DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, Riztab!
My manager and team members are surprised that I've taken the throne for the last
couple of turns. Me, I've always agreed with the old saying "Good things come to
those who wait." Waiting is my specialty!
Tip for the hat to Seth for a well fought fight. Heck, if he hadn't bought
reconditioned weapons to save money in this tight economy, who knows how that seventh
minute would have looked!
I could give you some fighting tips, I've got this theorem I've been working on, but
Sleepy says people have grown tired of my triangle defense. I say, hey the triangle
offense has been well utilized in the NBA! Sleepy says if I hold the throne for a
few more turns, maybe he'll let me ramble on about my theorem. I wonder if he means
they grow tired watching it? Who knows.
Oh, Sleepy has begun graduate school studies, and I believe he's bringing Protagoras,
Sophocles, and Euripedes along for the next month. So if your looking to face a
Dreamer, you'll only have me and Philolaus to chose from.
Sleep well, Riztab!

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. And let's see, PHILOLAUS fought
SETH and gained 21 points and contributed to DREAMERS' 3-1-0. SETH has lost to
PHILOLAUS, falling 17 points, while helping make FORCE OF FIVE a 2-3-0 turn. The
attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and PYTHAGORAS remains RIZTAB's top
warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at The Warty Toad?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? 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.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in RIZTAB and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in RIZTAB again, farewell--

PERSONAL ADS
Philolaus -- My first thought was philly steak, but it's too thin. Even though we're
supposed to be a sweet shop, I can't help this focus on meat, I'm so HUNGRY for it.
But I've got a recipe here for flaky pastry layered with lemon pudding, how about
that one? It'll probably need some tweaking, just like certain strategies I could
mention, but the recipe, at least, might GET some tweaking. -- Corianelle
Protagoras -- Let Cori lust after steak, I'm quite satisfied with sausage and
biscuits. And the gravy, wow! You inspire me remarkably. Drop by and test it. --
Carlotta
Sophocles -- Not even for a great poet and playwright will I lower myself to making
fluffy macaroons. That's almost as bad as cotton candy. -- Kissa Belle
The Blob -- I suspect there's a message for me here, and the message is: forget the
sweet pastries, I am not cut out to deal with yeast. I guess I'd better try to
interest some of my teammates in it, because I really do like cinnamon rolls and
kolaches. -- Dora Bell
P.S. And sticky buns.
Loki -- Ah, you heard about the great chocolate dessert I made for your teammate Lady
Deathstrike, didn't you? And you want me to concoct a signature treat for you.
Well, I'll think about it. For some reason I'm feeling seriously licorice here,
which is weird because I don't much like licorice. But let me meditate on it. --
