SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of ZORPUNT. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Nothing is certain
in ZORPUNT, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top
team--THE ASININE. BATTLEMANIA had cause to celebrate, after TOKIDOKI got 18 points
by beating TOMMY HEARNS. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 15 points to STONEFISH. (Discrete enough, ORESTES?) KID
ROCK found out that ZORPUNT isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be
Duelmaster here! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of BATTLEMANIA, alone and unchallenged. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, THE ASININE scurried away from BATTLEMANIA. Oh,
the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and CANE TOAD is it right now.
Most challenged warrior. Isn't AUSSIE KILLERS proud! Them's the breaks, IGGY POP.
Expecting fair challenges from THE ASININE is evidently too much to ask. Bookies and
DAMNATION were more than a little surprised, as IGGY POP snatched an easy victory
from DAMNATION, gaining 27 points. Mismatched by 9 points, TELLER FLETE was bested
by PERDITION. Is this really worth noting? I thought PERDITION showed great skill
and promise when he subdued TELLER FLETE. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Q: What's a record
like 10-9-1 get you? A: A free trip to the Dark Arena! This week's winner: PENOK
of BATTLEMANIA! I get a special thrill from seeing innocent boy like DAMNATION from
THE ASININE get pointlessly killed. Good show, IGGY POP! (No mercy.) Questions are
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain
tavern in ZORPUNT would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure of
writing Spyreports for ZORPUNT? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Leeta -- Shoot. I wish I'd seen your ad before I submitted my newest warrior's
fighting name to the commission. He didn't know what to use and I wish I'd said
"Birdstrike".... -- Darkfist
Perdition -- From what I saw of your fight with Bubba, I'd say you're definitely
faster without the armor. -- PdS
Time to see if the curse of the Konep is any match for blood magic in the dark. --
Penok
THawk -- Man, what kind of stable are you running? Don't your guys know that when
they are Duelmaster they aren't expected to just sit there and twiddle their thumbs?
A few words would be nice. -- Darkfist
Cane Toad -- The arenamaster was not the only person to be disgusted at the turn the
duel had taken. I'm fairly disgusted myself. -- Trisha Wingfoot
Stone Fish -- How come YOU are the one with "stone" in his name, and *I* was the one
who was "dropping like a rock"? That seems unfair. -- Tombo Lark, who should be
soaring like a bird
Iggy Pop -- Is it your name? You feel demeaned by the less than respectful
designation and you try harder in consequence? -- Jessie June
Sorrow Harvester -- Heck. -- Teller Flete
Tommy Hearns -- What WAS it with that idiot in the stands? "Come on, Jeb Poole, you
can do it"? Do what, die? What if I didn't want to? -- Ghost of Jeb Poole
4 February 2004
Greeting from Jhans, DM 36 -- In 2 turns the kLk will host our first annual "St.
Valentines Day Massacre" in Jhans, arena 36. (Kill Contest) The contest will begin
on turn 450. It will run for 10 turns. On turn 461 the winners will be announced.
There will be 3 separate categories, the team with the most kills, the alliance with
the most kills, and the warrior with the most kills. For the manager of the team
with the most kills a PRIZE of 10 ROLL-UPS will be rewarded (or $50 deposited into
his account). No need to declare yourself in the personals. If you are in DM 36,
you will be part of the contest whether you like it or not. We encourage as much
trash talk as you'd like. All teams, managers, and alliances invited. Please
contact Polarius (mgr. of Blitzkrieg) in DM 36 with questions. Or you can email me
at jamieptmo@hotmail.com. Good luck and see you in the sands. -- Polarius
25 February 2004
Readers, and especially those who volunteered warriors -- My apologies for the sudden
lack of episodes. I've been sick, but expect to be back at the keyboard soon. -- the

MONGO'S MARDI GRAS MADNESS DUELMASTERS AUCTION
Mongo, aka Matt McIntosh and ex-Warden of the Dark Circle, is auctioning off his
entire collection of Duelmasters warriors and stables. Don't miss out on this chance
to own some fantastic warriors! There are ADM warriors available in every class from
Primus to Freshmen, as well as over a dozen Basic stables.
Does a Slasher with +4 attack, +4 decisiveness, +3 initiative and +2 riposte
sound good? How about a Lunger who received the benefit of a TC prize, has TVed
three times after graduating--and still hasn't maxed out his skills!? How about a
Striker in the Freshmen class who has decisiveness for a favorite learn and the MAUL
for a favorite weapon!?
Or perhaps you prefer playing in Basic. Then how does a stable with four Adept
class warriors who have a combined record of 41-19-9 sound? Or maybe a stable with
three 21-Will warriors? Or perhaps a stable with four Initiates and a Rookie who
have a combined record of 23-6-1?
The quality of the lots is excellent. All you need to view and bid on the lots
is go to:
http://members.aol.com/jvmerlino/mardigras.html
If you want to be on the mailing list to receive regular updates on the auction,
just send an e-mail to JVMerlino@aol.com. Merlin, aka John Merlino and also an ex-
Warden of the Dark Circle, will be running this auction for me. I just moved to New
Orleans and am likely currently stumbling around the French Quarter...because it's
Mardi Gras! So I have named my auction in honor of this occasion.
The auction will start on Saturday, March 13th, 2004, and will continue for
several weeks. But you should get your bids in early if you want your best chance at
owning any of these fantastic warriors and stables.
Many thanks to all for your interest and your bids,
Mongo
