DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I know. I know. I am not supposed to be here. On the throne. Duelmaster. Top Dog.
The Best. But I am. Just because Clint was greedy and unsharing by having beaten me
all three times before was no reason to think I wasn't going to smack him down And I
did. Smack!!! After all, he has bad blood and I don't. Just ask Zelda.
So here we are. I really wanted to fight Rumpus, the tweet that just graduated
from here. I like easy wins, you know. But, what the heck, I took the tougher road and
battled Clint, and I am glad of it. Hear me out. Call me out. If you have the
guts......
-- Link, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of LIN TIRIAN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team SAND DANCERS was
unseated this week as YUPPIE SHELTER moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-2-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at FAMOUS ARCHERS'
guildhouse after a 0-3-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 7th. Dark
Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness
how this week HOWLIN CASE went 2-2-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. DENTED caught the
eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested MAR-A-LAGO and was
awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, PANIC
ROOM put down TIMMY TANGO, causing him to lose 10 points of recognition in the
process. This time out MELEE made its bid for the throne as it challenged LINK in an
all out contest of skill for possession of the title! The city has turned out in
honor of MELEE, for with its arena victory it may now lay claim to the highest
position in the city! No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has
gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city LIN TIRIAN. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. HOWLIN CASE is feared. This much I can say. Methinks more
than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week
avoiding HOWLIN CASE. Indeed it was FAMOUS ARCHERS.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a
rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani
Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Rumpus, bloodfeud you? Fight you? Why would you want another loss? Besides, I think 50
fights was enough in this one-horse town. -- William Tell ( BTW, I had 10+ DMs; how
many did you have, Little One.)
Clint, fooled you, huh? -- Link, DMI
Yuppie Shelter, that was just downright crappy the way you treated us. Yuppies are so
self-centered and uncaring! -- Apollo and Hawkeye
Health. Humility. Honor. Thwack! -- Arrowhead
We salute the tourney particpants. And we congratulate Rumpus and William Tell. --
the Sand Dancers
The Dangerous Criminal always wins. Unfair. -- Avril Hound
I don't agree with the Hound often but today I do. -- Timmy Tango
At least *I*, no doubt due to clean living and buying a drink for the arena steward,
drew an easy Standby. -- Tinker Samuel
The orc is actually fairly easy. And also doesn't teach. Have standbys giving up
teaching? -- Justine
Fifth fight against a standby for this team, and I lost. One skill. -- Eugene
Jorja said that by her system, she should write a spotlight for this arena, because
another player wrote personals, but she doesn't want to. Can't think of anything to
say. Another time. -- Justine
