DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I've advised the Veteran Mercenary to avoid me, but he probably won't.

SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ZUWAYZA! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Like, FUNKY FOLK had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS! Way to go THE
MAGNIFICENT MAGS! MVP award for CAT FANCY? THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' proud of her after
beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and getting 15 points. Talk about yer big time losers!
SPORTS III got smashed by DEO VOLENTE, and lost 2 points! This Duelmaster is like
something else! ELLE stopped ADARA AL ZAHRA dead in hers tracks! Is the Duelmaster
really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys
can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

Corpse Sitter -- (puzzled frown) Is this someone who sits beside a corpse to make
sure it doesn't wander off? Isn't this a bad time of year for such a job to begin?
With the Dead Tourney coming, and all, you know. Well, regardless, better you than
me! -- Cat Fancy
Cult Members? Bah. Unsporting. -- Sports Ill.
Well, you know, if I was in Mordant, I'd desert the place, too. 'Specially if I was
Rirorni, which I thank Serimna I'm not. -- Hot Rod
Thieves should be sliced and diced. Why did the arenamaster stop me? What's in it
for him, eh? -- Modern Maturity

HAMMER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Be it known from the highest mountains to the darkest alleys of Alastari that
the veteran manager known far and wide as Hammer has now officially retired from
sponsoring contests as of September 15, 2005.
What a long time ago was a fun motivated activity to help promote our common
DM/D2 gaming interest in an effort to promote the growth and competitiveness of
selected arenas has become a far from fun experience.
In other words Hammer has had it!
The combination of real life situations interfering with the time needed to
effectively sponsor a contest, plus the attitudes expressed during such sponsorship
interference has led to Hammer closing his personal coin coffers and retiring from
his planned sponsorship of any future contests.
There are others in our close knit gaming community who are well able to step up
to the plate and continue sponsoring contests that make the basic game a fun
experience for all those who choose to compete and interact in such future endeavors.
Hammer thanks all managers both active and inactive who helped to make the
Hammer sponsored contests a historical and entertaining experience well worth the
time, effort and money spent over the past several years.
May the Cheers and the Jeers of future contests build upon the legacies of those
who have paved the way in years gone by to help make this game what it is today.
Hammer has no regrets for the part he has played in that history.
19 September 2005
I'd like to say hello to everyone I know that is still around after my being gone for
five years. Hope to see you all on the sands, and may your weapons strike true and
your shields protect you (except, of course, against MY warriors *grin*)!! -- Lord
Xiang, D2-101
5 October 2005
To those once of Willaf -- It's time to come back to the sands. I'm back,
exclusively at Willaf.... -- Kurd the Vivisectionist, Your Better
