DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Once again it is DARK in here and I love it! Do you? Dark; black; lightless; scary;
ruled by me -- DARKNESS. I revel in taking away your light. Get used to it. The night
has come and there is no moon to light the way. Stumble and fall. That is your
existence.
-- Darkness DMV
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Those betting on BEYOND THE PALE lost their
shirt, as BEYOND THE PALE lost their fighting abilities: 0-2-0. What's a move up by
4 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to
DREAMS WORK. Practice pays for BLOOD BATH, who pummelled FLOODS, to pocket 24
points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after
losing 16 points to TERRIBLE BEAUTY. (Discrete enough, SANCHO PROUDFOOT?) Like a
flirtacious debutante, ZENSU's Duelmaster DARKNESS found itself the creature of the
hour, being "invited to dance" 4 times! The arena was more crowded than usual this
time, as PARANOID faced ZENSU's Duelmaster. What can be a greater victory? PARANOID
has taken his place as the top, as ZENSU's new Duelmaster. So who was the warrior
seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic
problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of PHILANTHROPISTS, alone and unchallenged. The
warriors of PHILANTHROPISTS found their efforts at combat frustrated as PANDORA'S BOX
apparently had more important things to do than fight.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have
fallen into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ZENSU farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
