DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Train Wreck, nothing TOO personal--Alta would be personal because of her
friendship with Train, but not me--but I DO like wrecking you.
Bensi Durn
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! In the interest of complete reporting, CHURCH OF HAWKWIND got a 2-3-0
last week, on their first time around. Practice pays for BLUE BUTTERFLY, who
pummelled CANDY FLOSS COWBOY, to pocket 53 points. TRAIN WRECK certainly had a
baffled expression on his face, after losing to ALTA CHESS and losing 21 points in
the process! BENSI DURN successfully staved off a grab for the roses by RELENTLESS
of THE BEARS. Does VALAMANTIS have no one talented enough to dethrone her? So who's
the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a
PR stunt to me.
So much to report, so little time!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not a spymaster
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious
stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in VALAMANTIS is the highlight of my life. My fingers
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable
character. VALAMANTIS, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill
at Doom's Dome. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Nick -- I will see you in Trocar, DM 54. Sensei Jan, our teacher, has invited us to
the contest. -- Liam the Goth & Buddy Lee
Bensi Durn -- How about fish and chips? It's finger food and all. Sorry to say we
will not be active for a bit. My boss is in North Fork for the TW4 Contest with the
rest of the Illuminati brothers. We saw a Middle Way 3 there (yours?) and thought of
you. So I get to lay back and get fat and watch you keep the title. So perhaps we
can get those fish and chips. -- Colussus's Fire
P.S. Drop us a p-ad in 47 and say hello!
Eb Gollu -- Sorry about that. Good fight, my friend! As for my name, Liam the Goth
named me after two different months in the Persian calendar. Told Buddy Lee it
sounded Elvish. I like it. -- Hajjil Than'ni (Tan'ni)
Colossus's Fire -- What do you mean you have a date and can't have fish and chips
with me? Tell your girlfriend to bring a friend for me. -- Angel Dust
Buddy Lee -- Happy (sad) that you will be at TW4 with Asmo, Baphomet, Azereth and the
rest of The Company of Brothers. Should be real fun with the Vendetta Cartel
(Kat/cpt, Fizban, Master Darque, Maximillian and Street Legal), The Vendett@United
(C.H.F./cpt, Wasby, Toker, Goat, Dok Sik, Voodoo, Abraxis and Skullagrim), The
Fellowship of SCOMS (Oz/Cpt, Crip, Slugbait, Mannequin and Soultaker--Spawn's not in
this year), The Illuminati (Talon Darkhart/cpt, Baphomet, Asmo Dius, Liam the Goth,
Buddy Lee, Sir Chester, Azereth, Hammer, P-Diddy, Azrael, Turtle, Assurnasirbanipal,
Flagg, Matrix and Tripwire). I'm hoping some of the other 40+ Alliances will show up
like the CDC, The Firm, DOOMCorps, B.O.B., L.A.L.O.D., L.6 and so on. I believe
Hammer of kLk will be posting ads or something. See you at the swamp. -- Liam the
Goth, Illuminati (T.C.B.)
Nick -- Just wanted to say 'hi'. -- Liam
Liam -- Will you let me fight for you? -- Colossus'sFire
Colussus's Fire -- Err...you would have to ask Buddy Lee and Ed that one. -- Liam
Eb Gollu -- So you're the one Hajj'ils been telling me about. Hmmmm. -- Lynn Thao
Inferno Serpent -- Hey sis, so who's the one picking on you? -- Lynn Thao
Alta Chess -- No column from me. My manager got the turn 33 days after the fact.
That's why we have been quiet in the p-ads and why we are in part inactive here. --
Hell Storm
Darima Fenn -- Great fight! But my reach was short on that one. -- Enslaved Angel
Relentless -- And you MEAN it, don't you? -- Alta Chess
Kung-Fu Master? But I don't WANT to do kung-fu. -- Doc Felle
Hmm, the Ambitious Guard must've been practicing. He isn't usually that, uh, well,
not GOOD, exactly, but that definite, decisive, and BOLD. -- Eb Gollu
Dangerous Criminal? Pooh. -- Darima Fenn
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
