DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I wouldn't gloat over M. Chardinee, he's too mean if he thinks he's been
insulted. Of course, as top gladiator in this, ah, "city," I think *I* have been
insulted by having no one but M. Chardinee to fight.
On second thought... maybe that isn't so bad. After all, I won.
Galbei
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to TRICORUS once again! Bein' on top is great while it lasts, DARK
HORSEMEN. But how many friends do you have now? What's with SHROUD OF GLOOM? He
actually beat DARK HORSEMEN's AILLENDEI, and walked away with 18 more points from the
fight. Major screwup at DARK HORSEMEN. KURBALD lost 14 points to DARK SWEET TREAT.
Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe KURBALD will provide more easy wins... I'm sure
TRICORUS is excited about BLACK CLANSMAN, the new Duelmaster from BLACK CONVENTICLE.
(remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... I suppose you want to hear
some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting
younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. TRICORUS
is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't want to
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Raising R'Lyeh 5-0-1 --> Mordant Deserter 0-2, Embezzling Scribe 0-3, pathetic isn't
it. -- Reaper
P.S. Maybe next turn we fight real warriors...
But then you might lose!
Mordant Deserter -- "Christ, Deserter. You look almost as bad as that skin-job I
left on the sidewalk." -- Bladerunner
Shroud of Gloom -- Just ask and your wish will be granted. We are here... -- Reaper
P.S. Actually you should also thank the Dark Horsemen....
Dark River -- Ah, old friends! -- Kurbald
P.S. The Dark River must be where we take our Dark Horses to drink.
M. Chardinee just doesn't seem "up to snuff" today. And I hope he does not get up to
taking snuff, a dirty habit, that. -- Aillendei
P.S. Stains around your nose, and bits of tobacco in your clothes, although you
don't have to worry about crickets. Not that I do, personally. The crickets, you
know. I just shriek at them and they go away.
The Jonah -- My teammates explained to me that it would be an affront to the gods if
our team had no losses and that since I am the "low man" and last to fight, I "get"
to lose. Thanks. -- Marskol
P.S. No, really, thanks for not killing me.
Some people are easily pleased.
Wow! Real personals from other people! We're all excited to have something to
answer! -- the Dark Horsemen
Bladerunner -- Hang on and let me see what it was I said that you replied to, so I'll
know what thread to follow in my reply to your reply.... Ah, running with scissors.
They tell me it's a bad thing to do. Whatever. I think I may have been up too late
last night, maybe one too many beakers of... whatever that was. I can't seem to
focus on answering this. But I see you're keeping your hand in with the Mordant
Deserter, a red-headed stepchild if I ever saw one. -- Marskol
Reaper -- I think it was the tentacles hangning in your smokehouse. -- Nick
Shroud of Gloom -- I think he's not leaving Andorak for a while. Rumor has it that
the place has been infested with Monsters, and I guess he might be professionally
interested. -- Kurbald
The BLACK Conventicle -- You expect us to be sober enough to make these distinctions?
-- Kurbald
P.S. The Black Horsemen have switched over to riding prehistoric flying things this
year. Some sort of special project, I think.
Black Clansman -- It's a knack? -- Aillendei
P.S. Actually, I have no idea, since I'm too stunned to pay attention.
The Jonah -- Nah, someone just wasn't paying attention last time. -- Marskol
Dark Sweet Treat -- I forgot how to spell it. -- Osksi Noble
20 April 2007
All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
