DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hey, grab me quick. I won't be here long. I'm off to join the Lord Protector
retirement list, and will have departed by the time you read this.
I wish you all well, and a special pot of great luck to the one who replaces me.
In all likelihood, he or she was more worthy than I.
Salute.
Pot Of Gold
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of WILLAF! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too
little dodging gave ENEMY O' MINE a 1-2-0! I got a good laugh out of it! Welcome to
WILLAF, PANDORA'S CARDS! We need more teams who can get a 3-2-1 their first time
out! What's with HUSAM AL DIN? He actually beat PUNNY AMINALS' CHAUNCY, and walked
away with 25 more points from the fight. Major screwup at PUNNY AMINALS. CHAUNCY
lost 23 points to HUSAM AL DIN. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe CHAUNCY will
provide more easy wins... I can barely restrain my enthusiam for SHROUD IN MYSTERY's
outstanding member, Duelmaster SULLY. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up
fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, ARENA FELINES! In my
day, no team with a 167-105-8 would scare me off! What's the problem, GOLDEN
GLADIATORS? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, ANNIE
PINKLEY! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. PERSIFLAGE proved too determined for KLONDIKE GOLD.
KLONDIKE GOLD was lucky to go in the ring, with 8-5-1 to his credit. He will be
remembered. The ultimate victory is one that results in death. PERSIFLAGE of knows
this. Will GOLDEN GLADIATORS attempt a Bloodfeud? Is THE WICKED getting weak? What
sort of warriors let a comrade fall without getting revenge? Times have changed...
Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take
note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? The
end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Golden Opportunity -- To me you were your namesake; I could not allow myself to pass
it up. Thank you for allowing me a current 100% record against your style. Even in
the few tourneys I have attended, you were my first. I shall remember you fondly. --
Annie Pinkley
Yamabushi -- Just a tad prickly, you is. Not that hiding behind a team name will
earn you any honor. So I shall call you "Nameless One" and if you read the book, it
would be "Nevyn". Meaning a nameless outcast...not to be spoken of. It means little
to complain of your opponents' methods when the same methods are available to you.
And certainly the name calling--now I am hurt. After handing you as many wins as I
have and you still have the lesser of the records. Worry not however, I shall not
speak of you or to you again without a name for it only becomes tiresome dribble. --
Ghoti
Midas -- Well met, Sir! I hope to kick your team's fine butt on the appropriate
occasion. A thousand wins in Aruak City, I hear? The travel time from here to there
must be loathsome. When again I meet you in Aruak, I hope to spoil your record
appropriately. -- Ghoti
Annie Pinkley -- Congratulations on your win over me. You were the best gladiator.
(And the most colorful also.) -- Golden Opportunity
Yama-in-need-of-help -- I am sorry I said this last time. "Yamafodder -- It is
intelligent that you have been silent of late. A 2-4 (33.3%) in the last three turns
needs to be kept quiet. You are in our prayers. -- All Us Golden Gladiators". I did
not expect that you would fall further to a terrible 1-6-14% three turn record. I am
truly sorry. Perhaps you should consider arena 93 where the newbies train? I am
sure you will improve with practice and really hard effort. Then maybe you could
compete with the regulars? -- Midas, Golden Gladiators
Manager of Yamabushes -- In reference to your last ad "Midas -- Makes you feel like a
real tough guy by challenging DOWN for easy wins; isn't that right, you sick freak?",
I do truly apologize. I had thought it was a fair fight and, more importantly, that
you and your team were up for it. I was wrong. I should direct my gladiators to
challenge other teams; ones which are competitive. Challenging a team which isn't,
and one which needs the practice of the rookie arena, is too much of a burden and
unfair for the weak. O.K. you convinced us--or did you? -- Midas
Arena Felines -- Thank you last turn for sharing the woeful wrath of Yamamama with
us. It was more fun sharing the spewing sputterings. A salute to you. -- Midas and
The Golden Gladiators
Kurohana -- Congratulations to you for being the only Yama loser last round. An 0-1
is a turn for the good. -- Pot Of Gold (chuckling)
Chauncy -- No pun intended, but I don't feel so golden. -- Golden Bear
Pun Gently and O. Puncha -- We were the lucky ones. -- Pot Of Gold & Klondike Gold
Good luck to all at the Baltimore Face. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators
Pot of Gold -- Still hoarding your moldy old gold, I see. Hmphf! Stingy, that's
what YOU are. -- Punh Jently
Kitten Kaboodle -- (wincing) And all claws when you want my physhes. -- Ketl Physhe
Klondike Gold -- I don't know what you got so upset about, I just wanted to do the
"klondike" thing and strike gold! -- O Puncha
Golden Bear -- You don't look like poppa, momma, or baby, but then, I don't look like
goldilocks, either, do I? -- Chauncy
Pot of Gold -- I don't know why it is, but when it's a case of "either of us could
have won," so often that means that I end up losing. I'm just too accommodating, I
guess. -- Ketyl Physhe
Pot of Gold -- True, but what's wrong with emptying a pot of its gold in a good
cause? -- Punh Jently
Annie Pinkley -- Well, you have to pay attention! -- O Puncha
