DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hey! How about that!? Here I am as Duelmaster. Nothing to it. Jade Master
wasn't in my league, I guess. (Or Garth's either, apparently.) I like it when a
plan comes together.
Did you hear the news? Looks like the Face-To-Face is for sure the final
weekend in July. (I'm ready, Boss. Put me in. Put me in.) I want to go. I do! I
heard that New Orleans is nixed, Atlanta is the focus, and a summer Face in Phoenix
is a possibility? Oh, my. Surely they are not going to say the weather is lovely in
Phoenix that time of the year? Surely not!
Hey again! It looks like either Samich of Footsteps gets to battle me for the
title next time? But they are both acting kinda dormant. Do they have the guts to
take on the champ? Maybe not. Come one and all; I take on all challenges. I want
YOU!
Vern, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN! Know me for who I am, Zontani
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team SAND DANCERS
was unseated this week as MANAGER MUSINGS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top
spot with a 5-0-0 record for the round. DARQUE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested SERNILLAN and was awarded 11 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SLUGBAIT put down ULRA
T'SSAR, causing her to lose 6 points of recognition in the process. Although KO-HA
OAKCHOPPER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious VERN. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never
fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In JADE MOUNTAIN "art" is a word that
has long since passed from the language! JADE MOUNTAIN, city of gladiators! Mighty
among the names of thy guilds is SAND DANCERS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in
the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed
to find any of MANAGER MUSINGS last week. Busy avoiding SAND DANCERS? Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. SERNILLAN take warning!
You have more than a few enemies in JADE MOUNTAIN.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in JADE MOUNTAIN as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Jade Master -- We robbed you of your precious gemstone, buddy. Good thing you had
two. -- Garth & Vern
Sernillan -- I have to say I felt pretty darned good about that win! -- Darque
P.S. And that was not a wig. It was a special set of colorful protective ear muffs
I wear during competition. My lucky piece!
Ulra -- It is all Sandy's fault! -- Soultaker
Vern -- Duelmaster.... 3-0...three stylemasters...life is good. -- FTF Manager
Darque -- Ouch. You went for baroque and gave me a terrible aque. -- Sernillan
Wrath -- (innocent look) But I thought you had mastered pain! Well, this will just
give you a chance to work on it further. -- Ulra t'Ssar
And (sigh) a couple of hapless standbys.
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
