DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I suppose the Kung-Fu Master gave it his best, but his best was not, ah,
remarkably good today. Well, perhaps he's having an off day. He was jabbing and
punch and forearm striking until I got tired of it all and whacked him with my blade.
That ended the fight.
Silvia Minno
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to WILLAF once again! It seems so recently people were saying
MAXIMUM RESULTS was washed up, finished. But 3-0-1 moved them up 0. I guess they're
washed no more... What's with SILENCE IS GOLDEN? She actually beat PUNNY AMINALS'
BAABRA LAMMONT, and walked away with 14 more points from the fight. Major screwup at
PUNNY AMINALS. BAABRA LAMMONT lost 8 points to SILENCE IS GOLDEN. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe BAABRA LAMMONT will provide more easy wins... KHALHUMS
DWARF was reminded on the sands why SILVIA MINNO is Duelmaster. I suppose you want
to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... WILLAF thinks PUNNY
AMINALS and their 680-852-22 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
The bums at GOLDEN GLADIATORS couldn't face the challenges from PUNNY AMINALS! No
excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
BAABRA LAMMONT! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover
stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Silvia -- Perhaps it would be best for all if you would go ahead and graduate? -- On
Golden Pond
Silva Minnow, Duelmaster -- congrats! -- Midas and The Golden Glads
Hirokawa -- Are you hiding from us and our bloodfeud? Are Yamamamas always such
cowards? -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators
P.S. Oh, you are smart; I wouldn't want to fight us either. But you are a pluck-
pluck-chicken!
Baarbra -- A cadess cannot compete with a goldbrick. You simply do not know the
tricks. -- Goldbrick
Fangs Ardente -- With a name like that, I suppose you learned to fight like the
French? So sorry. -- Silence Is Golden
Ambitious Guard BEAT me?! Oh, my. Perhaps I did not spread my wings? -- Golden
Eagle
Well, Golden Eagle, I had no problem with the Ambitious Guard, but, then, I am better
and more experienced than you. -- Gold Cache
P.S. Probably more emphasis on the experience!
Goldbrick -- Hmm, I seem to have hit a brick wall with that one! -- Baabra Lammont
Huh! All Silvia did was get the Kung-Fu Master MAD, and he took it out on ME. I
don't appreicate that kind of thing from a teammate. -- Marey D'Nuit
Silence Is Golden -- But screams are good, too. I have decided: the Commission has
come to recognize the existence of vampires, therefore, I shall admit that I am one.
-- Fangs Ardente
P.S. But don't get swept away with misconceptions! We come all sorts, just like
regular people.
Bruar -- Odd, but I enjoyed that. Ah, it wasn't odd that I enjoyed it, mind, but it
was a little odd that it went so well. -- Cris Croft
Midas -- She's working on it. But you know how it goes: gold may be heavier, but it
takes longer for silver to go the distance. -- Jorja
Silence Is Golden -- It might be the fresh sweet corn. -- Baabra Lammont

There has been a run lately of personals and columns turning up in the wrong
arenas. When you email in something, check and make sure you have the correct
arena number! It's easy for a finger to slip onto the wrong key. When the
receipt comes back, check again to be sure it went where you intended!
Vigilance is your friend, and mine too. -- the Editor
