DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings Warriors of Lyratiran, your humble guitar strumming striker is back for
another turn as Duelmaster. We need to spice things up a bit in Lyratiran - only 7
teams, and one didn't fight last turn. Hopefully, we can encourage some new teams to
join this arena so that there is some new competition. I am also hoping we encourage
folks to chat it up a bit more in the Personal Correspondence.
I trid to bloody up Aether Flow a bit last turn for killing my compadres, but he gave
up before I had the chance to do much. This turn, I am going to try my luck again
against Aether Flow, but with a diffent weapon taht I want to test out. Good luck
Aether Flow -- you will need it. Hopefully, you can teach me a bit more this turn.
-- George Strait
Gone Country
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of LYRATILAN. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. DARQUE AGES had
cause to celebrate, after HERETIC'S FORK got 24 points by beating SUSAN MURPHY. A
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 14
points to BIG MOJO ELEM. (Discrete enough, PAUL STOCK?) The arena was more crowded
than usual this time, as BABY FACE FOSTER faced LYRATILAN's Duelmaster. GEORGE
STRAIT successfully staved off a grab for the roses by BABY FACE FOSTER of THE BLUES
25. Does LYRATILAN have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who's the team
that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt
to me.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of GONE COUNTRY, alone and unchallenged. The
warriors of GONE COUNTRY found their efforts at combat frustrated as THE BLUES 25
apparently had more important things to do than fight. Is it charming personality?
Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, ALAN JACKSON is the
most challenged warrior.
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Citizens of
LYRATILAN, be sure to settle your debts with BRAZEN BULL of DARQUE AGES. He's
relocating to the Dark Arena and has other things on his mind! Sober up, young
warriors, and take note of DIAMOND's fate! MALARKEY of WRATHMEN 25-73 handily did
her in. Experience counts for something on LYRATILAN's sands. Ask not a spymaster
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious
stupor.
All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Do not
despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Full Proof -- That was a humbling defeat. I need to do better. -- Garth Brooks
Malarkey -- My manager also manages The Republicans in Solven and Primus. I
challenged you last turn because of your name -- I was wondering if that was a
reference to Joe Biden's favorite word. I hope not, but you definately got the better
of me. -- Cody Johnson
Arenamaster -- Did y'all find Veteran Mercenary down yonder on the Chattahoochee?
What is he a "veteran" of? Seemed mor like a "novice mercenary" to me. -- Alan
Jackson
