DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, all!
This is the last time I shall address you as my invitation to the Isle came last
week. It will be a great honor to be the first from this team to graduate and fight
for Noble on The Isle. Unfortunately, I must've had stars in my eyes or something,
as I proceeded to go 0-3 in the champions class at the most recent tournament. In
fact, this news must've overwhelmed our entire squad as Tentacruel was the only one
of us to manage 3 wins, and was the sole highlight from amongst us. Because of this,
we'll be making some changes. Goldeen and I will be assaulting the DA this turn and
see if we can survive. Regardless of my outcome, I'm out of here...Goldeen has a
little bit more to think about before she fights again. I wish her luck....
The other warriors on our squad will remain here and continue to fight and prepare
for their future. Hopefully Wartortle, Gyrados and/or Goldeen if she survives can
continue the recent Water Deck tradition of dominating the top ranks. Still no new
teams, and interest in the arena is still flagging. If this keeps up, perhaps we'll
be one of the arenas to close in the future. Luckily, the fans still seem to be
coming out regularly.
I say good luck to you Zorpunt! I hope to bring you glory in the future!!
Croconaw
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ZORPUNT to see
what's new. MVP award for GORTHAUR? FACES OF DOOM's proud of him after beating
TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA and getting 31 points. Talk about yer big time losers! JAMES T.
JERK got smashed by TENTACRUEL, and lost 18 points! Like DARK ARENA's STONE GOLEM is
sweating since he got Dark Arena Challenged by Duelmaster CROCONAW! The crowds were
amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, CROCONAW, leaving WATER DECK
in mourning. WARTORTLE gets to be new Duelmaster. But doesn't this mean people
might try to kill him, too? Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his
teammates? Don't ask me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. The warriors of BATTLEMANIA must be getting lonely. They were the
most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? I don't know what STAR
DRECK's been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from
BATTLEMANIA, that's fer sher. Like, is GREAT WHITE SHARK popular, or what? It was
challenged the most in all of ZORPUNT! It's got a 8-7-0, is that good?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ZORPUNT ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Hey! Quit laughing! Just because GOLDEEN had 10-2-2 was no
reason for WATER DECK to send her to the Dark Arena! Stop it! Hey, warriors get
killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending them to the Dark Arena.
What's wrong with GOLDEEN's 10-2-2, WATER DECK? Enough already! All I've heard
lately is "Will 13 YRS & COUNTING Bloodfeud WARTORTLE of WATER DECK to revenge LITTLE
GIRL CRUSH's death?" I mean, who cares? 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. ZORPUNT is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

I am currently trying to put together a favorites chart for AD warriors. I
desperately need help with this. What I need are style, favorite rhythm (ex.:
hi/low), favorite weapons, and tactics. What would be great is if you could send me
a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out. This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior. Minis will work, too!
For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart. There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to: Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork. (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.) Thanks!
