DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Odd. I have aspired to this position for so long and now that I achieve it, the
commission graduates me and I will not be allowed to hold it. I follow in
Nathaniel's footsteps as he graduated last turn. I find myself graduating looking
like: 11(1)-9(1)-12-17-17-11-9 LU. Normal endurance caused me no ends of problems,
but the good damage helped. I found my favorites to be VH/VH SH. Stupid shortsword.
I have an Admaster Initiative (+3), Master Attack (+4), Adexpert defense and expert
riposte (-1). I'm not the most amazing warrior to ever see the light of day, but
TigToad is not sure what my fate is to be. I guess we shall see in time. I wish to
make special mention to False Overtures. It is great to see teams return to Jade
Mountain, however I must avoid you as despite your past claims I wish to give others
from this isle a chance to take my throne first. I challenge Anda despite the avoids
and wish everyone here the best of luck. -- Ian
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for JADE MOUNTAIN. MVP award for WRIT OF
MANDAMUS? LEGALESE's proud of him after beating MILLIE and getting 19 points. Talk
about yer major upsets! MILLIE's match with WRIT OF MANDAMUS cost her a loss of 12
points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think IAN should let BEN
FRANKLIN be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team
insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for
PR photos.
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? FALSE OVERTURES was the most
avoided team. Is a 99-127-7 record really that scary? Is there some deep dark
secret why DARK TOADS' been avoiding FALSE OVERTURES so much? Or is it just that
they're too scared? Like, is LEETOLVINA popular, or what? She was challenged the
most in all of JADE MOUNTAIN! She's got a 5-3-0, is that good?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? 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'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

19 August 2003
Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari),
no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening.
While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City.
Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all
gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they
had masks, who cares.
Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in
Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by
those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the
same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many
years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by
pests.
Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own
little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except
to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you
choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs.
Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed.
Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents
will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target
those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home.
So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous
Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and
bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different.

Pip the Troll -- Burly Enforcer Type

Papa Bear says, "It's not my f****n fault."
Guardian -- Paper Figurehead

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the
proud, the TOGS!
