DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, Hamster crouched so damn low he threw his furry little back out and couldn't
make it to the fights in time, so here I sit at last after another fine battle with
Black Tiger, a worthy adversary no doubt! You almost had me that time, but you gotta
watch us plungers, we're very sneaky when we finally decide to fight back!
Perhaps this week I'll get my chance at Mushiku Bo on his way out at long last. Does
he have the offense with his faves knowledge to take me out? I'm sure he'd love to,
but I doubt it. If I can hold him off and sit the throne for two more turns I'll be
outta here (looks like with just one more I'll be one PP short, damnit!), and Stik
will be MOST thankful to finally get one of my style graduated from Sunset. We shall
see. Until then I remain....
Graveyard Tan
Duelmaster of Sunset
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SUNSET. I don't wanna hurt anybody's
feelings or anything, but LEGRAND'S CLONE BANK really goofed with their 1-4-0. MVP
award for VULGE? GRIM FANDANGO's proud of him after beating FOORMAN and getting 16
points. Talk about yer big time losers! FOORMAN got smashed by VULGE, and lost 15
points! Was that a tear I saw in SHAMAN's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And
wasn't GRAVEYARD TAN fit to be tied! Who was the wiseguy that said SUNSET's
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Cagliostro's Castle? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of GRIM FANDANGO must
be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that
I don't? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are NOMADIC TRIBE? GRIM FANDANGO, an easy
team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Like, is
HAMMETT popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of SUNSET! He's got a
3-7-0, is that good? PETULANT PETRAL must not be a good enough fighter to get in
fair fights. It challenged HAMMETT. 9 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they
tell me.) I thought PETULANT PETRAL showed great skill and promise when it subdued
HAMMETT. 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. Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. I had a fun
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Solzhenitsyn -- If only your boss had kept your candyass around one more turn, your
wish would've been granted and I'd have saved him having to fill out a DA strat. --
Nevermoor
Mushiku Bo -- Congrats on your invite at last, enjoy retirement. -- Grim Fandango
Cannon Fodder -- #$^%&*!#$%.... -- Your new best friend Vulge
Philly Dog -- That self-abuse thing you've got going isn't good for your arena
career. Course, the same could apply to me.... -- Stay Gold
Sherman (a.k.a. the Rosy O'Donnell of Duel2) -- (stepping out of gold-plated limo,
squinting, pooching lips and and checking comb-over) Said the pot to the kettle...as
if your meandering tirades filled with oddball cryptic references and 7th grade
insults weren't just as bad...it was your constant pissing and moaning about how
other people, particularly some veteran managers I have a lot of respect for and who
are much more successful than you, play the game that led to my initial bloated
response to you. But that's all out there now, archived for all to enjoy. Feel free
to continue to entertain the rest of us with your little act. Oh, and you stink on
the View, your broadway show bombed, your magazine failed, you're fat pig, really not
a good person, blah blah blah...........THE APPRENTICE!!! -- Stik
Ursa Minor -- Indeed -- Seraphim
Sunset -- 50% slipping, must hold on...too feeble...drat. -- Seraphim
Mushiku Bo -- Nice turn around. Congrats on your graduation--enjoy the isle and all
it has to offer. -- Dr. Dream and the Tribe
D.R.I. -- We missed the opportunity last turn, but better late than never--
congratulations on reaching the century mark in wins. It is an accomplishment! --
Nomad and his Tribe
Sherman and the Loons -- We also missed your landmark accomplishment as you managed
to reach the 100 loss mark. While perhaps not a reason for celebration, it does at
least indicate your willingness to stick it out. And, on a more positive note, it
would appear that win number 100 isn't all that far behind. -- Nomad and his Tribe
Sherman -- Wait, did I read that ad correctly? The same manager that periodically
complains about scum was running a 3 wit TP?! Now, that is truly classic! -- Nomad
Graveyard Tan -- Congrats on the Title! I almost had you that time. -- Black Tiger
Lurker -- Nice try, just not quite nice enough. -- Ziggy Wolfsbane
Hammett -- Considering your sizable experience advantage, that wasn't much of an
effort. Thanks for providing me with my first win! -- Ursa Minor
Black Tiger -- I'm sure your missed battle shot at me, while hiding from Crouching
Hamster, (who apparently was cowering from himself), was better spent catching
stardust. Or, even better yet, picking fleas. -- Bulgakov, retired, totally
Luke Becker(?) -- What, you weren't clever enough to come up with Joe Smith? --
Lagkervist
Ursa Minor -- Bad match-up for me. The Major version would've been all I could do to
stop from having my head chopped off. -- Hamsun
Truth -- And the honest unconditional truth is...you stink. -- Whitman
