DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I certainly must say, faking my death to get out of the Republicans, and into
Kellumbo's Kids was one heck of a smart move. Look at me now! I'm a Duelmaster,
with a pretty solid record (unlike when I was just average with Judge). Here's
hoping for a few more turns at the top and an invite to ADM soon.
-- Schwarzenegger
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt SOLVEN will ever be the same. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for MEDIEVAL CHAOS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by
5 into 7th. And let's see, SUPPLY SIDE fought ZOOIE and gained 15 points and
contributed to THE REPUBLICANS' 3-2-0. BLIZZARD has lost to ORON, falling 10 points,
while helping make JUST CHILLIN a 1-4-0 turn. And not without some honor, TAX
DEDUCTION now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of SOLVEN. By the way, was
that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Victory
Tavern?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. THE REPUBLICANS has cause to stand
tall, as they were SOLVEN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And avoiding THE REPUBLICANS more than any other team we find KELLUMBO'S
KIDS. SOLVEN, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports
fans, take notice that TAX DEDUCTION from THE REPUBLICANS was SOLVEN's most
challenged warrior this turn. ELEANORTH of KELLUMBO'S KIDS had better have a good
reason for challenging down 14 points in a challenge which she won. I thought
ELEANORTH showed great skill and promise when she overcame MARY JANE. All right, so
I slept through it! Big deal!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? The Victory Tavern declares a free round for CLINT EASTWOOD and all
of THE REPUBLICANS, for having revenged JUST CHILLIN's SNOWBALL for killing one of
their comrades. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in SOLVEN, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in SOLVEN again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Wow. A 5-0 turn, along with 6 awards. Sure is hard to top that. Heck, that even
made me get off of my butt and write a personal add. Go figure. -- Detective
Kellumbo
DOA Dominance -- Oh no, here we go again..... -- DK
Clint Eastwood -- Doesn't it just kill you when that happens? -- Name Dropper
Christine Gregoire -- I'm surprised you had time to WIN, you spent so much time and
effort LEARNING. Gods, that's amazing. Six skills and two ratings. Wish I could've
done as well. -- Zooie
P.S. Or, of course, won.
Kofi Annan -- I expected you to come with a doughnut. Coffee always comes with a
doughnut. -- Zebroe
Yasyn -- Your team name is too long. It gave you an unfair edge--while I was trying
to fit it into the space on my dance card, you just up and creamed me! And I'm on a
low-fat diet, too. -- Arishtarte

Amendment for "Fratsfa's Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
