DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
YES! I'm finally where I belong... at the top. Hurray for me! If I can hold out
for another turn or so without dying, I might even move on to bigger and better
things. Good luck to the rest of you. -- Dreihden Plunger
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Say good-bye
to FAULTY PREMISES, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 1988
DODGERS stable. A stormcloud is brewing over the STORMTROOPERS guildhouse. Rumor
says any more weeks like this ones 1-4-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena. Coming
up with a solid 3-1-0 outing, THE DREIHDENS has advanced 8 places in the rankings.
SLYTHERIN HOUSE is no joke as it posted a 3-0-0 week advancing from 14th place to 9th
place. Hey everybody, watch out for SETZER GABBIANI, who flew up 21 points in the
rankings after mashing FAT PUNK like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was BEHRIN, who dropped 9 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with HAMMER. Drawing on all of his experience
as a 19-11-1 warrior, KIRK GIBSON went for the Duelmastership against DREIHDEN
PLUNGER this week. Our battling duelmaster DREIHDEN PLUNGER has managed to hold the
title, fending off KIRK GIBSON's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time,
1988 DODGERS. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid
aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the CHAVEZ RAVINE arena. And
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid 1988 DODGERS, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does CHAVEZ RAVINE really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny,
but catch ROOT OF ALL EVIL's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft
at running from 1988 DODGERS. And who is this KRAGO you ask, with 32 points and a
6-2-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Challenging down 19 points was NOVICES.
Pretty soon he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.: The only way to clean up'
pins. I just want to congratulate DONSTAN on beating NOVICES. He overcame his
superior-ranked opponent and gained 18 points. Congrats! In a mismatch, our friend
LUCIUS MALFOY of SLYTHERIN HOUSE got heroic notions and challenged KRAGO. What did
it get him? A 1-2-0 record, that's what. To the crowd's chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo
bo-zo', KRAGO was taken out by the lower-ranked LUCIUS MALFOY. (Maybe it's time to
think Dark Arena?). In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, TAISHAKU went
after TSIRELL, who was higher by 19 points. Well, when the dust settled, TAISHAKU
was defeated by TSIRELL.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Proving again that CHAVEZ RAVINE is not
rated G, SETZER GABBIANI of the THE FINAL FANTASY slew the warrior FAT PUNK in a
rather bloody bout. Let's look for a bloodfeud. Remember: alliances are great, but
try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the CHAVEZ RAVINE giving me the 'cut' sign (or is
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

All -- I send out this invitation to all teams and managers. A new Alliance has been
formed. The Living Essences Alliance is being formed to join forces in an effort to
eliminate common foes and to help the joined warriors grow and learn to the best of
their abilities by offering suggestions and advice. It doesn't matter what arena
you're in, or if you're in another alliance already, as of today. This Alliance is
open to one and all! If you are interested in joining, please DIPLO me, or send a
personal ad to DM 93's newsletter. If you wish to join beyond March 2004, send a PA
to DM 82. Come join the fun! -- Dagan LifeGiver, mgr. Shadow Warriors (DM 93)

This notice is to formally introduce our young alliance, CHAOS INC. We consist of
APEX, FLAGG, MATRIX, ASSAMITE, and now RUDE BUDDHA. If we aren't already there, we
WILL be coming to an arena near you soon! Hope to see you all at the ZALCON II.

Greeting from Jhans, DM 36 -- In 2 turns the kLk will host our first annual "St.
Valentines Day Massacre" in Jhans, arena 36. (Kill Contest) The contest will begin
on turn 450. It will run for 10 turns. On turn 461 the winners will be announced.
There will be 3 separate categories, the team with the most kills, the alliance with

with the most kills a PRIZE of 10 ROLL-UPS will be rewarded (or $50 deposited into
his account). No need to declare yourself in the personals. If you are in DM 36,
you will be part of the contest whether you like it or not. We encourage as much
trash talk as you'd like. All teams, managers, and alliances invited. Please
