Reflections by the Champion of the Horn
I have been studying really hard lately trying to rise in the arena. It has
finally paid off with a victory over Froo Froo and my first Advanced Duelmaster's
crown. My manager and myself are really new to this Advanced Duel game, so there is
much we need to learn. Patience has apparently been the key to lots of success.
Sadly, I don't possess any and Darque isn't exactly known for it. For now, we are
greatly enjoying this arena and week after week of good competition.
I'm not 100% sure who Darque wants me to challenge--I know my own personal
preferences, so we will see if holding this title gives me any added weight in the
team meeting. It is really the only time a girl wants added weight!
Hopefully not the last time...
Your Keeper of the Horn,
The Bride
P.S. And boys, despite the stage name, I am very much single and looking for a date
or two!
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
You know, weather is just amazing. A couple of days ago, we had a record high
for the whole MONTH of seventy-seven degrees. Today we've got snow and a windchill
of ten below. No chance to get comfortable with highs or lows. Unsettling. Plus,
there's snow and wind and nobody much wants to go outside right now. The city
maintenance people are running back and forth with snow blades on front of their
trucks. Ah, well.
Virginia, No Santa got the biggest point rise of 35. Good work! Pinch Blister
had the biggest drop, 34. Oops. Same fight.
Theoretically, Sheperds was or were most avoided, by Nomadic Tribe. That's just
something to fill the slot in the form. No avoids were issued that I can see.
Moist Towelette was most challenged. Remaining moist with a windchill of ten
below would challenge anybody.
Thirteen fights, three challenges (TWO different managers!), two standbys.
ANZAHANZEK (7-6204) (17-12-0,44) of SENTINELS fought CAPTURED PIRATE KING (107-
2) (0-0-0,30) of Shopworn but Reliable Standbys. ANZAHANZEK overpowered CAPTURED
PIRATE KING in a popular 1 minute mismatched conflict. Ah, well, what do you expect.
Pirate Kings are handicapped on land.
JELLO KNUCKLES (42-4554) (40-30-0,93) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought CAJETAN (7-6036)
(19-20-1,66) of SENTINELS. JELLO KNUCKLES handily defeated CAJETAN in an exciting 5
minute one-sided contest. I should hope so! It isn't like there are any hidden
tourney fights here.
1977 AMC MATADOR (42-4116) (57-41-0,136) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought IMPRISONED SPY
(107-9) (0-0-0,170) of Shopworn but Reliable Standbys. 1977 AMC MATADOR was savagely
defeated by IMPRISONED SPY in an exciting 3 minute match. Oops. I suppose the
standbys have to win occasionally, but I don't like it when THAT one wins. He's, um,
a braggart and a bully when he wins.
PINCH BLISTER (18-9859) (38-44-0,173) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought VIRGINIA, NO
SANTA (65-6623) (29-40-1,126) of GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS. PINCH BLISTER was overpowered
by VIRGINIA, NO SANTA in a 1 minute one-sided melee. This is the fight with the most
point movement.
SHINY PENNY (32-3789) (72-127-2,183) of FOUND IN THE SAND fought RINDEL (29-
5346) (41-39-0,188) of MID EARTH. SHINY PENNY won victory over RINDEL in a popular 1
minute fight. A VERY shiny penny.
FROO-FROO (18-9589) (65-36-4,200) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought WALLI WEEBLE (21-
6935) (39-29-0,195) of NOMADIC TRIBE. FROO-FROO vanquished WALLI WEEBLE in a popular
2 minute gruesome uneven duel. Experience is a powerful advantage.
JOSH (18-9109) (28-31-0,187) of SHEPHERDS fought BEDDER (18-10043) (28-26-2,180)
of CENTER FOR OLDS. JOSH overpowered BEDDER in a 1 minute uneven melee. You'd think
it would have been even, but... nope. Ever wonder how the stewards make that call?
GAD (18-9239) (37-43-1,190) of SHEPHERDS fought LHISSON (29-5456) (42-40-0,176)
of MID EARTH. GAD was overpowered by LHISSON in a crowd pleasing 1 minute bloody
one-sided struggle. A little embarrassing for Gad, perhaps.
AZAGHAL (81-1223) (32-29-1,212) of DRAGONBANE GUILD fought THE HYPHEN-DASH (42-
4499) (36-23-1,197) of COLOR ME SUAVE. AZAGHAL bested THE HYPHEN-DASH in an action
packed 2 minute brawl. Down with hyphenation!
FAN ZHEN (81-1288) (33-25-2,227) of DARQUE AGES fought HEINRIK (81-1257) (41-41-
1,215) of CLAN LONGBEARD. FAN ZHEN was overpowered by HEINRIK in a 1 minute one-
sided fight. And now Heinrik has, or perhaps regains, a winning record. Good work.
The challenges:
EVANGELION (59-2340) (38-29-1,203) of IMPROVED ILLUSION challenged MOIST
TOWELETTE (42-4430) (75-44-4,241) of COLOR ME SUAVE. Up 38, I think. This higher
math can be tough. EVANGELION was overpowered by MOIST TOWELETTE in a 1 minute
mismatched Challenge duel. Obviously, Moist rose to the challenge.
RAGGEDY ANN (45-4148) (50-23-0,195) of DARQUE FORCES challenged ALMOST PRETTY
(42-4496) (59-37-0,202) of COLOR ME SUAVE. Up 7. RAGGEDY ANN was viciously subdued
by ALMOST PRETTY in a 5 minute Challenge battle. A little jealousy here?
For the title:
OBROJOBO (7-5869) (33-26-1,225) of SENTINELS boldly challenged THE BRIDE (45-
4180) (42-24-2,249) of DARQUE FORCES. Up 24. OBROJOBO was devastated by THE BRIDE
in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight. A good try, Obrojobo, but not cigar
today. And congratulations to The Bride on the win and a fine column.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Walli -- Just a few more skill learns and I'll hopefully be able to turn the page so
that I never have to worry about your kind again! -- Gad
Moist Towelette -- I think I know how you must feel. Used and discarded. -- Josh
1977 AMC Matador -- Unlike you, a classic that need not worry so much about each and
every passing Christmas, I see Christmases pass and my position remains much the
same. Yet another thing to hate about this season. Luckily it's a long ways away
now! -- Virginia
Almost Pretty -- I thought we had a discussion and you weren't going to embarrass me
like that anymore. You know I'm an icon and while I'm fine giving you the 'W,' I
need to maintain my status! You wouldn't want me to disappear forever, would you?!?
-- Shiny Penny
Rindel -- I missed my train! Oh well, I guess hoping for 5 straight was just setting
myself up for failure. -- Fan Zhen
Obrojojo -- I am hoping the days are coming very soon when losing such match ups is
not a foregone conclusion before it even begins.-- Raggedy Ann
Bedder -- You have traditionally been a very good teacher. What happened last turn?
-- Evangelion
Froo Froo -- I think the new training regimen is paying off. However, once could
only be luck. We need to try that a few more times. -- The Bride
All -- I have had this discussion with Assur recently, but does any believe a
warrior's favorite learn impacts what he or she teaches other warriors? -- Darque
