DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Look, I don't think I should have to write one of these anyway. Seems like a
penalty to the duelmaster. Plus, I have now been here nine times. Nine penalties
for winning? That sucks! I've just about had it with this stupid concept. One last
time will I write. You hear?
I am the best of the best on a pretty fine team. Just look at that 79% record
we have! This is why:
ST - 5,11,13,13,19
CN - 6,11,15,16,19
SZ - 7,10,10,15,16
WT - 3, 5, 7,13,17
WL - 9,11,15,18,19
SP - 8, 9,12,14,21
DF - 7, 7, 7,12,20
Enough is that--we are just GOOD! And it ain't the management.
Smirk, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for DEELA ELLIS, who
flew up 16 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.
RENNOR SIMM was bested by SNEAK and drops 13 points. Going for the gusto and coming
up with aught but bloody knuckles was THE MIDDLE WAY's OPARA PERSI, who was turned
away from the Duelmastership by SMIRK. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an
onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid THE MIDDLE WAY, please raise you
hand. Wow. Does XOCHITHLAN really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be
funny, but catch CHEAP SHOTS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly
deft at running from THE MIDDLE WAY. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes,
IGNORE would be president. Although it may be a contest it doesn't want to win. In
a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, PONY went after STINKY PETE, who was
higher by 19 points. Well, when the dust settled, PONY was subdued by STINKY PETE.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! 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. 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
Nakor -- I win; you lose. Simple, eh? -- Smirk
Opara -- What Smirk said. Heh, heh. Just keep on ignoring it. Yep. -- Ignore
Mori -- That didn't take very long, did it? -- Shrug
Smirk, Ignore, Shrug, Sneak, Eye Raise -- It is time to renegotiate new contracts.
Here are the proposed cuts in salary. Feel free to negotiate lower. -- Cheap Shots
Management
Deela Ellis -- Stepped on the chocolates, burned the book, and killed the minstrel.
See ya soon. -- Pony
Rennor Simm -- Could you be any more blind?
Xyokox Yahl -- *bronx raspberry* -- Niln
*please don't write so stylized, it makes it difficult to decipher the letters.
-- NAIEI
If it weren't for that insufferable personality, I'd vote we thank Smirk for sparing
us the effort of writing a column. As it is...I don't think I would thank that
wretched golem for standing in front of me and taking a meteorite strike. -- Opara
Persi
And if anyone thinks I'm going to waste my time writing a personal to that idiot
Ignore...! Of many worthless things, a neutered Orc ranks high on the list. -- Opara
Persi
P.S. Although making Popularity Leader on a scum-sympathy vote was fine, and a
suitable cock of the snook.
Watching that Shrug was so funny! Not that I think an off-the-shoulder tunic was
appropriate on the sands, but its efforts to get it back ON its shoulders were, well,
I had to laugh! To the detriment of my fighting efforts, but gods, it looked like
it had ants in its tunic! Would've been more interesting yet with gender, of course,
but we can't have everything. Unfortunately. -- Mori Neb
Mrs. Potatoe Head -- Better watch out, or you'll find yourself sliced and fried!
That would be bad, very fattening. Avoid it, yes? -- Deela Ellis
Rirorni Janissary? Who's been setting THAT up? I can't say that the concept appeals
to me at ALL. Can we kill them off? Although it might be better to find the
pernicious person instituting the program and kill HIM off. -- Rennor Simm
P.S. Would that be...what, King Feyen of the cheesy mustache? I wouldn't trust
anyone who decorates his face with something like that!
Talon -- Not your best match, but you survived it, so that has to count on the
positive side. But why aren't you sucking up the skills? -- Xyokor Yahl
