DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Banana Boy, it isn't going to work. I know you hunger to be on our team, to
show yourself worthy of being one of the Children of Llyr, and the gods know your
record DOES show that, but the transfer wouldn't be sanctioned.
Culann Coontz
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in MURSKA since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Ya gotta be quick on yer
feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! FLIPPERS ARCADE
is now ranked 5th with a 1-1-0 turn. What's with VEXED VIKING? He actually beat
BUSY, BUSYTOWN's TOURNEY SCUM, and walked away with 24 more points from the fight.
Major screwup at CHILDREN OF LLYR. BILDIS lost 10 points to UGLY GENTLEMAN. Some
new strategies, perhaps? Maybe BILDIS will provide more easy wins... Apparently
MURSKA isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought. The Dreaded
Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn! PHILANTHROPISTS 3's hatred of CHILDREN OF
LLYR surfaced again as GARTH THE SEAMITE challenged MURSKA's top dog. I can barely
restrain my enthusiam for PHILANTHROPISTS 3's outstanding member, Duelmaster GARTH
THE SEAMITE. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your
fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, CHILDREN OF LLYR!
The bums at ERRATA couldn't face the challenges from CHILDREN OF LLYR! No excuse for
that!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. HYPER VIPER larned his lesson (BALIN taught it
well), and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any CHILDREN OF LLYR members
with the same gusto. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
