DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
That was the mature and thoughtful decision, Deo Volente. When you are
"dangerously stunned," accept the loss.
Modern Maturity
P.S. And try not to be so grudging next time. Sulking and pouting is childish.
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ZUWAYZA, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! JAGUAR WARRIORS had cause to celebrate, after DEO
VOLENTE got 23 points by beating HELENA. A certain someone should cut down on the
drinking and practice more, after losing 9 points to CARY YON. (Discrete enough,
HIDEKI HAO?) You could cut the tension with a scimitar as VED BUENS ENDE of JAGUAR
WARRIORS met the Duelmaster. MODERN MATURITY successfully staved off a grab for the
roses by VED BUENS ENDE of JAGUAR WARRIORS. Does ZUWAYZA have no one talented enough
to dethrone it? Word has it one team in ZUWAYZA is using psychics to predict wins.
They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in
VALAMOND'S CREW are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of JAGUAR WARRIORS, so did that sorry
team shy from VALAMOND'S CREW Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and HELENA is
it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't VALAMOND'S CREW proud!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Perhaps JAGUAR WARRIORS were the only ones left untouched by HELENA demise. Can
anyone ever take hers place? Or do I exaggerate? The audience gave a nice round of
rasberries to SPORTS III of THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS, for expiring in such an ungraceful
fashion. 14-25-1, indeed! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must
needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ZUWAYZA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Sports Ill -- Next time I'm using a deadlier weapon. -- Ved Buen Ende
Modern Maturity -- Your turn to write a DM column. Don't fail us. -- Deo Volente
Bryan -- So much for your undefeated record. Now you're just an ordinary warrior
just like the rest of us. -- Heded Hag
Hot Rod -- I think I found my favorite weapon. What do you think? -- Hideki Hao
Geene Pool -- Ugh! My career is gonna be long and lonely. And lousy. -- Matarse
Fury
Valamond -- We are Servants of Kjarran! It is our duty to make sacrifices to Our
Lord Kjarran. We are thinking of sacrificing one of yours next. -- Noachian, Servant
of Kjarran, mgr. Jaguar Warriors
Helena -- Come on, get a little closer. I'm waiting for you. -- Ved Buens Ende
Ved Buens Ende -- Well, drat. You just don't have the sporting attitude. Remember,
it isn't whether you win or lose (so you might as well lose) but how you play the
game that matters. Right? -- Sports Ill.
P.S. No, of course you don't believe me. I'm just not persuasive enough. Darn.
Hideki Hao -- You might as well WALK if you're going to be like that! -- Hot Rod
P.S. And I'll come roaring up behind you and RUN YOU DOWN. So there.
So, is this "Persistent Beggar" a normal opponent? Should I work out the proper
tactics for dealing with him? Force him into the side of a hill, perhaps.... Hmm.

Mordant being drained of its fighting strength by desertion! Read all about it! --

Helena -- You'd better! -- Hot Rod
10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there
could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great
14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:
The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
