DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I don't know what you had to go and LOSE for, Grimmie! It isn't like I know
what to SAY to people. I mean, I never studied this stuff. As if! I'm not an in-
tell-ect-you-al, even if I am an elf. We aren't all the same, you know! That would
be totally boring. I mean, some elves aren't even blond! But they're mostly guys,
so it's okay. Of course, you're a blond, but that's okay, too, because you're a
Fratsfan. That isn't as good as being an elf, but it's close. And you're tall.
Tall is good for a guy. So you shouldn't have lost. Remember that next time.
Well, I have to go and do, you know, some stuff. A new hairdo for the publicity
sketches. Nail polish, I hear there's a new brand out that doesn't chip even in the
arena. Stuff like that.
Bye.
Blonde Billie
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of LIN
TIRIAN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. PBA turned their 3-0-0 turn into a
3rd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on
hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see DANNI ROGERS win a fight
and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, DANNI ROGERS beat MARYANITA II and MARYANITA
II lost 13 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life,
LIN TIRIAN may be getting bland, as BLONDE BILLIE stays top dog in the city. The
Lost Hope Inn, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this
stuff? From LIN TIRIAN's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. LIN
TIRIAN, I am losing what little hope I had in you. SAND DANCERS the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act
of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was THE FELLOWSHIP. Ha ha ha ha!
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, IRLON was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch
that ego swell, sports fans.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad
to see GABRIELLE REECE and GIRLS X3 at The Lost Hope Inn tonight celebrating their
bloodfeud victory over APPLE-TREE. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what
brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
What does the LIN TIRIAN arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of LIN TIRIAN. I feel much better now. Glad to see the
back of this place-- Snide Clemens

Terminotter III -- I shouldn't have to fight a stupid animal! It's unreasonable, I'm
an elf, animals all listen to me and do what I say. But I told you to surrender, and
you didn't. This is against nature. It must STOP. -- Irlon
Five + Five -- Is this a trick question? -- One-Eye Teo
Boxwood -- So long as the box isn't a coffin, I can go along with it. For a while,
anyway. -- Jayne the Ripper

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
