DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Broken Toe is pathetic, but then, we knew that, didn't we?
As I head into retirement, WITH a winning record, mind you, I am: 12-9-12-17-10-
13-11 BA. WH, very high/moderate. Not bad, but, let's face it, not a godling,
either. However, despite my lack of charisma, I AM attractive, cool, trustworthy. I
feel that these attributes will be of more use to me in life than my ability to
hammer on people.

SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Advancing in the rankings was GENERAL SURGERY
who went from last turn's 62-91-1, to this week's record of 66-92-1. Hey everybody,
watch out for ELEVEN BLADE, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing
APPLEMINT like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the
top ten was APPLEMINT, who dropped 10 points after a disappointing (to say the least)
bout with ELEVEN BLADE. It's a proud day for the GENERAL SURGERY stable, as their
warrior, TENACULUM, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed
protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad REDHORSE? Big bad REDHORSE. Big bad REDHORSE. ROCANIS' afraid of the big
bad REDHORSE. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one:
REDHORSE + Weapons That go Boom = LAFFALYMPICS + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if
challenges were votes, BITTER VETCH would be president. Although it may be a contest
he doesn't want to win.
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.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Wormy -- Hmmm...a number 12 blade...maybe I need to upgrade.... -- Eleven Blade
Whew! That Rirorni Saboteur sure has a thick skin. Like to wore me out! --
Tenaculum
Applemint -- Nice scimitar. Sure wish I could use one that well. -- 4-0 Prolene
Deadfall -- Please don't live up to your name, you teach well! -- Eleven Blade
Wormy -- I just noticed that four out of five of you Bad Apples have winning records.
That is really scary. I guess we'd better start expecting reversals of gravity and
frogs falling from the sky. Brrrr! -- Broken Toe
Jonathannie -- Three skills? I don't remember teaching you that much. -- Mountain
Goat
Captain Caveman -- I am tired of being a good sport. I hate losing! Rats! Horse
poop! Rampaging she-mutts! To heck with you, you fight-winning poozebutt! The
Arenamaster was blind and called the fight just as I was about to make my comeback!
I was robbed! -- Javelino
Hong Kong Phooey -- I love fighting your style. You leap around, you make amazing
faces, you tremble and sweat and generally overact. All for nothing. I am Hedgehog,
hear me roar! -- Hedgehog
Jonathannie -- I didn't like your raspberry. Be careful or I will roar at you. --
Hedgehog
Eleven Blade -- You keep doing this! I'm practically nothing but splinters now! --
Deadfall
4-0 Prolene -- Don't you sometimes wish we had a larger arena? I sure do! Not that
I'm doing badly with this one, but, well, a larger, livelier society would be
acceptable. -- Applemint
Mountain Goat -- Haven't been near your bathtub lately, have you? Phew! A bit rank.
-- Jonathannie
Loser I -- Obviously, it was my duty to support your name. -- Bitter Vetch
Ed. -- Indeed, raspberries are a jewel among fruits. With, of course, cream. Or
maybe ice cream, though it's a little chilly for that right now. -- Jonathannie
Definitely save the ice cream for summer. Not that it's all THAT cold here, but
still. -- Ed.

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.
