DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Heri Za Kwanzaa! (For those Seinfeld fans
out there, Happy Festivus! The airing of grievances may now commence). And Happy New
Year to all! (If I missed anyone, I apologize. I wish you well, as well).
It was a surprise to see my name at the top of the board, but I'm not going to waste
my opportunity to spread cheer and good will to all. After all, it's the Xochithlan
way! Well, that's probably not true. But it should be.
So let me raise a toast of double barrel Xochithlan bourbon to each of you. We've
survived another year! There's no telling 2019 will hold, and I for one can hardly
wait to see what the year brings.
And to my Title Challenger, Diamond Dust: Drink and be merry, for no one knows what
tomorrow holds.
Cheers,
Eunuch

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, XOCHITHLAN? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, BASH BROS BABY, since BOOK
OF THOMAS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Gee, I'm
impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, ANYWAYUSLICEIT, the Fates teach
humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see
JACK THE RIPPER win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, RIRORNI ASSASSIN
beat OLD GLORY and OLD GLORY lost 18 points. You're breakin' my heart. EUNUCH
challenged DIAMOND DUST for XOCHITHLAN's Title this turn, and guess what happened?
And it's out with the old, in with the new, as DIAMOND DUST takes the Title and last
week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks
and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for XOCHITHLAN's
morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in XOCHITHLAN to get a drink than The Swinging
Aardvark! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so
nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide
