SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Practice pays for KATNISS, who pummelled ARC D'WOOF, to pocket 16
points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, M. CHARDINEE was winsome, after
beating SKIPPIT and seeing her lose 2 points. Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster
were disappointed by LIL D'FIELD, of SAND DANCERS, who despite a 9-8-0 couldn't
overcome LIN TIRIAN's Number 1. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable
walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of THE QUAM SQUAD, alone and unchallenged. Like
a pup with its tail between its legs, FAMOUS ARCHERS scurried away from THE QUAM
SQUAD. Oh, the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and EYELENE is it
right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't SAND DANCERS proud!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not a spymaster
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious
stupor.
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an
overtaxed simile, I now bid LIN TIRIAN farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Fracas! I love a good fracas! A salute to the again DM. -- Arrowhead
Maybe he will even write a DM Column? He owes us. Duelmaster Fracas, what say you? --
Arrowhead
Yes! Green Arrow did return from The Mailer alive! Yes! The 4-3-1 sets him up
perfectly for The Arlington FTF. I guess y'all will not see him here in Lin Tirian for
a while. Lucky you. -- Arrowhead
Bill Board, what would I ever do without you? -- William Tell
Eyelene, now come on! It hurts my feelings when you do things like that. It does. --
Susan (sniffling as she speaks)
Cult Member and Oski Noble, thanks for the practice. It helps us get in shape for our
movie presence. -- Lara Croft and Katniss
Jorja, are you still with us? --Arrowhead
Thwack! (The Famous Archer Motto.) -- Arrowhead
Fracas -- Ah, let's just... Skippit
I didn't really tell the dwarf he was a fine opponent, that was someone being
politically correct. -- Lil d'Field
Belial Ernesto -- If you hadn't howled in my ear, I would've creamed you. -- Arc
d'Woof
William Tell -- (heavy sigh) We keep on mirroring each other's records, as in
"getting it backward." Still, you're kinda fun. If only you were female.... -- Bill
Board
Susan Pevensie -- You're too tall to be a real dwarf, and you should probably have
been noted as a golem. No gender and all. You're just perverse, you know? -- Eyelene
Arrowhead -- Ah? The whole tourney business scrambled my brain, such as it is. --
Jorja
P.S. But very glad to have someone to talk to here.

From: The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To: All Managers
In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately. Managers may
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission. Each warrior may have
up to 15 favorite sayings. Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch,
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long. For any questions, please contact the
Gladiatorial Commission.
TOURNAMENT PRIZE CLARIFICATION: SPRING 2018 MAIL-IN
The prize for this most recent tournament was a Clone / Twin prize:
One potion, which when applied on any Natural Warrior, dead or alive, which will
either make a Clone or Twin of that warrior at birth. A clone is one exact copy of
the warrior; a Twin may be a different style and will be rolled ten times and the best
shall be chosen. The new warrior may be added to any team. A Natural Warrior is
defined as a warrior that was not created with the use or a prize, nor has ever had a
prize used on it at any time in the past. Warriors may be cloned only once by their
own manager, and once by another. The owner of the warrior that is cloned or twinned
must give permission. Please remember, you must use all prizes within six months of
the tourney when they were won.
TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE
As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance. This
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!
Team Maintenance: This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every
turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will
fight the turn they arrive. In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have
multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.
(The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had
their initial strategy input.)
Character Maintenance: This will cause only that warrior to fight every
turn. If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on
Character Maintenance.
In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if
you wish. The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not
carry through from turn to turn. These sections are only used on the turn they are
entered. In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a
strategy sheet each time.
One other thing to remember about maintenance: Maintenance is not something
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys). In order to add or remove
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service. If you
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads. Please, please, please put it on a
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top. If you don't,
well, you can imagine.
Thanks for your time. Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
