DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The thing that Sad Slacks perhaps didn't realize, is that my mother believed
that the eleventh commandment had to do with ironing. I can't tolerate "sad" slacks
drooping around.
Billy Jack
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, WILLAF? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see SNAKE win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SNAKE beat
TRICILLIAD and TRICILLIAD lost 10 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.
WILLAF, I am losing what little hope I had in you. PUNNY AMINALS the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like GOLDEN GLADIATORS
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, GOLDPLATED was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in WILLAF to get a drink than The Swinging
Aardvark! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you
have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see the crowds are getting
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Look at those Punny Aminals with the Top Team On The Move and The Duelmaster! Kudos.
-- Midas, Golden Gladiators
Billy Jack, Duelmaster, and hard to best! -- The Golden Gladiators
Lonely Handmedowns -- Don't look so sad. My flashy win was a good thing! -- Gold
Locket
John Dere -- You stripped my plating like a plow to the earth! Just goes to show
that "nothing runs like a..." -- Goldplated (scratched and tarnished, too)
Convicted Thief -- I did not know that I was to be your firing squad. They had to
pay me big time for that kill! -- Gold Dubloon
Malcorn Insurgent -- Aw, go sit on the concrete with the rest of those Wall Street
demonstrators. Your protest is not needed here. -- Good As Gold (feelin' pumped with
that win)
All -- May your lives be filled with health and happiness and gold. -- Midas
Midas -- Such sarcasm! We hardly looked for it from you. -- Jorja
Gold Charm -- No, it was NOT inevitable. It was just luck. -- Ripley Byrd
P.S. And a certain ample measure of charms.
Longing Leggings -- It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have legs to long for. --
Ripley Byrd
Goldplated -- A golem? How am I to dress for a golem? If you think I'm going to
clothe myself in tinfoil unmentionables, you can think again, old fellow. -- John
Dere
Galen -- Ah! I've been meaning to ask you, are you the Galen who wrote the herbal?
A good piece of work, that. -- Horus Mann
The Ambitious Guard is a certified hunk, but that isn't enough to win fights. Just
as well. -- Dee Nile

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 13-15, 2012. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $134.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 15
before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been

sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to
it and that we will see you there!
