DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Dare I assume that since On Golden Pond is a golem, it won't mind if I use it as
a stepping stone to the title which my sister has so carelessly vacated? Not that I
care whether it minds, really, but you know how it goes. An ounce of courtesy is
worth something or other.
Penny Lope
SPY REPORT
Hail WILLAF! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. And let's see, AMPERE fought VETERAN MERCENARY and gained 21 points and
contributed to POWER LEGION's 3-2-0. DUNROE MINH has lost to TAIKUTSU, falling 2
points, while helping make PUNNY AMINALS a 1-4-0 turn. And not without some honor,
KUROHANA now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of WILLAF. By the way, was
that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Welcome
Wench?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the POWER
LEGION stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on WILLAF, what are you
afraid of? And guess who avoided POWER LEGION stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was GOLDEN GLADIATORS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that
DUNROE MINH from PUNNY AMINALS was WILLAF's most challenged warrior this turn.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. The Welcome Wench declares a free
round for ANIS and all of MAXIMUM RESULTS, for having revenged POWER LEGION's SPIKE
for killing one of their comrades. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he
has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
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 WILLAF and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in WILLAF again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Penny Lope -- Congratulations on your title. Yu da babe! -- Midas
Penny -- Well you just plain showed me up! My pond is draining.... -- On Golden Pond
Fission -- It was my pleasure to provide the spark that ignited my win. (wink) -- 24
Carat
Persistent Beggar? Well, he was for two rounds. -- Gold-Plated
Coyote, Jorja -- I am not sure why Mino from DM 11 decided he needed to provide his
assessment of "This arena does not lack in talent. It lacks in participants.", but I
have to say I agree with it. (chuckle) -- Of Golden Gladiators
May your partridge in a pear tree really be a sized-three godling. Wishing you all
the best of the season. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators
Anis -- Ma'am (sneezing), sorry about that. I think (sneezing again) I must be
allergic to anise. But you are, none the less for that, a little charmer, and it
would delight me to buy you dinner. -- Dunroe Minh
P.S. Once, at least, no promises for future meals. This is not a blank meal ticket.
I felt sorry for the Veteran Mercenary, okay? He's lived hard and fought hard, and
he doesn't have a pension, and what big difference does it make to me if I lose the
title today? -- Penny Lopez
Ampere -- Well, that was shocking. -- Kildilli Dall
P.S. I could go on in that vein, our team name was not given in vain, but since you
won the fight, I'll let you set the pace.
Tidal -- I guess I should be glad we aren't on a real sea here, or even on the coast
of the Storm Sea (a lake at heart). You might wipe me out if you could get a good
run. -- Ondo Fleur
Golden Dome -- We'll think about it, but right now, the schedule is not supporting
some activity out there. -- Penny
Golden Dome -- Would you not consider a rotunda of some colored marble, as being fit
to set off to best advantage your golden gleam? Black marble, perhaps, or porphyry?
-- Tevik Zokharj, Distributor of Lands for Willaf Arena
Ondo Fleur -- Yea, yea, yea! If I don't start coming, I will be going--to the Dark
Arena! -- Noxon
Jorja -- I enjoy this arena, and the talent here is good. My only other arena has 30
teams on an average turn, give or take. -- Coyote
Jorja, Midas, Ming -- Question: Do you believe a warrior in the stands yelling
"Brilliant" at the end of a fight means anything as far as favorite weapon or
numbers? I'm taking a poll. -- Coyote
Midas -- I do find some styles more "fun" to run, and are my favorites. However, not
every roll-up can be made into a successful every style. This is one of my biggest
problems. (see Noxon) Ha ha. -- Coyote
Gold Bullion, 24 Carat -- Seems I always scrape enough gold off my weapon to pay for
my drinks after I fight you!! -- Anis
