I come to you with news of the "new" team to fear. We're here to test our abilities and to conquer the sands of your arena. We have the likes of John Dillinger, Ma Barker, Al Capone, Lorraine Bobbitt, and Ted Bundy to test your skills. They're known as "Criminal Minds" and I, their manager, am Blackguard. We do hope that you will introduce yourselves in the days to come. -- Blackguard * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 611): KEEL HAULER of SEA DOGS (One-Armed Bandit, mgr.)

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. This is disgusting! Two fights in a row I fight Domjon, an Aimed-Blow, and I BEAT him? I mean I like wins and all, but this is upside-down! And I won going away swinging? My! Maybe it has something to do with being a Druid. Not me! But there must be a reason. I hope I don't have to test for the third. My luck may not hold out. Can I avoid him? We'll see. Tune in again next time. Please do. Duelmaster Extrusion SPY REPORT I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit the road, Debby Tonte. SNOWBOUND needs a spyreport." Oh, well. I talked to CRIMINAL MINDS' manager before the fights. He said, "We're gonna do good." And look at this: 4-1-0! Psychic, or what! MVP award for TED BUNDY? CRIMINAL MINDS' proud of it after beating PERSISTENT BEGGAR and getting 15 points. Talk about yer big time losers! DOMJON got smashed by C.H.S., and lost 8 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! EXTRUSION stopped KIRLA LORVIN dead in hers tracks! I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos. AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. MIDDLE WAY 6 was the most avoided team. Is a 188-262-7 record really that scary? Is there some deep dark secret why LIFE IMPACTS' been avoiding MIDDLE WAY 6 so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is DOMJON popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of SNOWBOUND! He's got a 19-21-3, is that good? Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give it a break? Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do? I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out!
