DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, M. Chardinee gave it his best shot, or the best shot he was allowed to
give, perhaps, and I defeated him. This was pleasing even though I learned no
skills.
Penny Lope
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
WILLAF brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see PENNY LOPEZ win a fight and gain 10 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
TAIKUTSU beat DUNROE MINH and DUNROE MINH lost 5 points. You're breakin' my heart.
And it's out with the old, in with the new, as AMPERE takes the Title and last week's
bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but
why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, WILLAF?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? GOLDEN GLADIATORS was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily
livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was YAMABUSHI. Ha ha ha ha!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. And now a passing thought on a warrior dying young
(GOLD-PLATED of GOLDEN GLADIATORS): You had your chance and now you're dead. Oh
well... We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with
you sooner that later?
What does the WILLAF arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
I guess two turns in a row was too much to wish from the Yamabushis? We really were
looking for some easy wins. -- Midas, Golden Gladiators
Jorja -- Not really enough meat on those partridges. I prefer turkeys! More fun;
more meat. (wink) -- Midas
Dunroe -- I sneaked through that one didn't I? Now you are all wet! -- On Golden
Pond
Fission -- I made the mistake of preparing for fusion, when I challenged fission.
Silly, eh? I may just try again with the right scientific strategy. -- Heart Of Gold
Pressure -- Well I made up for my stablemate's silliness! A little real gold goes a
long way. -- Gold Bullion
Kildilli -- Too much for me again, you CAD! -- 24 Carat
It was quite nice to draw the Embezzling Scribe. I shall consider it a Christmas
present from the RUGS. -- Gold-Plated
Penny Lope -- Nice draw, yourself, with the Chardinee. That demands a two-page
Duelmaster column! -- Midas
All -- May everything you do in the New Year turn to gold. -- Midas and friends
Spike -- Congratulations and well fought!! Tried new weapon and strategy... ooppss!!
-- Anis
Jorja -- Are you the author of "Duelmasters for Dummies"? If you are, thank you. I
based many of my early warriors off that article, and shared it with other beginners.
-- Coyote
Jorja, Midas, Mino -- Thanks for the response. Seems that voices and yelling mean
little. Maybe a rhythm... -- Coyote
Syncopated gaited?
All -- I keep reading of charts and a book to help players play better--but never
seen one. I am looking for more information on the game. -- Coyote
Somebody is sure to suggest Terrablood's website for this. Please include the
url, as I need to download some charts to send to players without web access.
Thanks! -- Temp Ed.
On Golden Pond -- Well... I can fish there, can't I? That would make up for a lot.
-- Dunroe Minh
Khlahums Dwarf? He should go home over the holidays and stay till all the hangovers
are done. -- Penny Lopez
24 Carat -- But I NEEDED carats for my stu! -- Kildilli Dall
P.S. Chopped.
Tidal -- Too much ice around, perhaps. -- Ondo Fleur
The Regional Arena News is down for repairs but will return soon.

HAL, being the simple golem it is, doesn't know what to do with anything other than
plain text. Note, this also means it doesn't know what to do with "smart" or "curly"

everyone's favourite ellipsis (..., aka three dots). -- A public self-service
announcement from your Ed.
