DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
This Khalhums Dwarf fellow too little for real fight, too big for bouncing ball.
Maybe I eat him.

SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in CLIFFHOME! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... I don't wanna hurt anybody's
feelings or anything, but FIRE DECK really goofed with their 0-0-0. MVP award for
MOSQUITO? JINDA-BAN's proud of her after beating PERSISTENT BEGGAR and getting 16
points. Talk about yer major upsets! ARTICULATE LORI's match with HELLO KITTY cost
her a loss of 4 points! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit
of...(!) Oh well, welcome SIR LICKSALOT. Aren't ARENA FELINES proud. (Oh, my.) Is
the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. Can
JINDA-BAN's HARANDUR be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is
that really the same?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All CLIFFHOME ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to
hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. CLIFFHOME is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Waldo -- To think that I should be challenged by an upstart named after a salad!
Pshaw! -- Harandur
Well, at least the Kung-Fu Master showed up to see me off. And I struck him several
times with my parries, which is always fun. -- Dingil Bill
Shotgun! (So Good) -- What? -- Ballou Ys
The Mordant Deserter isn't so bad, really. A little misguided, okay, and maybe not
quite so much backbone as a man should have, but I explained things to him, and he
should be much better now. -- Articulate Lori
Ilsvain, Arena Steward -- You're saying I have to dispose of a body? What the heck
would I do with a body? And isn't it disrespectful? Maybe even sacrilegious! --

HAMMER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Be it known from the highest mountains to the darkest alleys of Alastari that
the veteran manager known far and wide as Hammer has now officially retired from
sponsoring contests as of September 15, 2005.
What a long time ago was a fun motivated activity to help promote our common
DM/D2 gaming interest in an effort to promote the growth and competitiveness of
selected arenas has become a far from fun experience.
In other words Hammer has had it!
The combination of real life situations interfering with the time needed to
effectively sponsor a contest, plus the attitudes expressed during such sponsorship
interference has led to Hammer closing his personal coin coffers and retiring from
his planned sponsorship of any future contests.
There are others in our close knit gaming community who are well able to step up
to the plate and continue sponsoring contests that make the basic game a fun
experience for all those who choose to compete and interact in such future endeavors.
Hammer thanks all managers both active and inactive who helped to make the
Hammer sponsored contests a historical and entertaining experience well worth the
time, effort and money spent over the past several years.
May the Cheers and the Jeers of future contests build upon the legacies of those
who have paved the way in years gone by to help make this game what it is today.
Hammer has no regrets for the part he has played in that history.
