DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I found that surprising, Dr. Orpheus. Was it some late night gig playing music
to soothe the three-headed dogs that made you sluggish today? Not that I mind, but
my recollection is that you are more likely to defeat me than otherwise. Ah, well, I
have no doubt you'll do it again. I'll be waiting. No strat changes, just the same
old thing.

SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
TRICORUS. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
Advancing in the rankings was VAN DUEL who went from last turn's 2-0-0, to this
week's record of 5-0-0. Hey everybody, watch out for MOONDARK, who flew up 16 points
in the rankings after mashing KHALUHUMS DWARF like a melon. Keep your eye on this
gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was DERMOTT, who dropped 13 points
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with ATOMIC PUNK. In front of all the
crowds, DR. ORPHEUS took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two
weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the TRICORUS arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid DARK HORSEMEN, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does TRICORUS really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch
AMAZON ELITE's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running
from DARK HORSEMEN. And who is this DERMOTT you ask, with 11 points and a 1-2-1
record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Big deal, so XENOLEE got mashed in the Dark
Arena. With hers face she was more at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka
waka). Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very important
step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in TRICORUS have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Wachichu -- I could hardly help winning that one. It's my moon-phase. -- Moondark
Yolanda and Zelma -- This isn't what we had in mind when we suggested double-dating.
We had something more relaxed in mind. -- Skalvord and Hargerd
Dermott -- Oh, just hell. I knew there was going to be trouble over that golem
business. -- Ghost of Short Bull
P.S. CN of 7, so this was not actually a surprise. Although... "assassinated"?
Someone paid you for my death? That's just weird. I haven't annoyed anyone THAT
much, surely?
ALL -- MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL IN ALASTARI!!!
May your year end in peace and the new year hold great things for you and your
families. -- Gentleben (Sunset-21, Morya-28, Arvat-32 and Talahya-100)
