DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Whoa, I didn't notice my name on the front page! What happened? Why did this
hot-shot Mandolin Wind fail to take the title? Could it be... the rain messing up
his tuning?
Evindal
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
MURSKA. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for MAIRE MCANGUS, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after
mashing THE USEROUS MERCHANT like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling
like a basher in the top ten was SLOWGO, who dropped 9 points after a disappointing
(to say the least) bout with VENOMOUS CONCUBINE. It's a proud day for the URBAN
JUNGLE stable, as their warrior, MANDOLIN WIND, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. 4
out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that
location.
Here is other news that is of note.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the MURSKA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can
pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Frostbite -- Yeah, I know, I'm supposed to write a "substantial" personal. I just
don't feel one today. Sorry. Sorta sorry. -- Tamra Kai
Modranect -- We've got a debate going in our guildhouse, and you could settle it: Is
your name that of a postmodern art style, or an antidepressant? -- Maire McAngus
P.S. Sorry, I just now realized that I "killed" you. I was reading off the wrong
page and thought you were just "not liking hospitals" (who does?). Sorry about that.
I wouldn't've minded killing a Userous Merchant, because there are always more where
they come from, but managed gladiators... eh.
Why does the Userous Merchant fight? Even when he puts on a good show, he doesn't
endear himself to the fans. -- Harec O'Kai
P.S. And that, right there, is the best argument for the presence of rudimentary
intelligence in fans that I've heard in weeks.
The Fratsfa Slave is pathetic, but we knew that. -- Brendal
