DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Sir Plutz and Kolact -- My hat's off to you for the challenge. <bow> Anyone for
watching me snuff candles with my practice morning star? (non-spiked) I'm
techniqueing my wailin fool image. The secret's in that milli multi-meter of a
second when the ball stops, seemingly hovering, while snapping off and snuffing the
little ashy burned out part of the wick. It's the "hover" which insures all the mass
is converted into the blow. Not as fast as swinging free and easy but each smack has
more impact and in theory is more accurately placed, which is important if you're....
-- Ivan Mashminaplp, and I am
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, KOLACT? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for MANAGERY, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5
into 11th. Ha! QUBIT turned their 3-0-0 turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings
this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see VEGETA win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
OSKSI NOBLE beat SADIE and SADIE lost 12 points. You're breakin' my heart. Z
challenged KOLACT's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the spice
of life, KOLACT may be getting bland, as IVAN MASHMINAPLP stays top dog in the city.
I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know
what's new, don't you, KOLACT?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
THUNDERSTRIKERS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass
act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was THE FELLOWSHIP. Ha ha ha
ha!
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
What does the KOLACT arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I
must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Sultan -- I haven't seen awesome damage in the regular arenas since The Larch. You
can't beat that look of disbelief that flashes across an unwary opponent's face when
first struck. Or the delayed action response, when the fighter just stands there as
the numbers collapse around them. Good for you and Sir Plutz. I've, out there not
here, a tremendous damage doing piker. A far cry from awesome, but.... -- Still
Quip -- You're quick, with a fast start too. Opinion away. -- Sadie
Inquiring Minds -- That's "wax" paper n' comb with which to bewitch the rhythm
minded...and more the personal vs. professional performance. -- Melody
Deagol -- Well that was funky, can't wait to see what's next. -- Kranky Karl
Sir Da -- Kow-a-bunga. I tried surfing the wave of your hostilities and violent
fetishes, but got caught in the curl. -- Syd Tubular
Treebeard -- Stop DOING that. It's unreasonable for a tree to have a beard. Shave
it, man, shave it. -- Actaon
Frodo -- Nasty, bloody-minded little bugger, aren't you? -- Moonday
Sir Broke Stroker -- Gosh, you're a celebrity! I never expected to meet a celebrity
here. EVERYONE in the Gladiatorial System knows YOUR name. -- Estrella
Kranky Karl -- A refinement? Gods, it must be a woman, right? They're always after
us guys to get refined. -- Actaon
