Duelmaster! Sure, I'll write one of these columns if that means I can be the Titleholder. Yes! Sorry, Indior, but I must have wanted that more than you did. Yes! Hey, my team was red hot this turn. 5-0-2! Not that killing is really our thing, certainly not mine, but that is such a cool record. I wonder how The Z Man pulled that off. All I really know is that I did my share. Well, I want my Lord Protectorship and out of here. I do! After winning this, I am ready to retire. So lets explore my possibilities: 20 fights -- check 14 wins -- need one more 17 political points -- a little short with 7 adex/expert -- uh, yet need one of those unless Indior gave me a lotta skills So, I have yet a few fights to go. Maybe only two if I win them, stay DM, and earn the right skills. Gotta do it! That's it. I'm out! Next time I will tell you what I don't have. After all, my name IS Zilch. Zilch, Duelmaster SPY REPORT The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ARKERS, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! What's a move up by 3 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to YOU PAY I SLAY. Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but SMITHSONIAN will tell you 623-403-13 is nothing to laugh at... Practice pays for ZEPHYR, who pummelled CIVILIZED CRIMINAL, to pocket 23 points. NORM QUESHA certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to ALAMO and losing 8 points in the process! ZILCH successfully staved off a grab for the roses by KERBIN NOTTS of MIDDLE WAY 11. Does ARKERS have no one talented enough to dethrone her? Word has it one team in ARKERS is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works. So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of HEAD BANGERS should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of HEAD BANGERS found their efforts at combat frustrated as Z GLADIATORZ apparently had more important things to do than fight. Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ARKERS farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ZILCH 5081 14 8 0 98 Z GLADIATORZ (519) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CONFIDENCE 4894 17 6 0 97 CONSANGUINEOUS (567) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ZITHER 5153 15 1 0 85 Z GLADIATORZ (519) INDIOR LANDIS 5058 19 24 0 81 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) -DEAD LEE 3142 3 2 0 79 YOU PAY I SLAY (373) KERBIN NOTTS 5040 15 30 0 75 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) GERONIMO 5125 6 6 0 74 SMITHSONIAN (245) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CONFESSION 4895 13 7 0 65 CONSANGUINEOUS (567) ALAMO 5151 9 4 0 63 SMITHSONIAN (245) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -JACKSON 5127 6 3 2 56 GENERALS (590) ZEPHYR 5204 6 1 1 50 Z GLADIATORZ (519) -SALIVA 5163 4 5 0 41 HEAD BANGERS (595) NORM QUESHA 5171 10 7 0 39 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) -KUBLA KHAN 5126 6 3 0 38 GENERALS (590) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ZORK 5195 5 0 1 33 Z GLADIATORZ (519) -MOTOR HEAD 5205 4 2 0 28 HEAD BANGERS (595) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -KORN 5160 3 6 0 23 HEAD BANGERS (595) -SOUL CATCHER 5174 2 0 0 23 DREAD EMPIRE (597) PLYMOUTH ROCK 5218 3 0 0 17 SMITHSONIAN (245) ZEST 5224 2 0 1 16 Z GLADIATORZ (519) -SLIP KNOT 5162 3 6 0 15 HEAD BANGERS (595) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KOTTER NAHL 5197 2 8 0 14 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) -TZU 5210 1 2 0 7 GENERALS (590) IWO JIMA 5223 1 0 0 7 SMITHSONIAN (245) -BAT OF LASHES 5207 1 3 0 6 HEAD BANGERS (595) IMERTA LOEL 5225 0 2 0 2 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) -PATTON 5219 0 1 0 1 GENERALS (590) -ROMMEL 5220 0 1 0 1 GENERALS (590) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Felt goooood! -- Zork, Z Gladiatorz Well, now, guys, that dispatched Virtuous Scribe is not so full of zest anymore, either! I kind of enjoyed the epiphany! -- Zephyr, Z Gladiatorz Well, Kerbin, it was bloody, but that does give me the two out of three. I hope we go for three out of five. Ever the faithful... -- Zither, Z Gladiatorz Indior Landis -- I wanted that title really, really bad. I was good, wasn't I? -- Zilch, Z Gladiatorz Wow! Was that a 5-0-2 for the Z Gladiatorz? It must be the management. (wink) Way to go, guys! -- The Z Man Imerta Loel -- Well, that's an interesting name. Uh, and with a name like that you will need to fight your best. I hope you learned something from our little tussle. -- Plymouth Rock Ugh. Khal Hums Dwarf, him bad. Me hurt. Me need firewater. -- Geronimo Dead Lee -- Hey! If I challenge, you need to let me win. You're tryin' to give me a losers complex or somethin'? -- Alamo Congratulations to the new Duelmaster, Zilch. -- Curator P.S. Zilch for a Duelmaster? We have more than nothing don't we? Zilch -- At least there was one skill today. I'll take it. -- Indior Landis Zither -- I never did care for those tunes that go on and on and on with tiny variations on the same old theme. -- Kerbin Notts Ambitious Guard?
