DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Dark Arena to Duelmaster. Some switch, eh? I've got my eye on this summer's
Champions so I must step down. Bilbray is a good teacher and, with 91 points, the
logical choice. Cadmus asked me to make a few announcements. First, in this good
company, he is glad to practice limb hunting. Second, he is moving a team with the
working name "Cry Havoc" from a closed arena to Solven. Hopefully, this will put the
commission boys out of work and make down challenges less necessary. Blessings upon
you all. <grin> -- Execrator
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of SOLVEN! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Woof! THE REPUBLICANS were a bunch
of dogs after MIDDLE WAY 15 got through with 'em! 4th ain't so sweet as 1st! What's
with RED STATE? He actually beat SOLVEN's TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE, and walked away with
20 more points from the fight. Major screwup at THE REPUBLICANS. GIULIANI lost 13
points to SIMPLETON. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe GIULIANI will provide more
easy wins... KELLUMBO'S KIDS' hatred of WILD OATS surfaced again as HOT TUB JOHNNY
challenged SOLVEN's top dog. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for KELLUMBO'S KIDS'
outstanding member, Duelmaster HOT TUB JOHNNY. Wouldn't it be nice to have live
subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted
prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
SOLVEN thinks KELLUMBO'S KIDS and their 373-177-10 is too much! If at first you
don't succeed, give up... In my day, no team with a 369-176-10 would scare me off!
What's the problem, THE REPUBLICANS? What do people see in TASHELL? Hers 28-10-0?
KELLUMBO'S KIDS ain't talkin', but she's got 107 points.
Warriors of SOLVEN unite. You have only your games to lose! How long have I
been here? I got people to see, places to go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. Are you
as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Bilbray -- Nice rating but, not enough. -- Execrator
Gallantins -- WhooHoo! I like to grapple, big boy! -- Josephine
Hot Tub Johnny -- Oh, it's you. -- Belissa Hough
P.S. If you won't SHARE that lovely hot water after bruising me all over, don't
expect more enthusiasm.
Kidnerguardian -- Well, all is not lost, you know. It takes real talent to keep a
houseplant alive. -- Chucker Istta
What is it with these Ambitious Guards? Is it something in their food that makes
them throw themselves pointlessly into the arena? -- Edgiles Kapp
Duncan Hunter -- Hey, it could've been worse! There you were, lying on the sand at
the end of the fight, and I did NOT try to bury you in it. -- Dolby Jossel
P.S. Because the Infirmarian offered me a bounty not to. Said it made her job
easier. Apparently digging sand out of wounds is tricky.
Josephine -- I may be confused, but not THAT confused: you DID invite me to share
your bathtub, did you not? I'll be there, as they say, with bells on. -- Gallantins
Morik
P.S. Come on, you know you'd like it. It isn't every day you meet someone as
insanely attractive as I am!
Cadmus -- She wasn't a Sand Dancer, she was, hmm, a Reformer, I think, from Kurukar:
Jo-an d'Arc, or something like that. -- Jorja
20 April 2007
All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
