DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Congrats to MacAuliffe for being honourable in reponse to his kill. He may have
lost his first title belt, but mark my words, he will be back, as he is much better
than his record would seem to indicate. My challenges and avoids this turn go to
Hoffa With Hair. Now that he's had a legitimate non-NPC loss, he deserves his shot
back at the throne.
Ghastly Migraine
Hangovers
SPY REPORT
Good day, in ILLIS 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 IMPROVED ILLUSION is pushed out of top team by THE EXPLORERS, who came
from 3rd with a 4-1-1 this turn. ILLIS welcomes a new team to our ranks,
unofficially of course, for now. But welcome nonetheless to MEGAERA'S MUSES. Let's
see what you can do. And let's see, COOK fought CAPTURED ORC and gained 14 points
and contributed to THE EXPLORERS' 4-1-1. GLENN has lost to AMBITIOUS GUARD, falling
11 points, while helping make THE EXPLORERS a 4-1-1 turn. Due to his absence and
inability to defend the throne, GHASTLY MIGRAINE has lost the title of Duelmaster.
And all eyes were on LUCIA this turn as she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.
ILLIS has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at The Welcome Wench?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in ILLIS, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in ILLIS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Frosted Flake -- Why are they not here? Probably the same reason no one else is,
this isn't exactly the most competitive arena in the game. I'm only here because I
like slow arenas. I have won 7 of 9 awards before, so you don't impress me. As for
the throne, I've held it here and other places as well, and more than one turn to
boot. So what is the big deal? As for reaching 100 wins in here, wow I stand
amazed. I have done it on 4 occasions with slow arena teams. If you are looking for
me to be impressed, you have to dig deeper than that. Crip has 535 wins in North
Fork and The Icelord 549 in Chimlevtal, which are impressive to me. Not enough room
to list all the managers that have 300, 200, and 100+ wins in slow arenas. Hey, they
are your goals, so who am I to judge. If you are that easily impressed, more power
to you. -- Phantasm
Flaming -- I've been wary of Hangovers for the last few turns, but it looks like I
don't have anyone else to challenge. I could go down against The Islanders, but I
couldn't do that to J and it not be pre-arranged for info seeking. So, looks like
I'm coming after one of you...not sure which though. -- HWH
P.S. I'm just here for the arena FE now, already have my PPs to graduate. Have to
live that long first though.
Hoofa With Hair -- That was a little better, but I still can't riposte my way out of
a wet paper bag. -- Flaming Drambuie
Lewis -- That looks like a challenge Homer dreamt up. -- Flaming Moe
Cook -- I'll be back with a chaser. -- Bloody Caesar
Taking some turns off in here to save up some $$ for the TOGS IV. I'll shall
return. -- Phantasm
I fought a Convicted Assassin? Is this some subtle hint from the government that
they need more tax money to keep these wretches off our streets? -- Lucia
Oh, heck, I got a Convicted Assassin, too, and he LOST to me. -- Duff the disgusted
P.S. Where are all these assassins coming from? Are they renegade Andorians?
Evangelion -- You come on like a lioness. I like that in a woman. -- Slaker
P.S. But not in a gladiatorial adversary.
Well, at least it wasn't another assassin. -- Wimpira
'Ey! Hi got ha t'ief. -- 'Ammer 'Ead
Amazing, Ghastly Migraine is popular? Is MOST popular? (shudder) -- Lucia
Kellog -- (shrug) I fight what comes with what I've got and then go home and have a
beer. -- Slaker
Hello, All! My name is Megaera and I'm the sweet little sexy manager of this rag-tag
bunch of Muses. I'm new in town so any kind gentleman who could offer a lady some
help would be welcome! See ya'll later!! -- Megaera, mgr. Megaeras Muses
Today a flower unfurled its petals
Drinking in the dew
Turned its face toward the sun
And so life begins anew.

All -- Let it be known that the Firm accepts SOL into its ranks. The Firm is:
SunGod, Dark Spirit, Youngblood, Tripwire, and SOL.
