DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, well, well, Nero tried to get the title back from me, but he just wasn't
up to the challenge. Oh, by the way, old boy, thanks for your excellent tutoring.
So according to my boss, if I win next turn he believes I have achieved the required
levels to receive my invite to the Isle and in doing so I would become the first
member of the guild to graduate in 20 arena fights with no tourney participation.
Jeez, talk about putting the pressure on someone. Wish me luck.
Your Duelmaster Wenien
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of LAPUR. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. What's a move up by 4
you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to BLACK
SAMURAI. CARDOW HUNTERS had cause to celebrate, after WINTERSONG got 25 points by
beating CAIRRAIG AMADAN. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 17 points to CLAYBANK. (Discrete enough, SPIN MCDUECAN?)
Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by GRASSFIRE, of CARDOW
HUNTERS, who despite a 21-18-1 couldn't overcome LAPUR's Number 1. Word has it one
team in LAPUR is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of METAL MINCERS, alone and unchallenged. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, CLAN CROW scurried away from METAL MINCERS. Oh,
the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral
hygiene? Whatever it is, SOLWYN is the most challenged warrior. NERO challenged
MOTHIAS! Who says TREKKERS are just a bunch of wimps! NERO of TREKKERS kept his
wits as he was overcame by MOTHIAS.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
DARK CHAMPION in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for ENSIGN #10 of TREKKERS. Maybe that
certain serving girl(?) at The Warty Toad will be! Ask not a spymaster for counsel,
for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. LAPUR, I leave you now. The
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Warty Toad. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny

PERSONAL ADS
Mr. Visionist -- Fine point gain. It would have been nicer if you had one less,
though. (wink) -- Ora
Wenien -- You must be good to be a repeat Duelmaster. So I will say "kudos" on
behalf of our Metal Mincers. But every time I see that name, I think of a similar
sounding name, like a hotdog or floppish weapon, and I start to giggle, and I can't
stop. -- Ora
'Nuf, Orie! Ye gots ter much likker inya. Aye. -- Oremaster
Snowflake -- That was one of my better fights. I am more impressed with myself than
I once was, and that is a lot! -- Lead Lancer
Deanna Troi -- The fight this day went to the high tech borg. Life is sweet! --
Yungsten Twister
Qualm -- I thought I could crack that shell, but I did not have what it takes,
apparently. A salute to you--for now. -- Steel Squeezer
Good'n job, me borgs! 2-1 bea solid. Aye. -- Oremaster
Where have all Lapur managers gone?
Perhaps they have vacation hats on?
This is your day.
Come back and play.
We cyborgs want to be beat upon.
The Metal Mincers
Wha?!? What be that? -- Oremaster
Kinda cute, Hon; didn't you think? (giggle) -- Ora
Ora -- We at Clan Crow completely understand ye logic and what you be sayin! Here be
ta feeling better! Slanche! -- Owlsy and Clan Crow
Grassfire -- Did ye really have ta go ther for that last shot? Me be bringin o'
bucket o' water the next time! -- Cairaig Amadan *still holdin what be left o' the
family jewels*
Grassfire -- Me dannae be seein why the Commission dannae be likin ye. Me see ta be
"randomly" matched up ta ye a lot! What did ye do?! But, alas, me be getting ye no
longer as me be off ta the Isle. -- Pub O'Connor
Solwyn -- Not that me be aware of. However me do hear toucans be tasty if cooked
correctly. -- Spin McDuncan
Serve with mango chutney.
Mothias -- Good fight laddie! Me almost knocked the wind out ya! Ye got some moves!
Good match up for you dannae be so good for me! -- Spin McDuncan
Damn Persistent Beggars just dannae go away! Always askin for me money, me food, me
something! Well me be tire o' it and taught one o' those vagrants o' lesson! Mayhap
he spread the word ta the rost o' his chaps! -- Sinister Finn *still peeved but
feeling better about it*
Hmmm -- Just how does one get on the popular list AND the unpopular list at the same
time? Must be those Persistent Beggars! When me get me hands on another one o'
those louts...! -- Sinister Finn
Tungsten Twister -- Ah, hundred degree heat! Not here, not now. In the past, yes,
in the future, probably, but not any time soon. I don't miss it. -- Snowflake
Solwyn -- That's embarrassing. You short guys are always showing me up. -- Claybank
Cairraig Amadan -- Take that! It'll singe your whiskers. -- Grassfire
P.S. Thus giving you a STERLING reason to dampen them from a mug.
Why do we have Deadly Assassins running around here? -- Wintersong
Naowyn -- A mis-match for you, even if the steward didn't think so. -- Windflower
Lead Lancer -- You're too heavy. -- Snowflake
Nero -- How's the arm? <grin>. -- Wenien
Claybank -- Thanks, I need a boost in my confidence. -- Solwyn
Spin McDuecan -- Solwyn warned me about you. -- Mothias
Steel Squeezer -- Yanno for a golem your not bad. Get some rest. -- Qualm
Windflower -- Arrrgh, I let up for one second!!! Damned you!! -- Naowyn
Oremaster -- Thank you for the kind words, I think. My borg is a little rusty. --
