DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My apologies for not getting a better column out this turn but it has been a hectic
couple of weeks. So you get a minimalist column that is not even written by the
master of writing, Greth. Intentionally bad writing and grammar is much harder than
unintentional bad writing and grammar, which just comes naturally. If I get really
lucky and go 5-0 this turn I think I might have a shot at taking the career top team,
but I doubt this squad can pull that off. It is much more of a 3-2 type of team than
a 5-0 type team. Talk to you all next turn, hopefully.
Rillion
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to ARVAT once again! It seems so recently people were saying
ANGELS OF PAIN was washed up, finished. But 5-0-0 moved them up 0. I guess they're
washed no more... What's with TORMENT? He actually beat PHILANTHROPISTS' JHANTI
GRAVETT, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight. Major screwup at
PHILANTHROPISTS. JHANTI GRAVETT lost 10 points to TORMENT. Some new strategies,
perhaps? Maybe JHANTI GRAVETT will provide more easy wins... I'm sure ARVAT is
excited about FURY, the new Duelmaster from ANGELS OF PAIN. (remember?) But when
you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to
practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive,
PHILANTHROPISTS! The bums at DEVIL ADVOCATES couldn't face the challenges from
PHILANTHROPISTS! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, HERON! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
Fighting is a better craft than farming, ROLAND, but you have to pay your dues.
Being challenged by MIMOSA, 21 points above you, is dues. Just who can MIMOSA beat?
I mean, the last matchup with lesser-ranked ROLAND shoulda been a piece of cake! I
hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that DAMNATION gets in.
He fights people like LOGGERHEAD, 13 points below. I thought DAMNATION showed great
skill and promise when he won victory over LOGGERHEAD. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover
stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Dark One -- Indeed. "Setbacks" have nothing to do with my current status on Ghea. --
The Icelord
Phifden -- Hey, what do you know, my strategy change actually worked. I am beginning
to think Rillion might occasionally not be a complete idiot of a manager, but then I
look and see Gelen still hasn't been sent to the DA and I realize he is a complete
idiot. -- Demetren
Peter Pepper -- Okay, I have not improved enough yet. -- Gelen
Damnation -- Greth too fast for you. -- Greth
Justice -- Apparently you are slow and tire quickly in addition to being blind. --
Roland
I. M. Ceytin -- Get they behind me! Or at least lower in the ranks, you devil. --
Demmell
Tripwire -- Everything Greth do nice. Greth real nice guy. -- Greth
Fury -- Me thank Dwarf, me like gifts! -- Greth
Heron -- Dwarf growth hormone? -- Demmell
Mimosa -- It's weird that you're a guy. -- Loggerhead
Gelen -- But just think, it's pizza night! -- Peter Pepper
P.S. Yeah, okay, I don't like 'em either, but it means no cooking, so the house is
cooler.

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe

Our newest Dark Knight disrespected?!?!?! ARE THEY SERIOUS?!?! If at all possible,
let's get over to 31. I'm on the way. Let's get 'em. -- Dark Knight Osiris
