DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What were you THINKING, William Tell? How could you LOSE? Was my offer of free
publicity that tempting?
-- Bill Board
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Say good-bye
to SAND DANCERS, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the V IS FOR
VIOLINS stable. Hey everybody, watch out for AMBUSH, who flew up 13 points in the
rankings after mashing FRATSFA SLAVE like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya
know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. TUSSLE was defeated by
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and drops 7 points. SUSAN PEVENSIE got through to the Duelmaster
this turn. No doubt it was more than anxious to kick BILL BOARD's tail out of the
throne! It's a proud day for the FAMOUS ARCHERS stable, as their warrior, SUSAN
PEVENSIE, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10
gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the LIN TIRIAN arena. Here's
a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad SAND DANCERS? Big bad SAND DANCERS.
Big bad SAND DANCERS. LIN TIRIAN's afraid of the big bad SAND DANCERS. Tra la la la
la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch FAMOUS ARCHERS' act in the arena. Those
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from SAND DANCERS. Well dang howdy, but
if challenges were votes, SKIPPIT would be president. Although it may be a contest
she doesn't want to win. RUMPUS of V IS FOR VIOLINS had better have a good reason
for challenging down 11 points in a challenge which she won. I thought RUMPUS showed
great skill and promise when she subdued FIELDER. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in LIN TIRIAN have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been
fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide
Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
A salute to Champion and Duelmaster Bill Board. -- Arrowhead
P.S. Which billboard will be selected for the DM Column posting?
Well, you go, Bill Board, you just plain beat me. Kudos. -- William Tell (Wondering if
it had anything to do with the lack of apples?)
Uh, Jorja, your Sand Dancers destroyed the Archers in this turn's Dancing With The
Starr's competition. I submit! -- Arrowhead
Fielder, I wish I could compliment you on a fine strategy and performance, but, truth
be told, EVERYONE has done so against me so far. I am thinking about going back to the
movies!. -- Legolas
(Editor's note: Legolas performance = 0-4-0 in arena and 0-3-0 in tournaments.)
Skippit, you fooled me! And I give you great credit for it. -- Green Arrow
Eyelene, thank you for allowing some semblance of Famous Archer Pride remain in tact.
-- Susan
Health. Humility. Honor. Thwack. -- Arrowhead (Hoping for a little more pride, too,
next turn.)
Green Arrow -- Ha! You're too short to be a REALLY good archer, because you can't use
a true longbow. Not your fault, but maybe you should train your SZ? -- Skippit
Susan Pevensie -- So much for my winning record. -- Eyelene
Pushing Daisies -- Silly woman! You don't PUSH daisies, you PULL them. -- Arc d'Woof
Legolas -- You're such an experienced loser, I'm sure I picked up pointers for my next
effort in that line. -- Fielder
