DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, Graveyard Tan, the odds of your matching up with a Tribemember were pretty
good. Luckily for us, you got me! Unless we can convince the Hamster to come out of
hiding soon we may be seeing more of each other. It was a nice little match-up.
As for the arena as a whole, it would seem that the Donald and Rosie are getting a
bit feisty. Nothing wrong with a little chatter to get things going. I keep
expecting one as Literate as Sherman to make use of clever quotations in his ads.
Instead he chooses to label people using references to popular tv? Members of the
Literature Hall of Fame are turning over in their grave! As for the one labeled as
Donald, well, what does one really expect from a Fandango? A funky interpretive
dance? Ah well, to each their own.
My personal preference is simply to stay on this throne for awhile.
Shaman, Duelmaster of Sunset
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out SUNSET to see
what's new. Too bad, LIGHT BRIGADE, but NOMADIC TRIBE was just too good to be
stopped. I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but FEEBLE LEGION really
goofed with their 0-2-0. The guys at LEGRAND'S CLONE BANK like really pulled
together to get a 1-3-0 this turn, moving up by 3. One team deserves special mention
'cause they moved up 1 after going 4-1-0. Keep it up, NOMADIC TRIBE! MVP award for
GANGPLANK RIDER? SEA DOGS' proud of him after beating BLACK TIGER and getting 28
points. Talk about yer big time losers! BLACK TIGER got smashed by GANGPLANK RIDER,
and lost 28 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think SHAMAN
should let GRAVEYARD TAN be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. I
hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want
photogenic fighters for PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. NOMADIC TRIBE was SUNSET's most avoided team. Is there some award
for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are GRIM FANDANGO? NOMADIC TRIBE, an easy
team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can GRIM
FANDANGO's BLAKOUT be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that
really the same? See if I ever talk to NEVERMOOR again! HALLOWED HERON was so low
when He challenged he. Hhmph! If NEVERMOOR can't beat a warrior 19 points below
himself, that he CHALLENGED, he oughtta be selling food in the stands! STAY GOLD
must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged LAGERKVIST.
12 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought STAY GOLD showed
great skill and promise when he bested LAGERKVIST. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Everyone has problems, but why did PHILTHBALLS send LUKE BECKER to the
Dark Arena? He had a 3-1-0, and I thought he looked neat on the sands... What if
they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. I had
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Shaman -- ongrats on your win and the title, made me look silly! Now stay there a
while so we can free up this friggin' logjam! -- Graveyard Tan
Legrand's Clone Bank -- Don't look at me, I'm just as surprised as you! The Old
Man's wondering if it'll be the fearsome old Doc Legrand bloodfeud style of the past
or a kinder, gentler new way of handling things? It was your challenge, after all...
and I was just getting used to winning, too. -- Stay Gold the Unlucky
O'Flaherty -- I see a torchlight fight in your near future, son. -- Nevermoor
Foorman -- (wink!) -- Vulge
Whitman -- Nt the debut I was hoping for. You were supposed to go down amidst a
flurry of vicious, bloody crits to the head and upper body region, not...that other
thing that happened.... -- Blakout
Down to 11 teams, four of which didn't fight?!?!??? What is up with our Sunset,
people?? Damion, Shaman, Ultraist, Doc Steele, Sir Steel, Papa Bear, Crip, where are
the VETS??? Anybody got a tongue besides me, Nomad, and Sherman??? Look alive out
there!!! -- Stik and Grim Fandango
Cannon Fodder -- That was an exciting fight. Perhaps you should be renamed "Tiger
Food" since we don't have many cannons in the area. -- Black Tiger
Albatross -- Perhaps that wasn't the best match-up for you. I might have had a
slight FE advantage. -- Ziggy Birdbane
Lagerkvist -- That is one ugly novel you seem to be writing at the moment. Stick it
out and perhaps you will find a happy ending. -- Ursa Minor
Hamsun!!??? Did I fight a ghost? I would have sworn it was Hammett I fought. Those
crazy loons are spooks now also! As if a crazy bird isn't enough! -- Ursa Minor

I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
