I have made it to the peak. I AM Duelmaster. Finally. It is a good and proud feeling, and one I may remember forever. Indeed, I am only two political points away from graduation to Lord protectorship. One more top level fight! I truly look forward to that graduation. But, oh, no! My manager, Smitty, has placed me in peril! I am to fight at the Champions level in the Tempe Face-To-Face! What if I get killed? Champions are brutal, I hear. And, and, then I would not graduate and add another graduate to The Consortium-near-1000 list. Oh, no! But I will give it my all. If you see me here next round, I will probably be graduating. If not, well, it was a good ride. May your New Year fill you and yours with blessings and joy. Quality, Duelmaster SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of SNOWBOUND brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. KILL OR BE KILT turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see CUNEIFORM win a fight and gain 12 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, GARUTH HOLM beat SPECTRA and SPECTRA lost 5 points. You're breakin' my heart. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster NEFARA challenged this turn. And if variety is the spice of life, SNOWBOUND may be getting bland, as QUALITY stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? MESOPOTAMIA was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was LIFE IMPACTS. Ha ha ha ha! SAXAPHONE was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for SNOWBOUND's morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? What does the SNOWBOUND arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.
