Notes from the arena champ.
Nhavarl, good show, buddy, but as always no cigar, maybe next time. I have a
challenge to make if I don't graduate this time. Noachian, I am calling you out of
hiding. I will not tolerate you being a coward, so come out and fight. I know that
you are back; my master Youngblood saw you in Zuwayza. Anyway, to the rest of you, I
want a new challenger to come forward and I haven't forgotten about you,
Swordbreaker. You are mine as well as soon as you get in range, if that ever
happens. If not, I am sure that Silver Belle will take care of you for me. Good
luck to you all this turn.
Sungod Designed Me
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
VEASTIAN. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! We
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. WENSINWASIN now holds the
crown and they are betting they can keep it. It looks like the guys(?) at
WIDOWMAKERS had a good week as they went 3-1-0 to put them in 3rd place. I guess
steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for FLESHRENDER, who flew up 20 points in
the rankings after mashing RAYEK like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was RAYEK, who dropped 16 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with FLESHRENDER. Going for the gusto and
coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was WIDOWMAKERS' FACE BREAKER, who was
turned away from the Duelmastership by SUNGOD DESIGNED ME. Advice to bashers--never
force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad WENSINWASIN? Big bad WENSINWASIN. Big bad WENSINWASIN. VEASTIAN's afraid
of the big bad WENSINWASIN. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch
WOLF RIDERS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from
WENSINWASIN. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, SWORDBREAKER would be
president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Here's some advice: warriors with little
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
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. Its been
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Soultender -- So where is that replacement for Foecrusher. I was just wondering;
even though I do not run a full team here all the time, I hate to see an incomplete
team here because of me. Oh, and one more thing, when are you going to give me my
rematch against Swordbreaker. I have to avenge my loss to him, but don't worry, if
Sungod Designed Me doesn't get it, I'll just come after you with the rest of
Wensinwasin. And if you were wondering, I am still a little sore about that loss.
SDM still has the scar on his chest where you landed the one and only blow you hit
him with and he vows to avenge it with your defeat. -- Youngblood, Wensinwasin, the
FIRM
Sungod Designed Me -- What'd be the point in avoiding you? Who else is there to
fight? -- Nhavarl
P.S. But I bet I could throw you for a loop if I got a strategy change. Not that
it's likely to happen.
Lifetaker -- Not mine, you don't! -- Carline
Inzolas -- Well, darn. I was trying so hard not to step on you, young fella, that I
plain forgot to fight. -- Stiltz
Winter Witch -- (sly smile) But it's not winter, you see. That puts you at a
serious disadvantage. -- Tiro Cococo
Space Baboon -- (recoiling) I don't do monkeys! -- Tiro Cuckoo
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.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the
proud, the TOGS!

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
