DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Making me write a column is just a joke! I fight (and win) not write. Women's
work! You can be guaranteed that writing DM Columns will NOT be in the next UAW
contract. What a joke!
Management has no idea what it is doing, and is sending all our jobs overseas
anyway. What a bunch of jerks! No loyalty. All they care about is their bonus and
stock options. Up theirs!

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 BELLE COR, who flew up 16 points in the
rankings after mashing RIRORNI OFFICER like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was MANN SLAUGHTER, who dropped 7 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with ENEMY ARCHER. Unlike most arenas, SKULK
managed to get its challenge off against the 17-13-1 KAHR, JACK. Well, everybody's
pal SKULK moved its record to 12-0-0 by defeating KAHR, JACK in the Duelmaster's
Title Bout and gaining 11 recognition points. 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. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid DUCKS UNLIMITED, please raise you hand. Wow. Does XOCHITHLAN really have that
many liars? For those of you who like math, try this one: DUCKS UNLIMITED + Weapons
That go Boom = CHEAP SHOTS + Avoid City. Well just about everybody wants a piece of
QUIA RAYNE, who was this week's most challenged warrior. CHUCKLE of CHEAP SHOTS had
better have a good reason for challenging down 12 points in a challenge which it won.
I thought CHUCKLE showed great skill and promise when it beat QUIA RAYNE. All right,
so I slept through it! Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in XOCHITHLAN have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Mat Riside -- You loser; I came; I saw; I conquered. What's new? Phbbbbbt! -- Skulk
Really. We ARE trying to convince each warrior to fight regularly. But the UAW
(United Arena Warriors) is intervening and they do have contractual rights. Running
this "company" is not easy. -- Cheap Shot Upper Management
Hmm, turn two-two-two. This might be significant, if only we could figure out how?
Kahr, Jack -- It says here that you're an elf. I know elves are sneaky and
underhanded, goes with the pointed ears, but carriage theft? It seems so...odd. I
didn't think elves even USED carriages. -- Quia Rayne
Ms D. Meener -- Dammit, don't DO that! I hate being disoriented. It's confusing,
and I don't do confusion well at all. -- Opara Persi (probably)
The Rirorni Janissary is an idiot, but then, we knew that. It's the celibacy thing.
-- Mori Neb
Pony -- Aha! I wondered if the arenamaster would step in, and he DID. What IS it
with him and the sand? You'd think he bought every grain personally, heck, SELECTED
every grain personally, and was out here every hour on the hour smoothing it down.
It's probably some sort of complex leading to an eventual disintegration of his
personality. -- Belle Cor
P.S. Good work, kicking him when he got close to you.
Hidden Archers? What is this, the infiltration of the Rirorni Insurgents? That
Hidden Archer--I think I glimpsed him dodging around in the stands--must and shall
die, and SOON. At least, if *I* have anything to do about it. -- Wendal Xoki
Smirk -- (snicker) -- Quia Rayne
Chuckle -- This is true, and we Venusians are totally superior. -- Quia Rayne
Dog Soldiers II -- So avoid me. I fight whoever I get matched with. -- Wendal Xoki
P.S. If you can't tell the difference between "picking on" and "random match,"
you've got serious problems.

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
