DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail Warriors of Glorious Valamantis!
As you can see, I, Sir Kevin, continue to occupy this throne!!! Mistress made a
gallant if not foolish attempt to remove me from my divine place of glory, if only
for this short time. Seeing how I have only one more bout in this glorious arena,
who will be next? Erfin Groam, Bali Darras, Zeus, or maybe Mistress (again)? Only
time and luck on the part of those who are fortunate enough NOT to draw the short
straw.
Oh, and just to let you all know, I HAVE NOT AVOIDED ANYONE, nor will I in my final
appearance here. Some may say that is foolish, but you only go through this life
once and I will not do it running away. Besides, I once heard an old saying, "You
never learn anything sleeping." Think about it. I can definitely learn more going
forward than backwards.
So, with all this said, I need to take my own advice from my last comments, and take
a good long shot of rum. MMmmmmm. It has been my pleasure to have fought you worthy
opponents. May your swords always have a keen edge and your losses be few.
I salute you, warriors of Valamantis.
-- Sir Kevin of the Blood Knights
Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. VALAMANTIS needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Like, RANDOM SITH
had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by BLOOD KNIGHTS! Way to
go BLOOD KNIGHTS! THE BEARS like really fought hard to move up to 6th from 9th. Way
to go! MVP award for BROWN? COLORS' proud of him after beating DARTH SCION and
getting 22 points. Talk about yer big time losers! DARTH MALEK got smashed by DR
BADDAS, and lost 11 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! SIR KEVIN
stopped BALI DARRAS dead in hers tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said VALAMANTIS'
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Drake's Lodge? Don't look at me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. BLOOD KNIGHTS
was the most avoided team. Is a 207-203-16 record really that scary? I don't know
what COLORS' been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from
BLOOD KNIGHTS, that's fer sher. Like, is GABRELLA IMBRO popular, or what? She was
challenged the most in all of VALAMANTIS! She's got a 4-16-0, is that good? For
sure, I was holding my breath when I found out SIR RICK challenged GABRELLA IMBRO.
After all, haven't BLOOD KNIGHTS and MIDDLE WAY 10 had a long standing duel in
VALAMANTIS? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but GABRELLA IMBRO wants me
to write about it since she bested SIR RICK. Satisfied?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Everyone has problems, but why did LEGION OF LEGEND send IXION to the
Dark Arena? He had a 7-3-0, and I thought he looked neat on the sands... What if
they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Sorry for the lack of personal ads last turn. I'll be sure to make up for the
loss of comments this time. -- Squire
Mistress -- Aaugh, sorry to disappoint you dear, after being away for a while, you
had to come back and suffer a lot. NOT! -- Sir Kevin
Darth Scion -- Thought you had me, did you? -- Sir William
Lethal Injection -- Hey, that wasn't very nice. -- Lady Katy
Brown -- !#@**#$&@#($@#)!! -- Sir Rick
Darth Malek -- You know, I think you missed your calling. You should be a used camel
dealer. -- Sir Paul
Blue -- Well, you're probably used to feeling that way then, aren't you? Of course,
you're a golem, so maybe you don't feel at all anyway? Just wondering. -- Bali
Darras
Dozer -- Hey, cool! Maybe I've finally hit my stride (and my opponent) and I can
turn my record around. -- Erfin Goram, unreasonably optimistic
Darth Nikilus -- Er. Ah. You were cute? -- Donetta Faldour
Ixion -- No doubt it is a good thing you do, using left-over letters and all, but
your name comes out "Icky One," which isn't going to help you get a date, you know.
-- Gabrella Imbro
Silent Death -- Well, that's a mercy! At least I didn't have to listen to a long
harangue about why it was all GOOD for me. -- Gormoduc Irn
P.S. Which I wouldn't have believed anyway.
Our congratulations to Sir Kevin. -- Jorja and the Middle Way

I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
