Greetings duel fans!

     It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extrordinairre and supreme master of 
insinuations.  Speaking of insinuations, not that I have heard anything about Tagan 
wearing women's clothes or anything but people do say that he has been buying up a lot 
of lingerie from the local clothes merchants lately.  I'm sure it must be for someone 
else...I mean a tough guy like him, nahhhh, unthinkable!  In case you hadn't guessed, 
Tagan is indeed still on top, once again edging out Reggie Jackson in a 1 minute crowd 
pleaser.
     Speaking of crowd pleasers, THANATOS reigns supreme as the undisputed popularity 
leader amongst fight goers.  Now you may ask, "Why is a guy who dresses in black 
robes, is as pale as, well, death, and goes around carrying a sickle so damned 
popular, anyway?"  And it would be a good question to ask.  So I asked it.  
It seems that Thanatos got ahead by starting a subtly veiled campaign of terror.  You 
know how the scam works.  First he let it be known that as death's living incarnation 
on this plane he had an "in" with Ahringol.  Then he started telling people that 
whenever someone yelled "come on Thanatos you can do it!" he would add one week to 
their life expectancy.  To top it all off he started passing out bumper stickers that 
said "Choose life for yourself, back Thanatos".  What do I think of it all?  Well, 
actually I think Thanatos is a REALLY great guy and HE DEFINITLY DESERVES to be 
popularity leader.  REALLY.
     As for other snippets of arena gossip I hear Teetotaler has threatened to "fall 
off the wagon" if he slips one more notch in the rankings and drops out of the top 
bracket.  This would not be good considering the already limited supply of available 
alchahol here.  Rumor also has it that Nameless Took really does have a name but that 
it is so silly that he is embarrassed to have it known around town.  You know the kind 
of name I'm talking about, like "Wee Willie" or "Snookums".  Anyone who can find out 
his real name and tell me will earn a drink of his favorite swamp brew.
     Well that's it for this week.  Till next we meet please remember that while a 
tall tale can humiliate even the largest of warriors a short story stands little 
chance.

Now forming the CONFEDERATION of INDEPENDANT MANAGERS ASSOCIATION, or CIMA.  This is 
more of a club rather than an alliance.  It is designed as a neutral place where 
independant mgrs of all managing styles and experience can meet to exchange 
DuelMasters Information, and make friends with other Independant mgrs from all over 
the world of DM.

There are no ranks, titles, rules or other such stuff, because CIMA gives the 
independant mgr the benifits of an alliance without giving up his Independant Manager 
status.  CIMA gives independant mgrs a source to gain information about bettering his 
skill as a manager, and at the same time finding and making friends with other 
independant mgrs.

Independant mgrs that sign up with CIMA will receive a monthly newsletter that will 
have articles and other stuff written by other managers, as well as a list of other 
independant mgrs and the DMs they play in.  CIMA also has a web page, and an email 
list available to independant mgrs who sign up with CIMA.  And for the price of 
postage, members will recieve CIMA's INDEPENDANT MGR'S SURVIVAL GUIDE, that has skill 
charts, weapons charts, DM articles, and other DM secrets to aid the Independant 
Manager.

Independant mgrs make up the largest and most formidable force in the world of DM.  
And CIMA will be available to all of them.

For more Information about the Confederation of Independant Managers Association, 
contact SIR JESSIE JEST,  by DIPLO to DM 65 the KILLER PUNS(357) or DM 102 The Joker's 
WILD. My email address is 103260.3347@compuserve.com  The web site for the CIMA is:

Greetings all fellow managers -- The manager fromerly known as Otto has changed his 
name to Mose.  I'm doing this because many people in real life have started to call me 
by my manager name.  Well, my real nickname is "Mose," and I want it to stay that way.  
It should be pronounced like "Moses" without the "s" on the end.  So NAIMT, please 
remember to change my manager name in your list!  Thanks, everybody! -- Mose, mgr 
many, many teams in DM 18, 28, 31, 42, 45, 71, 74, 104, 105, and 106.

SOS, Mayday, Mayday!  Lyratilan DM 25 is going down!  As of turn 284 we had four 
active teams!  We need your help to stop the spyreporter from insulting our mothers' 
long johns!  So all of you out ther reactivate your team or start a new one and help 
Lyratilan live to see turn 300!  Thanks! -- Haplo of Naked Samurai

     We are planning to hold three Bloodgames this year.  One will be held at the 
Winter F-t-F, one will be held at the Summer F-t-F, and one will be a Mail-In, 
starting this summer.  I anticipate one Bloodgames arena at each of the tournaments, 
and two arenas for the Mail-In.  No Bloodgames teams may be proxied at the tournament; 
only those managers present at the F-t-F may participate in that Bloodgames arena.  
     If enough of you are interested, we will also have a two-week turnaround Mail-In 
Bloodgames for those managers who have slower mail service.  If you are interested in 
this, please send a note to Customer Service and we'll put you on the list.  (If you 
would prefer to play in a three-week turnaround Bloodgames, let us know that, too, 
although I suspect we won't have enough people interested in this to be able to offer 
it.  We'll see.)
     Bloodgames rollups are available now, for the regular $10 fee.  Just drop a note 
to Customer Service, and we'll send you one.  These rollups are good for all three of 
these Bloodgames, so if you can't attend the Winter F-t-F at the last minute, you can 
use that team for either the Summer F-t-F or Mail-In Bloodgames.  However, you can 
only use each rollup once, and you may only have one team in each Bloodgames arena.  
     See your Bloodgames announcement for more details.
