SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, NIYTYOLE ISLAND? Ain't you never seen Snide
Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. I can just hear all the boasts
coming in THE SEWING CIRCLE's next personal ads. Their first turn they went 4-1-0.
Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see CHUBBY win a fight and gain 19 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, SAN JOSE beat VULTURE and VULTURE lost 8 points. You're
breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, NIYTYOLE ISLAND may be
getting bland, as SAMOA stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood
today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you,
NIYTYOLE ISLAND?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. THE WARBIRDS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you
were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And
it looks like SNOTZI'S II avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be
losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. We're all going to die in the end, so why
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Does anyone have a favorites potion or a style switch prize that they are willing to
part with? I'm willing to pay top dollar. If so contact me (Papaiz) at DM 26,
Warckers(362).

My name is ANKOS, a mad Frenchie. I just want to know if someone knows a French
manager who's already playing to DM? If yes, in which arenas? Thank for your
response. You can contact me by email at yraleh@usa.net

The correct phone number for the hotel for the Summer FTF is 1-803-771-7000. We
apologise for the error. The hotel only takes reservations on weekdays, so be sure to
call Mon.-Fri.

I have been putting together a pamphlet about Duelmasters. It is called "The
mousetrap" and is aimed primarily at less experienced managers, but I feel it has much
to offer everyone. It includes articles by such famous managers as Scrag, Doc
LeGrand, Neon Necromancer, Guardian, Shadow, and many others, and a wonderful
introduction by our beloved NAIMT. Heck, I even wrote a few articles. It will print
some time in March. To order send your name and street address with a check for
$10.00 made out to Tom Davis to: Tom Davis, 154 Agricultural Ave. Rehoboth MA 02769,
or via diplo to Flatlanders in DM 37 or 104. You can contact me by e-mail at
TDavis1753@aol.com. I am sorry I have to charge anything, but this is over 60 pages
of discussion by some of the best managers in the game for less than the price of a
turn. If I make back my investment, I will produce a follow-up next year. -- mouse,

Any Manager who created a team at the January FTF - You need to contact RSI and let us
know where you want to transfer that team. The arena (DM 81) in which they are in is
not an active arena, nor will it be; it is used solely to allow managers to get
overviews faster. If you wish to have a choice in where your team is placed please
contact us soon.

"The Duelist"
This is a (Non-RSI) Duelmasters handbook which represents years of data accumulation,
analysis, and experimentation by many managers. It also represents thousands of
dollars of investment into worthless warriors, teams, phone calls, and postage.
I've tried to compile everything I could about Duelmasters and put it in the handbook
with accurate explanations about the various charts. This is the most complete source
of information out on the game, as of yet. Everything is 'top of the line'
information on topics such as: hit-points, coordination, handedness, intelligence, wit
-statements, endurance, damage ability, encumbrance, quickness, activity, skill
charts, weapons & armor, along with various other things. This book will allow you to
"see" a warrior before you send his roll-up sheet off to RSI.
For the newer managers, after sifting through the 60 (sixty) pages, you will be able
to see the errors that many of us managers have made, create warriors based on skills,
and have the in-depth look inside the game of warrior design. For the older managers,
it is a time of reflection about the game, to see the book challenge your concepts
with writings from other experienced managers, and find out the degree of knowledge
that is currently known. Yet in all cases, this handbook should be able to fill the
gaps between the information that RSI has published, and the information you may have
already gathered.
I have most recently been to the Face-to-Face in Scottsdale, Arizona. I had a chance
to bring "The Duelist" to the attention of, in my opinion, some of the most
experienced managers of the game. Below are the managers, in order, that have seen the
handbook, and verified its contents as 'good information' for any manager to have,
especially any new manager:
Boss Rat - David Law - Dark Circle
Guardian - Steve McDonald - Dark Circle
Doc LeGrand - Deke young
Shadow - James Vance - League Arcane
Carapace - Joel Breger - NCA
Hoffa - Jim Patrick - Legion 7
Soultaker - Craig Mundale - FONZ
"many" - Wayne Smith - The Consortium
(Thank you, gentlemen, for taking up your own time at the FTF for going through my
handbook, and allowing me to use your names in the all-arena-add.)
This is how you can get "the Duelist": Please understand that this is not a means for
me to gain anything monetarily, nor is it sponsored in any way by RSI. My only benefit
is that I will have done all I can do to help keep this game alive, and hopefully by
evening out the battlefield, make it more enjoyable for everyone. I have been able to
reduce the costs of the handbook to $7 (seven dollars), which includes postage &
handling. Just send a check, or money order, payable to me, along with your name and
address, and I'll send you the handbook. I know that once you get your packet in the
mail, it will be the best seven dollars you have ever spent on this game.
