DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
So, I'm assuming that you are curious to know a little bit about myself seeing as I'm
the duelmaster of this fair city. Well, I prepared for my last fight by eating Big
Pasta the night before my fateful match. You can never have enough energy for such a
conflict.
After the meal, Formations Of The Mind caused me to think about how in this
Generation, I had the ability to challenge who I saw fit. Irate Dreams ensued as I
pondered how, during our X Games on the arena sands, I would deliver Elvorn Marlan
into a Wohpum State.
Evidently, the Library of Kadath contained such information, as I read volumes on how
to defeat such a foe. As a result, We was fortunate enough to repeat this turn as
Duelmaster.
Not too shabby for somebody who's Got No Brain?
<that was fun>
Oh, and most importantly... Good luck to all in the mail-in tournament. Make Osksi
proud!
Sincerely,
-GNB-
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly OSKSI games. Former top team GAMES LIBRARY was
unseated this week as GENERATION X moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-2-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at GAMES LIBRARY's
guildhouse after a 0-5-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 5th. Dark
Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness
how this week DREAMS OF KADATH went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. TV DINNER
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested
TAROBINZ MAUR and was awarded 29 points in recognition. In one of the week's more
notable duels, BOB THE INHALER put down PSIONIC PSYCHO, causing him to lose 14 points
of recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster
GOT NO BRAIN challenged ELVORN MARSLAN last week in a match to decide the fate of the
throne. Not for nothing has GOT NO BRAIN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's
throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Would you believe that
over half of the old women in OSKSI seem to feel that they could fight better than
you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city OSKSI. OSKSI, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds
is GENERATION X, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Methinks
more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last
week avoiding GENERATION X. Indeed it was STATE OF MIND. Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. CADILLAC DUNDEE take warning! You have more
than a few enemies in OSKSI.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? I must report the passing of VANDELSHIMHAN TIRU, veteran of many
duels. 13-12-1 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites.
CRASH DIET must hold silent, for this week he was humbled in the arena by a
successful Bloodfeud won by TAINT OF THE SEA of DREAMS OF KADATH. Hail TAINT OF THE
SEA for thy victory! Walk proud, warriors of DREAMS OF KADATH! By striking down
CRASH DIET you have avenged the honor of your dead. Your virtue is known to all in
OSKSI. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only
the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in OSKSI. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Kovaramann Voth -- It seems like you guys are my only playmates these days. Not that
I mind fighting you guys, but some new 'friends' to spar with would be a little
refreshing for this psychic's psyche! -- Psychic Friend
Vandelshimhan Tiru -- Hey, can I just call you Vandy for short? Saying your full
name took longer than our fight did. Sheeesh! -- TV Dinner

the skills! -- Mailer Daemon
Bob the Inhaler -- Well Done! Though I don't think either one of us hit anything in
this fight did we?! Oh well. -- Crash Diet

will avenge me! -- Ghost of Reality Star
Marma Duke -- Looks like you finally entered the round robin competition that me and
Reaper were in! I guess what goes around comes around. :) -- Storm Lord

Under Pressure -- You showed so much promise early on, but just didn't have that
"knack". I have to let you go.... -- Marma Duke
Cadillac Dundee -- Hmmmm, we'll have to remedy this situation, won't we? At least in

that name too!!!)

to bloodfeud you!!! Your inactivity lead to his death... yes it did!!! LOL -- Marma

Stormy -- I am going away now. You may see me after the tourney, but I need to heal
a bit. -- Reaper
Marma -- So 3 is about the replacement guy. I see. You are going to be in a when

replacements before I am DAing 5 a turn. -- Reaper
Got No Brain -- You don't seem to need it, so why worry? -- Elvorn Marslan
Psychic Friend -- As if. -- Kovaramann Voth
P.S. I've got seasonal affective stuff, and the gray days are making me testy. Not
more combative, but testy.
TV Dinner -- To the trash can with you! -- Vandelshimhan Tiru
Ah, just what I needed to make my week complete: Being beaten up by the Khalhums
Dwarf. -- Tarobinz Maur
Always glad to oblige. -- Elder Ironshoe of Khalhums
A Convicted Thief? Sad. -- Salkorinvar Kiro

Got No Brain -- Small arena, especially at the top. No help for it. -- Tarobinz Maur
Ghost of Placid Intensity -- Sorry to see you go, and not just because of the wins.
It's your name, I really like it. -- Vandelshimhan Tiru
