DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I salute Brandy for a good student, but my hands are rather full at the moment,
so I can't do much more. What with Goldina emoting all over the guildhouse, which I
never would have expected of a golem, and Jorja muttering about people with "liens"
against her gladiators, a long-retired teammate, Pike, showing up to yell about
something to do with the Venomous Concubine, who he says is HIS concubine only
because she won't marry him, well, it's hectic around our place. Somebody's got to
be the voice of reason, and that seems to be me. Bummer. I'm not cut out for it.
Grond
P.S. Sure, I'm a charismatic fellow, the Commission spotted that, born to lead and
all, but I'm DUMB. What were they THINKING?
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! POSITIVE ALTERNATIVE had cause to celebrate,
after BLINK got 15 points by beating JEAN PAUL SATRE. Win some, lose some. Speaking
of which, TWO-PIECE TOENAIL was winsome, after beating ORI ONYX and seeing him lose 9
points. LILLY PEPPER found out that NIANIA isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the
best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in NIANIA is using psychics to
predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Is it charming personality?
Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, GULBY is the most
challenged warrior.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in NIANIA 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

PERSONAL ADS
Gee, I'm invited to the Isle at 20 fights. Am I ready for this? I'm honored, yet I
have my misgivings. Ah well, immortality... you know, now that reality has slapped
me in the face, it's pretty scary. See ya soon, Sis. Oh, and I'll look after
Goldina too. Signing out. -- Bubba
P.S. Graduated with: Master init, Advanced Expert attack, Scimitar favorite (yes!),
mod/low, slash tactic and favors init (duh!) 9-18-8-15-15-8-11
Ack! No! We were supposed to go together. I guess we knew what we were getting
into. See you soon, little bro. That bites, I'll look after your duaghter. Life is
cruel, you just found out about her. -- Brandy
Well, Golden Fish team members, you're disappearing from the top and with the tough
up-and-coming competition below, getting back won't be easy, but it sure will be fun.
-- Eio
Hormonal Growth -- You're back from the dead, if I remember right? Well, you're one
heck of a fighter... Hey, I sure wouldn't mind finding out how true your name is...
you know. -- Lilly
Jorja -- Thank you! By the way, I would like to formally complain to the Commission
for taking my fighter Bubba so soon. Do you know how hard it will be to replace him?
I've already bought and had to replace a golem of my own. Sheesh. Maybe *I* should
Duel.
Lilly Pepper -- You might want to know--not that you'll need it in the future--that I
don't DO "very low offensive effort." I don't think Jorja believes in it, figures
it's just sleeping on the job or something. I do "very high offensive effort," and
it WORKS. -- Goldina
P.S. Very high/moderate, with a scimitar and no tactic. It works for me.
Bwahaha! Now this golem I have paid so much for, Goldina, will be MINE to do with as
I please! -- Lord Noll
P.S. If she'd gone to the Isle of the Eye, she would have been out of my reach,
but... ah! She has not done so.
Bubba Bender -- Hey, what's a loss when you're graduating already? Nothing, less
than a whisker of a shadow. To me, a win is a big thing, and I'm glad to have it. --
Gulby
P.S. So, thanks.
Ignorant Baud -- I have sometimes thought that if your manager can't think of a team
name, maybe he's running too many teams? -- Lorinda
P.S. And it's weird that you're male.
Lonesome George -- The Lonesome Gorge in Osksi is more clever. -- Seskerinth
Grond -- Of course Seef Haraine is causing trouble. It's what she does, and Pike
knew that when he formed the liason. She likes excitement, almost any kind of it.
And it was Pike, not Seef Haraine, who picked that property out in the swamp. The
agent told him it had monsters. But he still picked it. -- Seskerinth
P.S. Monsters with tentacles.
Two-Piece Toenail -- That's all the information I want or can stand. -- Seskerinth
P.S. You humans are truly strange.
Our congratulations to Bubba Bender. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish
9 February 10
All -- I know you all thought the old Wiz that is Fiz went off to die somewhere.
Well, I didn't. Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless
ramblings. I look forward to reconnecting with all my old friends and enemies alike.
-- Fizban the Famous
