DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
All right! That makes four of these DM Crowns. I wonder if they are made of
gold. I like gold. Gives me a sense of peace and prosperity. Know what I mean?
I've beaten a Snake, a Punny Aminal, an NPC skunk, and a Talon. Sounds like my
own personal menagerie, doesn't it? Will the next one be a chicken? Or will he
chicken out?
I wish I could give you some great words of wisdom, but, then, I am merely
plated, not the real thing, but I do like Tab, which is made by the same people that
keep singing "the real thing."
And if I revealed the makeup of all five of us Golden Gladiators, which is a
common thing for a Consortium Duelmaster, we would all only end up embarrassed and
Midas would probably be mad. (Not because I revealed tham, but because no manager
would keep a team with stats like that. He has to keep up his reputation, you know?)
So I will say....
Happy Valentine's Day
Have a safe Presiden't Day
Hide eggs for the kiddies at Easter
and
I'm outta here for now.

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly WILLAF games. Former top team SHADOWMONGERS was
unseated this week as GOLDEN GLADIATORS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top
spot with a 5-0-0 record for the round. WELL DON caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested EVEBRINGER and was awarded 18 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, WELL DON put down
EVEBRINGER, causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Although
SNAKE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious
GOLDPLATED. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week,
the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city WILLAF. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in WILLAF these
days is REALLY?. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Methinks
more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last
week avoiding REALLY?. Indeed it was GOLDEN GLADIATORS. Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. BLACK INDEKKER take warning! You have more
than a few enemies in WILLAF.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and
assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in WILLAF as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

PERSONAL ADS
Well Don -- "Target"? Did I actually call you a target? That does not sound like a
golden style at all. Perhaps I was referring to your once perfect record as a
target? Be it as it may, we Golden Gladiators do not have targets. Good luck to
you. -- Midas
Everbringer -- It felt good to use that "BF" symbol and see that it really works.
(That one is for you, Heart Of Gold.) Nope, BF is not a knocked-down version of BFF.
-- Gold Dubloon (feeling mighty rich at the moment)
Nightstalker -- I salute your competance and my incompetance. -- Golen Globe
Twilo Talon -- Some days you get the bear, and other days the bear gets you. (Sorta
like, some days you get the bird; somedays you give the bird.) -- Goldplated
Hori Bull -- That felt like gold, but it was over too quick! -- Golden Flash
Whip Sawyer -- Sure! I like dinner with wine and all. I also like older men. By
the way, I love your name; it reminds me of a couple of really old men, the boss
probably knew--Whip Wilson and Tom Sawyer. -- Golden Girl
Health. Humility. Honor. And a wheelbarrow of gold. -- Midas
Moonsinger -- It was worth a shot. Maybe if I hadn't started celebrating before the
match was over... -- Well Don
The Ambitious Guard was, ahem, easy for ME. An orc, you know. Pshaw. -- Black
Indekker
Golden Flash -- Damn, I was doing really well, I was AHEAD, and then you FLASHED--
And by the time I could see again, you'd won. -- Hori Bull
I could be insulted by being matched against a Convicted Thief, but I don't mind the
win at all. -- Whip Sawyer
Inked Up -- And now the ink is all over my cushions. How'm I going to get that
cleaned up? -- Sofa'yam
The Malcorn Insurgent was, ah, at least he SAID he was just trying to get home.
Which is a long way off, apparently. But I said, "So what?" -- Hazel Nutte
