DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Unfair! This is only my 4th DM Crown. Why do I have to leave? This is my
arena. I feel at home here. There rest of life is a mere Illusion. I feel cheated.
But before I go, I will give you a run down about me:
12-8-10-21-18(+1)-5-11 Lunger
Mode; good damage; normal endurance
Admaster, Master, 2 adexes, expert (no rating in decise)
Guesses at faves: LO/High, very high, initiative
20/74/4 with LO; 5/30/2 with SS
Learn rate = 2.28 skills per fight
I am truly more than an illusion.
Illusionist
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 JOE LIEBERMAN, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing
CHELBAGHEERA like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in
the top ten was MEAT HOOK, who dropped 15 points after a disappointing (to say the
least) bout with MIRIAL ADAMANT. Well, everybody's pal ILLUSIONIST moved hers record
to 15-3-0 by defeating STRAY CAT in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 10
recognition points. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this
stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the LIN TIRIAN arena. Did
you hear that PROJECT: MAYHEM was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of PROJECT: MAYHEM's warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you
who like math, try this one: PROJECT: MAYHEM + Weapons That go Boom = MAGIC ARTISTS
+ Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, SHANA THE KNIFE would
be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win. In a touching
display by a 'touched' warrior, TAIL SPIN went after TYLER DURDEN, who was higher by
25 points. Well, when the dust settled, TAIL SPIN was bested by TYLER DURDEN.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. 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

PERSONAL ADS
Shana The Knife -- I knew you were mine the minute I saw you. -- Illusionist
Quicklime -- What!? I cannot believe that outcome! You must be a very, very dark
demon! -- Necromancer
Khalhums Dwarf & Captured Orc & Venomous Concubine -- Thank you for the good times.
-- Abjurer and Medicine Man and Conjurer
I am Consortium affiliated, Cadmus. I guess that makes two arenas for you! --
Houdini (Magic Artists)
Rippers are HOT! Four to six TC's in the last four tournaments. Mannequin leads the
way. -- Houdini, who knows all
Cadmus -- You are too kind. Thanks for the comment on the record. -- Houdini (Magic
Artists)
Mirial -- You heap fun. Make good squaw. -- Medicine Man
Meat Hook -- Thanks! (for the challenge) -- Conjuror
P.S. There goes that Cadmus trying to ruin our fine record on which he commented.
(sigh) Turnabout is fair play, they say.
Stray Cat -- Looks like Shana neutered you also! -- Houdini
Tyler -- A riposte! My kingdom for a riposte! -- Stray Cat
Mirial -- What a lovely, lyrical name. You realize, of course, that you would be the
first to die in a slasher film. -- Meat Hook
Shana -- Even a three-time duelmaster can't get no respect! Keep it up and there's
gonna' be a catfight in the mud pit. Wouldn't Houdini love that! Anyway, I'm glad
you let me live. -- Stray Cat
Deelar -- A spotless win. Too bad we can't dance on a nice, linoleum floor. -- Mr.
Clean
Necromancer -- In a rock/paper/scissors thing, I think quicklime beats necromancy. --
Quicklime
All -- I miss Neon. A class act. A toast! To absent friends! -- Cadmus
Anybody -- I don't remember the graduation requirements. WOF recently cited 17
political points but, what about minimum numbers for fights and wins? Thanks. --
Cadmus
Ripper Fans -- Here's one to watch: Bronwyn, two-time duelmistress of 82, will
graduate soon with bonuses of +3 att, +3 der, +4 rip and favorites of mod/mod, LS,
lunge and riposte. At six feet tall, she brings a Jim Morrison lyric to mind:
"Build me a woman, make her ten feet tall. Don't make her ugly, don't make her
small." One does what one can. -- Cadmus
Illusionist -- But...how can you be THERE when I am SURE I saw you over THAT way? --
Shana the Knife
Meat Hook -- What? I'm not getting this, it's all WRONG. I couldn't have LOST,
could I? -- Mirial Adamant and Confused
Mr. Clean -- Just what I'd EXPECT of an orc. No subtlety at all. -- Deelar Marion
Convicted Thief? That's insulting. -- Chelbagheera
Cadmus -- This is what happens when you go giving people advice on ripper strategies!
-- Jorja
Re Mirial, she's nuts. Multiple personalities. -- Jorja
Our congratulations to the Illusionist, if that is a real Invite he's got there. --

All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
