                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

Oops, we, as a team, forgot to submit personal ads last time, and as a result, have 
been punished with taking the throne and having to write a Duelmaster's column.    
Thankfully, Colonel Klink has decided to abandon Hogan's Heroes, and is off to the 
Isle, so I can take this opportunity to tell you just what a horrible Kommandant  and 
teammate he really was.

Herr Klink started his career as an overgrown 11-11-18-17-5-11-11 Striker with Very 
Little Endurance and doing great damage.  He left us with Advanced experts in Decise 
(-1) and Riposte (-2), Experts in Attack and Initiative (both mode).   The commission 
has revealed his favourite weapon is the almighty whiffle, with a Low/Low rhythm, and 
using the Bash Tactic. He also had a favourite learn of riposte skills.   How he ever 
won a fight, let alone left here with a winning record is beyond me.    All Heil 5 
Will!

                                          -- Sgt. Rock
                                             Military Mayhem
                                             Duelmaster of Chimlevtal

                                      SPY REPORT

    The story beings with a minor one point up challenge, likely looking for an easy 
win and some skills.  TANTRUM has been active in challenging of late, challenging in 
each of the last three turns.  However, after two unsuccessful challenges in a row, he 
went back to the one that worked. This time, however, he eliminated any possibility 
for a future challenge. RED PEPPER's career and life are over.
    There was a second killing, but this one was much lower in the rankings and 
happened in a matchup.  And clearly the arenamaster was influenced by the crowd.  
ANIMUS was put to death by CROW BAR in a 3 minute beginner's duel.  Perhaps one day 
CROW BAR will take the popularity leader award which HURRICANE took over today from 
Lord Protector HANZO.
    I would recommend you all put out the welcome mat for HOGWART'S STUDENTS. This 
team is managed by Agent R and I am almost certain he will introduce himself very 
soon.  The transfer program from Hogwart's to Alastari is in its infancy, so far just 
a successful trial run in DM 93.  They now will finish out their studies here in 
Chimlevtal.  You all know what to do!
    Some really pretty down challenges were issued this turn!  All were successful in 
getting cheap and easy wins!  All also involved a single team, CARTOON NETWORK, with 
one issued and two received.  HARPOON: -11 recognition, -4 fights to MAMMOTH.  ANAIS: 
-18 recognition to NELLIE PURR, only getting 2 recognition in the process (5 more of 
the same?!?). EMERGENCY ROOM: -20 recognition, -5 fights to CRAIG OF THE CREEK.  Hmmm. 
Apparently, CARTOON NETWORK has made some 'friends' with all the recent challenges.  
That is one of the other dangers of challenging a lot.  You make 'friends' who then 
ask your warriors to special dances. 
    AFTER MIDNIGHT was once again the most avoided team, this time by a landslide.  11 
warriors (including one twice) avoided AFTER MIDNIGHT, with ASSASSIN NATION sending 4 
of the avoids.  Don't worry, though, the scribes were not without work as 26 of the 43 
warriors put in 47 total avoids.  Challenges were flying, too.  11 of the 22 fights 
were challenge matches.
    CRAIG OF THE CREEK was reported as the most challenged warrior. Friends...  The 
only noteworthy team performance (well, not counting 0-fers by veterans such as Assur) 
was by the AVENGERS.  4-1 and 55 recogntion gained.  Look for them in 2 more turns as 
the Current Top Team.  Funny how that works.  You have a stellar turn and you 
suddently compete for the Current Top Team award.
    As is too often the case, I am pressed for time and do not have time (right now) 
to read all the fine (and not so fine) personal ads and dm column.  Thanks for writing 
them.  They are sitting in files on my hard disk and I'll read them when you all do in 
the newsletter.  It'll be a nice diversion from an otherwise boring day later this 
week.

sir, are a gutless coward and that says something coming from me.  Do you not know 
where you are? You're in Chimlevtal.  And in Chimlevtal, we honor our dead by virtue 
of bloodfeud.  Now, you may not be as cowardly as that brown nosing, half-assed, lily-
livered, yellow bellied, beached whale of a manager that we sometimes call Assur, but 
you are well on your way. -- Weirdo

Misfortune, honor? I dunno, but I sure can keep my eye on the puck! -- Hockey Stick

Sgt. Rock, all the Useful Weapons salute your talent and Title. -- Lady Smith

Whoa! Sum er me wepons dun taked off. Got me sum nu good'ns, tho. Yup. -- Smithy

Yes we do, Smithy. Brass Knuckles and Crow Bar have signed up for our Useful Weapons 
team. I think they will do well. -- Lady Smith

Winter, I didn't like that at all, so I'm turning the heat up. -- Lasso

Tanken, har, har, har. Ahoy, matey! -- Harpoon

Bimbo Belinda, you are at your best when you are quiet, and down and out. Good job. -- 
Lady Smith

Harpoon -- I'm challenging you in order to test the veracity of my creamy topping, vs. 
your...whatever.  To be honest, I didn't really want to challenge you, but the boss 
said so...not much I could do.  Not sure how you felt about Smithy, and Lady Smith's 
statements in the personal ads last turn about you and your teammates.  Which was 
worse, his demeaning comments, or her creepy "application" offer to the city to get 
new warriors for your team?  Wait...did you have to apply with her?  Since it sounds 
like she wants you gone...what does that say about your...endowments?  I'd rather be 
on cheapo Destitute Noble's squad vs. the freakshow you got going on over there. -- 
Snarkey Lime Pie

Bad Burrito -- Hope your teeth are good.  I'm sticky (and challenging you). -- Chaffy 
Taffy

Bad Burrito -- Thanks for the learns and the win. -- Devious

Salt Water -- Same strategy with a different result.  Well fought! -- Tantrum

Captain Obvious -- I was as surprised as you were.  Wish I would have walked away with 
a little more in the way of learns. -- Misfortune

Emergency Room -- Kind of pathetic, having to put that bit of a down challenge in.  3-
2-0, 19 vs 0-1-0, 1?  Oh well.  What do they know? -- Trouble

Well, well, well. When you get here to Chimmytown, you little lovely wizard-in-
training Hogwarts Students, you are free game. Ha ha ha ha ha. -- Servants of The Dark 
Lord

Running late with the personals, but still running, staggering up to the Commission 
office at the last minute. -- Jorja
P.S.  Sorry, Fandil, but I may not get anything in to Ardivent today. But I did get 
the trash out!

Our congratulation to the Lord Protectors Hanzo and Ravaged and Colonel Klink. -- the 
Middle Way

Pi Chamaeleontis -- That's the first time I've ever seen a pie change colors: cherry 
red to blueberry blue.  Startling. -- Norison Rose

Snarkey Lime Pie -- Needs cool whip. -- Nellie Purr

Mammoth -- That fight was fit for cartoon presentation. -- Nearly Parker

Cockfight -- Good try.  And a skill for me! -- Cherry Pie
P.S.  Yes, Belinda, it matters who won.  I NEEDED that win.

Trouble -- It was no trouble at all.  Trust me on that. -- Victoria White
