DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hey! I am getting quite versatile. I figure out a BLUFF and then I keep a KING from
committing SUICIDE. I should be Duelmaster! Oh; I am. Of course. I kind of like this.
Can I win three in a row? Three's charm, they say, and I am so so charming, if I say
so myself. And I do.
So here I am. Here is the title. Come and get it!
-- WFMS,LLC, DMIII
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ARDIVENT! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with LUCKY CAT? She
actually beat DON'T STARVE's WENDY, and walked away with 19 more points from the
fight. Laughs were big at DON'T STARVE while they watched WOLFGANG clobber ESCORT OF
ANGELS. He lost 12 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try
as he might, BLUFF wasn't good enough at persuading WFMS, LLC to step down from the
Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I
hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... ARDIVENT thinks FANDILS
and their 2009-1239-79 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... The
bums at WILD CARDS couldn't face the challenges from FANDILS! No excuse for that!
What do people see in OVERREACHING ACAI? His 21-16-1? DANGEROUS FRUITS ain't
talkin', but he's got 108 points. Keep challenging up 31 points, THROW THUNDER, and
I won't have to write about you much longer. BERNICE always accepts those kind of
challenges... THROW THUNDER beat BERNICE (THROW THUNDER getting 24 points,
too!)--Ooh baby! Now dat I likes!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Who will dare fight OVERREACHING ACAI, after he returned from
the Dark Arena? (For the record 21-16-1 is 108, and has he points) Here's some
advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
