DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Experience does matter, and I am happy to be here. To Sad Slacks I wish to say,
you should have never let me get up off the sand. You are a fine opponent. Now
about this rumor of what I wear under my armor... Zontani, the clothing you speak of
are a medical need, prescribed by my doctor!! Stop peeking into the dressing room
you perverted jerk!!
Stoga Steel
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt WILLAF will ever be the same. And let's see, LONGING LEGGINGS fought MORGAR
and gained 18 points and contributed to EMOTIONAL PANTS' 1-2-0. SAD SLACKS has lost
to GOLD LOCKET, falling 11 points, while helping make EMOTIONAL PANTS a 1-2-0 turn.
We should ask GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE about the thrill of victory, and what being the new
Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred?
I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Welcome Wench uses trolls in their
stew. Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the EMOTIONAL PANTS stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on WILLAF, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
EMOTIONAL PANTS 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 EMOTIONAL PANTS' warrior SAD SLACKS. More fighters challenged it than
challenged the Duelmaster!
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. Is it really true that WILLAF has
more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, WILLAF, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Congratulations to Stoga Steel of Maximum Results, the epitome of an experienced
Duelmaster. -- Midas
Billy Jack -- Some days you get the pan; some days the pan gets you. I feel rich! --
Pan For Gold
Rypley Byrd -- And to think I thought it was great fun. To each his own. -- Gold
Charm
Captured Orc -- Thanks for the workout. Hey, didn't I see you in one of those Lord
Of The Ring movies? -- Goldplated
Only one, the pay is lousy and the underlying philosophy is deeply suspect. --
Geroge Bruk, Captured Orc and Political Theorist
Coyote -- A favorite wepon is hard to come by, and is a valuable tool. Does it
"overcome" some armor advantages? I can give you a resounding "maybe, maybe not".
If one has an awfully lot of attack skills (e.g. most aimers) it probably does.
Using a dagger or shortsword or epee against any armor probably fits, and if I knew
that weapon was a fave, it would be a definite yes. BUT, low attack warriors have
difficulty overcoming the armor advantages, and I believe a weapon more suited to the
armor works better. -- Midas
Sardo -- Why, thank you. A relaxed retirement is just what we want. Gracias! --
Midas and The Golden Gladiators
Coyote -- A wepon is a weapon is a wepon. I punched the send too soon on the above.
Perhaps favorite weapons always work, but favorite wepons don't? -- An embarrassed
Midas (who seldom has spelling errors, but often punches the wrong key)
All -- Oh fiddlesticks! One shotted by a stock warrior and lost the crown--how
embarassing. -- Morgar
Jorja -- Thanks for all yo have done for me. The stats on Sardo were revealing. I
have not had much success with that style. Maybe more "adjusting" on my part is
needed. Thanks. -- Coyote
Another open forum question -- How much effect do injuries have on the next fight?
Like you get a statement "Her arm hangs useless at her side." Does that mean she
will not be able to carry a weapon in that hand? How long does it take to heal--if
ever? -- Curious Coyote
Gold Locket -- You missed a good thing. I hit you with knowledge. -- Horus Mann
Pan for Gold -- I get rheumatiz in my joints if I go standing in cold water all the
time. -- Billy Jack
Gold Charm -- When I catch up with you in experience, things will be different. --
Ripley Byrd
Longing Leggings -- It's the legs that do me in, if you want to know. But the
leggings do show them off well. -- John Dere
Fletcher -- I seem to have a problem. I'd better do a study on it. -- Horus Mann
18 March 11
All -- Be aware of the comeback of the Cajun and his stables of gladiators! Just
sayin' -- The Cajun
