DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Ah, Frogpaler, you're looking, if you will forgive the play on words, a little
pale. A sort of delicate chartreuse, in fact. Startling in contrast with the blood.
I will admit that I didn't expect to two-shot you.
Jock MacBeagh
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! SOUND had cause to celebrate, after RAUCOUS
got 25 points by beating RED. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, NO TURN was
winsome, after beating HUM and seeing him lose 20 points. THE DARK FROG found out
that MURSKA isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word
has it one team in MURSKA is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed
life!
So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the
lion, so did the "warriors" in MURSKA avoid BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE. The warriors of
BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE found their efforts at combat frustrated as BATTLE FROGS
apparently had more important things to do than fight.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Oh hard! that
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in MURSKA is the highlight of my life. Keep those
sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Mace Face Frog -- You should sue! -- Sean ap Kormak
Mel -- Have you considered that your problem might be the Commission? They get these
weird notions of race, and the consequences of mis-representation are often
surprising. -- Deirdrie
Dorsum -- Making sound with your back? An odd technique. -- Sean ap Kormak
The steward called it "unbelievable," but *I* believe that Savage Beating "bested"
me. Worsted would be more like it. At least, *I* feel worsted. -- Fin mac Karmek
Hum -- You made my ears buzz. -- Oisin

looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
