DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Nobody seems disposed to let the standby write this column, even though she won,
and in one way I'm glad, and another way not. I AM the Duel2Dude, so I should write
it, but on the other hand, I DID lose, and I hate writing stuff. Oh, well.
Volto Leeni
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt JADE MOUNTAIN will ever be the same. And let's see, DOWD fought WAN-FA THE
DANCER and gained 15 points and contributed to DARK TOADS' 2-0-0. DONAL PINES has
lost to VERN, falling 11 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a 3-1-0 turn.
Defending his title for another turn, VOLTO LEENI kept JADE MOUNTAIN's warrior, KO-HA
OAKCHOPPER, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear
the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Green Axe until they win.
Maybe?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. 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.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

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
