DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am too lazy to compose something, so let me sit at my computer and browse the
internet, nodding off now and then, and take a look at what the arena looked like,
from a Golden Gladiator viewpoint, back around this time in 1997.
12-19-07 -- Duelmaster Fool's Gold.
Top Career Chartered Team -- Golden Gladiators
Golden Glads record -- 73-47-2-.608
Team Members -- Fool's Gold, Heart Of Gold, Golden Rule, AUH2O, Golden Fleece
Yes, the Punny Aminals were present and 2nd place chartered team
12 teams were listed in the newsletter, but only 7 ran that turn
Now leave me alone and let me get back to my goldbricking.
Goldbrick DMIP
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of WILLAF! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with SHADOW DANCER? She
actually beat MAXIMUM RESULTS' MORGAR, and walked away with 53 more points from the
fight. Major screwup at MAXIMUM RESULTS. BRUAR lost 2 points to SILENCE IS GOLDEN.
Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe BRUAR will provide more easy wins... BAABRA
LAMMONT was reminded on the sands why GOLDBRICK is Duelmaster. Wouldn't it be nice
to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of
convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... WILLAF thinks PUNNY
AMINALS and their 695-869-23 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
Management must be dealin', as the boys at GOLDEN GLADIATORS ain't reelin'! PUNNY
AMINALS' mad!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? DAMSEL DACY looked pretty sick and surprised when she learned
MAXIMUM RESULTS is sending her to the Dark Arena! Whadd'she expect with a 5-6-0?
STOGA STEEL was plum wore out after CRIS CROFT pounded 'im silly in a Bloodfeud.
MAXIMUM RESULTS'll have to get a little better before going after CRIS CROFT again!
Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take
note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want
to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Wiley, Mr, or just plain, Coyote -- In answer to your DA question, it is certainly
possible to DA a warrior the first fight out. It is rumored that some Managers do so
for whatever reason they chose. We, however, and the rest of The Consortium, do not
do that. We get great joy in taking even the worst recruit and tying our best to
make something of it. Often we do. -- Midas
Convicted Thief killed that fine TP? Wow! How very, very unusual. I commiserate
and feel your pain. -- Midas
Fangs -- No biting, just spending. -- Gold Cache
Hey, Stoga Steel! Gotta love it when a plan works out so well. Gotta love it! --
Golden Eagle (flying high)
Baabra -- But I LIKE standing and looking at you. You are so classy to the sight.
And that low cut ringy thing just makes me drool. -- Goldbrick
Kung-Fuy Guy -- Keep your hands off my "kitty"! Next time I catch you trying to
siphon off some of my pot, I will bury you alive. Capiche! -- Gold Cache
M. Chardinee -- Did you like the movie? -- On Golden Pond
Fangs Ardente -- That's FOUR times, you know? But I will keep quiet about it. --
Silence Is Golden
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good fight. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiator
Goldbrick -- Ugh, I feel like I've been hit with a brick. -- Baabra Lammont
P.S. At least it was an educational experience.
Silence Is Golden -- Just a little bite...? -- Fangs Ardente
Bruar -- You really know how to make a guy's day. -- Cris Croft
Damsel Dacy -- You, madam, truly did make my day a bright one, and I appreciate it.
Might I, perhaps, take you to dinner? -- Sardo Crackel
On Golden Pond -- Not in this weather, thanks very much! Down into the teens at
night, you know. -- Cris Croft
Coyote -- Well, I wouldn't send a roll-up to the DA on the first fight, but then, I
wouldn't send one to the DA after fifty straight losses (truly, this has happened to
me), so I'm possibly not the best one to ask.
In a wholly different compartment of my mind--my DA policy has nothing to do
with this--I am of the opinion that every roll-up deserves at least one bite, and
maybe more, and that artful designing should be able, at the least, to devise a
gladiator whose fights are fun to read. It's mostly a question of what you're
looking for. If you want someone you can nurse along for high-end play, yes, some
should go to the DA directly, as even with the closest care and attention, they will
never be truly great and compete in Primus. (Assuming any newcomer can compete in
Primus against all those entrenched, maxed, monsters of skill.) For regular ADM
play... hard to tell. A mediocre roll-up with great bonuses could be worth running,
and you won't know about the bonuses until you get the overview back. For basic
play, especially in a small, relatively non-competitive arena like this... I wouldn't
dump anyone untried, at the very worst, you can learn from them. -- Jorja, probably
not really helpful
Golden Gladiators -- 5-0? Congratulations. Now I must stop that streak. Nothing
personal, but it is time for me to step up. Hopefully over you and beyond. -- Coyote
Midas -- Did you not tell me I should run bashers? Then you whoop mine with a bird?
Consistantly? Well, that must change, too. -- Coyote
Cris Croft -- Perhaps you figured another easy win? -- Bruar
Convicted Thief actually killed someone? What is this arena coming to... to lose to
a stock warrior one thing, to be killed, another....
