DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Howdy Folks, wasn't expecting to be sitting on this fine throne, although it is
something I could get used to. Tough break Claw, you were definitely a
handful. I will do my best to make this arena proud. Sure don't feel like I
should be here yet, what the heck, I'll take it. See you boys around.
Hopalong
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, NIATOLI ISLAND? Ain't you never seen Snide
Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see THE TUSKER win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, THE
TUSKER beat BEAR CREEK HAMMER and BEAR CREEK HAMMER lost 14 points. You're breakin'
my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as THE CLAW takes the Title
and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Don't Drop Inn,
humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From
NIATOLI ISLAND's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? KLKASINO HAMMERZ was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like SACKETT'S & CO. avoided them the
most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm
frightfully impressed, THE MONK was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that
ego swell, sports fans. TALON STORM was challenged by one of RAVAGING LORDS'
warriors this turn, with THE MANIAC having a lead of 23 points going into the fight.
Ha ha aha ha aha ha!!! THE MANIAC was was subdued by by STORM BRINGERS' warrior!
Thank the gods for big favors! ha! Now look at this. THE MONK challenged down 17
against STORM BRINGERS' DARK JOURNEY. What a weasel! This is the sort of thing that
makes the price of admission to NIATOLI ISLAND's games worth it! THE MONK was beat
by DARK JOURNEY!!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... HARE CREEK HAMMER, a
glorious 9-13-0 fighter, has passed away. Gee, too bad KLKASINO HAMMERZ. Honor is
like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will
doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the NIATOLI ISLAND arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of NIATOLI ISLAND. I feel much better now. I see the
crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.

ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
