DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It is better to be lucky than good. I am, indeed, retiring from fighting, but
Assur has given me a contract to be a consultant and help teach some of his younger
bashers. He says I'm a natural Basher! So not only do I gain immortality and a job,
but I get to travel around Alastari.
Hair in Sink
***
Hair in Sink graduates: 12(1)-6-15-11-15-14-12 B Great Dmg (from train) Skills at
18/9/20/3/2/18, faves of VH/LO QS learns init. He was an also ran (good enough for
me to run him with teammates, not good enough to warrant running by himself). I
strongly suspected I was hitting at least some of his faves because he won in spite
of his skills, learning just 29 skills in 32 FE. I believe he is my lowest skilled
grad ever that didn't wear plate to graduation.
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ZUWAYZA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. SERPENTS HOLD II turned their 1-0-0
turn into a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you
get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see GRIZZ GRIMHULT
win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, GRIZZ GRIMHULT beat FREE PARKING
and FREE PARKING lost 13 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and
inability to defend the throne, HAIR IN SINK has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start
setting that alarm earlier! I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling
you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, ZUWAYZA?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ZUWAYZA's
morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the ZUWAYZA arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Just in case anyone was wondering. The WF sucks as an offensive weapon. I decided
to let Milk is Out use it for his final fight that mattered almost not at all and he
single handedly reminded me all the reasons to not use it in most situations. --

The Housemates are going to shut down for a while, most likely not returning until
sometime after next winter's Face to Face tourney. -- Assur

Chance Card -- You were seen in conversation with The Enquirer. Since nothing is
accidental and there are no coincidences, you are implicated in the unwarranted
