DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Farewell, Aljafir. It has been fun and challenging. I was afraid I might not live
to see this day. I dedicate my reign as Duelmaster to Voltan, one of the original
Steel Wolves. He was cut down one turn shy of getting his invite. (Curse you,
Father Frakk.) He was my inspiration for becoming a striker. Here's to ya. Now,
let's see what the Dark Arena has to offer. -- Titan
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for COLOSSUS, who flew
up 13 points in the rankings after mashing NORTH FORK RABBLE like a melon. Keep your
eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. VINN
WULF was defeated by VENOMOUS CONCUBINE and drops 13 points. Well here's a
duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! TITAN made a Dark Arena
Challenge against HIGH ELF this week. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught
but bloody knuckles was DARK ARENA's HIGH ELF, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by TITAN. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and
avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ALJAFIR arena. Did you
hear that AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys
like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause STEEL WOLVES beats feet every
time AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if
challenges were votes, VIOLET ORC would be president. Although it may be a contest
he doesn't want to win. Getting lots of flowers from sympathetic fans was STELRA
TIRINS, who was successfully challenged by ARTEMIDORUS who had a mere 17 points more
than STELRA TIRINS. Well ARTEMIDORUS, just can't get an easy fight anymore can you?
You thought challenging down 17 points to STELRA TIRINS would be fun. Right? Wrong!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! TITAN defied all odds and slew
HIGH ELF in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as HIGH
ELF's meat is notoriously tough. The audience likes blood and there was plenty of it
covering NIGHTSONG as he was driven to an early grave by AIM SEDUCE HAMMER of the AIM
4 ISLE HAMMERZ. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very
important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the ALJAFIR giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos),
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Aim Obtuse Hammer -- Well, you at least saved Drahgo a trip to the Dark Arena. That
was his next stop. -- Wolf King
Here is Titan. St 9-3-18-17-15-11-11, master dec, adex ini, ex att. How he was so
successful, I'll never know. -- Wolf King
Ghost of Saphronicus -- That's gotta be the pits, getting killed on your own
challenge. Why didn't you wear armor? -- Erbin Frorlin, the moderately remorseful
P.S. Moderate remorse means I regret your death but don't feel guilt, okay? Just so
you know.
Artemidorus -- Yeowch! -- Stelra Tirins
Titan -- Well, NATURALLY I couldn't be expected to defeat somebody who is graduating!
I'm not that good. Congratulations to you. -- Wendol Varn

HDFA Mission Statement
"Show me the money!"
This is the battle cry of a newly formed collection of like-minded individuals:
The High Dolla' Free Agent$. We are not a tough guy alliance: No...we offer no
battle without reward. We search for victory and the prizes and accolades that
follow. We are motivated by winning and will freely use whatever means necessary to
obtain our currency. No stuffy rules, no mandates, no constitutions, no leaders,
only a few objectives:
1) Win as often as possible
2) Celebrate freely and revel in your victories; the more meaningless the
victory the more we celebrate. Highsiding and chest thumping are encouraged.
Ostentatious endzone celebrations with prop usage are encouraged, regardless of
fines, penalties, suspensions or arrest by local authorities. It is important to let
your opponent know how great you are; more importantly, you must let your own
alliance mates know how great you are.
This is a 1-up alliance, let the performance of your fellow Free Agent$ motivate
you. If a Free Agent wins a TV, win 2; if a Free agent wins a contest, win a more
prestigious one.
Current members of the HDFA include: CFH and Abraxis. Inquires can be directed
to: CFH/Rat Salad DM 47
