DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well what do you know? This "panty-waist PR" knocked off the old Duelmaster to take
the throne. The turn before I knocked off the tourney brat Rajerek. I'm definitely
not a pushover. I'm the first warrior from the Dirty Rotten Imbeciles to be sitting
here on top of this fine city. If I stay here for two more turns I'm off to the good
life. My choices for the next fight are slim. Since I'm 0-3 lifetime against
lungers, I think I'll challenge Bonedust. We split a couple of matches a long time
ago. We'll see who wins the tiebreaker!!
Reaganomics
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. SUNSET needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Uncool, SEA DOGS. I
mean 0-0-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training
practice! The guys at METAL MARVELS like really pulled together to get a 4-0-0 this
turn, moving up by 7. MVP award for HOPE? FEEBLE LEGION's proud of her after
beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and getting 22 points. Talk about yer major upsets! NERVE
RAKER's match with SHERWOOD cost him a loss of 18 points! Like GRIM FANDANGO's
BONEDUST is sweating since he got challenged by Duelmaster REAGANOMICS! And I was
just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome BONEDUST.
Aren't GRIM FANDANGO proud. (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said SUNSET's
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Baba Yaga's Bar and Grill? Don't look at me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? SONS OF SATAN was SUNSET's most avoided team. Is
there some award for that? I don't know what KANO CLAN's been doing. They certainly
haven't been accepting many fights from SONS OF SATAN, that's fer sher. Like, is
GLEEK popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of SUNSET! He's got a
0-3-0, is that good? LEAD must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.
She challenged ZAN. 9 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I
thought LEAD showed great skill and promise when she won victory over ZAN. All
right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. What if they had a fight and nobody showed
up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. SUNSET is like such a dump, and you guys smell
too much! I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Duelmaster Reaganomics -- Ahh, so close!! I thought I had you in minute one, your
desperation strategy is a killer! My manager is green with envy over such a ripper
as you, I guess I'm just chopped liver--er, striker.... -- Lord Protector Scythe
Adductor -- That armor won't help you hide from me, I do a bit more damage than
Scythe.... -- Bonedust
Conrad -- Now THAT'S how we dance the Grim Fandango!! -- Vulge
Shaman -- Most impressive, and you're welcome for the skills! -- Bolero, who needs to
work on her dance a bit before a rematch...
Welcome back to town, Sir Steel and Metal Marvels, Blood's Bruts, and Assur with
Sports! Let's spill some blood and drink some beer!! -- Grim Fandango
And a most impressive start for Woody and his Lightbringers, well fought!! Drop by
the Broken Bone tonight post fights and have a round on us! Welcome to Sunset!! --
Stik and Grim Fandango
Doc Steele -- Congrats on Rajerek's grad notice, can't say I'm too sorry to see him
go. Represent us well on the Isle! -- Stik
Crouching Hamster -- "Luckily beat" my (bleep). It was all part of the master plan.
No, really, I fight better lying flat on my back. Opens up the nasal passages and
lungs. Seriously, lying down like that improves my balance tremendously. For real,
I'm far more effective when knocked down, since I no longer have to worry about
protecting my legs. Allows me to stay mentally sharp and focused. Honestly, luck
had nothing to do with it. -- Hart Crane
Mushiko Bo -- My fifteenth fight against a Mr. Miyagi wannabe and what do I have to
show for it? A trip back to initiates. This is getting humiliating. -- Sherwood
Vulge -- I can't believe a knuckle-dragging, illiterate, incompetent, incontinent
Neanderthal pulled that off. -- Conrad
Bolero -- I'm happy to say that the reception you provided on the sands was as
generous as the free round your manager bought at the tavern. It makes up for
Dream's unfortunate experience as well. -- Shaman
Matsuda Kao -- Well, that went well. And here I thought a Matchup with someone 20
points higher was a bad thing. -- Raker
Blood's Bruts -- Team #8? Warrior #21? Had the rollups for a while? Lesola's style
and weapon sure were interesting. Better luck next time.
Genghis Tron -- That was certainly interesting. -- Dream
10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there
could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great
14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:
The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
