DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, here I am again of course. I have no words of wisdom that you common folk
would understand, so I will simply say BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Enough said.
Smirk
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon XOCHITHLAN,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing is certain in XOCHITHLAN, with
changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--THE MIDDLE
WAY. Practice pays for SHRUG, who pummelled DEELA ELLIS, to pocket 13 points. A
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 9
points to SHRUG. (Discrete enough, DEELA ELLIS?) SMIRK successfully staved off a
grab for the roses by MORI NEB of THE MIDDLE WAY. Does XOCHITHLAN have no one
talented enough to dethrone it? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable
walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
And how sociable are XOCHITHLAN's warriors? Come, let us see. Like a horde of
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in XOCHITHLAN avoid THE MIDDLE
WAY. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, CHEAP SHOTS scurried away from THE
MIDDLE WAY. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities?
Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, OPARA PERSI is the most challenged warrior.
OPARA PERSI found herself challenged by a warrior 25 below: IGNORE. IGNORE of CHEAP
SHOTS kept its wits as it was bested by OPARA PERSI.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen
into an unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in XOCHITHLAN is the highlight of my life. As if
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.
XOCHITHLAN, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The
Welcome Wench. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
There are winners and losers. There are losers and there are Cheap Shots. What can
we say? -- Cheap Shot Management
Opara -- Don't you get tired of the continual discrimination? After all, you can
never defeat me. -- Smirk
Xyokor -- Sigh. So easy. -- Shrug
Smirk -- Gods, I could pay somebody to give us a classier brush-off. You are such a
cheap shot, even the arena standby team wouldn't hire you. -- Opara Persi
Mrs. Potatoe Head -- I've been on kp for months, so it was an automatic reaction to
just...peel you. Sorry about that. -- Mori Neb
Native Looter? That's despicable. The looters should at least be foreigners. --
Deela Ellis
Shrug -- (shrug) -- Xyokor Yahl
Stinky Pete -- (eyes watering) That's...awesome. Go try it on the Cheap Shots. --
Rennor Simm
Smirk -- "Always remains the same"? Yep, that's about par for a cheap shot. Never
develop any class, do you? Wouldn't even know class if it bit you on the ear, come
down to it. Oh, well. -- Opara Persi
