DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
M. Chardinee? That's IT? The only one who cared enough to duel for the throne
with me? Alas, what this fair city has fallen to! The dreaded peace-mongers have
been amongst us!

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 JEHU, who flew up
16 points in the rankings after mashing PEBBLES like a melon. Keep your eye on this
guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was PEBBLES, who dropped 8 points
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with JEHU. Going for the gusto and
coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was KATI-TEI's KHALHUMS DWARF, who was
turned away from the Duelmastership by FOOTSORE. 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. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were
votes, BETHANNE GRACE would be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't
want to win.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?'
category, BETHANNE GRACE was mashed by PENGUIN, who let BETHANNE GRACE know that
killing members of BIRDS is a no-no. 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 KATI-TEI have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it
(boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The
Unknown Spymaster

Fred -- Let that be a lesson to you. Next time you take a cab, tip generously. --
Jehu
Robin -- I'm all excited! A real opponent-- Oh...wait. A dead opponent. Oh,
cheese, Leeta's going to be so mad at me, and I didn't do it on purpose, honest! I
was aiming at your arm, and then you just ducked into the attack. Oh, cheese, I'm
really sorry about that. -- Bethanne Grace
Ostrich -- I was a little surprised. My understanding was that birds of your kind
have very hard shells. Still, it's a good thing I wasn't going for totally scrambled
eggs, wasn't it? -- Luretta
Roadrunner -- (frowning) I know y'all are big birds, but should you be THAT big? --
Tora Hamlin
P.S. Of course, what else can one expect from an attack cuckoo?
19 August 2003
Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari),
no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening.
While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City.
Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all
gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they
had masks, who cares.
Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in
Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by
those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the
same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many
years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by
pests.
Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own
little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except
to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you
choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs.
Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed.
Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents
will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target
those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home.
So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous
Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and
bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the
proud, the TOGS!

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
