DM 71 KYR'TERR (turn 166): SOLAR SISTER of THE FURIOUS FIVE (Generalissimo Puerco) DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. The Kung-Fu Master was so KIND as to tell me that he "would have beaten me to a bloody pulp, but didn't feel like writing a column." So he wants you to understand, without him having to go to any EFFORT, that I have this title "on sufferance." Yeah, right. Well, it's HIS sufferance, and if he doesn't like it, he can just LUMP it. Hitch Hiker SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, AMEN-TEI? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see FURTIVE RETURNS II win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, FURTIVE RETURNS II beat AVALANCH LILY and AVALANCH LILY lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, AMEN-TEI may be getting bland, as HITCH HIKER stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of AMEN-TEI. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HITCH HIKER 2592 12 12 0 94 WAYFARERS (248) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ROADBLOCK 2611 12 6 0 80 WAYFARERS (248) BOUNCING BEA 2635 9 2 0 68 WAYFARERS (248) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DERWEAR 2619 3 0 0 48 UN (309) FURTIVE RETURNS II 2556 7 13 0 44 SUPERIOR FORCES 5405 (302) AVALANCH LILY 2636 5 6 0 36 WAYFARERS (248) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TOM-TOM TORA 2634 6 5 1 25 WAYFARERS (248) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CTUOUS 2622 2 0 0 22 UN (309) -CLE 2623 1 0 0 21 UN (309) -COUTH 2621 2 0 0 19 UN (309) -DERSTAND 2620 2 0 0 16 UN (309) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS I like "happy" as well as the next person, but this Happy Peasant takes it to suspicious extremes. WHY should he be so blamed happy, anyway? What does HE know that we don't? Inquiring Minds want to know! -- Bouncing Bea I admit it might be construed as "low-class" of me, but I do like beating the living heck out of a Noble Assassin. When I was growing up, you know, my mama used to tell me that I should be good, or "the king would send one of his assassins to GET me." I have hated them ever since. -- Roadblock P.S. And besides, they're immoral. Furtive Returns II -- Gosh, let me guess...there's a tourney coming, right? I hope you do better with your tourney fights than you do here! -- Avalanch Lily Derwear -- What I 'specially didn't like about you was that you were trying to check out MINE. That is PRIVATE, you know? Leave be. -- Tom-Tom Tora 30 December 2005 Just a reminder to all you online type people. 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. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS HITCH HIKER devastated VETERAN MERCENARY in a 2 minute mismatched Title fight. ROADBLOCK overcame KUNG-FU MASTER in a 2 minute match. BOUNCING BEA overpowered THE HONEST MERCHANT in a 1 minute mismatched duel. AVALANCH LILY was unbelievably bested by FURTIVE RETURNS II in a 4 minute fight. TOM-TOM TORA was bested by VISITING ORC in a 2 minute expert vs. novice upset brawl.
