DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Today, the Kung-Fu Master fought only for me. I was touched, though not by his
blows.
Lorimina
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. KATI-TEI needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for SIR
HAMMER HAMMER? TEMPLARZ HAMMERZ's proud of him after beating SAD WINGS and getting
17 points. Talk about yer big time losers! TERRINDAR got smashed by GUNS OF
BRIXTON, and lost 9 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! LORIMINA
stopped VIRGINAL CONCUBINE dead in hers tracks! I hear the top team insists all
their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? BIRDS was KATI-TEI's most avoided team. Is there
some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are THE PLAGUE? BIRDS, an easy
team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can
WANDERERS' TERRINDAR be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is
that really the same?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All KATI-TEI 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 know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Break Stuff -- Did we ask? Are you just irrationally destructive, or do you signify
coffee and donuts for that crucial midmorning break? It could make a difference, you
know. -- Terrindar
Eyes that Burn -- Whatever you do, avoid those drops that assure you of "no more
red." Very hard on your eyes, those are. Less time in front of a radiant screen
would probably be a good idea. -- Rambling Ox
Sad Wings -- It seems so UNFAIR that you should win when the Commission says you're
deficient. I shall lodge a protest. -- Valarelle
P.S. I hope that helped.
Shifty-eyed Volunteer? Pfui. -- Stanloy Medar
P.S. The Commission says that I'm no more than ordinarily attractive but very
charismatic. Perhaps that means I'm impressively ugly? That might be cool.
Especially since I'm untrustworthy, too--I could be a serious villain here!
Reaper -- Alas, we both hoped too soon. But maybe the Hammers will return, if we
provide some really eye-catching nails? -- Jorja

Order of Lost Souls
Where there is a beginning, there is an end. Where there is a whole, there is a
part. Where there is light, there is dark. All these are found to be true and along
with the most important, when something is lost it can always be found.
Many a person has walked this land in one form or another. Some truly believe
that here is there and there is here but who really knows? Among the peoples of this
great land many have felt lost in time and in place. Some have gone as far as to be
lost of soul....
Although most are thought to have been born into this world in a mortal way, no
one can be sure. Life is something they have in a way but a torturous joke to them
in all others. They live in a sense as they are here and now and having mind and
knowledge. They are flesh and blood of one sort of another. They cast a shadow as
all things living do. Blood courses through their veins.
These beings have become wraiths drifting here and there, knowing that they
truly belong nowhere. Searching for that one thing that they seem to be missing or
the one thing in them that puts them beyond others. These people have become masters
of many things as time seems to have no hold. For not even time can find those that
are truly lost. Many of these beings have drifted toward the gladiatorial games. In
the blood and chaos of the arenas something holds them like no other. It's the loss
of something they have never had or something they had so long ago it seems to have
never been. LIFE.
A few of the more shall we say "human" of these beings have settled into many
arenas around the land. The loss of life and the crazed emotions of the arenas
giving them glimpses of things they longed for but seemed incapable of attaining.
A number of these lost ones saw in each other something that might be able to
help the other. They spent many a day traveling to and fro, for what is time to one
who it doesn't touch. The more time they spent together the more they seemed to
change. No one noticed the change in the others but each recognized it in himself.
Years passed and the changes stopped. Each had been changed in different ways but
all felt more whole. A discussion ensued between them. They came to a realization
that in each other they had found parts of themselves that had been missing. Then
came the next thought. If they could find more of like minded lost ones they might
eventually find what they always wanted, their true selves.
The group settled down to think things through. They finally came up with an
idea they all could accept. They would form an organization that through their
arenas through out the land they would seek out other lost ones. If they were of
like mind they would be invited to join the group and seek that special something
they all desired.
This was how it began and how it still is. The Order of Lost Souls was formed
and the search began. The original members numbered six. They were Baphomet,
Blackstorm, Hammer, JGW, Reaper and Wretch. These members of the Order spread their
gladiator stables through out the realm seeking others like them. Through blood and
death they lived through others. One day hoping to live for themselves. For as they
all know what is lost must eventually be found....

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.

ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
