DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm sure you're all wondering how I did it. How did I make it to the height of
success in Stormcrowe and even achieve immortality, while maintaining a healthy work /
life balance, enjoying an active social life and a happy family?
I'll tell you.
I hadn't seen or spoken with my family all year, until Thanksgiving. That made both
of us happy. Even Thanksgiving dinner (my brother's new wife is vegan, and she's
always trying to spread the disease) couldn't ruin the immaculate vibes a little space
(not to mention silence) provided. I'm probably pushing my luck going back for
Christmas but that's me; I like to live on the edge.
An active social life is easy when you're as much fun as I am. It's a gift; I can't
teach it. I can't turn it off.
As for my success on the sands, well ... That. Is. A. Mystery. Hitting 50 FE with
enough Political Points put me over the top. To say that I started from humble
beginnings would be an insult to humble beginnings. You might say I just kept showing
up, not dying, and (most importantly) not complaining. My reward: a single Expert in
Parry. It's a rarely used strategy for success. Maybe I should write a book? 17(1)-
15(1)-8-8(3)-21(1)-11-11(1) Tremendous endurance / Good damage, Broadsword fav; LO /
LO rhythm; Attack favorite learn. Which is ironic, since I started a -3 base. When
my opponents taunted for me not "not knowing nothin' 'bout Attacking" it hurt. It
really hurt! I aspired to not knowing nothing!
I'm sure Abalech-Re is grinding her teeth right now, wondering how she ever lost
(three times!) to me. I mean, she was trying really hard to win. If I'm honest, I
did feel a little bit badabout defeating her. But losing would have felt worse.
I'm off to the Dark Arena and then retirement. I'm so old I thought about re-starting
my blog but the company apparently went out of business. I've heard there's this
thing called Tik Tok; maybe I'll try that. How hard can it be?
Toodles!
-- Ride of Die, your once and forever Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in STORMCROWE! I still haven't told Mom I'm
writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Uncool, HOWLIN
SLAUGHTER. I mean 0-1-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em
for training practice! DRACO like really fought hard to move up to 5th from 14th.
Way to go! MVP award for CHAUDRY? FAR TRAVELERS 2512's proud of him after beating
FIRESTAR and getting 18 points. Talk about yer big time losers! FIRESTAR got
smashed by CHAUDRY, and lost 14 points! HORRACH thinks his 9-12-0 and studly
character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? Don't you think
the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think YAK should let HORRACH be Duelmaster for a
while, without fighting about it. Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his
teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? DARQUE FORCES was the most avoided
team. Is a 798-537-42 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are
DEAD SILENCE? DARQUE FORCES, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them
to accept an invitation! Can DEAD SILENCE's DENNORUS be more popular than me? He
was challenged the most, but is that really the same? FLAKE is being unfair. She's
challenged down 28 against OLEWAIN. I don't know why they let this stuff go on.
(I'd better shut up) I was sorry to see such an unfair "fight" in STORMCROWE. FLAKE
got 4 points after beating OLEWAIN, 28 points below her.
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. STORMCROWE is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!
I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
