DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I consider that fight a fair exchange, Morganna. I get the win and the throne
with its political points, you get four skills and two ratings, and we both graduate.
Good deal, hmm? Shall we travel to the Isle together, or conversely both stay here
and raise a little heck? Maybe we could get together an adventure.
Lentiria
P.S. Morning star? I'm more of an evening person.
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in JADE
MOUNTAIN. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for HOLLY HEPATITIS, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after
mashing MORGANNA like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. POLLY POX was overcame by ARDEN and drops 7
points. HABEAS CORPUS got through to the Duelmaster this turn. No doubt he was more
than anxious to kick LENTIRIA's tail out of the throne! Our battling duelmaster
LENTIRIA has managed to hold the title, fending off HABEAS CORPUS' none too subtle
advances. Better luck next time, LEGALESE. An apple a day keeps the doctor away,
but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad RUNEBLADES? Big bad
RUNEBLADES. Big bad RUNEBLADES. JADE MOUNTAIN's afraid of the big bad RUNEBLADES.
Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause
DARK TOADS beats feet every time RUNEBLADES smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And
who is this ESSINA TYL VERN you ask, with 85 points and a 15-39-1 record. Ooh, the
tales I could tell!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real, and its been fun,
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Judge -- Actually, my squad in here is better than it has been in a while, it's just
these new guys don't want to win. Graduating Morganna will help my W/L%, she's been
struggling in champs +.
All -- On that note, Morganna is: 9(2)-12(1)-15-15-21-4-11 WS. Good Endurance, Great
Damage. She is now my fourth style to get favorites of LO/VL. Sigh. My first
Morning Star favorite, though. Wow. Attack favorite learn, she had 19 attack learns
and her admaster before she picked up an adexpert anywhere else. Her favorites and
overall inability to learn riposte is going to see her way to retirement. She is my
sixth graduate from Jade Mountain and my fifth different style and personally my
first Wall of Steel graduate. Unfortunately, she is my first Jade Mountain graduate
to not be Duelmaster on her way out, so you all get this note in the personal ads
instead of in the Duelmasters column. -- TigToad
Woody -- You realize with Lentiria and I moving on and TigToad's challenges this
turn, that if Habeus Corpus loses and the popularity points go just right, we could
be looking at Duelmaster Woody? Of course, I am rooting for Duelmaster Harold. --
Harold of Dark Toads
Essina Tyl Vern -- When did you get 53 fights? I guess I need to pay better
attention! -- TigToad
Lentiria -- Congratulations on your graduation. It's fighting we go out together,
though you constantly bested me in our series. -- Morganna
Harold -- What a toad! How'm I going to keep up with my tapestry work with both arms
in casts? The least you can do is come thread needles for me. -- Essina tyl Vern
Arden -- Didn't you have a forest named after you? -- Tabatan
P.S. Though I am boggled to think what it might MEAN that you are named after a
forest.
Writ of Mandamus -- Is that like nuts? They grow 'em around where my manager lives.
Mandamus nut orchards. -- Volto Leeni
Xavier -- As you see, I am a skilled teacher. That's what they keep me around for.
-- "Professor" Woody
Morganna -- Yeahyeahyeah, but what about the skills you got, eh? -- Lentiria
Tigtoad and Lorana -- Alright, you persuaded me. We will stick around for a while.
-- Judge, mgr. of Legalese
RUG #5586 -- "Winkles?" All I need to do is give you more "winkles" for better
rollups? And I thought I had to bring you sacrifices of Democrats running for
president. I hereby sacrifice Al Sharpton. -- Judge
Hey, so I wanted winkles. I'm afraid this Sharpton fellow only gets you worse
replacements though. He is NOT a winkle. -- RUG 5586
Woody -- I would like to see you "allocute" to your rollup stats. -- Lord Protector

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.

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)
28 January 2004
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
the most kills, and the warrior with the most kills. For the manager of the team
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
contact Polarius (mgr. of Blitzkrieg) in DM 36 with questions. Or you can email me
at jamieptmo@hotmail.com. Good luck and see you in the sands. -- Polarius
