DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Your problem, Ding Hao, is that you're a woman, and the arenamaster has this
fixed bias against women warriors. Unfortunate, unrealistic, but there it is. Ah,
but, you say, I am also a woman warrior? Not really, since I'm a golem. He can
overlook my feminine form, ass that he is. Life is strange, is it not?
White Wolf
P.S. Also, you were ranked too high. I don't know what the handicapper was thinking
of!
SPY REPORT
Hail ZUWAYZA! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. The SWEDEN guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the
future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, SUE SHE
fought SPORTS III and gained 10 points and contributed to FUNKY FOLK's 1-2-0. SPORTS
III has lost to SUE SHE, falling 9 points, while helping make THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS a
3-1-0 turn. ADARA AL ZAHRA challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting
to dethrone THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' warrior. Defending hers title for another turn,
WHITE WOLF kept JAGUAR WARRIORS' warrior, ADARA AL ZAHRA, from claiming the throne.
Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Drunken
Ox uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the SWEDEN stable was the
most avoided team this turn. Come on ZUWAYZA, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
SWEDEN more than any other team we find FUNKY FOLK. ZUWAYZA, are we going to accept,
or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was THE
MAGNIFICENT MAGS' warrior SPORTS III. More fighters challenged him 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. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in ZUWAYZA, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
