DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail and well met Seam. Seems I'm on top for another round. I am almost as surprised
by this as Alarond. If I win again drinks are on me down at the Green Axe.
-- Biff
SPY REPORT
It is time for us to travel through these sacred halls of Seam's arena, my sweets.
Welcome back to the arena, and I hope our few weeks apart from one another was
bearable for you. I know it was for me but only slightly. It was a monumental time
on the sands with shifts in the rankings. I look forward to highlighting it all for
you in the short time we have with one another.
Biff has been our reigning Duelmaster since turn 216. He has successfully held the
throne through one title defense. Today, Biff had his second opportunity to lay claim
to the highest honor in Seam. He was not challenged, or at least none that challenged
him were successful in their bids, but it was our Duelmaster's challenge that was
honored against Tumble Belly. With our Duelmaster on the sands, the crowd braced for
an epic championship battle! Let me tell you, they were not disappointed as the fight
waged for 5-minutes! Sadly, Biff was not able to hold onto his crown for another two
weeks. Arenamaster declared Tumble Belly to be our newest Duelmaster. Congrats to
Tumble Belly, who is managed by DMobster.
There were no deaths outside of the Dark Arena. This is a completely foreign
occurrence in our fair arena, but I must say they feel farther and farther apart as
the years progress. Maybe I am getting soft in my old age, my darlings. We humans do
tend to get more sentimental with time. Imagine what a blubbering mess I will be in a
few hundred years! Bah, no time to dwell on . . . well, time! We have arena news to
explore!
The other big news is Tumble Belly will leave us after fighting next turn. You know
the drill, my dears. We will have a new Duelmaster next turn. The question is always
will someone topple the newly minted Lord Protector, or will we get a new Duelmaster
via recognition points. I do love to watch the moves managers will make to put
themselves in a better position to claim arena glory! Ah, I do love these games!
I must depart, my sweets. It has been a long, mentally challenging day. The mental
challenge came mostly from Huard DePriest visiting from Shadowspire. Imagine a
rooster strutting around the yard trying to impress the hens, and you will get a good
picture of Huard in the Yellow Press offices. I think I'd rather fancy the rooster!
Come back in two weeks! I will see you then!

PERSONAL ADS
So, early in the pandemic I found myself listening to a particular Whitney Houston
song a LOT. I think I've mentioned it before, "My Love Is Your Love (Jonathan Peters'
Vocal Mix)", 13 minutes and 48 seconds of sweet techno Whitney helping us through a
dark, dark time. Listen to my lifeline -- http://tinyurl.com/486c95sh -- and tell me
if my wife was right to get mad at me for playing it constantly and eventually forcing
me to wear headphones. Anyway, now concerts are back on the menu, boys! I bought a
ticket to the Buzzcocks and was going to also buy a ticket to one of my favorite
groups in the entire world, Ministry, but they were SOLD OUT! Sure, the tickets went
on sale back in December but I was still surprised that there is a huge desire to see
a drugged-up past-their-prime industrial metal band. Anyway, I got onto what the kids
call a "third-party ticket reseller" and paid a bit too much but now I'm ready to tear
it up on April 5th! See ya in the mosh pit! -- Pappy
