DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. I know, I know, I'm too young for this. But I AM a pretty fine warrior. (And good at a lot of other things, too. -wink-) I know how to get my way on and off the arena floor. (giggle) So, why don't you put your credit card on the line and challenge me? You know where to find me. I am tricky and full of tricks. (another giggle) Right here on the DM Throne or at The Flower Shoppe, I am ready for any and all. I excitedly await your first thrust. (or mine) Petulant Pansy, DMI SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody, watch out for SALINA REES, who flew up 26 points in the rankings after mashing HATEFUL HASTA like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. UNREADABLE was defeated by CRACKED KNUCKLE and drops 16 points. Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! PETULANT PANSY made a challenge against DARGON this week. Well, everybody's pal PETULANT PANSY moved hers record to 14-3-0 by defeating DARGON in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 13 recognition points. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad DRAGONS GUARD II? Big bad DRAGONS GUARD II. Big bad DRAGONS GUARD II. FRATSFA's afraid of the big bad DRAGONS GUARD II. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch FLOWER GIRLS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from DRAGONS GUARD II. Well just about everybody wants a piece of SALINA REES, who was this week's most challenged warrior. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Well, the arena is no place for slow learners (and hopefully T.P.s) and SALINA REES demonstrated that very violently on HATEFUL HASTA's body. Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. 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?). Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PETULANT PANSY 4234 14 3 0 123 FLOWER GIRLS (189) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SALINA REES 3546 19 32 1 121 MIDDLE WAY 8 (351) CONFLICT 4274 13 3 0 102 DRAGONS GUARD II (253) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FAT LIP 3791 14 16 0 88 OTTO'S PARTS (150) DARGON 4264 14 8 0 87 DRAGONS GUARD II (253) HU YAN ZHUO 849 15 20 0 79 WAH CHING (146) URSILA RILVAR 4105 12 15 1 78 MIDDLE WAY 8 (351) WEI YAN 4257 11 14 1 69 WAH CHING (146) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HIDDEN 4278 6 4 0 66 BASH BROS ROAD SIGN (433) LEIA 4330 5 1 1 66 DRAGONS GUARD II (253) -VELVET ROSE 4255 12 9 0 65 JADE WARRIORS (430) CRACKED KNUCKLE 4166 6 1 0 62 OTTO'S PARTS (150) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SUN QIAN 4256 11 14 1 56 WAH CHING (146) GRAFFITI 4280 7 2 0 55 BASH BROS ROAD SIGN (433) RUNNY NOSE 3877 8 11 0 53 OTTO'S PARTS (150) UNREADABLE 4279 7 3 0 50 BASH BROS ROAD SIGN (433) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOMBATTA 4286 6 2 1 50 DRAGONS GUARD II (253) -MOE SKEETO 4319 3 0 0 50 GARBAGE PAIL KIDS (436) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ELLIS TATE 4325 5 6 0 33 MIDDLE WAY 8 (351) -YURISHIDO 4290 6 8 2 29 JADE WARRIORS (430) MASSIVE MIGRAINE 4167 4 3 0 29 OTTO'S PARTS (150) STUBBED TOE 4205 1 1 1 25 OTTO'S PARTS (150) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -POE 4335 2 1 0 22 JADE WARRIORS (430) -HAUGHTY HOLLY 4329 2 0 0 21 FLOWER GIRLS (189) SEARING SUNFLOWER 4339 1 0 0 13 FLOWER GIRLS (189) -MAE LING 4334 2 1 0 8 JADE WARRIORS (430) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
