DM 51 TRICORUS (turn 505): VARGOI of DARK HORSEMENT (Jorja, mgr.) SPY REPORT It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE had cause to celebrate, after EIO YUE got 22 points by beating DANGEROUS CRIMINAL. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, INSURANCE SALESMAN was winsome, after beating GROND and seeing him lose 14 points. Now I can't insult GALLORDIN, as he has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) 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 THE GOLDEN FISH, alone and unchallenged. The warriors of THE GOLDEN FISH found their efforts at combat frustrated as PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, GULBY could open up a fast food joint! Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in NIANIA would I avoid! Leave me now, you base fools! As the seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid NIANIA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GALLORDIN 5486 23 20 1 100 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -HORMONAL GROWTH 5534 10 2 0 121 WIDE WORLD OF...

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Yes! Excellent round! Finally I'm catching up to you guys. -- Gavin Goldina -- Gud phight, yoe sir had mesh vaorried! -- Bubba Bender Embezzling Scribe -- Sorry about the whole hospital trip thing... I tried to sneak in some 'drink' for ya saying it was for medicinal purposes. They chased me out callin' me Barbaric. -- Eio You wouldn't have beat him, Eio, if I'd not softened him up first. Poor chap. Who's idea was it to put librarians in an arena for Gladiators anyway? Why not 'Kindergarden Bully' or "Angry 8 year old'? Sheesh... -- Haus Pesky Beggars...they got patched up at the hospital and we get stuck with the bill... you wouldn't believe what he was begging for. Serves him right! -- Brandy, the outraged Haus Heus -- No help for it, I still don't like peanutbutter fudge. I like penuche. Sue me. Or vanilla fudge IF it has lots of chopped dried fruits and nuts in it. -- Goldina P.S. But I don't like standing there stirring it for ages and eons. So if I can't buy it, I do without. Ah. The Convicted Assassin. Not my favorite person, but I can be polite. He fought well. -- Gallordin Well, he didn't fight so well by the time he got to me! -- Kestratlak Darn that Khalhums Dwarf. I beat him and STILL didn't get the title. -- Grond Grond -- Why should you have done? True, you tied me for points, but I have more wins, plus a kill. *I* should have gotten the title. -- Gallordin Gallordin -- My win/loss was better than yours, it should have been MINE. -- Grond Seems like the Veteran Mercenary was feeling frisky. -- Gulby P.S. Friskiness in a standby is undesireable. Geroge Krag -- You're an orc, of course we're out to get you. -- Gallordin Seef Haraine -- Er, right. It was thrilling. -- Gulby Seef Haraine -- Me? Ah, no, surely not, I mean, I'm not worthy! -- Gallordin Heck, nine fights, and only ONE of them doesn't involve a standby. Small Arena Syndrome strikes. -- Jorja LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS BUBBA BENDER bested GULBY in a 1 minute amateur vs. expert upset Challenge fight. GALLORDIN handily defeated INSURANCE SALESMAN in a 1 minute one-sided Title match. GROND was viciously subdued by INSURANCE SALESMAN in a 2 minute bloody brawl. KESTRATLAK overpowered VENOMOUS CONCUBINE in a 1 minute one-sided fight. LILLY PEPPER devastated AMBITIOUS GUARD in a 1 minute uneven brawl. EIO YUE overpowered DANGEROUS CRIMINAL in a 1 minute one-sided struggle. BRANDY PINKERTON was devastated by GOLDINA in a 2 minute one-sided competition. HAUS HEUS handily defeated MORDANT DESERTER in a 1 minute uneven melee.
