DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! I'm still here and survival is now the name of the
game for both me and the Golden ones. Which is a very positive thing for me, because
Assur says there is no reason to expect I should win another fight, other than the
fact that I've been so lucky in getting my challenges through so far.
That is Assur's goal for us. It is actually his goal for every warrior on this team.
Three of us have potential to be among the most elite Basher Lord Protectors in the
world. Of course, being an elite basher is not quite the same thing as being an
elite Aimed Blow or Lunger, but someone has to believe in Bashers, and that would be
Assur.
Hope to see you next turn! -- Virginia
SPY REPORT
Welcome DAL SHANG. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Biff! Pow! DAL SHANG
watched with glee as MIGHTY DUCKS got knocked off top spot by GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS!
What's with KARELLO? He actually beat SAND DANCERS' JERI TAVAN, and walked away with
18 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at LETHAL HERITAGE while they watched
KARELLO clobber JERI TAVAN. She lost 13 points and got bruised from objects thrown
from the stands. See how the Duelmaster challenged SAND DANCERS' KO LAO-DEN? That
sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. KO LAO-DEN was reminded on the
sands why VIRGINIA, NO SANTA is Duelmaster. I suppose you want to hear some rumors
and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. DAL
SHANG thinks MIGHTY DUCKS and their 164-151-4 is too much! If at first you don't
succeed, give up... Management must be dealin', as the boys at GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS
ain't reelin'! MIGHTY DUCKS' mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, JAEGO SARL! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt
you. Taunt your opponent TEBAS TEN KOGAN! That was my lucky charm when I was
unfairly challenged. (and by 53 points!) 5 GOLDEN WARRIORS should have an easy win.
5 GOLDEN WARRIORS subdued TEBAS TEN KOGAN. I bet 5 GOLDEN WARRIORS could beat
two-year-olds, too. Well, SAND DANCERS knows who to set their sights on. Fighting
is a better craft than farming, MAVERICK, but you have to pay your dues. Being
challenged by OSCAR, 16 points above you, is dues. OSCAR defeated MAVERICK. STEEL
SYNDICATE calls this fighting? In my day... JAEGO SARL didn't quite know what to
make of a challenge he received from MARCELLUS of STEEL SYNDICATE, who is 25 points
below him. MARCELLUS perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was overcame by
JAEGO SARL and ended up with 6 recognition points.
Warriors of DAL SHANG unite. You have only your games to lose! BLACKTHORN
looked pretty sick and surprised when she learned POSSE is sending her to the Dark
Arena! Whadd'she expect with a 7-5-0? How long have I been here? I got people to
see, places to go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
5 Golden Warriors -- Darn. I expect gold to be softer, but I keep forgetting there
are five of you. Ouch. -- Tebas ten Kogan, everybody's punching bag
Ah, the dwarf. He is good, but not good ENOUGH. -- Ko Lao-Den, better than the
Master of Rock-Fu
A Chardinee by any other name is still a member of that highly suspect Chardinee
Society. I don't trust them an INCH. -- Jeri Tavan
They're probably metric anyway. -- Ed.
Deadwood -- I haven't seen that in you. Very much live wood, if you ask me. --
Kassal ten Dru
P.S. Too lively for comfort, in fact.
M-1 Mallard -- I forgive you that win, embarrassing though it was, because you aren't
really a Duck. That makes up for a lot. -- Jaego Sarl
Marcellus -- Stupid mammal! You DARE to imagine you can defeat me? Ha! -- Skordahl,
a Duck and proud of it
Gift Certificate -- I never get stuff like that for Christmas. Do you think it would
help if I cried? -- Sigban
Dark Wing -- I hate fights that go like that. You get the first and the last blow,
and some in between, and all *I* get to do is stand there and be hit. -- Dakoril
P.S. And then you up and bury me in the sand. Talk about adding insult to injury!
And a bad-tempered standby. They shouldn't let them come into the arena in that kind
of mood. -- Gobarl
22 February 2006
The Olympics have arrived!
The Mordanti Olympics, having been gone for six years, have returned to the Mordanti
Alliance, sponsored by Amicitia Primoris. Teams have competed against each other for
recognition and notoriety four times in the past. It is far past time for the fifth
Mordanti Olympics to be held. The Mordanti Olympics shall be held in the Mordant
arena (DM-1) from May 1st (T544) through Oct 30 (T557). There will be a
'registration period' lasting until T543, where teams will be allowed to register by
activating in Mordant and declaring their participation in the personals. Rules will
be posted in the Mordant arena (DM-1) newsletter no later than T543, but shall be
available online before then. An announcement will be made as to where they will be
posted. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
