DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Is there some special gift that I can get from you, Mary Kay? So long as it
isn't PINK, of course. I am curious. You elves have such UNUSUAL habits.
Chessara
SPY REPORT
Good day, in DAYLA KIV a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. The CORPS guild has had a 3-1-0
turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of
thing can lead. And let's see, TIRGU JIU fought STARBUCK and gained 13 points and
contributed to HUNTERS & PREY's 2-3-0. STARBUCK has lost to TIRGU JIU, falling 11
points, while helping make CORPS a 3-1-0 turn. We should ask RAGING PYROTHAG about
the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now
the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped
under the table at The Crystal Wheel?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. The most challenged warrior this turn was
CORPS' warrior SPALDING. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, DARTH DECLAWED from ARENA FELINES challenged up 25
points to fight MARY KAY from the CORPS stable. DARTH DECLAWED perhaps got his just
desserts, seeing as he was defeated by MARY KAY and ended up with 40 recognition
points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in DAYLA KIV, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe

Spalding -- It was over after the first hit. But I enjoyed watching you dance for
the rest of the fight. -- Jaen Martos
Starbuck -- You do that so well. -- Tirgu Jiu
Pole Cat -- Bad cat. Bad, bad cat. -- Warclaw
Stargazer -- I think I'm in trouble. -- Qaz Aq Atyrau
Lura Tyl Zuris -- You are tough. I'm not. -- Xonaxj Quecuya
Cat Stevens -- A vet told me that cats have to eat mice, or mouse extract, in order
to remain healthy. Do you eat mice? Would you eat a mouse if one was offered? --
Garmon Chang
P.S. I don't know whether they have to be raw.
Sam Goody -- Perhaps you should stick to your day job, eh? -- Korba Klee
Oh, a standby. Pooh. -- Jujuble
Xonaxj Quecuya -- Amazing! Did your manager name you by dumping out the left-over
letters from a scrabble set? How do you even pronounce that? I noticed the arena
announcer had a problem with it. -- Lura tyl Zuris
Lady Protector Chessara -- Lands are available on the border on the usual terms. If
you are interested in the possibilities, let me know. -- Harizon, Arena Steward

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
