DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I gotta hand it to you, Mortikhan, you had the guts to challenge me. What's
more, you nearly beat the crap outta me! For all that, you deserve another chance to
clearly win the throne. And, since I'll be using what the GC THINKS is my favorite
rhythm, your chances are even better. Good luck.
Lil E. Tee
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, MALCORN? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see BLACKWIND win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, JAVOR beat
WOODEN ARROW and WOODEN ARROW lost 19 points. You're breakin' my heart. Going for
broke or broken, our Duelmaster MORTIKHAN challenged this turn. And if variety is
the spice of life, MALCORN may be getting bland, as LIL E. TEE 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, MALCORN?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
MALCORN, I am losing what little hope I had in you. STARBASE 5 the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act
of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was TRIPLE CROWN. Ha ha ha ha!
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, DASHING was this turn's most challenged warrior.
Watch that ego swell, sports fans. And we have GO AND GO in a challenge, going down
14 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought GO AND GO showed great skill and
promise when he was defeated by DASHING. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for MALCORN's
morgue. More variety. Let's see, 10-6-0. Pretty good record for a living warrior.
A sad one though, for a dead one. Such is the case for OAKLEAF of GREENWARDENS.
Tsk. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these
kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Oakleaf -- Apparently, my name overstates my abilities. -- Charismatic
Forever -- Geeesh! Talk about one's name overstating their ability! -- Go And Go,
aptly named, of course
Blackwind -- Personally, I like to see that two in your record and know that it comes
from little old me. -- Charismatic
Xane Reaver -- I didn't say that! About you being funny. You should have KNOWN I
didn't. -- Greengrove
P.S. I would never call on the gods to witness anything. Fat lot of good THEY have
ever done a gladiator.
Blackwind -- Heck. I just KNEW breathing that stuff was bad. -- Ghost of Mayflower
Javor -- Oh, gods, what IS it that the Commission's reports have this fixation on the
idea that after a hard-fought battle, the winner will feel like LAUGHING? They
should try it some time. -- Wooden Arrow
Charismatic -- That should be a lesson to you: Never gallop straight into an oak
tree. If you MUST run down trees, go for the young willows. -- Oakleaf
Forever -- Nope. -- Greengrove

Amendment for "Fratsfa's Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance

I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months
