DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It is an honor to once again sit upon Solven's throne. I particularly enjoyed
beating up Schwarzenegger to take it back. Contrary to Schwarzenegger's comments in
his column last cycle, he is hardly a better warrior than he was when he was on our
team. Instead, he has turned to the "dark side" by becoming a scum and bringing
shame to all who fight here in Solven. I am not sure I will be here next cycle.
There are a couple of challengers that seem to fight pretty well against me. Judge
says that I am only a slightly above average wall-of-steel. Either way, it has been
a pleasure serving as your Duelmaster.

SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in SOLVEN this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
KELLUMBO'S KIDS is pushed out of top team by JUST CHILLIN, who came from 2nd with a
3-2-0 this turn. OXYMORONS stable has parlayed this turn's 0-0-0 into a 4 space move
up the rankings. This brings them up to 8th place. Good work, guys! The attempts
to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and EASY BREEZE remains SOLVEN's top warrior
for another turn. 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. KELLUMBO'S KIDS has cause to stand
tall, as they were SOLVEN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And guess who avoided KELLUMBO'S KIDS stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was THE REPUBLICANS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was
THE ZOO's warrior ARISHTARTE. More fighters challenged her than challenged the
Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, ELEANORTH from KELLUMBO'S KIDS challenged up 18
points to fight ARISHTARTE from the THE ZOO stable. ELEANORTH perhaps got hers just
desserts, seeing as she overcame ARISHTARTE and ended up with 64 recognition points.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Kudos go out to CLINT EASTWOOD this
turn, for revenging THE REPUBLICANS' bloodfeud against JUST CHILLIN's warrior
BLIZZARD. Well done. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of
their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, SOLVEN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in SOLVEN, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Snowball -- Enjoy that beating? There is more where that came from. You may want to
think twice before you raise that kill desire next time, punk. -- Clint Eastwood and
The Republicans
Eleanorth -- Actually, if you borrowed anyone's armor, it would have to be your
mother's, wouldn't it? Those contours wouldn't fit a man's armor. -- Arishtarte
P.S. It adds new meaning to the concept of a "breast plate."
Bloody Kink -- I didn't expect you to be a golem. Does that mean that your golem-
maker is very kinky? -- Zooie
Frozen Fanny -- The concept makes icy chills run up and down my spine. -- Zebroe
P.S. And, er, other places.

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists
29 Jun 2005
The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
