DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Notes from the champ's manager
Bit of a strange bird, this one. It's probably the first warrior I graduate
that I really don't know all that much about, or have taken that great an interest in
throughout his advancement through the ranks.
When I first designed him I almost sent him to the DA right away, but thought
that with the stats 13-6-13-11-21-11-10 I should at least give him a chance on
account of the 21 WL, and that if he won, I'd keep running him. Well, he matched up
extremely well to the warriors that he initially shared brackets with, and slowly
built up the rather impressive record of 12-1-0. At that point mediocrity and
opponents that matched up better caught up with him, and he's gone 50 percent ever
since. Of course, once he had made it to 13 fights I thought that I might as well
graduate him, and here he is.
Turns out he has pretty nice faves: VH/Low, Scimitar, favoring attack skills. I
don't think I ever used anything BUT the scimitar with him, so kudos to myself on so
skillfully picking that one out. He'll graduate with only an Adex Att, and an Exp
Init, so he'd probably be bait in ADM. My initial thought is to retire him after
graduation, but who knows? Perhaps I'll give him a shot to prove his worth? Worked
out well for him last time.
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! Say
good-bye to URBAN JUNGLE, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the
BAD GUYS stable. It looks like the guys(?) at CHILDREN OF LLYR had a good week as
they went 4-1-0 to put them in 2nd place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody,
watch out for MAIRE MCANGUS, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing
VETERAN MERCENARY like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. ST MAGDALENE was bested by ICICLE and drops 2
points. What does the Duelmaster and Piltdown Man have in common? They are both the
most challenged apes in human history! Heyheyhey! FARTIOR got through to the
Duelmaster this turn. No doubt she was more than anxious to kick FROSTBITE's tail
out of the throne! Our battling duelmaster FROSTBITE has managed to hold the title,
fending off FARTIOR's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, ON THE ROCKS.
Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad ON THE ROCKS? Big bad ON THE
ROCKS. Big bad ON THE ROCKS. MURSKA's afraid of the big bad ON THE ROCKS. Tra la
la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause BAD
GUYS beats feet every time ON THE ROCKS smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Getting
lots of flowers from sympathetic fans was TAMRA KAI, who was successfully challenged
by LUCY JORDAN who had a mere 23 points more than TAMRA KAI. Well LUCY JORDAN, just
can't get an easy fight anymore can you? You thought challenging down 23 points to
TAMRA KAI would be fun. Right? Wrong!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Kailie -- I just LOVE messing around with beautiful girls. I do! Know what I mean?
(wink) This time I sent The Joker out to substitute for me while I am in Tempe
checking out the Az Gals. Nice! -- Ted Bundy
Persistent beggar -- You should not have said my name, Bud! -- Voldemort
Sazerac -- Nine in my last two! THANKS! I, on the other hand, hope I DO run into
you in the tournament. -- Grinch
Jorja and Children -- Your new goal is to graduate a 3 CN, 3 WL triple 21 Aimer to
the Isle out of Murska. Good luck. I may just have The Bad Guys stick around to see
what they can do to spoil your quest. (wink) -- Mr. Bad Guy
Grinch -- Why are stalkers always terrible teachers? -- Sazerac
Too obsessed?
Modranect -- Guess that was a little unfair, but it felt really good. You can be
glad I didn't bring out my fave weapon, the morning star. -- Orion
Lucy Jordan -- While I was standing there, waiting for you to drop, I glanced around
the arena. Do you know what I saw? It was pity. The spectators pitied us. I think
they want to see us graduate already. What do you say? Time to go? -- Fartior
P.S.. Thanks for the parry skills. Haven\'t learned any of those in half a year.
Jugger -- Geez, you didn't leave many awards for the rest of us. -- Bartender
Maire McAngus -- That rating will come in handy. Thank you! -- St Magdalene
No fair! Sent to the Dark Arena without getting a shot in the arena. I have a
feeling I have survived the Dark Arena, though. In your face, Bartender! -- Mortlach
Frostbite -- Congrats on the throne and the invite. Now, leave the throne to the
team it belongs. -- Fartior and On the Rocks
Bartender -- Sending in the big guns, eh? How 'bout you let one of your other guys
try? -- Modranect
Fartior -- This is getting tad tiresome. -- Lucy Jordan
Orion -- What's keeping me? Your scummy stablemate for one. -- Lucy Jordan
Duelmaster, eh? Wasn't expecting that, nor the invite. Probably a one way ticket
into retirement for me though. Anyone hiring? -- Frostbite
Frostbite -- You make it hard to keep a grip on my weapons. -- Brendal
Icicle -- What is it with you Urban Junglites? Winter is OVER. We've got full-on
spring here now. -- Tamra Kai
St Magdalene -- Guys talk about how wonderful saints are, but, you know, they don't
want to take them on dates. You need to get an alternate identity. -- Maire McAngus
The Joker -- You are such a bad guy! -- Kailie Rhinn
And a Kung-Fu Master to round out our day. Could be worse. -- Harec O'Kai
Fartior -- Luck and maybe a little judicious bribery. -- Brendal
Our congratulations to Frostbite. -- Jorja and the Children of Llyr
