DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Here I am again. Chalk up my 6th DM crown. Whoooooeeeeeyy! I don't have
anything to write, so I could play for you, but instead, I will tell you what these
(us) Oldies looked like at birth:
ST - 9,11,12,12,14
CN - 6,8,9,13,17
SZ - 11,13,14,15,16
WT - 6,14,17,17,21
W - 9,9,14,15,18
SP - 9,10,10,10,13
DF - 7,9,11,11,11
+2 Init, +2/4 Rip, +3 Rip, +4 Def, +1 Dec, +3 Dec, + Endu
And a partridge in a pear tree.

SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon TELORINTHE,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing is certain in TELORINTHE, with
changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--SUDDENLY,
THE VAN. Practice pays for SOUTHBOUND, who pummelled PERSISTANT BEGGAR, to pocket 16
points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, SANGER was winsome, after beating
CRACKER JACKS and seeing him lose 10 points. ACCORDION successfully staved off a
grab for the roses by MORIS NAHR of MIDDLE WAY 21. Does TELORINTHE have no one
talented enough to dethrone it? Word has it one team in TELORINTHE is using psychics
to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
And how sociable are TELORINTHE's warriors? Come, let us see. Like a horde of
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in TELORINTHE avoid SUDDENLY,
THE VAN. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of OLDIES, so did that
sorry team shy from SUDDENLY, THE VAN If challenges were horses, SANGER could open up
a fast food joint!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an
unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in TELORINTHE is the highlight of my life. As the
seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to
leave this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid
TELORINTHE farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Suddenly The Van? Eric? Didn't the boss meet you at The Face. Well, greetings from
me. -- Coach, Consortium affiliated
Seems unlikely, but who knows what he might get up to, since his manager doesn't
pay attention.
Berthold -- My box held together while my carmel popcorn did its thing. Gotcha on
the peanuts, eh? -- Cracker Jacks
Morris Nohr -- Thanks. I couldn't do all this without you. -- Accordion
Eric -- I finessed you all te way to that win. -- Contract Bridge
Petro Salm -- It was a pleasure to meet you. I was a lucky, lucky, guy. -- 4-H
Melanie Obern -- You continue to make my life miserable. Why can't you clean up
after yourself? -- Custodian
And put you out of a job?
Sanger -- I don't think I can beat you, but my job is to keep you away from Accordion
so he can shine and perform at his best. -- Cracker Jacks
May all your lives be filled with successes. -- Coach, Oldies
All -- By way of introduction, I'm running Black Lightning. I've recently re-caught
my D2 bug which is leading me to this fine place. Sure we'll all cross blades pretty
soon. You are all invited to our stables to break bread and welcome us aboard, let's
try to do that before one of you kills one of my flock (while things are still nice
and cordial!) Blades up -- Dark Angel
Greetings.
Wow, we had a tourney participant! Guess that's one who won't be in Storm Rock. --
the Middle Way
Accordion -- We've got to stop meeting like this. People are talking (though not
here). -- Moris Nahr
P.S. You coulda shared those skills more evenly.
Sven -- Bored, are you? In no rush to get back to your guildhouse? Can't blame you
for that. -- Sam Tall
Life Scout -- Ah, and did you FIND any life when you went scouting? Around here, you
have to look hard, I think. -- Petro Salm
Custodian -- No, really, swap the broom for some true weapon. Exchange the dustpan
for a shield. Something. -- Melanie Obern
P.S. Or come do a job on our guildhouse. I swear, Jorja doesn't seem to believe in
cleaning! Or maybe it's my teammates.
Well, a Convicted Thief. He claims he isn't really a thief, and that he wasn't even
convicted, but... why would he go out in the world under that title if it weren't
true? -- Rosana Sabel
