Nothing is certain in ARADI, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--UNNAMEABLES. Practice pays for HARMLET, who pummelled PERSISTENT BEGGAR, to pocket 16 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, GRIMPEN MIRE was winsome, after beating GAMMA TRIANGULI and seeing him lose 9 points. Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by DELTA TRIANGULI, of TRIANGULUM, who despite a 11-22-0 couldn't overcome ARADI's Number 1. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting! All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ARADI farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TRUST FUND BABY 6951 11 18 2 101 BUMS 'R' US (465) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -INSISTANT BEGGAR 6630 14 19 0 79 BUMS 'R' US (465) DELTA TRIANGULI 9180 11 22 0 69 TRIANGULUM (684) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SPED 6803 10 13 0 64 BUMS 'R' US (465) GRIMPEN MIRE 9001 6 0 1 64 LOWLANDERS (669) -HANDS ON 9006 4 0 0 58 FAVORITE SAYINGS (673) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GAMMA TRIANGULI 9179 11 18 0 53 TRIANGULUM (684) DREAM 9010 7 3 0 47 FAVORITE SAYINGS (673) -ANGRY NAKED MAN 7238 5 5 0 46 BUMS 'R' US (465) -FULL MONTY 9007 3 2 0 35 FAVORITE SAYINGS (673) INAUDIBLE 9236 2 0 0 34 UNNAMEABLES (91) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HARMLET 9249 1 0 0 16 UNNAMEABLES (91) -EPSILON TRIANGULI 9181 2 1 0 10 TRIANGULUM (684) SUPER BACK 9250 1 0 0 8 UNNAMEABLES (91) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
