DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Another of those columns? BS! BS, I say! This is downright punishment. I
refuse to more than the minimum. So let's make this quick.
I am good. I am a great warrior. I am talented. I am dangerous. I have the
moves. I am a winner. The babes love me. I am the best this arena has to offer.
The good thing about all this is that I make lots of gold and get lots of
acclaim. Of course, I deserve it. The bad part is these damn columns.
Next time, after I win again, I will have someone else write this crappy thing
for me. Why not? I'm Duelmaster; I can do whatever I want!
Goldenrod, The One & Only True Willaf Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of WILLAF! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits always
around the corner! Witness how this week WAY OF THE SWORD went 1-1-0 to move up 3 in
the rankings. OLD GOLD caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested PUNH JENTLY and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, OLD GOLD put down PUNH JENTLY, causing him to lose 16
points of recognition in the process. Although KUROME made a valiant effort, it did
not suffice to topple the reign of victorious GOLDENROD. No confirmation, but my
sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.
Charmed weapons perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. WAY OF THE SWORD is feared. This
much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of GOLDEN GLADIATORS are catching the bulk
of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. PUNH JENTLY take warning!
You have more than a few enemies in WILLAF.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears
arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in WILLAF as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till we meet
again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Tarex -- That was the way of the rod, not the way of the sword. Get it? Oh, yes;
you got it! -- Goldenrod
Punh Gently -- It was me who stunk. You had a golden performance. -- Gold Filling
O. Fish -- What a golden opportunity you were for me, and I took it. -- Golden
Opportunity
Punh Gently -- You clearly have the wrong impression about my golden rod. I can
assure you that I do not spare it, and I refuse to boast, but if you want to know
more about this item, perhaps you had best contact some of my many lady friends. --
Goldenrod
O. Puncha -- Love comes in many forms, I know. -- Golden Arches
Gold Filling -- That's the problem, you see. Gold is a soft metal. It can be
deformed by repeated blows, and what is a bite but the blow of one tooth on the
opposing tooth? -- Punh Jently
Golden Opportunity -- At your height, I don't see how you escaped being called a Shew
by the Commission. Good work. -- O. Fish
Gluteous Maximus -- Drat. I should AIM there. -- Ketl Physhe
Oh, a Convicted Thief, I was terrified. -- O Puncha
Goldenrod -- (bows) -- Punh Jently
Slippery Sue -- I have a lot of thorns to grip with. That makes slipping away
difficult for you. But why should you wish to do that? Why not embrace your fate
and go to dinner with me? -- O Puncha

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
