DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am Duelmaster, so I can write about anything I want, so I want to tell you
about my friend Sushie, who allegedly keeled over during the tournament. Can you
imagine a keeled-over sushi?
She was a 11(+1)-14(+1)-1-21-16(+1)-3-11 mode skill, bonused endurance Waste.
She had earned Masters in Init, Attack, and Parry at the time of her demise. I am
pretty sure her favorite was the quarterstaff, with which she went 10-46-23!
Her great record at 16-3 (with 5-2 in DM fights) shows that she was a good one.
I will miss her.
Twink, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of KALTOS! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. It seems so recently people were
saying TEAM CHAOS ELITE was washed up, finished. But 4-1-1 moved them up 0. I guess
they're washed no more... What's with ELINDE GOSS? She actually beat PAPER MARIO's
BOMBETTE, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight. I'm sure KALTOS is
excited about GRETZKY, the new Duelmaster from SPORTS GREATS. (remember?) But when
you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to
practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was THE MIDDLE WAY 5. The bums at TEAM CHAOS ELITE couldn't face the challenges from
THE MIDDLE WAY 5! No excuse for that!
Warriors of KALTOS unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. Are you
as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Hmmmmm. Sushie is gone. Looks like a tournament mishap or something fishy is going
on. Yikes! -- Luigi
Fergus -- You got me again, but I got your crown! -- Twink, Duelmaster
Gretsky -- I want you, you old has-been. -- Twink
Iron Maiden -- (sigh) I would love to be so tall. Everything looks good on tall
people, and EVERYBODY takes them seriously. Oh, well, at least I'm not really short.
Bold challenge, maybe a little crazy, but a good try. -- Jeri Lough
P.S. Relax a little. You need to watch the grass grow.
P.P.S. If you can find any grass on this little island.
Overkill -- It seems odd that a golem should have handedness. Do you suppose it
comes from the tendency or common practice, of which I have heard mention, of
imprinting a newly formed golem with the mental pattern of a live person? Just an
idle speculation. -- Elinde Goss
Moon Child -- What IS it with you Team Chaos Elite people? Four challenges to us,
four losses. Not that WE are complaining, but what's the deal? --Helene Juste
P.S. I take that back, three challenges and one random match, four losses for you.
It's enough to make managers mutter about the Dark Arena. Be CAREFUL.
Twink -- I had a bet with the arenamaster that I could flip you over the far wall,
and by gosh, I DID. Cool. -- Fergus Hill, on the way out and glad of it
Godsmack -- That wraps up a five-oh turn for us, and while it feels really, really
good, only the win over you and the one over Twink are anything like fair ones.
Still...way to go, eh? -- Orverd Quill
Drat. After a graduation comes a new recruit. I hate that. -- Nick, or possibly
Jorja, manager of the Middle Way
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
