Whoa! I matched up with Hole Card? No! A style nemesis? Hole Cards are so so sneaky hidden out of sight, then Kaboom! , they strike. Thank the gods it was an insignificant one, though. Somehow my cards (and fine defensive weapons) held up. A salute to Hole Card for the effort; a bigger salute to me, the winning Duelmaster. -- WFMS,LLC, DMIV SPY REPORT Good day, in ARDIVENT a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, HOLE CARD fought RUSSI and gained 19 points and contributed to WILD CARDS' 1-1-0. RUSSI has lost to HOLE CARD, falling 14 points, while helping make FANDILS a 2-2-0 turn. Defending its title for another turn, WFMS, LLC kept WILD CARDS' warrior, BLUFF, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Seaside Manor? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the WILD CARDS stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ARDIVENT, what are you afraid of? And avoiding WILD CARDS more than any other team we find FANDILS. ARDIVENT, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? Is it really true that ARDIVENT has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask... Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ARDIVENT and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails.
