DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Tuscan Flame is a splendid warrior... I'm surprised he didnt do better in the
last tournament... ran into too many guys like crappy old me?
Will Rendor Quil do better?
Come on, Fratsfans, shoot the Scum!
Zoum
SPY REPORT
Good day, in FRATSFA a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as WAH CHING is pushed out of top team by BLOOD AND GUTS!, who came from
3rd with a 3-1-0 this turn. And let's see, GLOATING GARDENIA fought HU YAN ZHUO and
gained 14 points and contributed to FLOWER GIRLS' 4-1-0. HU YAN ZHUO has lost to
GLOATING GARDENIA, falling 9 points, while helping make WAH CHING a 3-2-0 turn. And
all eyes were on RENDOR QUIL this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.
FRATSFA has a new victor! Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. JADE WARRIORS has cause to stand
tall, as they were FRATSFA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And avoiding JADE WARRIORS more than any other team we find WAH CHING.
FRATSFA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
TUSCAN FLAME, does your manager know you're challenging down 30 points to fight
JASMIN from JADE WARRIORS? We're not surprised to hear that TUSCAN FLAME bested
JASMIN, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why PYROMANIA made such a
challenge. DEADLY RAGE of JADE WARRIORS had better have a good reason for
challenging down 8 points in a challenge which he lost. I thought DEADLY RAGE showed
great skill and promise when he was bested by WORMER. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? 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, FRATSFA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in FRATSFA, but never good to wear out
my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Well, Ursila, I sure felt like a worm! -- Wormer, wormy... whatever
And yes, Jorja, we miss the Flower Girls! Weak but cute! -- LP
Most of my guys are back now, but Champ Chump is still working on that TC issue.
Maybe one day?? -- LP
Hi, guys and gals. Glad to see so many of you here. Bodes well for business. (wink)
It will be my pleasure to be your pleasure. My gals will be looking for you on the
sands and on the Flower Shoppe sheets. -- Lady Fern
Uh, I will try. I am not as good as all these warriors at the top, but I can be
BAD. I may defeat you, but I can lick you! -- Caustic Crocus
Try me on for size. I fit! And I like to gloat. -- Gloating Gardenia
I can be savage and you will like it. -- Savage Snowball
Zoum -- We thank you for The Duelmaster spotlight Consortium advertisement. Come on
over to The Flower Shoppe for your freebie. (wink) -- Lady Fern
Brandon Massingale -- Ask and you shall receive. -- Lady Fern
P.S. Either cash or credit card applies.
Happy Valentine's Day from all my lovelies. -- Lady Fern and The Flower Girls
Zoum Le Bouse -- Congratulations on retaining the title. -- All the Middle Way
Brandon -- Yes, I agree. It's just that so many people seem to feel that "let's have
a contest" will solve the Small Arena Syndrome, though experience during the last ten
years says it won't. I will be recommending this arena to anyone who asks about a
slow arena, along with Morya. But there doesn't seem to be a great rush toward a
slow play cycle. -- Jorja
451 Degrees -- Scorched and gone! For those who really want to know:
17-8-10-9-17-8-15 BA, MS, vhi/low. -- Rendor Quil
We salute the tourney participants. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
Velvet Rose -- Ah! Thanks very much, maybe this is the key to turn my career around.
-- Ursila Rilvar
Areopolite -- That didn't seem very polite to ME. -- Salina Rees
P.S. Still, it could've been worse. I could've DIED, after all.
