DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Toodles, North Fork! This is goodbye.
11 - 9 - 6 - 13 - 21 - 9 - 15 PS Mode. SC fav, Mod / High.
I'm not even sure I knew that strat was possible. SMH. This game is full of
surprises.
Master Parry; AdEx Init, Att, Decis; Exp Def.
I spent most of OT's career thinking he was a LO LO Parry guy. He did alright with
it. Part of the reason I like Pikers: so many ways to run them.
Unless my replacement is AMAZING! this will be Bad Beats' last turn here. It's
been real. It's been fun. Oddly, it's been real fun.
See you in Home Guard.
-- One Time!
Duelmaster,
whatever-this-arena-is-called-today
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in NIYTYOLE HOLD this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the
difference, as EL CAMINO:HOT SAUCE is pushed out of top team by BIG LAKE GROOVE, who
came from 2nd with a 3-2-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for WHITE WOLVES, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 6
into 9th. BIG IDEA stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 8 space move up the
rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! The LAND OF OZ guild
has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where
this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, HUMBUG fought SEX (I'M A) and gained 20
points and contributed to LAND OF OZ's 3-0-0. SEX (I'M A) has lost to HUMBUG,
falling 33 points, while helping make 80'S DISCO a 2-2-0 turn. DATABASE EDITOR
challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone BAD BEATS'
warrior. Defending his title for another turn, ONE TIME! kept BIG LAKE GROOVE's
warrior, DATABASE EDITOR, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Welcome Wench?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. BIG LAKE GROOVE has cause to stand
tall, as they were NIYTYOLE HOLD's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is
a team to beat. And guess who avoided BIG LAKE GROOVE stable the most? Believe it
or not, it was MISFIT KINGS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this
turn was ROYAL FLUSH's warrior ACE MERRILL. More fighters challenged him than
challenged the Duelmaster! Tsk, tsk, tsk. BLACK CHAOS, does your manager know
you're challenging down 30 points to fight STYLE CHANGER from BIG LAKE GROOVE? Well,
surprise, surprise, BLACK CHAOS was bested by STYLE CHANGER, and by the way, BLACK
CHAOS now has a recognition score of 40. In a brave attempt, GRANULO from WEIRD
ALCHEMY challenged up 23 points to fight BULLY from the BASH BROS PARK stable.
GRANULO perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was defeated by BULLY and ended
up with 66 recognition points. ALIISZA of THE SOVEREIGN had better have a good
reason for challenging down 8 points in a challenge which she lost. I thought
ALIISZA showed great skill and promise when she was defeated by MARATHON MAN. 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.
I like this place, NIYTYOLE HOLD, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
