DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Thanks for letting Alfjar dominate the throne for 5 turns. He began as one of
those rollups that could be almost anything; 7-10-13-17-17-3-17. ST to 9 of course
for the SC, and it just happened to be his favorite weapon. That revelation decided
his fates, and I'll be running him in ADM rather than sending him off to retirements,
as I had once thought to do. I made him a Slasher because I heard someone say many
years ago, that slashers don't need speed. So I made Alfjar to prove to someone,
perhaps just myself, that it was true. -- Buri
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt OSKSI will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference,
as GENERATION X is pushed out of top team by VALLEY OF KINGS, who came from 3rd with
a 4-0-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to
drown for GAMES LIBRARY, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 6th. DREAMS OF
KADATH stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings.
This brings them up to 5th place. Good work, guys! The VALLEY OF KINGS guild has
had a 4-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this
kind of thing can lead. And let's see, SON OF DAGON fought DARIROKAN KOR and gained
21 points and contributed to DREAMS OF KADATH's 3-2-0. SALDORINIVAN KIRO has lost to
FUNNY FARM FIEND, falling 13 points, while helping make GAMES LIBRARY a 1-4-0 turn.
KAREOKE KILLER challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone
AESIR's warrior. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ALFJAR
remains OSKSI's top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that The Elefont uses trolls in their stew. Talk
about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. AESIR has cause to stand tall, as they were OSKSI's most
avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding AESIR more
than any other team we find VALLEY OF KINGS. OSKSI, are we going to accept, or
respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was STATE OF
MIND's warrior EXISTANCE MUNDANE. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Congratulations go out to VALLEY OF KINGS, with HORUS revenging a
bloodfeud against DAEROMENZIAN VAL of GAMES LIBRARY. Is it really true that OSKSI
has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in OSKSI again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Cadillac -- I expected more of a challenge. -- Alfjar
Osksi -- I had a terrible comeback tournament, losing Hodur from this arena. He was
9-9-10-17-15-3-21 AB. Let Hermod, his replacement, begin a new reign of terror!
Someday I will graduate an AB from here and complete the set. -- Buri
Daeromenzian -- Now you will feel righteous fury! -- Horus the Avenger
Meteor Man -- It's good to be the king. -- Pharaoh
Hermod -- Skill and divinity will always overcome barbarity. -- Ramesses
Linguine -- Bah@ Your tactics are cowardly and unworthy of a warrior! -- Volstagg
Vector Unstable -- What was that you were saying? I enjoyed the visit, but now my
servants have a great deal of you blood to clean up. -- Alfjar
Bast -- I'm sorry about that, I like cats. While it's true it was an insane
challenge on your part, I will be available for bloodfeud if your teammates desire
it. -- Daeromenzian Val
Loabal Domination -- It's all YOUR fault that the Commission hasn't corrected my
race, isn't it? You dominated their loabs, and rendered them putty in your hands.
Weird visual, did you mold their loabs like bread dough? -- Darirokan Kor
Cadillac Dundee -- Graduate! -- Saldorinivan Kiro
Galilea -- Ah... I think you were supposed to drop rocks off that tower, not jump
yourself. -- Skaevolovian Kor
Snooze Bandit -- Sounds like a plan to me. -- Falrondial Voth
Loabal Domination -- Nope, not me. Though I believe Jorja's got it somewhere and is
holding it for use with the next replacement. -- Darirokan Kor
Our congratulations to Alfjar and Cadillac Dundee. -- Jorja and the Games Librarians
I wish Jorja wouldn't call us librarians. It makes us sound like wimps, and most of
the team can't even read anyway. -- Saldorinivan Kiro
