DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail, denizens of Jhelum! This honor is long overdue but will not last as I am due
to travel on to Chrysalis to visit my old comrades Scandalf and Legalass. Hopefully
I will see you, Epimonidas, my old friend, and we can trade blows once again. Don't
feel bad, you're the best I ever scummed. To the rest, may your blades remain sharp
and pointy, and your armor well oiled and dented. Just don't turn your backs on
Gimlet, he has eyes there too! -- Aragant of The Shallowship
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in JHELUM! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for GIMLET? THE
SHALLOWSHIP's proud of him after beating HOWARD and getting 15 points. Talk about
yer major upsets! RIPPIN's match with DIAPERED ZALGOR cost her a loss of 11 points!
Was that a tear I saw in FUZZ BALL's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't
ARAGANT fit to be tied! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?
Don't ask me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? DEATH SQUAD was the most avoided team. Is a 42-50-2
record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are TANKS FOR NOTHIN'?
DEATH SQUAD, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an
invitation! Can THE SHALLOWSHIP's GIMLET be more popular than me? He was challenged
the most, but is that really the same?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?
Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Epimonidas -- Tell your friend Hannibal to be grateful I am only "marginally
effective" with such a weapon, elsewise he could have been made to fit through the
door more easily, the big lug. 'Twas ever such a humble thing that heel of Achilles.
-- Gimlet
Challon -- I hope you have regained some of your confidence. If not, please stop by
again. -- Fear-O-Me
M1A1 -- I guess I still haven't learned how to duck. Next time I'll use the "RA"
(run away) defensive tactic, but then what's the point? Oh yeah, it's your scimitar
sticking in my thigh! -- Rippin
All -- Oh I love to bash and trash and crash, hoo hum, barroooom!!! Come visit, and
don't be hasty, we'll have a smashing good time.-- Freebeard 'o' the big boot
Aragant -- I knew you'd get big head over having the title, however you got it--and
who can blame you, really?--so I figured to let you get it on a win, just to make it
all tidy. Wear it in good health, as they say. -- Epimonidas
P.S. I hear they're bringing in a damned Spartan to follow me, don't know I care for
that! But it isn't my call.
Fear-O-Me -- (choke) (sputter) Good name. -- Challon
P.S. No, really, good name!
My manager, at this point I'm not sure if it's officially Nick or Jorja, is all
thrilled at "having the Jhelumite Kung-Fu Master to add to the collection," but
frankly, I could have done without this just FINE. The guy's a sneaky little coward,
is what he is. Going around looking innocent and unarmed, and then POW, he kicks you
where it hurts. -- Jimmy Custer
Gimlet -- Cast your eye over this pass and see if you can figure out what's wrong
with it, eh? -- Hannibal
P.S. And then, out of the goodness of my heart, and my general gratitude, I won't
let the elephant sit on you.
The Convicted Assassin is pathetic. But then, we all knew that. -- Howard
Our congratulations to Aragant. -- the Dogs of War
Aragant -- Tell me where you're going, and I'll, er, plan accordingly. -- Epimonidas
Aragant and Gimlet -- How about a three-handed dance? One of those Greek things,
which are all I can manage anyway. -- Epimonidas
20 April 2007
All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
