DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I did some training with a goldsmith, and the skills learned have served me
well. Heart of Gold made a good try but now she's looking more than a little
battered.
Kildilli Dall
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in WILLAF this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
GOLDEN GLADIATORS is pushed out of top team by PUNNY AMINALS, who came from 2nd with
a 2-2-0 this turn. And let's see, ANIS fought 24 CARAT and gained 19 points and
contributed to MAXIMUM RESULTS' 3-0-1. 24 CARAT has lost to ANIS, falling 16 points,
while helping make GOLDEN GLADIATORS a 1-1-0 turn. And not without some honor,
TAIKUTSU now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of WILLAF. Tell me, is
nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dripping Blade uses
trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
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 PUNNY
AMINALS stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on WILLAF, what are you
afraid of? And avoiding PUNNY AMINALS more than any other team we find GOLDEN
GLADIATORS. WILLAF, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was GOLDEN GLADIATORS' warrior 24 CARAT. More fighters
challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. 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 WILLAF and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in WILLAF again, farewell--

PERSONAL ADS
Kildilli -- You put it to me good and deserve the title. Congrats. -- Heart Of Gold
Indeed. A golden moment for Kildilli. Salute. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators
Penny Lopez -- I needed that! I guess neither of you grads got to go off with a win.
-- 24 Carat (laughing if I must)
It will be interesting to see if any golden names were offered. -- Midas
Ah, yes. Fool's Gold. Far more competent than the name implies. -- Midas
Cricket -- Are you that good? -- Gold Bullion
Well, if that doesn't beat milkshakes. My stupid cousin goes off to the Isle and
leaves me here to fight Convicted Assassins. -- Penny Lope
P.S. Okay, maybe she isn't going to the Isle, but she isn't staying around HERE.
24 Carat -- It's my pleasure to give you that win, since *I* won't be needing it.
Good luck, and watch out for the bunny. -- Penny Lopez
P.S. He's always biting the carats, and his teeth are HUGE.
Captured Orc? Bah. Fighting that creature is beneath me. -- Dunroe Minh
Dunroe -- Losing to him is beneath you. Back to the practice room for you, and no
more Double Chocolate Carrot Cake for dessert! -- Jorja
Budokumo -- A painful encounter. Let's not do it again. -- Ondo Fleur
Midas -- Have you had a Golden Parachute? -- Jorja
31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
