DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Whew! I have been in this arena for a VERY long time. The bossman says that it is time
to make a move. I'm either going up to the Isle, or I'm going down to the Dark Arena.
Who knew a little motivation is all you need to become a champion? Eh, you need
patience and people to move off the throne so you can enjoy the big,comfy chair.
I don't have anyone to challenge, so I'll let the fates decide. I will either get
another stand-in, or by some miracle, I will face Yamato or The Brute Squad. I'm not
sure how these matchup guys work out their selections at times. Either way, I'll be
ready to face them.
If I keep the throne, I should get an invite next turn. If I lose, but stay in the
Challenger Champions, I should get an invite next turn. If I die, well, I die never to
be seen again.
See you next turn,
-- Duelmaster Harlock
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. DARQUE
FORCES now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody,
watch out for MURASAME, who flew up 22 points in the rankings after mashing DANGEROUS
CRIMINAL like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay
to walk out on the sands. HORRACH was defeated by CHIMERA and drops 4 points. Going
for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was STORMCROWE's NOBLE
ASSASSIN, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by HARLOCK. 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 STORMCROWE arena. And
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid KNIGHT BREED, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does STORMCROWE really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but
catch AVID FANS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running
from KNIGHT BREED. And who is this DENNORUS you ask, with 50 points and a 8-6-0
record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the STORMCROWE giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la bye-bye.
(Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

The Brute Squad -- Welcome back! I'm going to try and do my best to avoid you. I don't
want a stray hit to my noggin ending my less-than-glorious career. -- Brawlipop
M. Chardinee and Dangerous Criminal -- Thanks for the wins. Teach more skills! --
Trauma Queen and Shieldgore
Yamato -- I thought I could win if I approached that differently. It isn't a fight
that I want every cycle, mind ya. -- Space Dandy
Geldshin -- I had to give it a try just on style matchup. -- Murasame
Fenimore -- I prefer all of my matches to be over quickly. Too much room for things to
go wrong when it gets long and drawn out. -- Azura

Where: Lapur DM 29
When: Turn 1000 -- August 6th, 2024 is the due date.
Announcing Lapur's 1000th turn. Over the past 38+ years many legendary fighters and
managers have attended the Lapurian Arena. If you are one of those managers and have a
inactive team, send them into fight for turn 1000. If you have a tourney team in Lapur
and need some new recruits for the next tourney, send them in to fight in the Dark
Arena on turn 1000. Load up the Dark Arena with a page full of fights in the
newsletter and make it memorable. For this one turn join in and celebrate the arena's
1000th. C'mon dust off your old Lapurian warriors and send them to fight during the
day or night for turn 1000 on August 6th!
