DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, all --
A bit of a surprise for me. I expected to have to pound on scum to take the title.
I spend all this money to recall the Duelmaster and he doesn't even show up! I guess
Blind Illusion got stuck in all that holiday traffic. Instead I took a few and gave
back more as I brushed aside No Hurry yet again.
Of course that puts me here having to put together a column. Far be it from me to
shirk my responsibilities. Unfortunately (or fortunately--I'll let you decide), I am
not as mind-numbingly verbose as Kellumbo. Combined with the fact I am ghost writing
for my buddy Minos over in Sunset, it means I will have to keep this short.
Not a lot of guys to challenge. Two who sat it out last turn and The Scorpion, who I
believe I have already beaten. I may wind up fighting a Captured Orc for the title!
I'll let Rupert fill in the challenges for me--he certainly doesn't appear to be able
to fight so maybe he can write something.
Finally, welcome to Solven, Project Mayhem and The Seekers. Stick around--this is a
fun place. And where are the other Seekers?--you imply more than one but only Cypher
has come out to play.
Happy new year to all!
Darrell Issa
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for MICHAEL MOORE, who
flew up 13 points in the rankings after mashing RUPERT MURDOCH like a melon. Keep
your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was NAME DROPPER, who
dropped 12 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with CLINT EASTWOOD.
Drawing on all of hers experience as a 12-7-0 warrior, ROE V WADE went for the
Duelmastership against DARRELL ISSA this week. Going for the gusto and coming up
with aught but bloody knuckles was THE DEMOCRATS' ROE V WADE, who was turned away
from the Duelmastership by DARRELL ISSA. Advice to bashers--never force anything,
just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the SOLVEN arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad THE REPUBLICANS? Big bad THE
REPUBLICANS. Big bad THE REPUBLICANS. SOLVEN's afraid of the big bad THE
REPUBLICANS. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause KELLUMBO'S KIDS beats feet every time THE REPUBLICANS smiles at
them. Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of ANTHONY SCALIA,
who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched'
warrior, MAYBE LATER went after ANTHONY SCALIA, who was higher by 25 points. Well,
when the dust settled, MAYBE LATER subdued ANTHONY SCALIA.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the SOLVEN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya next time
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Well, it finally had to happen. A losing turn. It feels like it has been almost a
year since that has happened. Solven, you have earned my silence, or as near to it
as you deserve, for this turn. Well done. -- Detective Kellumbo
Kellumbo -- Nice 18 point downchallenge. You must have felt pretty stupid when you
lost. -- Judge
Happy Holidays everybody! -- Al Gore
Clint Eastwood -- Should have equipped a gun. Haha! -- Al Gore
Is this all? Surely there are some ads missing here. -- Ed.
