DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Very good, Grinch takes his victorious self off, leaving the title vacant and
kicking one of the hotter out of the way. Not to mention Happy Fun Time going
inactive. So I defeat a Venomous Concubine and take the title and some further
political points. All good. Maybe graduation is in my future! Stranger things have
happened.
Madon ap Llew
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon MURSKA, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing is certain in MURSKA, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--SOUND. He who
laughs last didn't get the joke. Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe SEA DOGS.
Last week they got 0-0-0 to drop by 5! SOUND had cause to celebrate, after MEL got
17 points by beating DEIRDRIE. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, MEL was
winsome, after beating DEIRDRIE and seeing her lose 13 points. Now I can't insult
FREE CHEESE!!, as it has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!!
(Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in MURSKA is using psychics
to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
And how sociable are MURSKA's warriors? Come, let us see. Like the noble eagle
soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of SEA DOGS, alone and
unchallenged. The warriors of SEA DOGS found their efforts at combat frustrated as
SOUND apparently had more important things to do than fight. Is it charming
personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, JOCK
MACBEAGH is the most challenged warrior.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Q: What's a
record like 6-6-1 get you? A: A free trip to the Dark Arena! This week's winner:
WORATHALON of PHILANTHROPISTS! Hey PHILANTHROPISTS 3! Is there some deep dark,
unmentionable secret as to why ORDENASH has been sent to the Dark Arena? 2-0-0
isn't so shabby! The manager at PHILANTHROPISTS 2 must have some new strategy for
sending AHANTI GRAVETT, a warrior with 2-0-0, to the Dark Arena. Watch this space!
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen
into an unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! As the seasons change, and the creatures of the
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Can anything compare
to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for MURSKA? On that giddy note I take my
leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Trim -- I met Coach Rah Rah at The Consortium headquarters and relayed your message.
He seemed pleased and thankful and asked me to relay, "Good luck to you and your
Sounds team. Keep reading the DM93 newsletter and watch for the spotlights from
Smithy now. I am pleased you are back in Alastari and happy that I could add, in any
way, to your new successes." -- Grinch, retired
P.S. That concludes Consortium involvement in DM35, at least for now.
Madon Ap Llew -- To gain the top position over Venomous Concubine (standby) seems
wrong! -- Trim
Finn mac Karmek -- I have Mel training in the meat locker. An old trick from some
Rocky guy. She is tenderizing "round house" steaks! -- Trim
Blowfish -- You blew me off my feet! -- Tap
Mel -- Oh, hey, I thought it was the WAITERS who sang! YOU don't have to sing for
your supper, you know. -- Finn mac Karmek
Whistle -- Odd, I didn't realize I was demonstrating initiative out there. -- Finn
mac Karmek
Timbre -- Hmm, we were quite the pair out there. I think you probably had the style
advantage. I'm basically a fisherman, and there's no advantage in the arena to being
good with oars and fishnets and stuff. -- Sean ap Kormak, reconsidering his arena
enrollment
Maynard -- If that isn't just LIKE a nerd! Always taking offense. Nobody said I had
to date you, did they? I was polite, wasn't I? And then you get all worked up and
SAVAGE. -- Deirdrie
Ah, Dangerous Criminals! Preferable to nerds, I'm sure. Not that a nerd has ever
asked ME for a date. -- Jock MacBeagh
