DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well! I could certainly "shrug off" that attempt to dominate me. And to
achieve the title into the bargain, that is excellent.
Deela Ellis
SPY REPORT
Good day, in XOCHITHLAN 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 THE MIDDLE WAY is pushed out of top team by WACKY, who came
from 3rd with a 3-1-2 this turn. And not without some honor, DUCK A L'ORANGE now
claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of XOCHITHLAN. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Warty Toad?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. THE MIDDLE WAY has cause to stand tall,
as they were XOCHITHLAN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding THE MIDDLE WAY more than any other team we find WACKY.
XOCHITHLAN, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? In a brave
attempt, D'URVILLE from KIWI CONNECTION challenged up 24 points to fight MORI NEB
from the THE MIDDLE WAY stable. D'URVILLE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as
he was subdued by MORI NEB and ended up with 72 recognition points. WHAKAPAPA of
KIWI CONNECTION had better have a good reason for challenging down 12 points in a
challenge which he lost. I thought WHAKAPAPA showed great skill and promise when he
was defeated by RENNOR SIMM. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in XOCHITHLAN, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in XOCHITHLAN again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

Gone the Cheap Shots.
All is well.

Well?! We didn't get any severance! -- Cheap Shot Management
The Cheap Shots have filed and folded. Good luck to all remaining. -- Posted in the

I didn't fight anyone I need to acknowledge. Not even a standby! -- Mori Neb
D'Urville -- I wouldn't have thought you COULD get a good connection through a kiwi,
but obviously I was wrong about that. -- Rennor Simm
Whakapapa -- Rude, yes, as I noted four weeks ago, but...sometimes tempting. --

31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
