DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I feel like there is little left to be said. I keep expecting to fight Shall Be, and
it does not happen. Perhaps this turn, as s/he is the only challenger champ. A
rematch with Fury would be fun too, since we haven't fought since he TCed. Our
previous match was the second best I've had here in Kyr'terr. I wanted to
congratulate Kat for rising back into the champs--I know my manager would love to
know what your story is.
I'll likely be sitting out one turn before the tourney, so we will get some turnover
at the top.

SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in KYR'TERR! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Uncool, THE FURIOUS FIVE. I
mean 0-2-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training
practice! The guys at HAZAARDS OF CLONING like really pulled together to get a 4-1-0
this turn, moving up by 3. I just can't say enough good things about ENROUTE TO ST
LOUIS. They went 4-1-1 their first time, don't slouch, and they've got good oral
hygiene! This new team WESTERN FROMTIER shows promise, and that's all I'm going to
say (for now). MVP award for MISSISSAUGA? ENROUTE TO ST LOUIS' proud of it after
beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and getting 20 points. Talk about yer big time losers!
BLACKHAWK got smashed by I OF THE NEEDLE, and lost 7 points! And I was just getting
used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome I OF THE KNEE DOLL.
Aren't HAZAARDS OF CLONING proud. (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real
snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of NIGHTHAWKS must be getting lonely.
They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Hhmph!
What kind of warriors are HAZAARDS OF CLONING? NIGHTHAWKS, an easy team to beat if I
ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Like, is AYE OF THE NEEDLE
popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of KYR'TERR! He's got a 12-9-0,
is that good? Ooh! Did KESTEREL really know what she was doing when she challenged
EYE OF THE NEEDLE? A 3-2-0 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I don't know what
it means.) KESTEREL lost to EYE OF THE NEEDLE, but she got 2 points. EYE OF THE
NEEDLE won, and got 3 points. I don't get it.
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All KYR'TERR ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to
hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. KYR'TERR is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

HAMMER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Be it known from the highest mountains to the darkest alleys of Alastari that
the veteran manager known far and wide as Hammer has now officially retired from
sponsoring contests as of September 15, 2005.
What a long time ago was a fun motivated activity to help promote our common
DM/D2 gaming interest in an effort to promote the growth and competitiveness of
selected arenas has become a far from fun experience.
In other words Hammer has had it!
The combination of real life situations interfering with the time needed to
effectively sponsor a contest, plus the attitudes expressed during such sponsorship
interference has led to Hammer closing his personal coin coffers and retiring from
his planned sponsorship of any future contests.
There are others in our close knit gaming community who are well able to step up
to the plate and continue sponsoring contests that make the basic game a fun
experience for all those who choose to compete and interact in such future endeavors.
Hammer thanks all managers both active and inactive who helped to make the
Hammer sponsored contests a historical and entertaining experience well worth the
time, effort and money spent over the past several years.
May the Cheers and the Jeers of future contests build upon the legacies of those
who have paved the way in years gone by to help make this game what it is today.
Hammer has no regrets for the part he has played in that history.
19 September 2005
I'd like to say hello to everyone I know that is still around after my being gone for
five years. Hope to see you all on the sands, and may your weapons strike true and
your shields protect you (except, of course, against MY warriors *grin*)!! -- Lord
Xiang, D2-101
26 September 2005
Regarding the Regional News:
If any of y'all glance at it and find some arenas are behind, rest assured I'll
get them caught up next time around. I was trying to unsnarl the darned thing, but
it was just getting worse, so I decided gradual and partial was better than not at
all or ever. -- The Saint, keeper of lists
