DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I made it! Duelmaster! I can only say my columns will be longer, but probably not
much longer than Justine's.
Eustace commented that my style is becoming more common lately. and has been
noted in other arenas. Well, I kinda like the "fact" that we can give aimers a run in
their early career in the arenas. Some people give us a bad rap because they do not
understand us. Others listen to their blubber. Meanwhile we win away.
Looks like a skilled crew below me that want this DM Throne. Hopefully I can hold
on to it. Check back next time and we shall see.
-- Gatchel, Perry County DMI
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in LIN
TIRIAN. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Say
good-bye to PERRY COUNTY, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the
SAND DANCERS stable. Hey everybody, watch out for PICKLED CAPERS, who flew up 16
points in the rankings after mashing TAINTED SHUGENJA like a melon. Keep your eye on
this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. TAINTED
SHUGENJA was overcame by PICKLED CAPERS and drops 5 points. In front of all the
crowds, GUSLAV THORFIN took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two
weeks. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at
that location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad HOWLIN CASE? Big bad HOWLIN
CASE. Big bad HOWLIN CASE. LIN TIRIAN's afraid of the big bad HOWLIN CASE. Tra la
la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause PERRY
COUNTY beats feet every time HOWLIN CASE smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well dang
howdy, but if challenges were votes, ISAWA TADAKA would be president. Although it
may be a contest he doesn't want to win. In a touching display by a 'touched'
warrior, SHIBA TSUKUNE went after LEATHERBOUND, who was higher by 20 points. Well,
when the dust settled, SHIBA TSUKUNE was subdued by LEATHERBOUND.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in LIN TIRIAN have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
