DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I guess that was the best way to ensure I didn't drop out of the
Challenger Champions. Not too bad for someone who was once 3-3. Red Mare, you are
always a worthy opponent. Once again, I will be issuing no challenges or avoids, I
hope someone steps up to take the throne.
Now, Guido has a few things to say, he thinks some of you may be a bit
surprised.
Zot
For the curious, Zot is 11-8-14-14(1)-17-4-17, with Advanced Experts in Initiative
and Defense, Experts in Attack and Riposte. He just earned his Attack rating in his
last fight. He'd have been off to 107, but I just realized I forgot to send in his
arena selection sheet. D'oh!
Guido
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for LAPUR. Like, THE GUILD had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by THE TAKEN! Way to go THE TAKEN! I
don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but SHADOWMIST really goofed with
their 0-0-0. One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 1 after going
5-0-0. Keep it up, THE TAKEN! MVP award for TOADSMACKER? THE TAKEN's proud of him
after beating THE USEROUS MERCHANT and getting 19 points. Talk about yer big time
losers! FLEDGELING got smashed by UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, and lost 14 points! Oh, wow,
like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all LAPUR. He got the most
challenges. (But what about proposals?) Like, ALI BOOMBAH YAY must be pretty gutsy!
He challenged the Duelmaster from THE GUILD. Does this guy have a death wish or
what! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think ZOT should let ALI
BOOMBAH YAY be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Who was the
wiseguy that said LAPUR's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Burning Tree?
Don't look at me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? CARDOW HUNTERS was LAPUR's most avoided team. Is
there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are DEVIATION? CARDOW
HUNTERS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an
invitation! People were asking me did ROOKIE MISTAKE REALLY challenge WINDGLASS?
(all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight,
or anything, but WINDGLASS wants me to write about it since he was beat by ROOKIE
MISTAKE. Satisfied?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Like, who is this guy??? BORAN RAGNARSON gets sent to the Dark Arena,
battles SHEWISH GIANT, and returns to tell of it!!! I bet THE GUILD manager is
surprised! Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!! LAS VEGAS returns from the Dark Arena,
maybe a "little upset" at its TOURIST TRAPS teammates... Hey you guys, don't you
think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for
you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. LAPUR is like such a dump, and you guys smell
too much! I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Soyuse -- Ouch! You hit hard! Fortunately, I hit MORE. :) -- Mosidae
Red Mare -- Sorry if I was a bit rough, I just wanted to make sure I got my last two
political points. -- Zot
Cassius -- Cassius! Cassius! Cassius! -- a disgruntled Boran Ragnarson
Hunter -- What are you hunting? Just curious. -- Fledgeling
Dances with Rain -- I thought that might happen if we fought again. I wasn't about
to challenge to find out, mind you. -- Wyren
Zot -- Obviously, Shierrah is with you. Congratulations! -- All of us here at the
Cardow Hunters
Shine -- Eh? Down where? I've lost the trail of this exchange, sorry. -- Sandstorm
Toadsmacker -- Ah... okay. -- Hunter
P.S. But that didn't get rid of the warts.
Wyren -- Probably so, but not MY relatives, I hope. -- Dances with Rain
Fledgeling -- Right, the beard was so scratchy. I don't know how men stand it. --
Dances with Rain
Zot -- I was glad to give you that final boost, but I'll miss you here, too. -- Red
Mare
Linnaeus -- Make that "Linnaeum prostratum," yes? -- Sandstorm
Grievous -- Just trying to make your attitude understandable, or something. Or to
hand it back to you. Or, well, something. I mean, I don't do this fancy word stuff.
-- Windglass
Fledgeling -- You know, I could have done without that loss. Easily. -- Hunter
Wyren -- Oh, it's you. I wouldn't mind being friendly, but I don't know if I could
ever feel comfortable with someone who has red hair. It's the mark of Chaos, after
all. *I* don't have red hair. -- Dances with Rain
