DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Whoa! I'm Duelmaster! Cool! I'm surprised. I was expecting Persiflage to be top
dog. Don't know how long I'll be here, but I'll have fun while I'm here. Pot of
Gold, I'm disappointed. I was expecting a tougher fight for you. You must have had
a bad day.
Sully
Shroud In Mystery
Servant of Kjarran
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of WILLAF. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Nothing is certain in
WILLAF, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top
team--PANDORA'S CARDS. Those betting on GOLDEN GLADIATORS lost their shirt, as
GOLDEN GLADIATORS lost their fighting abilities: 2-1-0. Nothing works for a team
like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as PANDORA'S CARDS can
attest... PUNNY AMINALS had cause to celebrate, after PUNH JENTLY got 22 points by
beating ANNIE PINKLEY. ANNIE PINKLEY certainly had a baffled expression on hers
face, after losing to PUNH JENTLY and losing 24 points in the process! You could cut
the tension with a scimitar as KITTEN KABOODLE of ARENA FELINES met the Duelmaster.
Now I can't insult KITTEN KABOODLE, as he has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great
new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who was the warrior seen
charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic
problem...
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in
PUNNY AMINALS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of GOLDEN GLADIATORS, so did that sorry
team shy from PUNNY AMINALS Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities?
Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, HUSAM AL DIN is the most challenged warrior.
Place your bets! PURZ! is the long shot of the week: they challenged O PUNCHA, up
by 26. The gods smiled upon PURZ!, in hers upset fight against O PUNCHA. PURZ! gets
a win, 24 points, and a free drink on me. (Next week, OK?)
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Questions are
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain
tavern in WILLAF would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in WILLAF is the highlight of my life. As if buffeted
by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Like a
mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid WILLAF farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

What is a poor Manager to do? I offer many prayers to the Roll-Up Gods (RUGS) for
their assistance. Pot Of Gold decides to graduate and retire? Persiflage decides to
get brutal and kill Klondike Gold? The FTF intervenes, and the new recruits await
there unpretentiously. How can this poor manager survive with such brass and copper
circumstances? My Golden team is suffering. -- Midas, Golden Gladiators
Annie Pinkley -- Well, I, too, was honored. -- Golden Opportunity
Kore Surya -- I needed that win for poor Midas! But how did I make THAT happen? --
Golden Opportunity
Persiflage -- Did you have to kill Klondike? You Shrouds can act so little at times.
-- Midas
Sully -- I salute you for your talent and the overwhelming win. You emptied my pot,
pal, and deserve to be called Duelmaster. -- Pot Of Gold, Retired
Ghoti -- My friends Mino and Kennelworth send their regards. It is always a
pleasure. They said something like "bring it on". -- Midas, Manager, Golden
Gladiators.
What, no Yamapile this past round? We surely needed the easy wins. -- Midas
I GET TO LIVE!!!!!! And I get to graduate! I am soo happy! Unfortunately I think
the Boss will send me to the DA for my last fight. I dread the thought of having to
be res'd. -- Annie Pinkley
Midas of Goldy Gladidiots -- LOL! That is exactly the kind of blubbering idiocy one
can expect from such a vile thing like you. Merely lends credence to the FACT that
you are simply a pathetic stinking vermin from the lowest pits, completely incapable
of comprehending the competitive nature of this game. You are a sick drooling moron
with NO human thought process. An egotistic little brat with NO sense of courtesy.
A sickening little gnat, completely consumed with his own evil self-righteousness. --
Manager of Yamabushi
That's right, Midas freak, Manager of the Goldy Skums. I'm attacking YOU. I'm
attacking your character because you have none. You are utterly devoid of any sense
of character at all. Dumbed-down jerks like you with NO conscience simply confound
the meaning of logic. It is precisely because of sick individuals like yourself that
makes it so difficult to take pleasure in playing this game.
I am senior to you in virtually every respect. Perhaps that is what concerns you so
much. Does it bother you that anyone has the audacity to actually point out the
facts of your ignorance?? Can't deal with the fact that you don't know the meaning
of a fair fight?? You are the rookie, little one. You are the one that requires
instruction on team play. You are the one that is weak and unfit. Stop beating your
chest about how great you think you are. You know nothing and are absolutely
incapable of learning greatness. -- Manager of Yamabushi
Ghoti -- I have no idea who you are, bub (as though I care). So just shut your
stinking pie hole and go back to the pit you crawled from. You got a lot of nerve to
lecture me about honor when you don't even know the meaning of such a word. Any
moron that has enough mind to actually defend that Midas stinking idiot is just as
much a slimy vermin as him. Worry not however. As long as you take your medication
we won't have to hear your tiresome drivel. -- Manager of Yamabushi
All -- Welcome my deck of warriors to this fine Free Blades city. I wanted another
team in the independent nations and this city seemed like the right place. May your
swords always aim true and your armor hold your insides in side. -- Var, manager of
Pandora's Cards
Steelers -- You got killed in the second minute of the fight by a TP fighting in his
first fight. That's pretty sad. -- Ace of Cups
Why am I not Duelmaster! Am I not the best warrior in this arena! Perhaps in all
the Glorious Empire!! How did Sully jump past me! He didn't even kill his opponent.
I killed Klondike Gold!? How did that happen? Didn't know I had it in me. It must
have been my Lord Kjarran guiding my weapon. Well I'm out of here. My final
numbers; 15(+2)-21(+2)-7-8(+3)-21(+2)-10(+2)-15(+2) TP. Expert in parry and that's
it, so disappointing. Like the greatsword, cool. Low offensive, low activity, no
surprise there. Learn attack skills. -- Persiflage, Shroud In Mystery, Servant of
Kjarran
Golden Opportunity -- You are so frustrating. I'll get you yet! -- Kore Surya
Chauncy -- A win! Good to know I can still do that. Thanks. -- Husam Al Din
Good to see you've all solved your Yamabushi problem. The City of Battle can now
return to its peaceful ways. -- Noachian, Servant of Kjarran, mgr. Shroud In Mystery
Gluteous Maximus -- I couldn't bring myself to hit it, though it was an immense
target. (shudder) The very thought of it made my blood run cold. -- Ketl Physhe
P.S. Or something.
Annie Pinkley -- I'd like to color you gone, graduated, out of here. You're too
dangerous for an old fossil like me. -- Punh Jently
P.S. By golly, you ARE going! Congratulations.
Congratulations to Persiflage, also. -- Punny Animals
They tell me Rirorni women know lots of tricks, but the Venomous Concubine wouldn't
show me any. I might have to ask again. -- O Puncha
Husam al Din -- (admiringly) I would have thought it hard for a giant to be
mysterious, but you managed it. I don't know how you won that! -- Chauncy
P.S. Maybe it was the "classic style match" thing?
26 June 2006
To those interested, G.E.C.K.O., Inc, is looking for able-bodied warriors to embark
on a dangerous mission. Those interested (or for more details) diplo me at:

clerics, and quick-handed thieves to begin a quest requested by the Emperor of the
Southern Kingdom of Crailmia. All interested parties can diplo me in arena 93 --
Noblish Island, c/o Will-O-Wisps (1422) or write to me at -- Robert Bennett, 317173,

BROTHER KNIGHTS OF THE DESOLATE EMPIRE -- Hail brothers where ever you are to be
found! We are engaging in arena 31. Let them feel our wrath. Onward to glory!!! --
Dark knight Blackstorm
1 July 2006
Soultaker -- Read your e-mail! -- Guardian
10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there
could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great
14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:
The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
