DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Striking the first blow is not enough. The important thing is to strike the
LAST blow in the fight. Better luck next time, Sounds.
It appears that the political points which go with this position have catapulted
me to graduation. I hadn't been expecting it. In fact, I hadn't been paying
attention to my situation vis-a-vis possible graduation.
I leave here as: 11-10-10-13-17-8-15. Greatsword favorite--I can't even lift
one! Moderate/moderate.
Rudi Jamos
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
SUNSET brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. SONS OF SATAN turned their 1-4-0 turn
into a 8th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see MINOS win a fight
and gain 14 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, PLAGUE OF FEATHERS beat BLAK MASK and BLAK
MASK lost 11 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like SUNSET has some guts at
least, RUDI JAMOS the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. SKULL
STROKER challenged SUNSET's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with
the old, in with the new, as SKULL STROKER takes the Title and last week's bar tab
from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how
else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
COSMIC FREAK OUT, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass
act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was GRIM FANDANGO. Ha ha ha
ha! Now look at this. INCISION challenged down 18 against THAT 70'S TEAM's
WATERGATE. What a weasel! Ha ha aha ha aha ha!!! INCISION was was beat by by THAT
70'S TEAM's warrior! Thank the gods for big favors! ha! I guess I can give a
little credit to DAMION of SONS OF SATAN for challenging up by 21 to DRANE. DAMION
lost to get 42 points of recognition. And we have BLEVINS in a challenge, going down
8 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought BLEVINS showed great skill and
promise when he overcame ANIMATE TOFU. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for SUNSET's
morgue. More variety. Gee, MINISTRY OF SKA, ain't it past due for sending SKA-BOOM
Dark Arena? What took ol' '6-10-2' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha! We're all going
to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Floyd -- (staggering back Fred Sanford-style) He speaks!!! Good to know you're
actually for real here and not some mirage or something! And a DM column, too, I'm
impressed. I'm sure you enjoyed that challenge last cycle, too, couldn't resist.
I'm sure the favor will be returned (or at least attempted!). You still didn't tell
me how you got the Hippy back, though. -- Stik
P.S. I'll take top team back, thank you! ;)
Ace -- (shrug) I know you're good for it. -- Blevins
Incision -- Unexpected and impressive, kudos. I'll still be around, however.... --
Skydancer
Watergate -- Another day at the office, another of your style eatin' some sand! --
Drane, punching out for lunch
Matsuda Kao -- Hmm, and you said WE were the ones being specifically targeted...
hmm...so much for your undefeated record. -- Dazey
Kano Clan -- Now what did I say about 'pointless and dimwitted' insults, son? You
know, I used to be in your exact same situation in this same arena. That is, I was
the worst team in the arena and continuously got my ass kicked, yet I spewed bile and
insults at anyone and everyone anyway cause I thought it'd make me feared and
respected. Of course, that was 1985 and I was 15 years old...ah well, live and
learn. Just take a step back, breathe, wipe the spittle off your chin and simmer
down a tad and let your dueling do the talking. On second thought, if you keep
dueling like last turn (0-3 I believe?), maybe you should just stick with the
childish insults, at least they're a little entertaining still. Have a nice day! --
Stik and Grim Fandango
Grimey Fandango's -- Well, well.... Once again you demonstrate unbelievable LUCK in
obtaining your challenge against Matsuda Kao over his challenge against Dazey!! Am
rather happy to see that Dazey learned virtually nothing from the experience. I just
wonder how long your incredible LUCK will hold out. -- The Clan
Grim Fang's -- It was fully expected from the very start that you would _probably_
win most of the fights we have together. But at least I have the privilege of saying
that the majority of my fights have been honorably contested, as opposed to the utter
dishonor you consistently display with your DOWN-challenges. -- Kano Clan
I See Sounds -- No doubt it's an amazing experience, but bend your thoughts to seeing
your opponent while on the sands, eh? You'll get yourself killed if you keep on
swiping at the yells from the stands. Doesn't do a bit of good, either, because the
fans just keep yelling. Seems to stir 'em up. Can't have that. -- Rudi Jamos, who
would prefer the fans to sit passively, awaiting whatever entertainment is offered
Blevins -- You--! Words fail me! You are so low, so disgusting, such a--! Words
fail me! How DARE you win? Who put you up to this? Don't think you can keep silent
and protect your conspirator! I have ways to find out! I will not allow this insult
to pass unavenged! I have FRIENDS! We'll be SEEING you, but you WON'T be seeing us!
-- Ace the Bad Loser
Ol' Blue -- Wow, you ARE nasty, but at least you aren't a mob in yourself. I
probably wouldn't have survived that. -- Djininski
Kneads Flesh -- (disgruntled look) Quite painfully, too. If only you'd been a
woman.... (sigh) Ah, well. I think I'll go find a woman to stroke me and purr,
kiss it and make it well, that sort of thing. -- John Darling
P.S. I may be officially a golem, but I have gender, you know, and I can really
APPRECIATE a good woman. Better than most men, I dare say, since I was DESIGNED to
be a dramatic hero.
Maine Coon Cat -- I do like a strong, big-boned woman. Care to meet me after the
fights? -- Lugo Beloski
C. Canary -- I didn't feel like losing. I woke up, the sun was shining, there was a
pleasant breeze, breakfast was perfect--no yolks broken, no whites runny--every last
thing was prefect. How could I lose a fight on a day like that? -- Rudi Jamos
Ultraist -- That wasn't very nice. At least she was only a 43 skill base fighter. --
C. Canary
Bouncer -- Nice fight. -- C. Canary
Minos -- Nice fight. Thanks for the skills. -- C. Canary
