DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Pudding Parade, dear boy, if you can't go longer than thirteen minutes, you're
going to bounce off the Bumper.
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 SUSHEE SU, who
flew up 10 points in the rankings after mashing YANKEE DAN like a melon. Keep your
eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. YANKEE
DAN was bested by SUSHEE SU and drops 10 points. It's a proud day for the COLOR ME
SUAVE stable, as their warrior, PUDDING PARADE, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.
Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the RODEKI arena. Did you
hear that CLOWNING AROUND was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of CLOWNING AROUND's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like
to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause COLOR ME SUAVE beats feet every time
CLOWNING AROUND smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this ANN ARTICHOKE you
ask, with 62 points and a 12-4-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
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
Guys and gal -- I plan on making a return here shortly, once I get this pesky layoff
from work taken care of. So when I do, I plan on showing Assurnameinsertedhere-
burpenheimerlongnameguy and Suave how to take care of business (never mind one of my
"best" being killed by a house stand-in). -- Flagg
Souple -- What kind of name for a warrior is that? You sound like some nerf game or
fast food lunch. -- El Rippoff
Souple -- Ignore El Rippoff. When he can't think of anything else to say, he resorts
to cheap insults. -- Harby
Fuzzy Buzzcut -- I like playing with golems, you know. Taking them apart. Sometimes
I even put them back together...differently. -- Ann Artichoke
Souffle Guffaw -- You didn't have to spray me with bits of egg and, I think, cheese,
when you laughed, you know. You could have been couth. It wouldn't have hurt
anything, not sprained a rib or twisted a gasket. You should TRY it sometime, being
couth. It might not be totally beyond your ability. -- John Rose
Areris -- Where did you come from? Wherever, go back there. -- Sushee Su

Assurnasirbanipal invites you to Talcama to participate in the third BATTLE
ROYAL contest. It is a Delarquan contest so brutal that even some of Talcama's most
notable managers will refuse to participate. The rules are simpler than any other
contest: You may not avoid any other contest team. There are no silly rules for who
can and can't compete. Any team in Talcama is eligible to compete. The scoring is
also quite simple (+1 for a win, +1 for a kill (+1 for the win), -1 for a loss) and
the first team to reach 25 points is the winner.
Scoring will be live--the results for the turn posted in the newsletter. The
winner will be able to fight their contest team in Talcama for free for 6 months but
more importantly will win a contest against some of the best managers who play the
game in one of the hardest contests in the game.
First turn for BATTLE ROYAL 3 is Talcama Turn 465, which is due August 30.
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.
