DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Many thanks to Chagua Korbin for allowing me to be Duelmaster of this fine arena
on consecutive fights. Okay, it was 35 turns between those consecutive fights, but
they were consecutive for me.
How long will I be here, only time will tell. I could lose a fight, and be out
on my derriere. Or I could keep winning, and accumulating political points, of which
I have enough to theoretically graduate with already. And so does Immaculate
Collection. Who will go first. I really can't say.
Oddity of the turn is Fett II showing up to fight. His ID# is the same as the
ID# I Mother Earth had in our old arena (Miroi CHang) before our team moved here when
the gladitorial commission shut up shop back in the old town. That's twice that Fett
II has fought with Mother's strategy, and it hasn't helped his record at all.

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!. HANGOVERS is no joke as it posted a 3-1-0 week
advancing from 5th place to 3rd place. Hey everybody, watch out for THOSE I HURT,
who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing CHURCH OF RISING SUN like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was
CHURCH OF RISING SUN, who dropped 18 points after a disappointing (to say the least)
bout with THOSE I HURT. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody
knuckles was ISLANDERS' CHAGUA KORBIN, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by
NAZARETH. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
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 BASHAHOLICS ANON, please raise you
hand. Wow. Does ILLIS really have that many liars? For those of you who like math,
try this one: BASHAHOLICS ANON + Weapons That go Boom = HANGOVERS + Avoid City.
Well just about everybody wants a piece of TIKI, who was this week's most challenged
warrior. BALL of BEATRICE had better have a good reason for challenging down 12
points in a challenge which she won. I thought BALL showed great skill and promise
when she beat DELISLE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, there's the manager of the ILLIS 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. And remember, you
can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one
already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
