                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Because I am not really cut out for this position
     Because I really have an ugly stat makeup
     Because I am nothing but a placeholder
     Because I would rather have a romp in the hay than a fight in the sand
     Because I really want out of here
     Because I like all the gladiators in Fratsfa (really like 'em!)
     Because life is sweet
Because, because, because... I really don't know why I shared all that; perhaps a
Duelmaster Column is like going to a therapist?
     Sooooooooo, hopefully I can stay here just one more time.  Hopefully.
                     Gloating Gardenia, DMII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail FRATSFA!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as BASH BROS ROAD SIGN is 
pushed out of top team by FLOWER GIRLS, who came from 2nd with a 3-2-0 this turn.  
The DRAGONS GUARD II guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the 
future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, HU YAN 
ZHUO fought SALINA REES and gained 21 points and contributed to WAH CHING's 1-3-0.  
BOMBATTA has lost to MOE SKEETO, falling 10 points, while helping make DRAGONS GUARD 
II a 3-1-0 turn.  We should ask CONFLICT about the thrill of victory, and what being 
the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, it's now the one to ask.  By the way, was that 
our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?  
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  I also notice that the WAH CHING 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on FRATSFA, what are you afraid of? 
And guess who avoided WAH CHING stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was FLOWER 
GIRLS.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that URSILA RILVAR from 
MIDDLE WAY 8 was FRATSFA's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover 
or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

My, oh, my!  A four and oh?  A Duelmistress?!  My Flower Girls must have been quite
naughty and nice! -- Lady Fern

Wei Yan -- You are such a little cutie-pie.  Thanks for the lovely romp in the sand.
It was, well, it was nice.  Did you have fun?  You were so nice to let me win.  If
you come to The Flower Shoppe to see me, I will make sure you win. (wink) -- Hateful
Hasta

Velvet Rose -- We gals sure got it on, didn't we?  Girls just wanna have fun.  I
think I had the most. -- Petulant Pansy

Dargon -- Perhaps you were a little outmanned?  Or should I say outwomanned?  I felt
it!  I really did. -- Gloating Gardenia

Salina Rees -- It was long.  (har har)  It was fun.  Did you, you know? -- Caustic
Crocus

No Flower Girl exploits to report on from The Face.  Did anyone go and do well?  The
boss was quite unhappy that he didn't break 90 on any of the three tries on the golf
course.  (Does that really matter?) -- Lady Fern

Health.  Humility.  Honor. -- Lady Fern, Flower Girls

Lady Fern -- Well thank you for that.  I have moved a team to Aruak City from DM 25
(they have been there for years, just sitting on their hands), this will be my 4th
team there (my teams in DM 47 and 29 started life in DM 11).  I have sent my team in
DM 29 to DM 50, I see it has lots of snow, wind cold and trolls.  Yeah, most of my
game play is in slow arenas nowadays.  So I'll be in Snowbound in Stormsend or
Lambsborn on 524 or sooner.  The lst time I went that way was Harvesmoon 8, 513 (10-
8-02).  Did the the life Impacts go under new management?  I see that the Coach is
running them, but I remember them being managed by Smitty?  If the Consortium can Dip
me a style list and who-who in Snowbound that would be helpful.  As for DM 28, I'll
get back there one of these days, I mean it's only been 4 years sense I was last
there. -- Liam
P.S.  Team name in DM 50 is Grave Dancers.

Jorja -- I know Mantor is the big cheese in this whole area, but to ward the
guildhouse and your yard, gee, talk about no solicitors.  A flesh eating horse who's
mad at losing its wings, hey, we could sneak it in to Ketchum's office over a long
week end, think of the mess he'll have on his hands.  Any you could tell Ski Mask
that Ketchum is feeding the horse ducks.  Speaking about Mantor, I saw Ellis Tate
last night walking out of the house of Mytori Iron Hand with a young man, and Salina
Rees was talking with a pristess of Chykarin at the Flower Shoppe, not sure what
happened with the two of them, Hateful Hasta was leading up stairs. -- Liam

Keia -- Sorry I didn't teach you better, a fast fight, may you win more than you
lose. -- Corpse Rot

Sun Qian -- Sometimes, following the rules of the road involves knowing what signs
would be there, not what signs are visible. -- Hidden

Yurishido -- The fine print will get you every time. -- Unreadable

Driskel -- Defaced! -- Graffiti

Sorry, but we've no time to do personal personals today.  So--

To those we fought -- Good fight. -- We who fought you
