DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I finally pass my mantle onto someone else this turn! I know my reign was
nothing in comparison to some in this arena (and others, ::cough:: 83); however, I'm
not a super scum either. I really not that skilled either, but whatever the case I
was able to hold on for my graduation notice.
I've already shared the numbers, but I'll do it again just for the sake of
completeness. I finish my career at 12+1-8+2-10-11-21-10-15. The Commission tells
me that I like a MO/HI rhythm, the LO, and learn Attack skills. I was moderately
blessed, being +2 Defense and +3 Decise. I look to be mode in all other areas. I
learned a whopping 32 skills in in my 20 fights here, giving me a 1.88%. The learn
rate was respectable considering my Wit--though I'm confident that Gobert Hinny's FE
was a great contributor to that factor. I'm going to miss such a good teacher!
My challenges go to The Kid and Gobert as always. I'm trying to keep it out of
4-H's hands as long as possible!
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Say good-bye to DANGER DANGER, as they are pushed from the coveted
top team spot by the LIFE IMPACTS stable. Hey everybody, watch out for MOLDAR NAY,
who flew up 22 points in the rankings after mashing PRESENTATION like a melon. Keep
your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was PRESENTATION, who
dropped 14 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with MOLDAR NAY. Try
as hard as the DARQUE FORCES II stable might, they were unable to find their warrior
(and ex-Duelmaster) WHISTLIN' DIXIE before this week's fights. It's a proud day for
the LIFE IMPACTS stable, as their warrior, DURANGO KID, ascended the Duelmaster's
throne. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the SNOWBOUND arena. Here's
a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad OPEN SESAME? Big bad OPEN SESAME. Big
bad OPEN SESAME. SNOWBOUND's afraid of the big bad OPEN SESAME. Tra la la la la!
And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause LIFE IMPACTS beats
feet every time OPEN SESAME smiles at them. Try farming, eh?
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 SNOWBOUND giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).
Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown

Y'all gratters ta yer Whistlin' Dixie, Duelmaster n' Lord Pertecter 'n all. --
Smitty, Life Impacts
Good'n round, y'all Impacts. Good'n. -- Smitty
All -- I am getting together as many Duelmaster players as possible to play in a game
of Hyborian War as a change of pace. We already have 17 players that are interested
and we are trying to get as many as possible involved before I submit the list to
RSI. I am collecting the names and top 3 kingdoms that the players are interested in
and submitting it myself so we can all play in the same game. If you are interested
PM me in the DuelII Forums at Tripwire or email me at azaer123@comcast.net. --
Tripwire
Whistlin' Dixie -- I'm honored to have been the one to tip you over the edge, though
I don't know what I did. The political points? Achieving your twentieth fights?
Who knows, who cares, eh? Good work. -- Gobert Hinny
Geistlich -- Another day, another loss. Move up the ranks faster. -- Ladiro Maels
Math -- Euwh. -- Shobart Teegue
Taco Bell -- Eh? Only dangerous when the tacos are made with bell peppers. -- Moldar

Bulldog -- Do the bulls agree with that assessment? -- Shobart Teegue
Our congratulations to Whistlin' Dixie. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
We'd salute the tourney participants, but Snowbound doesn't seem to have had even
one. Perhaps we should declare this a no-tourney arena? -- Jorja
