DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings Riztab!
After an unexpected run of four turns on the throne I'm pleasantly surprised to
be planning for my journey to the next level of competition. I won't be leaving
right away as Sleepy as asked me to stay a few turns and mentor some of the new
recruits. Turns out Dreamers held many of the top spots in 2010, but in 2011 it will
be a Sweet Magic arena as by March Antiphon will move from rookie to most veteran
member of the Dreamers stable.
As I said before it was unexpected to be the first of my class to get the throne
and get an invite. I've sparred and trained with the other Dreamers and wasn't the
most focused (Archytas has me there), or the best attacker (Aristoclea has me my a
mile there!) or the quickest (Alcmaeon always made the first attack), but somehow my
combination of attributes and skills came together for a nice little run to finish my
time here in Riztab. Even more surprising considering I never came close to using my
favorite offensive or activity levels; never even touched my favorite weapon; and
didn't even have an expert in skill focus area.
Best of luck to all teams in the New Year!
Sleep well Riztab,
Hippasus
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. RIZTAB needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Cut this out and put
it in your scrapbooks, SWEET MAGIC! 'Cause they got 4-1-0 and moved up to 3rd! MVP
award for TEN OF CLUBS? CARDS' proud of him after beating NONELLIA and getting 24
points. Talk about yer major upsets! ARISTOCLEA's match with DONNAMIRA cost her a
loss of 12 points! Like DARK ARENA's ARENAMASTER RILLION is sweating since he got
Dark Arena Challenged by Duelmaster HIPPASUS! The crowds were amazed this turn, as
ARENAMASTER RILLION killed the Duelmaster, HIPPASUS, leaving DREAMERS in mourning.
ARCHYTAS gets to be new Duelmaster. But doesn't this mean people might try to kill
him, too? Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask
me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it.
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All RIZTAB ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. TEN OF CLUBS of CARDS wasn't planning on killing NONELLIA, I
bet. Now he has to worry about being Bloodfeuded, and getting put on lists... Hey
you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or
have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. I had a fun
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Black Heart -- Hmm, I think Nonie was right, too much licorice. I will admit that
licorice is not inherently bad, but when it's combined with dark chocolate, it's just
WEIRD. I won't make that attempt, thanks just the same. -- Donnamira
Diamond King -- Oh, yes, diamonds are a girl's best friends! -- Nonellia
P.S. And such a big one!
Alcmaeon -- Almonds lightly roasted with cinnamon and sugar, right? Great stuff,
although it is even better if pecans are used instead of almonds. -- Jaylene Mokhar
P.S. Although almonds are good covered in chocolate.
Candy corn? Not a chance! -- Lorimera
Our congratulations to Hippasus. Come by our place, we'll bake you a cake. -- the
Sweet Magic crew
