DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Charismatic, I'm glad it was you today. It seems fitting, somehow, since I
couldn't take the throne and get my Invitation on a win against the black-hearted
Blackwind. You've been a fine opponent all along, and you haven't killed any of my
teammates, so you're high in my book. I salute you and leave you the title next
time, if you want it.
Greengrove
P.S. My numbers will be available on request, but it seems like Jorja is feeling
lazy. As if this is news! Ask and all will be revealed.
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
MALCORN. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
Coming up with a solid 4-1-0 outing, DARK CREATION has advanced 6 places in the
rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for SLICK BILLY, who flew up 16 points in the
rankings after mashing AFFIRMED like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was AFFIRMED, who dropped 8 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with SLICK BILLY. In front of all the crowds,
CHARISMATIC took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. An
apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad TRIPLE CROWN? Big bad TRIPLE CROWN. Big bad TRIPLE CROWN. MALCORN's
afraid of the big bad TRIPLE CROWN. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like
math, try this one: TRIPLE CROWN + Weapons That go Boom = POLITICALY INCORRECT +
Avoid City. Well just about everybody wants a piece of SLICK BILLY, who was this
week's most challenged warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
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. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Butcher -- Well, maybe you'd do better if your opponent were dead meat? Not that I
propose to oblige, but it's just a thought. Maybe you should stick to your day job,
eh? After all, a side of beef doesn't hit back. -- Jessalin
T-Bone -- I've heard of people coming out "hat in hand," but you shouldn't hold your
HEART in your hand. I might have killed you, and that was not my idea at all! --
Patterson Pine
P.S. Maybe if you wore gloves?
Indemos -- Hmm, is that as in "double indemnity, and pay up or else!" or is it
something to do with being the other one than Phobos? You're nasty, anyway. Ouch.
-- Tree Shadow
Strada -- Isn't it amazing what a pebble tossed into the critical spot will do to a
piece of machinery? I will admit that I laughed when your gears seized up. Nothing
personal, but I have a "thing" about gears. -- Pebble
P.S. And usually I don't get to do anything about it. Usually, it's just shoes on
humans and horses. A gear was a pleasant change. Quite exciting, actually.
Strada -- Good luck. You'll need it. -- Greenwardens
Zeus -- (bow) -- Greengrove
P.S. Was I Duel2Dude last time, and (gasp, shudder) didn't write a column? What was
Jorja THINKING?
Lord Protector Greengrove -- Lord Malcorn says, "Congratulations on doing well in
your chosen profession," but he does NOT say anything about giving you lands. --
Arenamaster Landon
P.S. He did mutter something about "all the lands belong to people already," and
"what am I supposed to do, dispossess somebody for a departing gladiator?
Ridiculous!" Make of it what you will.

Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
