DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I'm your champion. Disorder was a fine challenger, I have a feeling when we
fight again it will be yet another great match. However, it isn't happening soon.
This is my last fight in 65 for 2-3 turns. After this attempt to hold the throne,
likely against Churro, since he's the only one in range, I must sit for tourney
timing. I will be back, unlike my staid friend Lepar. Amplitur will not be back,
TigToad decided. Sad. This team has so much talent not being utilized. I expect
the Dark Toads could even deactivate for a turn or two until the tourney draws closer
if I fail to hold the throne. A pity. Anyway, best of luck to Churro and Disorder.
I wish the best to those who follow me. -- Masood
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DAL SHANG this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for PARANOIA, whose 1-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into
7th. OZ 3 stable has parlayed this turn's 2-0-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings.
This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! And let's see, OZ FOX fought
KOREEN and gained 21 points and contributed to TRIBAL COUNCIL 900's 1-0-0. MAY-LING
SHEN has lost to TOBIAS BEECHER, falling 15 points, while helping make THE IMMORTALS
a 0-1-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and MASOOD
remains DAL SHANG's top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I
have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Blazing Unicorn uses trolls in their
stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the PARANOIA stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on DAL SHANG, what are you afraid of? And
avoiding PARANOIA more than any other team we find DARK TOADS. DAL SHANG, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was REFUGEES' warrior CHURRO THE HOOK. More fighters challenged him than
challenged the Duelmaster! In a fit of brilliance or of stupidity (hard to say
sometimes), WAIS challenged MARDEN VOSS today, facing a 33 difference in recognition.
But when the dust settled, WAIS had lost to MARDEN VOSS, and DARK TOADS left WAIS
doing chores when they went to the tavern. Better luck next time.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that DAL SHANG has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAL SHANG and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the

PERSONAL ADS
Marden Voss -- I am proud of my amphibian heritage. I was _named_ Human. I think
someone thought it was funny. Most people just find it confusing. -- Human the Toad
Methadone -- An excellent fight, to be sure. It's not a challenge I want to receive
frequently, so I hope you learned your lesson this time. Of course, if that lesson
is, you can win the fight and get skills, maybe I don't want you learning it. --
Human
Disorder -- I almost never hunt heads, despite what you preach to the masses. I will
admit, my guys seem to get a little more kill excited when they fight yours for some
random reason, but you'll notice they never follow through. -- TigToad
A victory over a standby is as good as any other victory. -- Marden Voss
I'll second that, and I got two skills out of it, too. -- Jesse Tavan
May-Ling Shen -- (grinning like the idiot he is) They're wrong, you know. A victory
over a managed warrior is LOTS better than any other kind of victory. -- Ming the
Terrible
P.S. Even though my aim is rotten.
McManus -- Rotten bad match for you. -- Durvan
P.S. You noticed, didn't you?
Tobias Beecher -- You bathe? I would never have guessed. -- Dilys tyl Kogan
Lepar -- Looking at your record, I would have to say that everybody here has been
missing you right along. -- Lani tyl Kogan, Sand Dancers
Wais -- Heck. -- Koreen the Not Eloquent
Drat, that standby didn't teach me a thing. -- Churro the Hook
P.S. It was a Khriatrin Dwarf.
Horrid -- You're well-named. -- Murgon
Oz Fox -- I don't CARE if you're a better fighter, a man should be TALLER than me if
he wants a date. -- Konga Dilli
P.S. Or very, very persuasive....
19 August 2003
Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari),
no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening.
While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City.
Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all
gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they
had masks, who cares.
Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in
Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by
those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the
same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many
years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by
pests.
Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own
little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except
to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you
choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs.
Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed.
Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents
will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target
those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home.
So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous
Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and
bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different.
