DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I don't care what philosophy Heraclitus supports, it's all dreams and illusions.
The reality is, we're going to have to sandbag the waterfront. This is a seriously
tedious business and a sign of the ill-favor of the goddesses, or else the water
wouldn't be rising so, right? So everybody who can walk and lift a handful of sand,
to the shore!
Sweet Betsey
SPY REPORT
Good day, in RIZTAB a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as SWEET MAGIC is pushed out of top team by HIGH JINKS, who came from 2nd
with a 3-2-1 this turn. The ICE AGE guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be
watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's
see, TIANNARY fought MARLOW and gained 20 points and contributed to SWEET MAGIC's
2-3-0. MARLOW has lost to TIANNARY, falling 16 points, while helping make HIGH JINKS
a 3-2-1 turn. Defending hers title for another turn, SWEET BETSEY kept DREAMERS'
warrior, HERACLITUS, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me?
I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Welcome Wench until
they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in RIZTAB and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the

PERSONAL ADS
Democritus -- I was so moved by my weapons alacrity, I went down to the Barrows and
tried to kiss my weaponsmith out of gratitude. Big Bertha was so moved she jovially
back-handed me ass-over-teakettle across the room. Then swallowed me into her ample
bosom in a bear hug...Demo, you too would have come up gasping for air from such an
embrace. -- Marlow
Protaguras -- Let's get fun, I've got two hands. -- Deapth Bomb
Carlotta -- Friends of...Enemies of...who can tell? -- Tiddles
Corianelle -- The bell, I heard it. -- Ro-gan
Big Shrimp -- Just give me time to round up a HUGE tub of shrimp sauce, and we're in
business. -- Tariliss
Pythagoras -- Listen, I hate geometry. All those angles! It's so calculating. --
Tiannary
Tiddles -- I never know what to do with someone who comes on "cute." -- Carlotta
Repulsive Rogan -- Wow, that's the first time I've seen such a strong zone of
repulsion that the repellor bounced off the arena walls. I didn't have to fight at
all, just stay out of the way of the ricochets. -- Corianelle
Rogan -- It comes to all of us in the end. -- Tiannary
Tiddles -- They don't. They just want to see blood. Makes you wonder what this
world is coming to, doesn't it? -- Corianelle
31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
