DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It's pretty disgusting, when you look at it. *I* win my fight, I win the TITLE,
and S.L. is the one who graduates? Life is so unfair!
Erbin Frorlin
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! BALANCE OF TERROR? Who? AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ is the top team these
days, buddies! Those betting on BALANCE OF TERROR lost their shirt, as BALANCE OF
TERROR lost their fighting abilities: 1-3-1. Practice pays for AIM OBTUSE HAMMER,
who pummelled THE USEROUS MERCHANT, to pocket 17 points. YELLOW ORC certainly had a
baffled expression on his face, after losing to COLOSSUS and losing 14 points in the
process! In ALJAFIR, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a
new Duelmaster, AIM SEDUCE HAMMER. Word has it one team in ALJAFIR is taking speech
lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ, alone and unchallenged.
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of FIELDS OF ELYSIUM, so did that
sorry team shy from AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and
YELLOW ORC is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't HEROESANDFOUNDONES
proud!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... The audience gave a
nice round of rasberries to BLOODHOWL of STEEL WOLVES, for expiring in such an
ungraceful fashion. 4-10-0, indeed! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes
for thee.
All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Can
anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for ALJAFIR? On that giddy
note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Erbin Frorlin -- You are interfering with my plans to hurt Wenol Varn! I was gonna
make him squeal like a stuck pig. I know you would have liked to see that. Now
somebody else will have to do that. -- Etien Haxan, Servant of Kjarran
Straight Line -- How did you get your invite? That was a pathetic performance. Not
worthy of a Lord Protector. -- Forcas
Mayhem -- You move too much. Stand still! Let me hit you! -- Maxa Smashu
Artemidorus -- Nicely done! 'Tis your victory this time. -- Hexim Hsidar
Aim Bitter Hammer -- You are the jackpot! We will fight again. Love those skills!
-- Nynaeve Haxan
I don't know if aimers have any "special enhancements", but it seems to me that my
fighters tend to learn more skills when fighting aimers. -- Noachian, Balance of
Terror
Forcas -- (with a look of insufferable smugness) Ha! No matter how much terror you
sling around, you can't unbalance a... Straight Line
Ah-HA! Let the Kung-Fu Master put THAT in his pipe and smoke it! -- Wendol Varn
P.S. Except the disgusting wight probably doesn't smoke. Drat.
The Khalhums Dwarf? But I didn't want to fight the Khalhums Dwarf? I have no
argument with the little runt, even if he IS insufferable sometimes. -- Vinn Wulf
P.S. Such as when he wins.
Yellow Orc -- I'm not getting this. They tell us the Commission takes note of our
names when determining our races, and I would THINK that someone with "Orc" for a
surname would BE an orc. Very strange. -- Stelra Tirins
SHORTSWORD? Moderate/very low? I don't BELIEVE this! I'm Cool, Courageous, and
Trustworthy, and the Commission can think of nothing better to do than give me a
wimpy shortsword and a tee-shirt that says "Born to Scum"? I think I've been
insulted. -- Lord Protector Straight Line
Shagrath, Assassin -- Well, what do you expect? Of course we'd rather win! -- Vinn
Wulf and Erbin Frorlin
20 April 2007
All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
