DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Stonefish, you're going to have to figure out a way to get at someone smart
enough to wear steel gloves! But it was a good try on your part, if someone who just
stands there could be said to be trying.
Limpette
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ZORPUNT! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with GREAT WHITE SHARK? It
actually beat KRILL CAVALRY's PINE LEAF, and walked away with 12 more points from the
fight. Major screwup at KRILL CAVALRY. PINE LEAF lost 10 points to GREAT WHITE
SHARK. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe PINE LEAF will provide more easy wins...
ZORPUNT, set your sights on VENOMOUS CONCUBINE. She'll be happy to entertain all
requests after defeating LIMPETTE. GREAT WHITE SHARK looked pretty Duelmasterlike as
it took ZORPUNT's top spot with 79 points. Now, what will LIMPETTE do? Wouldn't it
be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the
uses of convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being the most challenged warrior, PINE LEAF! Don't make idle boasts, they may
come back to haunt you.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover
stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
ZORPUNT is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for
my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Barkhaotai, Ambitious Guard -- Are you SURE this is the right direction for your
ambitions? To desire a better position and life for yourself is good, but what you
seem to be approaching is a death for yourself. Don't do this. Retire now, while
you can, and run a tavern or something. -- Pine Leaf
Monty -- So...you rescue rangers, do you? And then bury them in the sand? Thanks
loads, but I could do without that sort of thing. -- Joe Poole
Dale -- Well, shucky-doo! They didn't tell me I'd have to fight Orcs! I don't do
orcs at all. Not if I see 'em coming first. -- Bubba Jones
Ah, the Mordant Refugee. Too bad he can't find work that suits him better. -- Trina
Lark
T-Hawk -- Sorry, but we're going to have to wait to find out what Stonefish and the
Shark found until after the Face to Face. -- the Scribe

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
