DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Listen, Q*bert, you've got to stop losing like this! I don't belong in such an
exposed position. It makes me nervous. Inconspicuous (but alive, your five kills
are scary) is the route for me.
I think. I'm sure about the "alive" part, though.
Balin
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of MURSKA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. CULANN COONTZ caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested THE USEROUS MERCHANT and was
awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BRENNA
put down THE SICILIAN, causing him to lose 2 points of recognition in the process.
Although JUNGLE KING made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious BALIN. Would you believe that over half of the old women in MURSKA seem
to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In MURSKA "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! MURSKA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is CHILDREN OF LLYR, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent
the better part of last week avoiding CHILDREN OF LLYR. Indeed it was THE GODS ARE
ANGRY.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Some guilds are strict but few are as
heartless as THE BEARS. Witness, last turn they sent THE ONE, a 6-2-2 fighter, to
the Dark Arena! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is
sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in MURSKA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Tourney Scum -- Euwh! The scum is disgusting stuff, almost impossible to wash off my
armor. Next time, don't embrace me at the end of the fight. Being buried in the
sand would be cleaner. -- Bildis
Tiberius -- So, what did you DO to make the gods so VERY angry that they'd shrink a
Shew to less than five and a half feet tall? It must've been a doozy! -- Aidan o'Kai
An Embezzling Scribe? Cheese, that's no work for a warrior. -- Culann Coontz
Stupid beggar. -- Brenna
24 January 2007
The Council of Lords would like to propose a rule change in ADM and Primus. We
propose that Lord Protectors ranked "Grand Champions" and below (ADM) and "The Tower
Guard" and below (Primus) be allowed to fight in the Dark Arena. This would not
impact the top rankings or title match. Any managers who never got his fill or shot
at fighting Gateway monsters would have it as an option. We believe it might spark
some interest in the ADM/Primus realm for some managers. If interested, speak up in
the newsletters or on forums under the "rules changes" thread and let RSI know. This
could even be something to try for 12 months and then be re-evaluated. What say you,
managers of Ghea? -- The Icelord sends....
