DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
These hairy little creeps think they're warriors? We should never have let them
out of the mines, if you ask me. But since we DID, well, then, it's RIGHT that I
should chop this one into little pieces. Of course, being a DWARF, he's already
little. But I made him littler.
Ha!
Ace
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly SUNSET games. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week KANO CLAN went 2-3-1 to move up 3 in
the rankings. CROUCHING HAMSTER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested DIVA NASHONA and was awarded 23 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CALPURNIA put down
REAGANOMICS, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. Although
LILLIAN LUST made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious ACE. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never
fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. D.R.I. is feared. This much I can
say. Apparently the stalwarts of KANO CLAN are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot
but expect competition from those below. VIOLENT PACIFICATION take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in SUNSET. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the
games this week, it seems that MAST MONKEY posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized DJININSKI. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand MAST MONKEY subdued
DJININSKI. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. My sources at D.R.I. stable claim
they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result of the untimely demise of
TATTOOED GURU. Beware ALTURIA! I have seen warriors die in youth. I have seen
women cut down in their prime. This week SWORD OPERA must mourn the loss of 9-3-0
DIVA NASHONA to D.R.I.. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the
arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in SUNSET as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed
a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms
no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Literate Lions -- Congrats on a perfect debut! Welcome to Sunset, Jewel of the
Delarquan Federation and Arena of Death. May your stay be long, blood soaked and
gore spattered, and may your losses to our stable begin to pile up immediately!
(grin) Drinks on us tonight at the Broken Bone, as is our tradition for all new
teams! Who's your manager, by the way? -- Grim Fandango
D.R.I. and Sword Opera -- Nice turns for you as well, I see now how I managed my nice
1-4...ah well, forge ahead! -- Stik
Mast Monkey -- Nice try, but the old fart still has a couple tricks up his sleeve.
Or maybe it's just that he can take a punch.... -- Tusk
Well, looks like the "new blood" is keeping this place alive at the moment, as all
the old fogies are apparently off on holiday. To you that are here, fight on and
make Sunset new again. Blades up! -- Stik
Stik -- Sorry about missing that turn. It's ironic though that you made the
statement about ducking the BF and then my team doesn't run. I'll probably miss more
turns in the future in this arena. I work out of town and the newsletter never
arrives until Monday or later. By the time I get home Friday night, the next turn is
due on Tuesday. So it's up to the mail gods if it gets there on time or not. -- Var
Grim Fandango -- You have one more turn to BF. Are you going to use Bonedust again?
I don't think he has it in him to beat me again. In fact I think I'd rather enjoy
beating him down again. -- Reaganomics
All -- Look at that!! Parry rippers went 3-0 in this arena last turn. A couple more
turns and we'll rule this arena!! -- Reaganomics
Vergil -- 22 minute fight!! Yeah!! -- Violent Pacification
Solstice -- Wotte in God's nayme was thatt for? Thee didst nott e'en learn aught. --
Breakspere
Rank discrimination! Speciest! This is intolerable! Ace, a pathetic example even
of a mammal, defeats the Khalhums Dwarf and is made Duel2Dude. *I* do the same, and
with more CLASS, and what do *I* get? "Oh, gosh, Duckbert, just because you did so
well, we won't EAT you today." By the Shell of the Great Egg, I swear that someone
will PAY for this injustice! -- Duckbert the seriously wroth
Couch Slouch -- Madam, your manager does you a grave disservice with that cognomen,
for you are plainly no "slouch." The varlet is impertinent, and you should chastise
him (or her or it, as might happen to be appropriate) roundly. Or squarely, or even
in an irregular fashion, if that should please you. I would be honored to hold your
coat while you attended to this. -- Djininski
The Fratsfa Slave, at five-eleven, is a dwarf? I don't think so! Somebody's playing
games here, and it Is Not Funny. Fix it, Arenamaster Harth! -- Diva Nashona
P.S. There are entirely too many dwarves around as it is. Let us not INVENT them
where none exist.
P.P.S. In fact, now that I think about it, I don't believe that ANY dwarf exists.
It's all a ploy by short people to get a racial discrimination subsidy.
Momoro Wa -- I note that in my personal last time, I might have given cause for one
to assume that I meant to indicate that cows, out of all mammals, are stupid. It is
true that cows are stupid, but so are all the OTHER mammals. -- Duckbert

Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
