Larkin here once again, with more interviews from the tourney. This time I'm
talking to a new manager, so new he doesn't even have a manager name. "Sir... what
would you like me to call you, by the way?"
"Why do you have to call me anything? I don't understand why you want to
interview me. There are lots of great managers here who could probably tell you
stuff--"
"I'm looking for a new perspective, the point of view of someone who is just
starting out with the gladiatorial games."
"Oh. Well, I guess that would be me."
"Absolutely right! Tell me, what do you think of the tourney? This is your
first, right?"
"Right, my first," the young man agreed. "And it's GREAT! Everyone is just
great here! I mean, most of these managers, they're, like, legends, you know?
Everybody's heard of them, and they have stables of HUNDREDS of gladiators, and
they've been polishing their tricks for YEARS, and I didn't figure I had much of a
chance, you know?"
"The popular view is that no matter how much you know, the arena can always
throw a surprise at you--"
"Yeah, yeah, I've heard that. I don't know if I believe it, but I've heard it.
But that isn't the best thing about this tourney. The best thing is that everyone
here has been GREAT. Or else I didn't meet them--the ones that might not have been.
But I think I met just about everyone, and--"
"And they were great. I'm glad. But perhaps you could tell our readers a
little more, maybe tell them how these experienced managers were great to you?"
"Well, yeah, okay. It's that everyone was so friendly and helpful, see? The
ENTIRE Consortium talked to me about warrior design, for instance. I learned a lot
there. And, well, there was Mannequin, and The Greek Guy, and I actually met
Manager, too! And they were all really helpful. Advice, you know, and charts, and
all that stuff that was so confusing. It was just the best experience! I'm going to
do it again, for sure!"

SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for DEBBIE GREEN, who
flew up 23 points in the rankings after mashing JADE RING like a melon. Keep your
eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was JADE RING, who dropped
16 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with DEBBIE GREEN. Going for
the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was SAND DANCERS' KORTO LU,
who was turned away from the Duelmastership by QUINCY WATTS. Advice to
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the JADE MOUNTAIN arena. And
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid SAND DANCERS, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does JADE MOUNTAIN really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me?
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause GREATS OF TROY beats feet every time SAND
DANCERS smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this JADE RING you ask, with 73
points and a 19-11-2 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the JADE MOUNTAIN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la
bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

teaching ONE, AND you got the title this time. It makes me so mad, I almost feel
like practicing. -- Jade Ring
P.S. Almost.
Jaguar Jon -- You're a mean cat, I'll say that for you. -- Korto Lu
P.S. And why I phrased it as a potential compliment is beyond me!
Rod Dedeux -- Ha. I did not spare the Rod. -- Sunset Thunder
Cheryl Miller -- You'd better not quit your day job at the soda fountain. -- Tiger
Lily
Drat these standbys, they don't teach worth beans. -- Kastenmar
P.S. And beans aren't worth much.
