DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It was one of those strange moments that comes into a life now and then and
really messes with your head. I hadn't *planned* it that way, but I was facing off
against Max, and all the sudden I got to thinking about the winter solstice
ceremonies, don't ask me why since it's the hottest heat wave in three years here,
and I said to him, "Max," I said, "when the solstice comes, don't you go and kill a
tree and drag it home like some darned trophy and set that carcass up to help you
celebrate life. That's a rotten thing to do, Max," I said. "Plant a new tree
somewhere instead. That's really celebrating life." Which all makes perfect sense
to me except for thinking about it right now. Dunno what got into me.
Good try, Max, but I know it's kinda hard to recover after someone throws you a
curve like that.
Bristlecone
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out MALCORN to see
what's new. What was the name of that team who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total
27-22-1 you ask? (Sure) RAINBOW CONNECTION's their name, and fighting's their game!
MVP award for MASTER DARQUE? VC RULES' proud of him after beating SILVERBIRD and
getting 26 points. Talk about yer big time losers! QREATED got smashed by JIM, and
lost 14 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think BRISTLECONE
should let STREET LEGAL be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Is the
Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? It was kind of sad, seeing old SILVERBIRD stumbling around the arena,
before MASTER DARQUE finished her off. Oh well! I see SILVERBIRD got killed by
MASTER DARQUE of VC RULES. Now I want to see some serious Bloodfeud action out
there! 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 know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free
airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 22
before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.) Look for the tournament info
sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to
it and that we will see you there!
