Oh, DRAT. I didn't want this title. Sure, it's an honor (sort of, considering how I got it), and it's political points to graduation and life, but it comes with obligations, too. This column, for one. The requisite public demo before the next cycle of fights. The big party with the arena sponsors. That last one is the worst: I have nothing to WEAR! Guys have it easy, if THEY go in their armor, it's cool, macho, really BAD, whatever. But if I do it...gods, the looks I get! And the worst of it is, I don't really look good in anything EXCEPT armor. Goes with being a fighting-golem. Being the Duel2Dudette is no picnic! Keta SPY REPORT It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as FAVORITE GUYS can attest... Practice pays for CHILLILI CHES, who pummelled GUILLOTINE, to pocket 14 points. RANDY certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to BIG BAD BRADY and losing 10 points in the process! Like a flirtacious debutante, JURINE's Duelmaster KETA found herself the woman of the hour, being "invited to dance" 2 times! The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as MUDVAYNE faced JURINE's Duelmaster. What can be a greater victory? MUDVAYNE has taken his place as the top, as JURINE's new Duelmaster. Word has it one team in JURINE is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life! My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Perhaps the warriors of BLACK PEARL should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of PATRIOTIC, so did that sorry team shy from BLACK PEARL Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee. 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. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for JURINE? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MUDVAYNE 3039 15 7 0 119 FEAR FACTORY (216) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ROBESPIERRE 3098 9 3 1 133 BLADES OF TERROR (348) -LION HEARTED 3363 8 3 0 95 ARENA FELINES (341) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PITSPAWN FOULDOG 3121 9 2 1 84 FEAR FACTORY (216) KETA 3328 19 17 0 82 FAVORITE GUYS (186) -SHIVAREE SJDEN 3350 9 2 1 70 BLADE AND BLOOD (314) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BIG BAD BRADY 3345 6 1 0 66 PATRIOTIC (379) SCYTHE 3284 5 0 0 64 BLADES OF TERROR (348) -M.C.

It is much appreciated if you send your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text option, let it be your friend. -- Ed. P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but sometimes.
