DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm supposed to like the greatsword? Really I guess that's cool since I could
barely hold one of those things two weeks ago. They're huuuuge! Anyway, I don't
have much to say and Suave does, so... um... thanks for making me look so good. Here
I come, Talayha, ready to follow in the footsteps of the other losers from this team.
-- 1977 AMC Matador
One time bonus for managers who scan newsletters where they don't regularly run: easy
pickings in arena 100!
I've managed to manage a round robin's worth o' warriors here, so I'll do a quick
number recap and name explanation. The team is, after all, Color Me Suave
Jimby (SL): 11-10-6-17-15-14-11. Bard's tale character, right behind Shadowsinger.
Fuzzy Buzzcut (BA): 15-14-10-9-21-8-7. Had crew cuts until I was a teenager.
Snappy George (PR): 7-8-11-17-15-5-21. College nickname. Too many Jims in a room.
Cookie Snort (ST): 18-5-10-17-11-10-13. Bad Duelmasters F2F experience. Blame TUM.
Pork Chop Jukebox (PS): 11-13-4-21-9-15-11. Dunno. Seemed funny.
Sudsy Deodorant (AB): 9-10-10-15-14-5-21. Really hot day. Bubbly armpits. Hey!
That's another good name!
Swingdaddy-O (PL): 9-9-8-15-15-15-13. Got my wife swing dance lessons when we dated.
Pudding Parade (TP): 8-12-8-17-21-5-13. My improvisation comedy group.
Mr. Wrinkle-Free (LU): 9-7-12-13-21-7-15. Exactly what I'm not.I saw an iron once...
in a movie, I think.
1977 AMC Matador (WS): 9-9-16-15-20-4-11. My first car. Becker's Big Ol' Beast O'
Burden. Horrible machine.
and so I can start my second round robin:
Limpy Two-Screws (LU): 17-12-6-20-15-5-9. Motorcycle wreck in 1990. Two screws in
my left ankle as permanent souvenirs.
Miyagi's Miata (SL): 9-5-13-21-17-12-7. see Pork Chop Jukebox above.
Kangaroo Lifeboat improv game I created for the Parade.
Frankenbutt polyneidal cyst removal in 1995. You're welcome.
Third Base Spock Little league coach said I never had a sense of humor.
I just hated playing the hot corner.
Unless something tragic happens, I should have a PS, PL and BA within the next 15
turns or so. Step it up, folks. I'm managing over .600 and one of my few remaining
goals here is to run a 15-0 sweep. It'd help if TBS didn't keep losing to Khalhums
Dwarves. Eesh.

SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
RODEKI. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for FRANKENBUTT, who flew up 12 points in the rankings after
mashing THE MOLE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. OSTMAN lost to THIRD BASE SPOCK and drops 7
points. Our battling duelmaster 1977 AMC MATADOR has managed to hold the title,
fending off KHALHUMS DWARF's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time,
RODEKI. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at
that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the RODEKI arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid HIGHER PURPOSE, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does RODEKI really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling
your rasberries, cause COLOR ME SUAVE beats feet every time HIGHER PURPOSE smiles at
them. Try farming, eh? And who is this THE MOLE you ask, with 64 points and a
14-21-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Challenging down 17 points was
KANGAROO LIFEBOAT. Pretty soon he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.: The
only way to clean up' pins. Here is a definition of happiness: ARERIS beat KANGAROO
LIFEBOAT to go from 72 to 96 recognition points. RED SKELTON of CLOWNING AROUND had
better have a good reason for challenging down 13 points in a challenge which he won.
I thought RED SKELTON showed great skill and promise when he overcame HANDSOME DOES.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
