DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My first ever sitting on this chair and I must say... it's grand!!! I thank the
gladiator who challenged me and lost allowing me the victory and glory of such a
great honor.
Your New Duelmaster,
Auldrymbrei
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of DAYLA KIV. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. SAND DANCERS?
Who? DISMAL ALLIANCE is the top team these days, buddies! Say what you will about
blind luck and dirty fighting, but GURTARG'S AXES will tell you 54-44-5 is nothing to
laugh at... DISMAL ALLIANCE had cause to celebrate, after DIRE SUCCUBUS got 15
points by beating LALVO OF THE PEN. CHESSARA certainly had a baffled expression on
hers face, after losing to DANGEROUS BON LOKAR and losing 13 points in the process!
AULDRYMBREI successfully staved off a grab for the roses by MADAME U-TANA of DAYLA
KIV. Does DAYLA KIV have no one talented enough to dethrone him? Word has it one
team in DAYLA KIV is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.
I'll bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in FACING
WORLDS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a pup
with its tail between its legs, GURTARG'S AXES scurried away from FACING WORLDS. Oh,
the shame! If challenges were horses, KORBA KLEE could open up a fast food joint!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Citizens of DAYLA KIV, be sure to settle your debts with KOBOLD HERO of WAKE OF
DESTRUCTION. He's relocating to the Dark Arena and has other things on his mind!
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen
into an unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in DAYLA KIV is the highlight of my life. More
important duties call me. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid
DAYLA KIV farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

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
5 October 2005
To those once of Willaf -- It's time to come back to the sands. I'm back,
exclusively at Willaf.... -- Kurd the Vivisectionist, Your Better
