DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
After fourteen titles, it's getting quite difficult to say something new. It
is. Boring for me, I guess. But maybe not for the fourteen on the other side of
those battles. Sorta like at The Flower Shoppe, I may finish off my fourteenth of
the day, and each one seems pretty excited about it! The mark of a true champion, I
always say. Keep 'em happy. Take the top position. They will be glad I did! (wink)
I have to talk about the death my sister caused. Anxious Azalea did not want to
"off" Fireball. No way! Girls just wanna have fun, and perhaps she got a little
rough. Perhaps. But, wow! We really hate it when that happens. Bad stuff. Fire
Inc, all of us gals are sorry. We are.
I wonder when the next Fratsfa Quest is going to start? I wonder if I can last
long enough to be around for it? I hope. I do.
Come on over to The Flower Shoppe. I need some action. I like the action. You
like the results. (wink) See ya.
Insolent Iris, DM XIV
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in FLORAL VALLEY since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf
Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Up 'n down. Up 'n
down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, FIRE
INC.'s 3rd moved them up to 3-2-0 place. What's with SHY ANN? She actually beat
DARK RAIDERS' MALICE, and walked away with 23 more points from the fight. Major
screwup at DARK RAIDERS. MALICE lost 34 points to SHY ANN. Some new strategies,
perhaps? Maybe MALICE will provide more easy wins... FLORAL VALLEY has a Duelmaster
who doesn't sit back and get lazy. She challenged DARK RAIDERS' PANDEMIC (13-26-0),
which should prove (ahem!) interesting. Try as she might, PANDEMIC wasn't good
enough at persuading INSOLENT IRIS to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...
Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is
looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was HOPLITES. The bums at SITTEES couldn't face the challenges from HOPLITES! No
excuse for that! What do people see in PANDEMIC? Hers 13-26-0? DARK RAIDERS ain't
talkin', but she's got 103 points.
Warriors of FLORAL VALLEY unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? The
end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
La Pentarque -- That was very kind of you to give everyone those sock stuffer
certificates for a romp at The Flower Shoppe. Business was great! Everyone had fun!
Terrific! (wink) -- All Us Flower girls
Barnabas -- The pleasure is truly all mine, Hon. (well, maybe not ALL -- wink) --
Lady Fern
Fireball -- I am sorry. That was not my intent. I understand your team's need to
bloodfeud. Tell them to be very careful, though. No matter what, I will not try to
kill any of them. -- Anxious Azalea (feelin low)
Opal Avenger -- You fooled me! I can see that you really liked that top position.
Let's do that again at The Flower Shoppe. I am very, very ambidextrous, you know. --
Sizzling Sunflower
Ser Galad -- Next time I hope you can go longer with that big weapon of yours. You
need the practice. (wink) -- Painful Peony
Mayhem -- What can I say? Come on over to The Flower Shoppe and let me lick your
wounds. -- Insolent Iris
Flame -- Well that was fun for your first, wasn't it? (wink) Wanna do it again? --
Outcast Orchid
For all those headed to The Dark arena, beware of Wailin' Wayne. We can tell by his
name that he must be the best of the lot. -- The Flower Girls
Shy Ann -- I'm afraid you are definitely not the gentle type. -- Pas De Quartier
The team is slowly getting ready for the next Quest... and right now enjoying an
arena with so many Frenchies and Lovers (but the two words do mean almost the same)
among the DA monsters. -- Le Pentarque
Lady Fern -- I think Anxious Azalea took a little more than Fireball had to offer.
We shall be sending someone to visit her and see what she has left. -- Wretch
Le Pentarque -- Thanks for the hello. I welcome the chance to battle another fine
manager -- Wretch
All -- Think I got what I deserved asking for a little more competion after my 5-0-1
start. 0-5-0 is a fine punishment for a big head. I will gladly take wins over NPCs
after that turn. -- Wretch
Ah, but sometimes the standbys like to win, too!
Dishonor -- Well you made the challenge and it went your way. May the next time we
meet it will be different for me. -- Fire Wall
Aura of Silence -- Slow and ulgy and not at all fun. Oh well you did what you needed
to win. -- Spark
Outcast Orchid -- I thought I had you but.... -- Flame
Thedeonitsknees -- Seems my brother did better then myself. Next time you never
know. -- Firestorm
Anxious Azalea -- Ladies and flowers, such pretty things. I think I have had enough
of both of them in this life any way. Luck and life. Pain and loss. May all these
be in your future sometime soon. -- Ghost of Fireball
Malice -- Congrats on the invite. -- Wretch

HDFA Mission Statement
"Show me the money!"
This is the battle cry of a newly formed collection of like-minded individuals:
The High Dolla' Free Agent$. We are not a tough guy alliance: No...we offer no
battle without reward. We search for victory and the prizes and accolades that
follow. We are motivated by winning and will freely use whatever means necessary to
obtain our currency. No stuffy rules, no mandates, no constitutions, no leaders,
only a few objectives:
1) Win as often as possible
2) Celebrate freely and revel in your victories; the more meaningless the
victory the more we celebrate. Highsiding and chest thumping are encouraged.
Ostentatious endzone celebrations with prop usage are encouraged, regardless of
fines, penalties, suspensions or arrest by local authorities. It is important to let
your opponent know how great you are; more importantly, you must let your own
alliance mates know how great you are.
This is a 1-up alliance, let the performance of your fellow Free Agent$ motivate
you. If a Free Agent wins a TV, win 2; if a Free agent wins a contest, win a more
prestigious one.
Current members of the HDFA include: CFH and Abraxis. Inquires can be directed
to: CFH/Rat Salad DM 47
