Larkin here once again, with more interviews from the tourney. This time I'm
talking to a new manager, so new he doesn't even have a manager name. "Sir... what
would you like me to call you, by the way?"
"Why do you have to call me anything? I don't understand why you want to
interview me. There are lots of great managers here who could probably tell you
stuff--"
"I'm looking for a new perspective, the point of view of someone who is just
starting out with the gladiatorial games."
"Oh. Well, I guess that would be me."
"Absolutely right! Tell me, what do you think of the tourney? This is your
first, right?"
"Right, my first," the young man agreed. "And it's GREAT! Everyone is just
great here! I mean, most of these managers, they're, like, legends, you know?
Everybody's heard of them, and they have stables of HUNDREDS of gladiators, and
they've been polishing their tricks for YEARS, and I didn't figure I had much of a
chance, you know?"
"The popular view is that no matter how much you know, the arena can always
throw a surprise at you--"
"Yeah, yeah, I've heard that. I don't know if I believe it, but I've heard it.
But that isn't the best thing about this tourney. The best thing is that everyone
here has been GREAT. Or else I didn't meet them--the ones that might not have been.
But I think I met just about everyone, and--"
"And they were great. I'm glad. But perhaps you could tell our readers a
little more, maybe tell them how these experienced managers were great to you?"
"Well, yeah, okay. It's that everyone was so friendly and helpful, see? The
ENTIRE Consortium talked to me about warrior design, for instance. I learned a lot
there. And, well, there was Mannequin, and The Greek Guy, and I actually met
Manager, too! And they were all really helpful. Advice, you know, and charts, and
all that stuff that was so confusing. It was just the best experience! I'm going to
do it again, for sure!"

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ILLIS games. My praise to ISLANDERS for their 4-1-0
week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!
CHAGUA MARNIR caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully
bested DOOMIE CHAMPION and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, SYLVESTER put down DAMN I'M SEXY, causing him to lose 7
points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the
usurper. All hail I'M A BASHER, Duelmaster of ILLIS! Would you believe that over
half of the old women in ILLIS seem to feel that they could fight better than you
gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in ILLIS as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Once a Bashaholic, always a Bashaholic. All I can hope for is that my addiction can
be controlled. Lucky for me, I've established and founded the 12 step program of
"Bashaholics, Anon!" -- Assurnasirbanipal
As in: "Basher No. 1, Basher No. 2...."?
Dog Catcher -- Damn, you're really serious about this stuff, aren't you? Well,
here's a clue: most of your opponents aren't dogs. -- Sylvester
A Cult Member? Pooh. -- Belitris
Leaky Roof -- Is there any other kind? -- Coco Nuttal
That "Doomie Champion" is probably an insult to whoever he's supposed to be
championing. -- Dillis Rhin
And since the topic has been opened, the Mordant Deserter doesn't speak well of
Mordant, either. -- Chagua Marnir
Dog Catcher -- Oh, well... I know it happens. I just didn't want it to happen to me,
is all. -- Ghost of Alinai
