DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I tip my hat to you, Sazerac. It was a good challenge and a good fight. And
now I'm gone, and that's good, too. Details on request.
Maire McAngus
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for FROZEN IMAGE, who flew up 23 points in
the rankings after mashing KEEGAN GALL like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast.
And falling like a basher in the top ten was BANFF, who dropped 19 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with AXAZOH. Drawing on all of his experience
as a 12-9-1 warrior, SAZERAC went for the Duelmastership against MAIRE MCANGUS this
week. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was ON THE
ROCKS' SAZERAC, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by MAIRE MCANGUS. An
apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that PHILANTHROPISTS was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of PHILANTHROPISTS'
warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause ON THE ROCKS beats feet every time PHILANTHROPISTS smiles at them.
Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of ABEL BROWN, who was this
week's most challenged warrior. Was it guts or an overtaxed mental capacity that had
ICICLE challenge up 32 points in the rankings to take on TAMRA KAI? Trading many
whacks on the head and a loss for 3 recognition points, ICICLE shows that a beast
doesn't have to be good to get places. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior,
LORD SNOW went after ABEL BROWN, who was higher by 22 points. Well, when the dust
settled, LORD SNOW bested ABEL BROWN.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! STARGAZER defied all odds and slew SPYMASTER in the Dark
Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as SPYMASTER's meat is
notoriously tough. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a
very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real, and its been fun,
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Sorry about not being active in the newsletter lately. I have been busy
moving back into the city and it has been both cumbersome and time consuming.
Hopefully, I will be able to find more time to post ads and columns from now on. --
Bartender
Do your best, we can't ask more than that.
Stargazer -- I feel like I'm picking on you but you're a fun target practice.
Congratulations on your graduation. Perhaps, come winter, we'll cross swords again
in the Freshman tournament. -- Scapa
Maire McAngus -- You're like green cryptonite to me, my manager says. Don't know
what it means but he's always making these unalastarian references. Glad to see
you're off to the Isle. -- Sazerac
Tamra Kai -- I miss one turn and when I get back you've turned into some superhuman
beast. Unfair! Especially since I quit improving a long time ago. But I will
reclaim the style master title somehow. It belongs to me! -- St Magdalene
Kailie Rhinn -- Oops, sorry about the down-challenge. Must've been some old
challenge that was reposted for some reason. Glad to see that you're alive and well,
though. -- Banff
Fratsfa Slave -- Well, I guess none of us is too happy about that match-up. -- Oban
Urban Jungle -- 1-12! Really?!? >;) -- On the Rocks
Abel Brown -- I feel you man! 7-3 sucks! -- Oban
Aragorn -- Congratulations on Ale'chai's TV! -- Bartender
St Magdalene -- I couldn't remember whose turn it was to win, so I figured with you
being a saint and all, you'd be more patient than I would with a loss. -- Tamra Kai
Banff -- Ouch, those rocks are HARD. -- Kailie Rhinn
Second Wind -- Huh, you didn't give me a chance to get mine! -- Tarran O'Harec
Thieves. Bah. -- Keegan Gall
Congratulations to Stargazer. -- Jorja and the Children of Llyr
We salute the tourney participants, with special note to Ale'chai Tallsky, tourney
victor in Eligibles. -- Jorja and the Children of Llyr
