else that they are recommending. -- Master Darque, mgr. Trial by Combat
Not sure why Trial by Combat was inactive. I mean, I am sure it is because the
Commission did not get any orders from us. BUT, there are a dozen different scenarios
as to why that was the case, all of them my fault! -- Master Darque
Longshot -- Well done on the spotlight writing. I don't normally follow spotlights
and the roleplaying at all, but I was impressed. -- Crip, mgr of Ladies in Waiting
Pax The Yuge -- You are still just a second faster than I need to be. Someday,
hopefully, that will change. -- Miss Appropriate
Broony Big Gut -- Maybe no second set of padded leather on the outside, but what about
on the inside -- Miss Direction
Albus Bonerattler -- I'd like to say I'm going to follow you and hunt you down at the
Isle, but clearly I'm.... -- Miss Matched
Berta The Indolent -- Maybe, just maybe, next time I'll have to slow down a bit for
you -- Miss Bea Haved
Gutsag -- I just fear what would happen if you and Broony got together -- Miss Bea
Haved
Great spotlights and DM Columns! -- Curator
Matha, what's your excuse? Doo dah! -- Camptown Races
First Whisper, not fair! You shouted! -- Wild Wild West
Strat Catman, leave those kitties alone! -- Oregon Trail
Health. Humility. Honor. -- Curator
