DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'll try to hold the stand-ins at bay until we have some move to the CCs
bracket. It's kind of sad seeing a DM lose the throne that way.
Serena
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in LAPUR.
Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! We now have a
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. THE GUILD now holds the crown and
they are betting they can keep it. Coming up with a solid 3-0-0 outing, TREKKERS has
advanced 4 places in the rankings. THE GUILD is no joke as it posted a 4-1-0 week
advancing from 2nd place to 1st place. Hey everybody, watch out for VAGAN, who flew
up 18 points in the rankings after mashing DRAAF like a melon. Keep your eye on this
guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was THE PAIN AINT CHEAP, who dropped
13 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with KIRA NERYS. It's a
proud day for the THE GUILD stable, as their warrior, ZARGAS, ascended the
Duelmaster's throne. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps
T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad SHADOWMIST? Big bad SHADOWMIST. Big bad SHADOWMIST. LAPUR's afraid of the
big bad SHADOWMIST. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling
your rasberries, cause DEVIATION beats feet every time SHADOWMIST smiles at them.
Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, WINDGLASS would be
president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Proving again that LAPUR is not
rated G, HIRONOBU of the BLACK SAMURAI slew the warrior DANCING CAT in a rather
bloody bout. Let's look for a bloodfeud. Remember: alliances are great, but try
and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Perilous Quinn -- Yeah, we're kinda like mold that way. -- the various members of The
Guild
Dancing Cat -- Nope, two left feet, that's me. Are you offering lessons? -- Zorch
Jayla -- Nicely done. I think I may need to change things up a bit. -- Hope's End
Oh, the ingnominy! Losing the title to a stand-in. -- Zargas, hanging his head in
shame
Kira Nerys -- Um, I don't mean to be indelicate, but, ah, what is up with your nose?
-- Vagan
Prexus -- Nice fight. -- Zot
Red Mare -- Wait, what? I wasn't ready! -- Zorch
Zot -- At least we escaped "third time's the charm." I have always felt one should
as "third time for what?" before accepting that statement. -- Sandstorm
Fiasa Deriga -- And I thank Shierrah for that! -- Windglass
Fiasa Deriga -- Well, you MAY have tipped the scale for me. Jorja has actually said
she MIGHT think about giving me a strategy change for the new year. I can hope. --
Dancing Cat
Zorch -- Ha! Stepping on your foot seems to have done the trick. -- Red Mare
Hironobu -- At least I blasted a little of the shine off your armor. -- Sandstorm
Rookie Mistake -- Ah. Yes, I would say that, if I didn't know your manager is no
rookie. -- Windglass
Arlus -- Too bad we couldn't both win. -- Morning Drum
P.S. I am NOT a golem. The very idea is repugnant.
Ghost of Morning thunder -- Honestly, I wasn't aiming at vitals, but youleft all of
those opeings I couldn't resist. -- Jayla
The Pain Ain't Cheap -- That didn't work. -- Draaf
P.S. The name suits you!
P.Q. -- Don't know how you missed (or I avoided) that TREE you were swinging at me!?!
-- Serena
