DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, hello Rocketts 11 to the list. Things up here haven't changed. The Beer
cans and dust are still here. One week here and I will be gone. Well, Mad Loden,
it's been nice to see you go too.
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for TOE PAL, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing BOXWOOD
like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk
out on the sands. BOXWOOD was bested by TOE PAL and drops 14 points. Well here's a
duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! BLANK made a challenge
against O PAUL this week. In front of all the crowds, O PAUL took the Duelmaster's
crown for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away,
but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the LIN TIRIAN arena. Was it
guts or an overtaxed mental capacity that had SPLIT challenge up 40 points in the
rankings to take on MOONSTONE? Some advice to SPLIT. Please don't challenge up 40
points to fight a 9-3-0 fighter like, say MOONSTONE. (Okay, so it may be a little
late).
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Here's some advice: warriors with little
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the LIN TIRIAN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown

PERSONAL ADS
Blank -- Loden's already gone, but I say to you, "Good fight." I am glad you hold
the throne on a win, and not merely because you're the highest-ranked active fighter.
-- Jorja
Martin Blank -- If you're being John Cusak, why is your name Martin? Shouldn't it be
John C. Blank? -- Irla
Rocky -- (growling) Oh, it's an Orcs vs. Dwarves thing with you, is it? Us Dwarves
might have some last words to say about that. -- Wallis
Untouchable -- All right already, I didn't touch you! Are you satisfied? -- One-Eye
Teo
Martin Blank -- How do you get the rollup on all the R.S.? -- Elderberry
Split a Blank -- To M. Blank we get the Lungdre rollup. -- Elderberry
19 August 2003
Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari),
no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening.
While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City.
Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all
gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they
had masks, who cares.
Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in
Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by
those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the
same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many
years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by
pests.
Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own
little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except
to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you
choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs.
Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed.
Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents
will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target
those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home.
So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous
Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and
bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different.
Defenders of Aruak
