DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Newt Rockne here.
I am your Duelmaster.
We at the Man or Beast? stable apologize for our lack of columns lately. We've
been on strike vs. the facist computer ad generator named HAL. He's dropped a number
of our writings and we just sort of stopped sending them, but we are back now.
I'm going to keep this short and easy. It's my last turn here and then I'm off
to join my 'mates in 103.
We have to apologize to Uncle Leo, Hammock, and Artist's Weekly. Not sure what
got into our stable last week, but we killed all three of them. Not intentionally,
of course, but the damage is done unfortunately. So we hope their replacements were
very good and we'll send some flowers or something to adorn their graves.
Other than Bear, I'm the last of the original stable to graduate, with one quick
detour via death, and I'm glad it's all over. Death makes you think, and I'd rather
not experience that again.
At least me leaving will open up the title for some new players here. So that's
a good thing.
Catch you all in Free Blades.
Newt Rockne
Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. THE
MAGNIFICENT MAGS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey
everybody, watch out for HOUSE BEAUTIFUL, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after
mashing KHALHUMS DWARF like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Well, everybody's
pal NEWT ROCKNE moved his record to 19-2-1 by defeating MOTHER GHEA NEWS in the
Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 4 recognition points. An apple a day keeps the
doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that VISIONS V2 was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of VISIONS V2's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to
boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause MAN OR BEAST? beats feet every time
VISIONS V2 smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were
votes, EVERYBRIDE would be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want
to win.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Congrats to EVERYBRIDE for
revenging the death of hers teammate (but more importantly, feeding SIR FRANCIS DRAKE
a bit of dirt). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.
Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Hasta la
bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

Our congratulations to Newt Rockne. Gussie Finknottle, expert on newts, is eagerly
awaiting you on the Isle; he wants a PERSONAL interview. -- Jorja and the Mags
Two-three-oh-one. Another of THOSE days, I see.
Cosmo -- You won't list me as an exemplar of home decorating? Why NOT? I'm just
about perfect here. -- House Beautiful
The Convicted Assassin was dumping manure and WORSE THINGS (bodies, I suspect) into
the Storm Sea, POLLUTING it. I'd have killed him if the arenamaster hadn't stepped
in. -- Mother Ghea News
The Userous Merchant was deficient in bumps, so I provided some. Just call me a
philanthropist. -- Modern Phrenology
Mulva -- You can't plan to wear THAT! I mean, well, okay, it IS your wedding, but
SURELY you can't mean to wear THAT? -- Everybride
Sir Francis Drake -- It happens, and that it happened to Artist's Weakly does not
greatly concern us. Of course, the replacement's no better, maybe worse, but there
it is. -- Mother Ghea News
