DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Clearly I have been unleashed! That's three Duelmaster Titles in a row. Watch out for
me; I am big and bold and engulfing.
Blame it on The Bible. Blame it on Global Warming. Blame it on Zeus. Or blame it on
The Consortium. Man's ability to rationalize is infinite.
Make it easy on yourself. Go ahead and avoid me.
-- Floods, DMIV
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Nothing is certain in ZENSU, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--DIRTY DOZENS.
Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as
DIRTY DOZENS can attest... TMM EXPERIMENTS 103 had cause to celebrate, after HENCE
MODE got 24 points by beating RICE 80. MOOR PALE certainly had a baffled expression
on his face, after losing to CALCULATED RISK and losing 15 points in the process!
Duelmaster FLOODS from PANDORA'S BOX is going for the gold, as it challenged DREAMS
WORK's HUMPTY DUMPTY. Ooh, the excitement! Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster
were disappointed by HUMPTY DUMPTY, of DREAMS WORK, who despite a 9-10-0 couldn't
overcome ZENSU's Number 1. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls
and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in
DIRTY DOZENS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, THE SHIRE scurried away from DIRTY DOZENS. Oh,
the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral
hygiene? Whatever it is, MOOR PALE is the most challenged warrior. Mismatched by 9
points, KEN beat DELUGE. Is this really worth noting? I thought DELUGE showed great
skill and promise when it was bested by KEN. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have
fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in ZENSU is the highlight of my life. My fingers tire
and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable
character. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
