DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Throw off your chains, Shackled Priest! I'll help. Any god worth serving would not
demand that subjection of you.
-- Tonio Salagaza
P.S. I would have taught you some skills, but Jorja looked at the mini overview and
says I don't have any to spare.
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. FRATSFA needs a spyreport." Oh, well. I don't wanna hurt
anybody's feelings or anything, but ADEPTA SORORITAS really goofed with their 0-2-0.
SILVER KNIGHTS like really fought hard to move up to 2nd from 7th. Way to go! MVP
award for DEADLY DAISY? FLOWER GIRLS' proud of her after beating TEMPEST and getting
20 points. Talk about yer major upsets! TEMPEST's match with DEADLY DAISY cost him
a loss of 14 points! DISLOCATED HIP thinks its 16-6-0 and studly character is good
enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? Don't you think the Duelmaster is
being unfair? I think TONIO SALAGAZA should let DISLOCATED HIP be Duelmaster for a
while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team insists all their warriors get
nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of ASSASSIN NATION must be getting
lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't?
I don't know what IRON CATHEDRAL's been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting
many fights from ASSASSIN NATION, that's fer sher. Can MIDDLE WAY 8's VERN WULF be
more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? Ooh!
Did SISTER STEEL really know what she was doing when she challenged SER ILYN PAYNE?
A 16-16-1 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I don't know what it means.) SER ILYN
PAYNE bested SISTER STEEL, and was I surprised (right!). But its a good thing SER
ILYN PAYNE could stop laughing long enough to give SISTER STEEL a good pounding.
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All FRATSFA ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. FRATSFA is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! I
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Tonio! Duelmaster! Kudos. Why don't you bring your boys on over to The Flower Shoppe
to celebrate. Searing Sunflower says she wants to help you with your DM Column and
make it stand out! -- Lady Fern
Outrage, well, that was fast! I feel avenged. I have only had one good fight and,
sadly, that ended in a death, (sigh) -- Menacing Mimosa
Tempest, Tempest, Tempest! I think you are sooo cute! -- Searing Sunflower
Buy flowers. Find a partner. Have fun. Bring gold. -- Lady Fern
Fury -- I understand! I would have done the same if one of my sisters had fallen. I
am also glad you feel satisfied since I am probably sitting until after the
tournament, maybe longer. Salute! -- St. Praxedes
Bruised Buttcheek -- For the record, you were bruised before we started our fight. --
Frag
For the Cincy FtF, Mannequin/Crip are organizing a visit to the Great American Ball
Park on the Friday night (16 Jul, 7:10 start time) to watch the Reds/Brewers game. If
interested, please contact Crip through gwerner - @ - twcny dot rr dot com. Because
of Covid, tickets are being sold in specific pods, so if 8 people want to go, we may
have to sit in two different groups. Please respond by 1 May if interested so we can
pre-purchase the tickets. -- Crip & Mannequin
Menacing Mimosa -- A bloodfeud by luck still counts, doesn't it? You certainly didn't
make it easy though! -- Outrage
Xavier Yang -- Well, not too surprised with the result. With a delta of -20 FE I
would have put my money on you if I had any... -- Deceit
Ferny Ross -- Don't look at me! I was just as surprised as you! -- Fury
Searing Sunflower -- A good fight, all in all. Until we meet again! -- Tempest
Maiden Alloy -- Didn't your mother ever tell you not to go along and let just anybody
smelt your ore? The Flower Girls might advise you. -- Tennessee Smith
Kappa Cygni -- I don't usually go beating up swans, but the snowfall unnerved me.
Sorry neither of us got a skill. -- Vern Wulf
Fury -- Of course I was beaten by my opponent. Who else was out there? Skills
would've been good. Jorja's got a thing about them. -- Ferny Ross
Deceit -- You deceived me! I thought I was looking at a sure loss, and yet, I won.
Works for me. -- Xavier Yang
Everybody -- I like an arena with chat. I could DO something with this, but
unfortunately, the tourney spy report is breathing down my neck, so not today. --
Jorja, appreciating the personals
