DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Javor, you puzzle me. You aren't hairy enough to be a wolf, but you're much too
smart to be a man. So what does that leave? Anyway, I liked the way you paid
attention during that fight. Your learning ability is impressive.
I see in this graduation notice proof positive that the Commission does not
understand me. They've got me down for MS, low/low. "Born to scum," in other words.
That just isn't me. Beyond that, I'm 11 12 16 11 13 14 7. Now you all see why I
haven't graduated before now.
Stalking Horse
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for WICKED SLICE, who
flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing ARKAIK SLAUTER like a melon. Keep
your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.
MAYFLOWER lost to BLACKWIND and drops 11 points. Drawing on all of his experience as
a 11-4-0 warrior, LIL E. TEE went for the Duelmastership against STALKING HORSE this
week. Isn't that life? One minute you're on top of the world and then next you're
laid out on a slab! STALKING HORSE was subdued by LIL E. TEE. Say no more. 4 out
of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MALCORN arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad STARBASE 5? Big bad STARBASE 5. Big bad
STARBASE 5. MALCORN's afraid of the big bad STARBASE 5. Tra la la la la! Okay, so
I may not be funny, but catch TRIPLE CROWN's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem
to be fairly deft at running from STARBASE 5. Well dang howdy, but if challenges
were votes, DASHING would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want
to win.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in MALCORN have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!--

PERSONAL ADS
A Convicted Assassin? Why should I fight a Convicted Assassin? Why isn't he dead or
in Lord Malcorn's dungeon? We don't want his kind around here. -- Mayflower
I agree with May, and besides, this Assassin is just too dangerous. Next thing we
know, he'll be getting loose and doing some assassination. And ask yourself, who
could he be here for? I bet he's after our Prince! -- Wooden Arrow
M. Chardinee is getting uppity. I think it must be the assassin's influence. We
shouldn't let the standbys get the upper hand like this. Anybody care to join me in
an alley-stalk? -- Oakleaf
Xane Reaver -- So, what was so dark about your creation? You seem a man much like
any other, and we all know how men are created. Sometimes darkness is involved, yes,
but still. -- Greengrove
Charismatic -- (modestly) It was probably a fluke. -- Wooden Arrow
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
