TEAM SPOTLIGHT
* }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ *
I come from among you, but have searched far and wide to bring into the Alastarian
arenas our future's greatest warriors. The beautiful Anishka, willowy and quick.
Glon, an immovable rock. Bandor, his steely gaze making others tremble in fear.
Arrahe, quick as lightning, for one so large. And Jazmina, he's, uh, he's an elf.
Giants, dwarves and elves...they've all joined my stable with the sole goal of
distinguishing themselves in battle. And entertaining all of you with their
exploits. So I guess it's more like two goals. Three if you include making me
money. Four if they're really eager to stay alive, which I can only assume they are.
Anyway, hail the warriors of Epyc Death!

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It's really an honor to sit where the mighty and pretty bottom of our floral idol
were a few days ago.... We spent a lot of time together and I will remain her
admirer: she was so sweet, so smart, so...well, most of the guys here already know.
To get back to the present day, I must say I loved that meeting with Peony. These
girls are terrific.
Good luck to you on the sand.
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, ZERO has advanced 3 places in
the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for HERALD, who flew up 15 points in the
rankings after mashing ONE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some
days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. ONE lost to HERALD and drops 14
points. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was
SITTEES' BYRON, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by PAS DE QUARTIER. 4
out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that
location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid FLOWER GIRLS, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does FRATSFA really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but
catch SITTEES' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running
from FLOWER GIRLS. And who is this IGOR MALMORT you ask, with 140 points and a
13-8-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Well, it looks like SIZZLING SUNFLOWER
wasn't happy with last turn's rank, so she went for broke by challenging up 47
points. No guts, no glory. A Carrion Bird Sellout: SIZZLING SUNFLOWER 10-5-0
fights IGOR MALMORT 13-8-1. (BYOB)
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the FRATSFA 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. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya
bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

Congratulations to Pas, a studmuffin of a Duelmaster. Come on over to The Flower
Shoppe and collect your prize. -- Lady Fern
Pas De Quartier -- Oh, Honey, that was some spanking you gave me! I think it set us
both off! (wink) -- Painful Peony
Three -- That was harsh, but it was good. (giggle) -- Harsh Hawthorn
Kung-Fu, Khalhums, and M. -- Thanks for the good times. -- Outcast Orchid, Sizzling
Sunflower, Insolent Iris (retired)
Pas De Quartier -- You cheater! You chose Peony over ME! -- Iris
I have the pleasure to announce to you the return of Igor Malmort. I was keeping him

left, so.... -- Le Pentarque
Aeschylus -- I bow to your superiority in the arena. For now. -- Arrahe
Four -- I wasn't too happy being bested by the likes of you, but it turns out chicks
dig the new scar. Thanks. -- Glon

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.

ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
