DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am Slugbait. I am a lunger. I fight for the Manager Musing Team, directed by
FTF Manager. I like to win.
My real life alter-ego is Dr. Patrick Myers, and I live in Chicago, IL. I am a
medical doctor and a DM addict. I am doing research looking for a cure for the DM
addiction. I do not expect to conclude my findings in this lifetime.
Slugbait, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, JADE MOUNTAIN? Ain't you never seen Snide
Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. And if variety is the spice of
life, JADE MOUNTAIN may be getting bland, as SLUGBAIT stays top dog in the city.
Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys
win their fights? Skill? Ha!
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. IN COLD
BLOOD, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care
to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was MANAGER MUSINGS. Ha ha ha ha!
SAMOSET was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to GARTH of
MANAGER MUSINGS for challenging up by 18 to SAMOSET. GARTH won to get 85 points of
recognition.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of JADE MOUNTAIN. I feel much better now. I see the crowds
are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Short Rock -- Oh, I want YOURS, all right! -- Soultaker
Yeah, but I got Short Rock's THIS time. Eh? -- Garth
Donal Pines -- That was a fine fight. Either of us deserved the win. Salute. --
Slugbait
Greatsword -- Live by the sword , die by the sword. I am glad my name is not
Shortsword. I suspect you are also. -- Darque
Not bad, Team. I am willing to accept a 3-0. Good, but not perfect! -- FTF Manager
Garth -- You're a WHAT? That seems so...inappropriate, somehow. It quite threw me
off my stroke. -- Short Rock
Slugbait -- You really like to see me sweat to stay clear of the title, don't you? --
Donal Pines
The whole IDEA of fighting a standby is to WIN, right? And as employees of the
Commission, the standbys should be going ALONG with that, right? Then what the HECK
was Mondinor doing? -- Ulra T'ssar the outraged
Maul -- Well...uh, good. I'm glad you didn't. I wouldn't like to be hit with one of
those, either. -- Sernillan
Samurai -- What happened? -- all the Sand Dancers
Ed. -- You want to paint with food, fine, paint on tofu with my good will. Just
don't SERVE it to me. That is not the kind of canvas I eat. -- Donal Pines
P.S. Actually, I prefer that my food START with some flavor. Bland is not my middle
name.
What kind of canvas DO you eat? -- Ed.
P.S. What about chicken? The stuff that gets sold as chicken is pretty darned
bland, I think.
Our congratulations to Prongs. -- the Sand Dancers
24 January 2007
The Council of Lords would like to propose a rule change in ADM and Primus. We
propose that Lord Protectors ranked "Grand Champions" and below (ADM) and "The Tower
Guard" and below (Primus) be allowed to fight in the Dark Arena. This would not
impact the top rankings or title match. Any managers who never got his fill or shot
at fighting Gateway monsters would have it as an option. We believe it might spark
some interest in the ADM/Primus realm for some managers. If interested, speak up in
the newsletters or on forums under the "rules changes" thread and let RSI know. This
could even be something to try for 12 months and then be re-evaluated. What say you,
managers of Ghea? -- The Icelord sends....

HDFA Mission Statement
"Show me the money!"
This is the battle cry of a newly formed collection of like-minded individuals:
The High Dolla' Free Agent$. We are not a tough guy alliance: No...we offer no
battle without reward. We search for victory and the prizes and accolades that
follow. We are motivated by winning and will freely use whatever means necessary to
obtain our currency. No stuffy rules, no mandates, no constitutions, no leaders,
only a few objectives:
1) Win as often as possible
2) Celebrate freely and revel in your victories; the more meaningless the
victory the more we celebrate. Highsiding and chest thumping are encouraged.
Ostentatious endzone celebrations with prop usage are encouraged, regardless of
fines, penalties, suspensions or arrest by local authorities. It is important to let
your opponent know how great you are; more importantly, you must let your own
alliance mates know how great you are.
This is a 1-up alliance, let the performance of your fellow Free Agent$ motivate
you. If a Free Agent wins a TV, win 2; if a Free agent wins a contest, win a more
prestigious one.
Current members of the HDFA include: CFH and Abraxis. Inquires can be directed
to: CFH/Rat Salad DM 47
