DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail Sons & Daughters of Valamantis,
Sir Kevin, you gave a valiant effort for one not versed in the ways of bashing. I
salute you.
This turn I again turn my challenges to Death Wish, who conveniently chose to take a
breather last turn. I hope to make introductions this turn if he has sufficiently
recuperated.
My only regret in this is that my father, You Owe Me Two Dollars, is not here to
witness the dawn of the Bashing Era.
Bashing into the Abyss....
You Owe Me One Dollar
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Practice pays for SWEATPANTS LANCE, who
pummelled DONETTA FALDOUR, to pocket 14 points. A certain someone should cut down on
the drinking and practice more, after losing 8 points to GREAT WEAPON CHOICE.
(Discrete enough, CHUCK?) The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as BUZZ
faced VALAMANTIS' Duelmaster. Now I can't insult BUZZ, as he has gloriously dueled
to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who
was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?
Someone's got a basic problem...
And how sociable are VALAMANTIS' warriors? Come, let us see. Like the noble
eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of BLOOD KNIGHTS, alone
and unchallenged. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of RIO VISTANS,
so did that sorry team shy from BLOOD KNIGHTS If challenges were horses, BALI DARRAS
could open up a fast food joint! Word has it BLUE suffered a romantic setback. Note
how it challenged BALI DARRAS, 30 points its senior. It's not whether you win or
lose, but how many points you get (3). Right, BLUE? A.T. JR challenged SIR KEVIN!
Who says RIO VISTANS are just a bunch of wimps! A.T. JR of RIO VISTANS kept his wits
as he was beat by SIR KEVIN.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A
certain tavern in VALAMANTIS would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in VALAMANTIS is the highlight of my life. More
important duties call me. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid
VALAMANTIS farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Dear me, I believe that this is the last arena for which Hal deigned to send me a
receipt. I wonder if, coming around again, it will usher in a new era of "receipts
from Hal"? -- Nick/Jorja, the Middle Way
P.S. Probably not.
Lady Katy -- Ma'am, you're a fine figure of a woman, and you've got solid brass ba--
er, nerves of steel or something, you know? I realize that us on the Middle Way
aren't known for being really tough, but that still wasn't the wisest challenge you
could make. -- Fronk Hurrace
Zero Maul-Envy -- Oh, yeah? Well, *I* have some envy! I'd like to take a maul and
pound you into the ground, only I'm too short. That's the ONLY thing that's saving
you. -- Erfin Goram the Envious
I rather enjoy defeating M. Chardinee. He's so...smug most of the time. -- Bali
Darras
P.S. But he does squish nicely.
Sir Paul -- I do like a man with staying power. Of course, that means, as any
reasoning being can tell, that I have staying power myself.... -- Donetta Faldour
Lady Margaret -- I am a champion needle-threader, and if you give the matter some
thought, you'll see what this was a significant factor in our fight. Still, I was so
pleased to get another win (FINALLY!) that I would be delighted to thread a dozen or
so needles for you. Ask and it shall be threaded. -- Gabrella Imbro
Oh, no! We missed a chance to fight The Big Tuna and didn't even NOTICE? Horrors!
Woe is us! -- The Middle Way
Zero Maul-Envy -- No! My secret is out, what shall I do? -- Erfin Goram
P.S. Actually, I'm a Finer Ogram, but we try to keep it secret.
Squire -- Re census forms: The front page, where you pick a race and indicate
preferred personalized comments, will eventually be input if you send it to the
Commission. The back page, alas, is used by no one but me, and since I'm not even IN
the office, effectively by no one. -- the Scribe
P.S. Short form: No, it's useless. Pitch it.
20 April 2007
All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
