DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Whitey D'Eagle, how do your poor hands feel. After pounding on big old shields
for 2 whole minutes it must have made you very sad and sore. My guess is that if
your manager had not cheaped out and bought you a better longsword you would have
won. I'll be unhappy if I have to fight you again.
Much like the Coach, you are pretty sneaking about teaching useful skills. I
thank you for my one and only attack skill. I vow to never use it and to make sure
of that I'll reduce my offensive activity even further.
Who to fight next turn? A scum match with the good Small Tall or getting beat
up by Contact Bridge. Oh the joy of anticipation.
Bad Bad Basso
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for TAMARIND URLIK,
who flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing ALTAR BOY like a melon. Keep
your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was MELANIE OBERN,
who dropped 11 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with STEEL MUSE.
Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was OLDIES' CONTRACT
BRIDGE, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by BAD BAD BASSO. 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 PUNY ORC PELOTON? Big bad PUNY
ORC PELOTON. Big bad PUNY ORC PELOTON. TELORINTHE's afraid of the big bad PUNY ORC
PELOTON. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one: PUNY ORC
PELOTON + Weapons That go Boom = OLDIES + Avoid City. And who is this SAM TALL you
ask, with 120 points and a 22-35-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
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
Coach -- 9-5 or 9-4 or 10-5? I can't believe that I've won 5 matches against you.
How do you like my strategy of paying off the Arenamaster to avoid random match ups
against you? -- slugbait
P.S. I'm going with 10-5 as a way of splitting the difference.
Cornelius -- You sealed my fate and I'm off to the DA. slugbait is such a fickle
manager. -- Postal Turncoat
Olovor Paris -- If at first you don't succeed, get lucky. -- Sky High Omerta
Steel Muse -- A bit surprised that I got the jump. I don't think it will happen
again unless I use the juice again. -- Roid Floyd
Rook -- You got your wish; I went away. Permanently. -- Circle K
Dimetreas -- Welsome back to you and your Nonsuch House. -- Coach
Silverback -- I was glad to see you back, too. (wink) -- Sport
Fratsfa Slave -- Ahhhhh! Somebody I can beat! -- Custodian (Still looking for that
first political point after 26 fights.)
Melanie Obern -- You have been such a friend for me. When I needed a partner, you
were always there. Without you, I wouldn't have all these master points. -- Contract
Bridge (needing two more to graduate)
Tamarind Ulrik -- Perhaps I was at my best in out meeting. I was also lucky. Either
way, I will pray for us both. -- Altar Boy
Health. Humility. Honor? -- Coach
Contract Bridge -- Next time, I'm bringing a lawyer to examine the small print. --
Melanie Obern
Circle K -- But... what am I going to do without a Circle K on the corner? Where
will I go when the blind munchies hit? Seriously, you don't expect me to go into a
Pic-Quik, do you? -- Sam Tall
P.S. It *was* your challenge. And you know what non-immortal aimers do best....
Sky High Omerta -- You should have lost that one. After all, *I* was the tall one in
that match! -- Olovor Paris
Altar Boy -- And there you were, with butter not melting in your mouth or anything.
Horrid. -- Tamarind Urlik
Rook -- Just a fancy crow, right? -- Petro Salm
