DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
3 Off Seasons in a row.
I guess baseball is about the boys of summer, so you could go through fall,
winter and spring, but last I checked, there was regular season baseball in both the
spring and fall, and Spring Training actually starts in the winter. Anyway, he's
getting better, but the lack of variety in my opponents is getting boring. Can't
anyone else get up here?
-- Two Headed Monster
Open Sesame
Four-Time Duelmaster of Snowbound
SPY REPORT
Welcome SNOWBOUND. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with MRS.
SPARKLENOSE? She actually beat DARQUE THEORY's OUTTA TUNE, and walked away with 19
more points from the fight. Major screwup at DARQUE THEORY. OUTTA TUNE lost 14
points to MRS. SPARKLENOSE. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe OUTTA TUNE will
provide more easy wins... Another fighter (OFF SEASON 7-5-0) challenged another
Duelmaster (TWO HEADED MONSTER 16-13-2). Life goes on. I can barely restrain my
enthusiam for BASH BROS SPORTS' outstanding member, Duelmaster OFF SEASON. Advice to
fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was OPEN SESAME. In my day, no team with a 555-342-44 would scare me off! What's
the problem, DARQUE THEORY? What do people see in JANICE KOLE? Hers 4-8-0? MIDDLE
WAY 6 ain't talkin', but she's got 61 points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Remember--a good
fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Helga Iceland -- Again, please move into the challenger champions so we can vary the
matchups at the top of the arena. -- Mr. Noodle
Outta Tune -- That's what happens when you hit your triangle with a Maul. -- Word on
the Street
Rare Breed -- You are no HW Clone -- Mrs. Sparklenose
Ostinato -- Clearly Jorja is confused. You are not obstinate, nor ostentatious.
Rather I think your name refers to osteoinnerearhurtsandwishthesoundwouldstopperossus,
which as everyone knows, is the acute pain faced when having to repeatedly listen to
beginning musicians hit the off-key notes in the most annoying manner possible. And
besides, its too long to use as a character name in this game. I'm sure Bride of
Darque would agree. -- Mrs. Noodle
Two Headed Monster -- Hopefully... 4th times a charm! Going to try something
different, but the boss says to not expect a different result. -- Off Season
Due dates seem odd on this arena. A lingering tourney after effect, I suppose. --
Jorja
P.S. Seems like the effect was particular to me! I checked online and the duedate
there is correct. Oh, well.
Mr. Noodle -- Oogh. That's probably my wheat allergy. Still, you were a tough
opponent. You can graduate any day now. -- Helga Iceland
Trill -- I have some weird notion that you're too tall to be a trill. A sustained and
resonant note, that should be your signature. -- Janice Kole, glad of the win
Fermata -- Wind sprints for me. -- Viola Wing
What is it with these aimers that they tend to come out unarmored? Some kind of vow,
or they don't have enough stats for the strength to wear armor? It's frustrating to
see them, even if they're convicted thieves, taking damage armor would have prevented.
-- Perry Reese
