DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail Warriors of Zuwayza! I have returned from the recent tournament as a Tournament
Victor for our fine city! And after a massive bloodfeud down challenge, I somehow
manage to become Duelmaster in the process.... A great turn for us all the way
around. Free fights, the title, a bloodfeud, 2 NPC kills and our team record
breaking into 50% territory. The only downside, a dismal replacement roll-up from
the Dark Arena. But hey, you can't have everything!
This turns T.V. challenge goes out to Blood Sports. I'm still thinking that Aurora
can beat me, so I will avoid there as well as these Sierra guys in case they return.
They have some nice win/loss records... Get off to AD already alright so things go
easy for me up here!!!
Again, it's nice to be back in our fair city. Caesar plans on running full time here
for the foreseeable future. Looks like some good teams here and a solid little
arena. Welcome to the Army of Darkness. Hope to see you stick around and expand
upon your team.
Until next time...if there is one...I remain...
Dardanius, Duelmaster
Ides of March (226)
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! IDES OF MARCH? Who? TEAM CHAOS is the top team these days, buddies!
What's a move up by 3 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for
celebration, according to TAHAHN HAH. Good things come to those who fight well, as
TEAM CHAOS can attest, moving up by 1. Practice pays for PUBLIUS, who pummelled
TIMES, to pocket 20 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 17 points to HIDEKI HAO. (Discrete enough, NIFTY
NICKEL?) Duelmaster DARDANIUS from IDES OF MARCH is going for the gold, as he TV
challenged THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' BLOOD SPORTS. Ooh, the excitement! DARDANIUS
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by BLOOD SPORTS of THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS.
Does ZUWAYZA have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who's the team that's
been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of TEAM CHAOS should take up
some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of TEAM CHAOS found
their efforts at combat frustrated as IDES OF MARCH apparently had more important
things to do than fight. Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and BLOOD SPORTS is
it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS proud!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Questions are being
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in
ZUWAYZA would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. ZUWAYZA, I leave
you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Drunken Ox. 'Til next
time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Flavius Valerius -- Nicely done. You are a worthy opponent. -- Hideki Hao
Hot Rod II -- Not as good as Hot Rod I. What are you missing? -- Matarse Fury
Dardanius -- Hope you got that out of your system because you are not getting another
chance. -- Venenoso
Soltice -- How did you survive that first minute? You should be dead. -- Fregadera
Publius -- That was my mistake. Next time I'll be ready for you. -- Rechoncho
Matarse Fury -- Well, drat. I was licked before we started that fight, because I
couldn't help remembering what a stunning vision you were AHEAD of me in the chariot
race. Darn. -- Hot Rod
P.S. And you're a stunning vision on the sands, too.
Aurora -- I was all set to take your ad when this rather chaotically colored light
blinded me. It was, you understand, very beautiful and all that, but it was also a
darned nuisance when it came to noting down the terms of your ad. So if there are
errors in transcription, well, they aren't MY fault. -- Nifty Nickel
White Chocolate -- Too bland. You need red spots, like blood. -- Blood Sports
P.S. Perhaps, what do they call them? Cinnamon imperials? When I was a kid, they
were redhots.
Gimme Some Sugar -- Demanding runt, aren't you? Well, it serves you RIGHT if I
crashed onto your stupid land carriage. -- Flight Journal
Caramel -- Your suggestion that you, er, suborn the Editor In Chief was, ah, how can
I say this? It was...too sticky for our office. We like to keep things crisp. --
Times
P.S. But Jorja has promised me that the next recruit WILL BE Vogue, and she will
have a feature article on you.
Our congratulations to Hawkins. -- the Magnificent Mags
Hawkins -- Who are you? Why haven't we seen you? -- Hot Rod
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
