DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Win and I'm out? I'm confident the statement is "Win and you're in." That's
how it works with the playoffs. Besides, out doesn't rhyme--Johnny Cochran wouldn't
even say it. Why should I be punished for winning once more? It hardly seems fair.
On the flipside, it's unpleasant hanging out with J.J. and the two newbies. They're
awful! All of them! Maybe I'll find better luck at the Isle than the lungers before
me. Or maybe I'll pull a Deeply Meaningless and die.
I'm trying to bloodfeud again as I don't particularly want to fight Rockjaw.
Patch, you killed the my one teammate with any potential. Probably unfulfilled, but
potential nonetheless.
JE, you're running here for real now? Sentinel? Or is Rodeki merely the latest
training grounds for tourney babies?
See you on the sands, but not much longer.
-- Four of Spades
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RODEKI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. QUICK DEAD HAMMER caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested HAT JIM and was awarded 14
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, JOHN WAYNE HAMMER
put down GUARANTEED PICKLE, causing it to lose 5 points of recognition in the
process. Although ROCKJAW made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the
reign of victorious FOUR OF SPADES. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the
top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city RODEKI.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears
arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in RODEKI as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed
a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms
no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

I'm hoping the D2Column came out all right. It was massively infested with HTML
and I had to try and pick out the text. -- Ed.
Jockstrap Jones -- You again! Shucks. -- Fredibar
Road Man -- With five skills, you're supposed to take a loss, not a win. I'm sure
that was in the rules. Uh, somewhere. -- Rocksock
(recoiling) The Chardinee here is an ORC? That's horrible. -- Handsome Does
At least the Khalhums Dwarf IS a dwarf, although we've got better ones here in
Rodeki. Why important one from Khalhums? -- Rockjaw
Gadget -- I never did trust your kind, and I was wise to do so. Or not to do so, as
the case might be. -- Leafcutter Beal
Chip -- I practice. -- Rocksock

The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start! With seventeen teams
declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non-
Olympic teams present), it is looking to be as tough as any previous Olympiad, if not
more! Olympians petitioned the Commission to make an allowance for late entries, and
the Commission agreed, and will allow new entrants to partake, as long as they are
active by Round 3 (T546, due May 29th). So if you wish to enter, please email your
intentions to amicitia@gwi.net with team name, manager name, and affiliation
(alliance name or independent), or show up in Mordant (DM-1) on, or before, May 29th
and place your declarations in the newsletter!

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood

This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
