DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I feel like a yo-yo. Activate. Deactivate. Activate. Deactivate. Unfortunately,
this turn will be an inactive one. I'll miss my throne. I expect Paranoia will take
it in my absence as I think he's the next best warrior in this arena. I wish I could
fight again next turn, but I want to make sure I'm eligible to fight champions in the
coming mail-in tournament. I expect I will be graduated after the tournament, but at
least I'll have next turn. -- Amplitur
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, DAL SHANG? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. THE IMMORTALS turned their 1-0-0 turn
into a 5th 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,
REFUGEES, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see MURGON win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
MURGON beat JOHN MATHESON and JOHN MATHESON lost 17 points. You're breakin' my
heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, AMPLITUR has lost the
Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old,
in with the new, as MASOOD takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you
this? You want to know what's new, don't you, DAL SHANG?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
REFUGEES, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.
Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like DARK TOADS avoided
them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh,
I'm frightfully impressed, MARDEN VOSS was this turn's most challenged warrior.
Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I guess I can give a little credit to HUMAN of
DARK TOADS for challenging up by 19 to MARDEN VOSS. HUMAN won to get 89 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.
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Marden Voss -- Hey, when someone gets as smart you obviously are, learning a single
skill is an impressive feat. No doubt your brain is near bursting with all that
knowledge you have. -- TigToad
Jesse Tavan -- Standbys are great fun. They squish and I don't feel bad when I kill
them. -- TigToad
Dilys Tyl Kogan -- Okay, I admit FIVE standbys is a bit much. -- TigToad
Koreen -- Again with the jewel? There is no jewel in my forehead...NO NO NO NO.

within The Foundation. Will be going to Home Guard for a brief stint before moving
to Lirin Kiv to represent Lirith Kai and of course The Foundation. -- Jekyll;
Overlord of The Midnight Foundation
All -- My stable will be put on hiatus for a few months while I "streamline" my
stables elsewhere. I will be returning to both Jade Mountain and here shortly to re-
establish order. There's something about these Lirith Kai cities/arenas.... -- Jekyll
Amplitur -- A title match for me? Things must be really bad here. But we both got
good skills from it. Thanks. -- Marden Voss
Wais -- WARTS! Noooooo! -- Jesse Tavan

I took a dagger and shaved Korka the Hairy close. Ha! -- Koreen
You just made him mad, dammit! -- Murgon
May-Ling Shen -- Couldn't you have dominated the contest FASTER? I've got stuff to
do after the fights, because I have a real life. -- Konga Dilli

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
