DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I think there is a pattern forming here. Paws and I alternate turns fighting and we
share the DM throne. Only problem is when I get the thing back there is all this cat
hair all over from him and his clutter. We'll see if the pattern gets broken by me
fighting again this turn. Hopefully I can hold on to the throne and come up with a
better column for next turn.

SPY REPORT
Good day, in CLIFFHOME a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as JINDA-BAN is pushed out of top team by INQUISITION CLONES, who came
from 3rd with a 3-0-0 this turn. And let's see, POULAN fought BALLOU YS and gained
16 points and contributed to U.A.K.'s 4-1-0. LOMBER BOS has lost to RUNNA DAMILL,
falling 8 points, while helping make JINDA-BAN a 0-4-0 turn. The attempts to
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ZIPPO remains CLIFFHOME's top warrior for
another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources
that The Choking Ogre uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. In a brave attempt, CPT. CRUNCH from U.A.K. challenged up 20
points to fight FRZNGRMDBEEFPATTIES from the INQUISITION CLONES stable. CPT. CRUNCH
perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was subdued by FRZNGRMDBEEFPATTIES and
ended up with 70 recognition points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in CLIFFHOME and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in CLIFFHOME again, farewell-- Alarond the

PERSONAL ADS
FRZ -- You sure pack a punch for a youngin. -- Cpt Crunch
Scrod Boy -- You could at least have taught me a little something. I'm gonna need
all the help I can get. -- Average Joe
Well, is everyone EXCITED? The five-hundredth cycle is upon us with this very
newsletter, and it's just SO THRILLING, I can hardly stand it. -- Nick, Jinda-Ban
P.S. Okay, it's humdrum, another day, five more fights.
I hate the Dangerous Criminal. It always seems impossible to beat him, and it
usually IS impossible to beat him. -- Ballou Ys the disgusted
P.S. I bet if he got to list his kills on his record, there'd be a lot of 'em.
The Veteran Mercenary is another matter entirely, and this despite being higher-
ranked. I put it down to the style differences. The Dangerous Criminal is a basher,
and at this level, bashers are truly dangerous. The Mercenary is a p-lunger, and,
well, forget it. -- Articulate Lori
Lee Lee Lo Lee -- I suppose it wasn't really your fault, but I blame you even so. --
Ghost of Tria Moph
P.S. The damned orderlies DROPPED me on the way to the Infirmary, and then one of
them STEPPED on me. Gods, I hate that.
Poulan -- Gosh, we must be twins. Mom never said anything about that to me, though.
Did YOU know? -- Lomber Bos
Runna Damill -- A common quality around here. But you couldn't expect to win that
one, with me having experience and you not. So it's probably okay. -- Riquettie
26 May 2006
The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!

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
