DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am back for my third turn in a row as Lyratilan's Duelmaster, and fourth time on
Lyratilan's throne overall. Snooks Eaglin took another shot at me. Snooks, you gave it
a good run and lasted twice as long as the turn before, but all that armor is not
going to save you when you don't hit back. You could have at least taught me a few
more skills....
I still don't have a winning record, but I am close. I remember the days when my
record was 3-10-0. Quite an improvement since then. I seem to have trouble getting my
challenges through. I tried last turn to give Big Mojo Elem a shot at the title, but
the Unknown Spymaster reports that Gone Country was the most avoided team -- with The
Blues 25 leading the way. I am going to try to give Big Mojo Elem another shot this
turn. It's only fair.
Congrats to graduates Baby Face Foster and Susan Murphy. I hope that you both go out
with a bang--maybe test out the Dark Arena in light of your immortality. I hope to be
back next turn for a fourth turn in a row. See y'all!
-- Alan Jackson, Gone Country
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
LYRATILAN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, THE BLUES 25, since
GONE COUNTRY took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Now let's all
watch GONE COUNTRY's heads swell from their 4-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big
shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see AETHER
FLOW win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, AETHER FLOW beat PEARL and
PEARL lost 21 points. You're breakin' my heart. ALAN JACKSON challenged BIG MOJO
ELEM for LYRATILAN's Title this turn, and guess what happened? And if variety is the
spice of life, LYRATILAN may be getting bland, as ALAN JACKSON stays top dog in the
city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of
these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. LYRATILAN, I am losing what little hope I had in you.
NEON GRATITUDE the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And
who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It
was THE BLUES 25. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, CHANELLE was this
turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only
shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in LYRATILAN to get a drink than The Piper's
Rest! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have
too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste this one in your scrapbooks,
you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
