DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Just two more fights and my preparation will be complete. This turn looks like it will be Louie Murh. Naefan, A word of advice Don't mouth off before a fight. I was extra motivated after your comments dissing my purity. I wanted to drown you in your words, but the Arenamaster stopped me before I could get nasty. I am the real thing and nothing will prevent me from proving to you and yours that Whole Milk is the best! -- Whole SPY REPORT Welcome DRAGONHEAD. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Biff! Pow! DRAGONHEAD watched with glee as ARTIC FURY got knocked off top spot by MIDDLE WAY 9! Hmmmph! I always thought KIWI CONNECTION 8 was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0! A team with purpose! A team with the skill to back up their boasts! Getting a 3-0-0 their first time out is KIWI CONNECTION 12. What's with BRUCE? He actually beat LHC's BLACK HOLE SUN, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight. Major screwup at LHC. ALICE lost 6 points to RONARDA SOLA. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe ALICE will provide more easy wins... See how the Duelmaster challenged MIDDLE WAY 9's LOUIE MURH? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. Try as she might, LOUIE MURH wasn't good enough at persuading WHOLE to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! No matter the time or place, men will always duel. What do people see in LOUIE MURH? Hers 19-11-0? MIDDLE WAY 9 ain't talkin', but she's got 91 points. A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. 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. Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WHOLE 5895 12 2 0 103 MILK IS GOOD (650) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ROMOR SAITH 6398 17 13 2 93 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) TORANS ULRIK 6399 14 16 0 93 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) LOUIE MURH 6395 19 11 0 91 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NAEFAN ORDH 6396 22 8 0 74 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TENZIN GYATSO 6236 10 5 0 54 ARTIC FIRE (678) -OXFORD 6344 4 1 1 51 KIWI CONNECTION (696) -WELUB 5890 3 0 0 50 ORC EMPIRE (603) -WOLF BLITZER 6233 6 3 0 46 ARTIC FIRE (678) RONARDA SOLA 6461 10 8 1 44 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) -ORC LEGIONNAIRE 5552 3 2 0 39 ORC EMPIRE (603) -DESTINED 2 DIE 5786 3 1 0 39 ORC EMPIRE (603) ALICE 6392 7 13 0 34 LHC (705) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -NEGHED 5891 3 0 0 33 ORC EMPIRE (603) RUTABAGA 6482 3 0 0 32 VEGGIES II (721) -1% 5898 5 0 0 29 MILK IS GOOD (650) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -UGLI 5785 3 1 1 22 ORC EMPIRE (603) -BEST INTENTIONS 5639 2 1 2 22 ARTIC FURY (620) -ANKA 5787 2 0 1 22 ARTIC FURY (620) -CRANBY 6376 1 1 0 20 KIWI CONNECTION 8 (703) -IGLOO 5788 2 0 0 18 ARTIC FURY (620) -SAVAGE SPLINTER 5636 1 1 1 18 ARTIC FURY (620) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -NOBEL 6379 2 0 0 17 KIWI CONNECTION 8 (703) -ANDERSON COOPER 6388 1 0 0 15 ARTIC FIRE (678) BRUCE 6416 1 0 0 15 KIWI CONNECTION 12 (710) -2% 5896 2 1 0 13 MILK IS GOOD (650) -SAKAMOTO KUMIKO 6304 1 1 0 13 ARTIC FIRE (678) BELLE VUE 6418 1 0 0 11 KIWI CONNECTION 12 (710) -BLIZZARD 6291 2 4 0 10 ARTIC FIRE (678) BLACK HOLE SUN 6518 2 3 0 9 LHC (705) WILDING 6419 1 0 0 7 KIWI CONNECTION 12 (710) -NIGEL 5638 0 2 0 2 ARTIC FURY (620) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Four of your last 5 NPC matchups have been against Khalhums Dwarf. And lets just say that the Dwarf has your number. Bad luck? Conspiracy? -- Assurnasirbanipal Whole -- Alas, we have come to the conclusion--reluctantly, we assure you!--that milk consumpstion will have to be limited, along with wheat consumption. Those darned allergies. At least it shouldn't be necessary to eliminate it completely! -- the Middle Way P.S. Of COURSE whole milk. In so far as this wimpy, four percent stuff in the stores is "whole." A cow wouldn't think so. Whole -- The problem is waking up in the middle of the night all congested and headachy. Been down that road already with wheat, so... gotta be careful, or else we will have snot everywhere. Talk about gruesome! -- Naefan Ordh I never did like dwarfs. -- Torans Ulrik We, on the other hand, like Veteran Mercenaries fine. -- Romor Saith and Louie Murh Alice -- Bah. -- Ronarda Sola LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS WHOLE bested LOUIE MURH in a 2 minute Challenge Title fight. ROMOR SAITH devastated VENEMOUS CONCUBINE in a 1 minute one-sided duel. TORANS ULRIK handily defeated VENEMOUS CONCUBINE in a 1 minute one-sided match. NAEFAN ORDH outwaited CONVICTED ASSASSIN in a slow 11 minute contest. RONARDA SOLA defeated ALICE in a 2 minute match. RUTABAGA devastated CULT MEMBER in a 1 minute uneven brawl. BLACK HOLE SUN was overpowered by BRUCE in a 1 minute one-sided struggle. WILDING bested PERSISTANT BEGGAR in a dull 6 minute novice's competition. BELLE VUE won victory over PERSISTANT BEGGAR in a 2 minute beginner's duel.
