DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am running out of words for this column--which I am seeming to own. But I
shall try.
Come and see me at the Face in Atlanta. Oh, that's right, I won't be competing,
but my namesake The SOULTAKER will be there at the FONZ/SCOMSS (Pronounce that
sucker!) table. My friends Slugbait and Garth will be competing on the sands, but
their namesakes won't be sitting at the table. Confusing? Only because I don't have
a pony tail any more. I had to chop it off and sell it to be able to continue
participating at the activity.
It should be fun in Atlanta. Hot. (Some Like It Hot) I expect to have a ball.
If we can keep THE CONSORTIUM quiet. They all keep jabbering away and giving me a
headache!
By the way, MANNEQUIN, the namesake, won't be there either. He's staying on the
west coast killing off the natives. He needs to run his count up high enough so that
he gets paid at a higher level and will, then, have enough cash to participate at the
January Face. What a guy!
Well, I've gotta go. I need to meet with Darque to see if we can strum up some
action. (You know what I mean! Wink.)
Soultaker
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
JADE MOUNTAIN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see ZAGWE BANSHEE win a fight and gain 12 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
ZAGWE BANSHEE beat ULRA T'SSAR and ULRA T'SSAR lost 11 points. You're breakin' my
heart. Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to JADE MASTER, and
SOULTAKER has made the way for a new Duelmaster! With SOULTAKER clearing the throne,
MANAGER MUSINGS of DARQUE takes a proud seat as JADE MOUNTAIN's new Duelmaster, by
virtue of recognition points. The Green Axe, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From JADE MOUNTAIN's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? MASTERS OF SIN was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily
livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like MANAGER MUSINGS avoided
them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
SERNILLAN was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I notice DARQUE challenging down 20 points to fight
SERNILLAN, MANAGER MUSINGS doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to
honor. And golly gee, DARQUE won victory over SERNILLAN. Aren't we all surprised
and impressed?
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only
shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the JADE MOUNTAIN arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of JADE MOUNTAIN. I feel much better now. Paste this
one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

9 July 2007
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.
