DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Nobody fought anything but standbys last time, and Leeta is annoyed and
disgusted. She says we're wasting our time, which is our business, but we're also
wasting hers, and that is her business, and she doesn't like it. And I said that she
told us to fight, so we fought whoever the Commission picked, and she'll just have to
live with it--but that she should remember that WE might have to die with it. As you
can imagine, we both walked away from that discussion in a bad mood. But there are
days like that, and have you have to get through those days to get to the good ones.

SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! WANDERERS had cause to celebrate, after CHOCK got 21 points by beating
TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE. KHALHUMS DWARF found out that KATI-TEI isn't a democracy.
You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in KATI-TEI is
taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
And how sociable are KATI-TEI's warriors? Come, let us see.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the
arena. A certain tavern in KATI-TEI would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in KATI-TEI is the highlight of my life. As the
seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to
leave this place. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Arenamaster Jailon -- Are the swords, rings, or whatnot being offered guaranteed not
to be cursed? -- Lurline Grace
Lurline Grace -- I hope you appreciate that I was willing to send you off with a
skill. It isn't every day that I expose myself to harm in order to give someone a
skill, you know. One does not live to become a veteran by taking heedless risks. --
Hishandis, Veteran Mercenary
Flutterlee -- You will have to do the column, as I have no time for that. My
teaching duties are heavy. -- Godrim, Master of Kung-Fu
Saturn -- You are incredibly tedious, and I wonder that your manager has not disowned
you! -- Haegdur of Khalhums
Parnian -- Wretched youth! You were not paying attention, and it is impossible, even
for me, to teach a skill to someone who is not paying attention. -- Godrim, Master of
Kung-Fu
P.S. Do not focus on the win, that is incidental. Superficial fluff. The skill is
the thing.
Wherefour Willy -- Ah! I could well ask! Or whyfor? Why did you not give me money?
I was polite. -- Loomis, the most polite of beggars
The Shocker -- Ah. You think that merely because we are barred from issuing
challenges, you can kill a member of the Cult of Tregist with impunity? Not so!
Tremble with fear, foul murderer. Surround yourself with candles all night to keep
out the darkness. It will not avail you! We are patient, and our arm is long. --
Spokescultist of Tregist
Just out of curiosity, if I made a donation, would you go and buy another arm
for the cult? One to be shared amongst so many seems a bit awkward. -- Ed.

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.
19 September 2005
I'd like to say hello to everyone I know that is still around after my being gone for
five years. Hope to see you all on the sands, and may your weapons strike true and
your shields protect you (except, of course, against MY warriors *grin*)!! -- Lord
Xiang, D2-101
5 October 2005
To those once of Willaf -- It's time to come back to the sands. I'm back,
exclusively at Willaf.... -- Kurd the Vivisectionist, Your Better
