DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Rodeki --
Sorry about not stepping up to the microphone before, but I've never been too vocal.
When your karaoke machine can't play more than pig parts, it's a little hard to sing
along. But as they're kicking me out of Rodeki after next turn, I thought I'd yab a
moment.
Constance, why'd you have to go and do that to Virtual Suave Again? Sure, blame the
infirmary. Little newsflash for you: he'd never have gone to the infirmary if you
didn't stab him first. Some people have no manners at all. I don't know who Suave's
sending after you or how many turns he can try to hunt you down. I guess it depends
on if you get the throne this turn. Speaking of which, how many turns has a Color Me
Suave warrior held this post consecutively? I seem to remember a turn when we tied
ourselves and left the seat empty. Other than that, how long's it been since anyone
else has sat up here? Harby? Any ideas?
-- Pork Chop Jukebox
Now I'm down to five styles to graduate from this team. Would've been four if not
for Flagg's Foible. Guess who's stable is soon to be filled with bashers? Nuts.
Flagg, you asked how I ran VMA a long time ago. 6-3-6 open, 6's in desperation. He
seemed to like it. I'd have liked it more if he learned more than 31 skills in 40
fights. That's what, 0.75/fight? Seems a little low for a 13 WT. Ah well. He
ain't coming back anytime soon. Guess I'll have to revirtualize myself AGAIN. Nuts.
-- Suave
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 DRAXUS BREMOORE,
who flew up 16 points in the rankings after mashing M. CHARDINEE like a melon. Keep
your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.
ANN ARTICHOKE was beat by GATE WITCH and drops 11 points. Going for the gusto and
coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was RODEKI's KHALHUMS DWARF, who was turned
away from the Duelmastership by PORK CHOP JUKEBOX. Can you believe they are paying
me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that COLOR ME SUAVE was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of COLOR ME SUAVE's warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not
be funny, but catch STRANGER BREW's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be
fairly deft at running from COLOR ME SUAVE. And who is this RUBBER BUMPER you ask,
with 64 points and a 15-18-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Was it guts or an
overtaxed mental capacity that had YANKEE DAN challenge up 30 points in the rankings
to take on SPIKE MARTINI? To the crowd's chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo bo-zo', SPIKE
MARTINI was taken out by the lower-ranked YANKEE DAN. (Maybe it's time to think Dark
Arena?).
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Congrats to PUDDING PARADE for revenging the death of his
teammate (but more importantly, feeding STERLING a bit of dirt). Knowing when to use
the right tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to
Duelmaster.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in RODEKI 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

PERSONAL ADS
John Rose -- Tsk, tsk. Perhaps the Arenamaster was just bored with your performance?
-- Gate Witch 3953
Stranger -- Welcome back! Hey, do you still have your old fights? I'm trying to
find anyone with copies vs. my old stable, Flagg 16, or the original cronies of my
current stable. -- Flagg
Acropolis -- Did you TV or TC the FtF? I'd look on the net, but I'm sans home
computer for now. -- Flagg
Suave -- Ya know, I'm trying my darndest to break your stranglehold on the top spot.
-- Flagg
Harby -- That's the one. I'll be running Flagg's Finest, a really fine crew of
warriors. Almost too good for me, almost. -- Flagg
P.S. Oh yeah, I care.
Sushee Su -- I'm sorry, it was me. -- Draxus
VMA -- You need to keep losing; kinda like the way The Wicker King is losing in
Darkholm. We all liked you better when you were a loser. Made me wanna give ya a
hug. -- Flagg
With an offer like that, how can he refuse? -- Temp Ed.
All -- Check out my new title! -- Flagg, Quartermaster General of the Crimson
Ascension Alliance
P.S. First time I've ever been in an alliance.
Backstreet Brawler -- Now isn't that embarrassing. -- Problematic
P.S. You had no business learning that many skills with your wit. I feel dirty.
Harby -- Sorry! I thought my personals from turn 404 were going to show up on turn
405. Hmmm...this is turn 406 now, right? -- Flagg
For some peculiar reason, they ended up in Chimlevtal four weeks ago. Life is
very strange, and Hal is stranger. -- Temp Ed.
Stormy Daze -- (giggle) Can I make you hurt again? -- Problematic
Spike Martini -- No, there's only one of us...er, me. You're just seeing double!
Hee hee.... -- Gate Witch Sisters
Cookie Snort -- Well that was interesting. Maybe I actually fight better when Flagg
does pay attention! Probably just got lucky. -- Sterling
Bumper -- (pouting) Could you have at least dropped a weapon? -- Draxus
All -- My tourney went like this: 13 warriors, 31-39-1, two deaths and best record
at 7-3, Doone (my best in ADM) died at 3-2. I actually thought before hand he would
TV. I even had a small glint of hope that he would TC. -- Flagg
P.S. Next tourney he should be my first eligibles class fighter.
Flagg -- Found some of your personals from two turns back, I guess, in Chimlevtal. I
don't remember what we were talking about that long ago, but I probably agree with
you on about half of it. -- Harby
Draxus Bremoore -- It's amazing the variations I can put on your name simply by not
wearing my glasses. But I didn't need my glasses to see the masterful way you
bounced off the Bumper and came back to attack again. Well done. -- Harby
P.S. Ignore the furious cries of derision from the crowd. What do they know?
Shpike Martini -- (reeling a little) That wash good shtuff. -- Shushee Shu
Willa Vanilla -- You're much too wholesome for the arena, dear. Not even French
vanilla.... -- Ann Artichoke
P.S. Artichokes are subtle.
These Cult Members are dangerous. They should be suppressed. -- John Rose
Yankee Dan -- Nobody told me I was going to have to fight for thirteen minutes!
That's a ripoff! -- El Rippoff
P.S. Or maybe it's an imposition, these fine distinctions sometimes escape me.
Harby -- Honestly! I have been writing personal ads for 3 of the last 4 turns!
Hmmmmm...wonder if that's a hint from the editors that my handwriting is too sloppy.
-- Flagg
Ghost of VMA -- My only consolation is that you died in the infirmary. -- Sterling
Stranger -- You are humbling me, my friend. -- Flagg
Suave -- Just as long as I can avoid Ivy's Acropolis, I should be gunning for your
awards, that you've been hoarding! -- Flagg
Pudding Parade -- Slug? You call me a slug? One should not throw stones while
living in a glass house. -- Stormy Dayze
Gate Witch -- Short and sweet. Just the way I like it. -- Crazy Dayze
Sushee Su -- I shurtainly hope you were not too badly injured, shweetie. -- Spike
Martini
Gate Witch (the other) -- How did you like my smooth moves? -- Backstreet Brawler
Ann Artichoke -- We meet again. And I still learn from you. Thank you so much. --
