DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hello, Solven. It is good to back home. After many years on vacation, I
decided it was time to come back and have fun. I did not expect to be Duelmaster on
my first turn back with a random match. I doubt I can keep the seat for long, since
I will challenge Rockit this turn. Silver Seas, was a good match, many skills were
learned. Note to future challengers of Silver Seas, aim for the groin. Apparently
that is his weak spot. Wear a cup, bud.
See you on the sands!
R.V.W
SPY REPORT
Good day, in SOLVEN a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as 80'S DISCO is pushed out of top team by MIDDLE WAY 15, who came from
4th with a 5-0-1 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for 80'S DISCO, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 5th.
MIDDLE WAY 15 stable has parlayed this turn's 5-0-1 into a 3 space move up the
rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys! SOLVEN welcomes a new
team to our ranks, unofficially of course, for now. But welcome nonetheless to PRIME
MEAT. Let's see what you can do. And let's see, JAYNE PENN fought LITTLE WORLD and
gained 27 points and contributed to MIDDLE WAY 15's 5-0-1. FIRE has lost to CHARLES
RANGEL, falling 14 points, while helping make ARE YOU ? a 0-5-0 turn. The attempts
to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ROE V WADE 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.
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. Hearty mugs of ale were raised in
SOLVEN today as LITTLE WORLD was bid farewell to a 6-3-0 warrior, with JAYNE PENN of
MIDDLE WAY 15 standing silent and pensive. Is it really true that SOLVEN has more
dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in SOLVEN and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

PERSONAL ADS
Good day to all in Solven! It is good to playing the game again. Some things you
can never just give up on. This game being one of those things that just stick with
you. I was never an elite manager, but I had a my share of fighters who dominated
till graduating. Just not the current guys. Let's just say, I wouldn't mind if a
few died. Hope the Duel2 gods bless you all with good favs. -- Al Gore
Blood Clot -- Really, 3 solid hits in the first minute, and nothing. Must be nerf
weapons. -- Al Gore
The insurance companies provided them.
Down Under -- C'mon, what is with all the nerf weapons. Three crits in the first
minute, and you fight the rest of the match on your back. That is some cheating.
You must be a Republican. Next time, you won't be able to "fix" the match. -- Al
Gore
Was it broken?
Chucky -- Enjoy the skills. Great comeback after those hits you ate. -- Al Gore
Confusion -- Thanks for the skills! Feel free to challenge Charles Rangel anytime.
I like my opponents who drop after 1 hit. -- Al Gore
Seriously, glad to see you back and talking.
One-four again. I hope this is NOT a habit we're forming! Fortunately, our new
member drew a standby and dealt with that creep in the proper fashion. You can't let
these constables get too friendly, you know. It leads to Problems. -- Nyssa Rye
