DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Ugh. Greth no do well in tourney. Greth only go 4 and 3. Greth disappointed.
That was Greth last tourney before Greth go to ADM unless Greth die. Rillion say
Greth probably go to Isle place early. Rillion guess Greth get invite at 11 wins or
maybe 14 arena fights. Greth now have 'rating' in every area. It turns out Greth
bonused in Decise (+4). Greth happy about that.
Greth
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in ARVAT since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts
to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Some people say I ramble too
much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well FISHERMAN'S
WHARF moved up 1, to 5th. I'm sure ARVAT is excited about FURY, the new Duelmaster
from ANGELS OF PAIN. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have...
Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is
looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, DEVIL ADVOCATES! The bums at ANGELS OF PAIN couldn't face the challenges
from DEVIL ADVOCATES! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the
most challenged warrior, HERON! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt
you. Fighting is a better craft than farming, LOGGERHEAD, but you have to pay your
dues. Being challenged by DAMNATION, 17 points above you, is dues. Just who can
DAMNATION beat? I mean, the last matchup with lesser-ranked LOGGERHEAD shoulda been
a piece of cake! MIMOSA didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received
from ROLAND of RILL'S GCSC2, who is 21 points below him. ROLAND perhaps got his just
desserts, seeing as he subdued MIMOSA and ended up with 64 recognition points. I
hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that MISERY gets in. He
fights people like PHIFDEN, 10 points below. I thought MISERY showed great skill and
promise when he bested PHIFDEN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Warriors of ARVAT unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...--
Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Icelord -- It only applies to Arvat. It would be nice to have one "throwback" arena
that had the old time feel. A place where the focus is on how a team does in the
arena and not tournaments. Where warriors are not sitting idle waiting for a
tournament instead of competing on the sands. Where managers make an effort to talk
a little trash in the newsletter and people can clash on the arena sands to back up
their trash talk or get revenge for a comment. I am not delusional enough to think
that every arena can be like that, but we have a decent core group of managers here
in Arvat that seem to be willing to fight all five come what may. It would be nice
to build on that and see if we can't get more people to come here and do the same. --
Rillion
Destitute N. -- Buh-bye! -- The Icelord
Just Desserts -- Buh-bye! -- The Icelord
Damnation -- (reeling back in shock) I taught you all that? I didn't even know I
knew it! -- Loggerhead
Demetren -- Fans are very strange, are they not? To call out "you can do it," when
you have just demonstrated that today, you cannot. Ah, well, another time. -- Heron
Gelen -- Good point. Let's test it. -- Sarlow
Sarlow -- I doubt it. I don't think attacking your teammates will do me any good.
But I will give it a try! -- Gelen
Mimosa -- Guess you can take me out pretty easily when you are prepared for me. --
Roland
Eve -- Well done. -- Demmell
Heron -- Wow, that is embarrassing. -- Demetren

To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.

All -- I've seen what's on the forum. So I'm prey, am I, Max. You and all your
devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay. I don't have to
explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on. Feel free to come over
to 31 for a thrashing. Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance. They tend to
share my sentiments about the VC. If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at
liberty to talk for them. The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm
