DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I get the throne by beating a standby ranked seventeen points below me? Come
ON, fellow warriors, this is a travesty.
Forla
P.S. Not that I am unsuited to represent this city as top gladiator. I am well
suited to it. But I would have liked a chance to PROVE that on the sands when I took
the title.
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of DAL
SHANG brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. PARANOIA turned their 0-0-0 turn into
a 6th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on
hit lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, DARK TOADS, the
Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Tsk, tsk, DOOHICKEY beat DURVAN and
DURVAN lost 10 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of
life, DAL SHANG may be getting bland, as FORLA stays top dog in the city. The
Blazing Unicorn, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get
this stuff? From DAL SHANG's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. DAL
SHANG, I am losing what little hope I had in you. REFUGEES the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was DARK TOADS. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh,
I'm frightfully impressed, MARDEN VOSS was this turn's most challenged warrior.
Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this
one, but AMPLITUR has challenged up by 29 in an attempt against TESSA TYL KOGAN.
Well, ok, the upstart knave (where've I heard that before?) won this match and gained
23 points to boot! Ha ha ha, TESSA TYL KOGAN. I guess I can give a little credit to
WHATCHAMACALLIT of BUENO FER NADA for challenging up by 21 to MARDEN VOSS.
WHATCHAMACALLIT won to get 57 points of recognition.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in DAL SHANG to get a drink than The Blazing
Unicorn! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of DAL SHANG. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Okay, I came back sooner than I thought... I have a few more guys to time
here. I don't know if they are running in Philly or waiting until October, but I'll
be here at least 3 rounds. -- TigToad
Churro -- Did you know your record is 12-30? At least I helped get you wins. -- Wais
Amplitur -- When I woke up they say you gave us our first loss. Congrats, uh, get
you back later, yeah later is good... -- Whatchamacallit
Jeanine -- Hey, small world! Sorry if I didn't show your excellent fighting the
respect it deserves, I had a hard time seeing over that darned large shield, kinda
missed it I guess. How did the fight go? -- Gizmo
Disorder -- No, you are not paranoid. They really ARE all out to get you. -- Tessa
tyl Kogan
Beaujot -- Okay, so you can out-fight me. That ought to make you willing to date me,
right? I mean, I can't do anything you don't want me to.... -- Marden Voss the ever-
hopeful
Zoltan Laszlo -- Okay, my aim is rotten. Didn't once hit on target (target being
right arm). I regret your death, especially since you didn't have time to realize
how rotten it can be to live as a gladiator. May your gods look with favor on your
soul. -- Durvan
Just in case anyone wants to know, I wouldn't mind fighting standbys every time. --
Ming the Terrible
Whatchamacallit -- No, I don't think Ming is related to your other Ming. Ours got
his name for his form in the practice room: terrible. Really terrible. -- Lani, Sand
Dancers
Panomime -- That's no way to win friends and influence people positively. -- Joss
Tavan
Wais -- You pay attention well. I'd hate to meet you when we're even in experience.
-- Churro the Hook
Human -- It doesn't show. -- Koreen
Whatchamacallit -- Sorry, no. I'm not much of a linguist at the best of times, and
after being bashed around in the arena.... -- Koreen
Doohickey -- In PUBLIC? You Karnhorns are SICK. -- Murgon
30 April 2003
All -- Remember to put your arena number on your strategy sheets. Strategies turned
in without an arena number run the risk of missing the turn. -- NAIEI
10 May 2003
To All -- Fellow managers, I humbly request your help. My team (Ex Oblivione) was
started in Monuntial (DM 34) back in '92. They were active for seven months. I have
lost all early traces of them. If any of you can help with copies of relevant
newsletters or, if you fought one of my warriors, copies of the fights, I would
greatly appreciate it. I only have one of my original warriors left from the early
team now active in DM 60. You can diplo me with any info here in the wonderful city
of Aradi. Thank you in advance. -- Enigma, manager Ex Oblivione
