DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It was a good try, Molyneux. I do like a human who is willing to really get
INTO interacting with a dog. People will tell you that staring contests are a cat
thing, but trust me, if it's well done, a dog can enjoy it just as much. Of course,
with cats, it's more of a question of who can out-haughty which, whereas with dogs,
it's a mutual appreciation thing.
Scruff
P.S. Frisbee? Well, I do like frisbees, but they don't LAST well.
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, TOBIR? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, THE DOGHOUSE, since OTAGO
HIGHLANDERS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see LADY MUTT win a fight and gain 20 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, LADY MUTT beat GEORGE FOREMUN and GEORGE FOREMUN lost 15 points.
You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, TOBIR may be getting
bland, as SCRUFF stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and
bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for TOBIR's
morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in TOBIR to get a drink than The Victory
Tavern! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of TOBIR. I feel much better now. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Abbott -- (cringing slightly) You're too big. That's intimidation! I don't think I
should have to put up with being loomed over and intimidated. (a moment of brooding
silence) Of course, Jorja says I should just buckle down and win the fight, and then
you won't be intimidating. Shows how much SHE knows. -- Ginkor
Frosty the Snowmun -- Weather's in your favor, sure enough. Another blasted winter
wonderland out there. If you ask ME, it's time for winter to be OVER. -- Echanosarah
Weston -- (melting gaze) But what did I *do*? I don't understand. How will I ever
learn not to do it again if you don't tell me? I just wanted to have fun with you,
and share that really wonderful ripe old bone I found, and maybe splash around in the
snow. -- Whole Mutt
Mun Over Board -- If you would stop thrashing around, I'd pull you out again. But
you can't expect me to stick my head down there when you're behaving so violently,
you hit me on the nose once already! -- Lady Mutt
28 January 2008
CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.
Chase a.k.a. SwineTiger
2 February 2008
ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
