Duelmaster's Column Jarck Mysir Duelmaster of Kati-Tei Team: Killers The sand remembers blood better than names. The sand remembers Mardi Gras and his history lesson in his last column. Today, it remembers Mardis Gras-thirteen wins, four losses, and not enough steel to stop me. Today it defines Mardis Gras as "pushing up daisies, establishing his place as worm food, Mardi Gras in a casket." His blade was too slow, his style non-existent and thus, I cut him down, and the throne is mine once more. I don't take this lightly. Six kills in twenty victories. Thirty percent of my wins end in my opponent's death. No wonder we are the most avoided team. My success is not talent. It is not luck. It is who I am. I was born in chains, a murderer by choice, a fighter by decree. Now I'm the monster they promised I could become. But before I go further, I need to correct myself. Last time I wore this crown, I spoke out of turn. I cast judgment on the Killers-a stable that is not mine to define. That belongs to Shocking Toad, my manager. He forged this team in fire long before I ever touched the sand. His voice speaks for the Killers. Mine is the sword that carries out his will. I won't confuse the two again. So here I stand, Duelmaster once more. Not through politics, not through accident, but through the only currency that matters here: blood. Kati-Tei, you want to stop me? Then step forward. Swing your steel. Aim for my throat. But remember this-30% of those who try don't just lose, they die. -- Jarck Mysir Duelmaster of Kati-Tei Murderer. Slayer. Servant of Shocking Toad. SPY REPORT Good day, in KATI-TEI a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. NEON MYSTICS stable has parlayed this turn's 2-2-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 4th place. Good work, guys! Defending his title for another turn, JARCK MYSIR kept KATI-TEI's warrior, KHALHUMS DWARF, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Welcome Wench until they win. Maybe? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the KILLERS stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on KATI-TEI, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided KILLERS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was DEATH'S ARMY. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that SPELLFOIL from NEON MYSTICS was KATI-TEI's most challenged warrior this turn. Well now, what do you expect when someone like VOODOO from NAWLINS RU2 challenges down 28 points to fight DRAVOK of KILLERS? We're not surprised to hear that VOODOO bested DRAVOK, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why NAWLINS RU2 made such a challenge. In a brave attempt, I DRANK WHAT?! from DEATH'S ARMY challenged up 22 points to fight DUCT MAN from the CONSTRUCTION stable. I DRANK WHAT?! perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he subdued DUCT MAN and ended up with 66 recognition points. We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. I like this place, KATI-TEI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in KATI-TEI, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in KATI-TEI again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JARCK MYSIR 1128 21 12 6 129 KILLERS (42) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME UNDEAD CAT WOMAN 5567 12 15 0 83 DEATH'S ARMY (392) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME I DRANK WHAT?! 5645 6 1 0 66 DEATH'S ARMY (392) JASO 4570 7 4 0 63 PHILANTHROPISTS (409) -OGLCU 4567 6 3 0 59 PHILANTHROPISTS (409) -GHOST PEPPER 5528 7 3 1 58 FURIOUS FOOD (485) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DUCT MAN 2190 8 7 0 51 CONSTRUCTION (186) LANDSCAPER 2189 7 3 1 45 CONSTRUCTION (186) BROKEN BRAKE LINE 5607 9 6 0 38 DEATH'S ARMY (392) DUSTMITE 5628 8 5 0 37 THE LOSERS (476) VOODOO 5639 4 2 0 34 NAWLINS RU2 (481) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FIRE STING 5613 7 9 0 33 TEMERE (491) PELICAN 5615 5 2 0 33 NAWLINS RU2 (481) SPELLFOIL 5638 3 5 0 27 NEON MYSTICS (489) DREAMSTONE 5600 6 8 0 26 NEON MYSTICS (489) TROLLEY 5623 5 4 0 25 NAWLINS RU2 (481) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VARKHUL 5655 2 1 0 23 KILLERS (42) ROYAL DRAGON 5652 2 0 0 17 NEON MYSTICS (489) DEADLY DIADEM 5641 3 4 0 14 DEATH'S ARMY (392) KRUUL 5666 1 0 1 14 KILLERS (42) DRAVOK 5654 1 2 0 7 KILLERS (42) HACHETTE 5662 0 1 0 7 WRATHMEN 25-41 (493) ZHARVOX 5663 1 1 1 5 KILLERS (42) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
