DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail Lapur,
It has been a career...that is for sure. Slow learning really destroyed any chance of
me becoming one of the true immortals that folks don't forget...but another warrior
will come along soon to replace me. And I will be forgotten.
In the interim I will challenge a dark arena beast to truly test my mettle. I wil be
attempting to double our team kill total! Have a great career!!
-- Nobilify
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met, Lapurians! This week we honor Nobilify, who is invitee number 14
for the year and surprisingly only Destitute Noble's 4th from Lapur. With Nobilify
having some tourney experience, little is know about him other than his recent 2 turns
as Duelmaster. Yeah, yeah, I don't feel like researching hundreds of newsletters, sue
me. All Hail Lord Protector Nobilify. Now let's move onto this week's fights and see
who will take over the top spot.
Fifteen teams in the ranks and no new ones, but COVEY XIX took a week off and Jorja
and her CARDOW HUNTERS bid a final farewell. Salute! Now let's see, Wow 27 fights on
the commission list. One was the exiting Duelmaster and Lord Protector Nobilify taking
his chances by torch light, unfortunately the River Monster was too much of a
challenge and the Isle clerics will have to revive him. The remaining fights are 10
challenges and 16 random match-ups.
In team news, Destitute Noble continues his impressive run since returning with a 4-1-
0 and jumps from 5th to take over the top spot. Dropping to 2nd is Visionist and his
Mid Earth crew after a dismal 1-4-0. Rounding out the top 3 is Purple Sage and his
Black Kelts, who surged from 7th after a 3-2-0. Lastly, who does the arena dread
fighting this week? The Most Avoided team goes to Vlad and his Almost Exactly toadies,
who managed 9 avoids. They were followed closely by Buffalo Trace, who got 8 avoids.
Too many teams to mention got 3-5 avoids.
Sorry guys, but I am pressed for time today, so no Challenge fights this week. But I
do have time for my "Fight of the Week(s)" or in this case, "Upsets of the Week." They
go to...
Oh wait, no manager name yet for ROAD FOOD. Hmm okay, umm, 'til I hear otherwise, your
manager name is Take Out.
POPPY POPPINS of BLACK KELTS fought CANDY GINGER of ROAD FOOD, with Purple Sage's
bursting warrior being overcome by Take Out's sweet warrior in a 2 minute upset
conflict.
TRUNKGRUB of WOODVALE FALLS fought SHRUB of LIBATIONS 6, with G's bushy warrior being
savagely upset by the Barkeep's newbie fruity warrior in a popular 4 minute gruesome
duel.
Other arena notes...
This week's favorite is ELHAD, who was made famous losing to LOPUNNY.
Also CANDY GINGER gained 20 points from defeating POPPY POPPINS.
STOMPER ROOM's match with MAEVE MANIAC caused him lose 12 points.
The most popular style is Lunging. The most successful style is Total Parry.
Lastly, we bid a final farewell to Lord Protector Nobilify, though he hasn't enjoyed
his farewell much, and on that sad note I bring my report to a close. 'Til next time.

Buncha Rumdums! Not avoiding me? Shame, shame. My pleasure! Bwahahahaha. -- the Bloke
Try Maxxer, stick it in your ear! I hope Franklin is a Hokie flop! -- Coffin
Grakus -- Safe travels. The Isle's better with you there. -- G of Woodvale Falls
AI Overlord -- How quaint You hallucinate your own greatness. Lord over me? I think
not. -- Proudberry of Woodvale Valls
Mythya -- Clath dithmythed! -- Vinethtone of Woodvale College
Fries -- Tempting, but no, I really shouldn't. -- Nunhorn of Woodvale Weight Watchers
Arenamaster -- Only 28 fights from 17 teams? Is that because newcomers get clobbered
by veteran managers and then ragequit? (Or because dishonorable fighters cower away
from bloodfeuds?) Maybe assign arenas based on managers' fight experience to "level
the arena sands"? -- G of Just-Wondering Falls
Eoghan -- But Road Food is a brand new team, so how could they have "hidden tourney
experience," as you suspect? -- G of Woodvale Detectives
Benchmark -- Why fight? Let's make a deal! -- Trunkgrub of Woodvale Co.
Dariel -- Nearly had you at first there, imagine that! -- Greenrobyn of Woodvale
Dreamers
Bloke -- Coffin challenged up! Better write in and get the strategy entry error
corrected cause there ain't no way you challenged up. I'm sure the Commission will
get right on erasing that embarrassing loss and restore your immaculate, craven
record. -- Hugs, Vlad
Taloncyclovir -- Well fought. Farewell Lapur. -- Grakus
Briar -- Impressive.I am glad I survived. -- Daviel
1.75L -- Not today big fella. -- Elhad
Salazzle -- Sorry, I lost my head at the end. -- Imgur

Congrats Nobilify on your invite to the Isle. -- Visionist and Mid Earth
