DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Darned Veteran Mercenary! He only taught me one skill, said I got that for
winning, and if I wanted any MORE, I'd have to pay extra! It's no wonder he turned
mercenary, if he has to be paid practically just to pass the salt or something.
Wallis Yent
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 HARNESS, who flew up 33 points in the rankings after mashing DONNA like
a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out
on the sands. PETER DAVISON was overcame by ZAKALUS ARDON and drops 3 points. Our
last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, and WALLIS YENT has
made the way for a new Duelmaster! With WALLIS YENT clearing the throne, VIKING
LINGO of COUNTER OFFER takes a proud seat as JURINE's new Duelmaster, by virtue of
recognition points. 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. Did you hear that MIDDLE WAY 16 was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of MIDDLE WAY 16's
warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch VIKING LINGO's
act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from MIDDLE WAY
16. And who is this BARLO CHELLS you ask, with 82 points and a 17-12-1 record. Ooh,
the tales I could tell! Challenging down 21 points was COUNTER OFFER. Pretty soon
he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.: The only way to clean up' pins.
Definition of petty: COUNTER OFFER defeated BARLO CHELLS, a mismatch of 21 points.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, there's the manager of the JURINE giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been
real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Some managers have attempted to send personals and columns to hal, and hal has
been refusing to acknowledge their content. I don't know what hal's problem is,
specifically, but for best success, send PLAIN TEXT (dot txt) in the body of the
email. Not attachments. Thank you. -- the Editor

POSTED: Arena recruitment effort, DM 32, Arvat -- seeing as our arena Participation
has dwindled in recent months, we're offering the following incentive to any new
teams looking for a new home arena. We will GIVE a Free Rollup to any manager
willing to agree to fight in Arvat for the next 10 turns. We have a number of VERY
solid arena teams stockpiled, and while we don't promise tournament godlings, we are
certain we can come up with teams with 3, 4 or even 5 solid arena warriors to start
out with.
In addition we'll honor any no-challenge requests by relatively new managers to
help you get off on the right foot.
If interested, please contact the Devil Advocates via Diplo or contact
theDarkOne via IM on the www DOT reality DOT com site. We will even give a choice of
teams available if requested.
