At long last, I am your Duelmaster! It's been a long time coming. Thanks to Erbin Frorlin for quickly giving up the throne and for the skills. Up next is my rival, Straight Line. I am 2-5 against him. Let's have at it! Hopefully, it won't be long before I get my invite. Then I'm off to my plot of land to become the farmer I was meant to be. No more fighting for me. Etien Haxan Servant of Kjarran Balance of Terror SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. BALANCE OF TERROR now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. It looks like the guys(?) at MIDDLE WAY had a good week as they went 4-1-0 to put them in 3rd place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for QUINTUS, who flew up 16 points in the rankings after mashing PERSISTENT BEGGAR like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was YELLOW ORC, who dropped 5 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with MAYHEM. Unlike most arenas, ETIEN HAXAN managed to get his challenge off against the 20-29-1 STRAIGHT LINE. Our battling duelmaster ETIEN HAXAN has managed to hold the title, fending off STRAIGHT LINE's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, MIDDLE WAY. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ's warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who like math, try this one: AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ + Weapons That go Boom = FIELDS OF ELYSIUM + Avoid City. Well just about everybody wants a piece of STRAIGHT LINE, who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, ARTEMIDORUS went after VIOLET ORC, who was higher by 18 points. Well, when the dust settled, ARTEMIDORUS was beat by VIOLET ORC. Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Yesterday I talked to the FIELDS OF ELYSIUM's manager and ERBIN FRORLIN, slayer of SAPHRONICUS. The manager: 'I think I can, I think I can'. ERBIN FRORLIN: 'I already did'. Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ALJAFIR have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.
