DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Me done whomp on Loud Wee Na uh gen. That teach her kill peeps. I hand off feud to
my home boy, Sai, to continue whomps on Loud Wee Na.
Hard Up Priest act like feud is way I keep this throne. I do not need feud. Just
more lew sirs. So I send sheet to fight You Can't.
Speak of lew sirs, I watch Shank lose and lose and lose. It get old. I send sheet for
him to fight with torch. He not know. Ha ha ha. If Wreck Lan not win I do same to
him.
I guess I safe from Kill Em All cause I on top of them in list and they just challenge
down.
Say Lah Sah out, lew sirs.
SPY REPORT
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fights are so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Stab your foe! Stab your foe! Stab your foe!
I love holiday music! What holiday do you ask? Well, ya bums, it is arena day! It
is the holiest day of the month. Well, one of two holy days each month. I would
consider other arena days for other arenas too, but we know that Shadowspire is the
best! Anyway, good to see most of you bums back in this place. We had a few managers
lay out, but what do you expect from a crew like this? I would tell you I'm
disappointed, but that is my default setting with most of you. Let's look and see
what happened on the sands!
The whole Duelmaster fiasco has been all over the place the last few weeks. First, a
non-Challenger Champion bloodfeuds the Duelmaster and wins. Then the new Duelmaster
goes after the old Duelmaster and wins again. Now we have a different Duelmaster, and
my arena fries are cold. I do not know if those events are related, but who knows at
this point? So, our new Duelmaster is Broken. Well, he might just be a little sore,
but his name is Broken. He beat our previous champion and it wasn't even close as
Broken overcame Sailasa in a 1-minute fight. Congrats to Broken, who is managed by
Eli.
BY THE NUMBERS is brought to you by Otto's Diner, where our ingredients are always
fresh, three weeks ago.
Fights: 30
Dark Arena: 2
Bloodfeuds: 2
Non-DA Deaths: 0
Challenges: 11
Largest Up-Challenge: +8 points - BONNIE PARKER (81-3702) (7-8-0,57) of
HEROES & VILLAINS challenged CHRISTINE DE PIZAN (81-3727) (8-4-0,65) of DARQUE
AGES. BONNIE PARKER devastated CHRISTINE DE PIZAN in a 1-minute Challenge
competition.
Largest Down Challenge: -18 points - XIQUEEL (81-3659) (13-11-1,134) of BIG LAKE
SOLUTION challenged SHIRLEY JACKSON (81-3582) (18-17-0,116) of LITERATE LOONS.
XIQUEEL was bested by SHIRLEY JACKSON in a 2-minute expert's Challenge brawl.
Most Avoided: Big Lake Solution (178)
Most Avoiding: Mirkwood Orcs (188)
Most Challenged Warrior: BROKEN 3644 of MADNESS (190)
We have a single graduate this turn in Uhkant. Well, apparently, he can! He leaves
us as the top-rated PR in the arena. He gets a farewell fight and then we say adieu.
We do not have a top team at the moment. Darque Ages, NBA Legends, and Heroes &
Villains are tied at 10-5-0. It looks like Darque Ages faltered and NBA Legends had a
stellar turn, shooting up by 8 places. Heroes & Villains moved up a single spot, so
they have been consistent over the last three turns. We will keep an eye on it next
turn to see if anyone can step up and take the glory.
Time for me to go. The weather has turned even more chill, but nothing a few drinks
can't fix. I have no idea if it makes me warmer, but after a few drinks, I don't care
how cold it is in the arena, or outside, or in the alley, or you get the point? So,
I'll go through the regular, "I'll see you next time!" nonsense. Yes, you know I will
see you next time because I am always here! Maybe invite some new faces to the arena.
The cuter the better. I still have to look at your ugly mugs, so maybe lessen the
blow with a touch of beauty. At this point, it doesn't have to be pretty, just
slightly less ugly will work too! Alright, bye!

PERSONAL ADS
4-1 turn with Laudina losing to a Bloodfeud and another chance at the title. Fine with
me as she shouldn't have been there in the first place. The rest of the crew did fine
and I plan on making some challenges next turn. I know we don't discuss tournaments or
regular arena play in here but I'm going to anyway. I plan on running about 35 total
warriors in the dead tourny after that is done I will be cutting my regular arena play
down to just here and 20 and I will of course continue with my ADM warriors. Until
real life stuff gets back to normal I am going to have to tighten my belt and curtail
the majority of my hobby activities which unfortunately includes my multiple arena
play here in Duelmaster land. Perhaps after the new year and such I will decide if the
January Face is doable and perhaps then will readdress my budget for gaming. Right
now I'm in massive debt and things are looking shaky at best in this economy. That is
of course if we don't all end up trying to dodge fallout in the next few months. Good
luck folks. I'm gonna go radio silent for awhile. -- Eli
Crixx -- That was for Zagrid! -- Uhkant the Avenger
Dorothy Parker -- I didn't know I had it in me. -- Slaine the Amazed
Privid -- Your defense is terrible. Your will to continue is incredible. -- Ruinn the
Critic
Bubonic -- Not bad for a Dwarf. -- Fenrir the Insolent
Vlad -- I guess I missed that challenge, was that here or another arena? -- Den
Boss Rat -- When you raise a warrior for so long you cannot help but get connected to
them and then have them killed so easily on the 46th fight must just leave a hole
where all that pride was. It would be fun to kill more of your guys. -- Den
Magna Carta -- My boss told me about the Magna Carta, you are nothing like that. My
boss also says that once I am done clearing these tables he will tell me something
else about you so that I can beat you next time. -- Otto's Busboy
