DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, Rod, I have to say that I was *not* seeking your death. I was just trying
to get you to S T O P. Eleven minutes is ridiculous. Besides, as a Lord Protector,
your death would have been worthless.
Korto Lu
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 HELEN, who flew up
15 points in the rankings after mashing TALK-TO-DEATH like a melon. Keep your eye on
this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. KASTENMAR was
overcame by LADY SCORN and drops 14 points. Our Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to
LADY SCORN, BUT KORTO LU is still the Duelmaster because he has the most recognition
points! 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at
that location.
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 GREATS OF TROY, 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 KIWI CONNECTIONS beats feet every time GREATS OF
TROY smiles at them. Try farming, eh?
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! And who needs the Dark Arena if
you've got BRASELL around? This week he decorated his armor with CASSANDRA. Who's
next? Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems
on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in JADE MOUNTAIN have
no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make
some tracks. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got
you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

Downer -- I can't see that you really needed that. -- Jandina
Fried Khalani -- Bad for your arteries, isn't it? Although, hmm, with jalapenos to
counteract the fat, it might work. -- Mondekker

Some managers have attempted to send personals and columns to hal, and hal has

specifically, but for best success, send PLAIN TEXT (dot txt) in the body of the

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free
airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 22
before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.) Look for the tournament info
sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to
it and that we will see you there!
