DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Yes, I am surprised to be here. I have been around a long time, and I have to
admit that I am more of a lover than a fighter. But I DO love being Duelmaster.
Jasmin made it tough on me. She is one feisty warrior. But, then, every
fighter I battle seems to make it tough on me. Jasmin is just one of the loveliest
and sexiest ones. (Please note that I am trying to keep my hunger in reserve. "wink")
I am not sure I can stay on this lofty throne. I want to. I need lots more PPs
to attract The Commission Decision-Makers on their graduation selections. I keep
offering them freebies at The Flower Shoppe, but haven't had any takers yet. How can
they avoid me?
So, to all you beautiful people out there, I say, "Challenge me if you wish, and
be easy on me, but I would rather you confronted me at The Flower Shoppe where I
assure you I can make it more fun."
Gloating Gardenia, Flower Girls DMI
SPY REPORT
Hail FRATSFA! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. And let's see, URSILA RILVAR fought SEI BHAT PO and gained 20 points and
contributed to MIDDLE WAY 8's 2-1-0. SEI BHAT PO has lost to URSILA RILVAR, falling
18 points, while helping make WAH CHING a 0-4-0 turn. Defending hers title for
another turn, GLOATING GARDENIA kept DRAGONS GUARD II's warrior, DARGON, from
claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the DRAGONS GUARD II
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on FRATSFA, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided DRAGONS GUARD II stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
FLOWER GIRLS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was WAH
CHING's warrior WEI YAN. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. You gotta do what you gotta do.
JADE WARRIORS has sent MILO to the Dark Arena. The deed is done. Lift the ale, and
toast the memory. A farewell moment, if you please, DEADLY RAGE of JADE WARRIORS has
been sent to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on his shield. A brave warrior does
not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.
Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in FRATSFA, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in FRATSFA again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Sei Bhat Po -- You pulled the wool over my eyes. You also did some other funny
things to me, some of which were quite nice. Maybe you will let me win the next one?
Anyway, why don't you come over to The Flower Shoppe and let's try those other funny
things again in peace and quiet. -- Hateful Hasta (purring pleasurably)
Jasmin -- Now THAT was climactic! -- Gloating Gardenia
Noble Assassin -- I wish The Commission sent some more dynamic NPCs. You were simply
not with it, and I couldn't stimulate you at all. Oh, well, thanks for the win. --
Caustic Crocus
Wei Yan -- That was terrific! That's twice we tussled and I felt wonderful after
both. I think I love you. -- Petulant Pansy
May the New Year treat you with joy and happiness and success and many visits to The
Flower Shoppe. -- Lady Fern and The Flower Girls
Liam -- A pleasant place to start and continue a team might be in DM11 Aruak City.
Medium-sized, it is active and has good personals and roll-playing. It is Andorian
to the core, and down-challenging, attempting to kill, or picking on newbies is just
plain unacceptable. Or, if you need a slow arena and want more Freeblades type
action, try DM28. (We would also love to see you in DM50.) Consortium folks are in
all those locales. -- Lady Fern
P.S. Whatever you do, get going!
Liam -- Horses cost too much to feed even when they eat bunny-food. No way we're
going to try to feed a carnivore. Besides which, this team is under the Covenant of
Mantor and thus warded against magic, at least in the guildhouse and yard. The
damned horse's wings would probably fall off. -- Jorja
Li Kui -- Do NOT try to tell me that the old traditional orc-elf rivalry was not at
work in that fight. I know a sneaky, underhanded elf when I see one! -- Salina Rees
Conflict -- So un-Andorian of you! -- Ursila Rilvar
Graffiti -- All over my armor! What a mess. You humans have no respect. -- Ellis
Tate
