During his daily rounds of the information put out by the wonderful Duel of Swords clerical staff, Walker decided to take a peek at the schedule just to see if any changes were made in the past week for the time callers were scheduled, and more imporantly, where the gaps of the coverage were.

As he approached it, it appeared slightly different, as if there was a new column added, and he also noticed that the alignment of where the q-keepers were listed was slightly off. Approaching to within reading distance with eagerness, he could finally resolve that odd additional column. It was headed: Tue. It listed Sage and Fish at 8-11 and Scad from 9-12.

This was most certainly a surprise, and made Walker scratch his head. He went back around the message boards, to see if any official explanation was posted, and then to the front of the office where headlines were often displayed. Nothing to explain it. He went back to look at the schedule again, and found that his eyes were not fooling him the first time. There really were callers listed for Tuesday.

Walker then went on to look at the rest of the schedule, noting with approval every singla slot filled from Wednesday to Sunday. It made him think whether there really were enough RDIs to cover all these time slots. There was one caller scheduled twice, and one as a q-keep and a caller at different times, but the enormous number of different RDIs was astounding. Partly as possible point of information, partly to recognize the commitment of all the
RDIs, he returned to the message board to make the following post:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Patrons, and more specifically, the management and official of the Duel of Swords,

It has come to my attention that the DoS will apparently be opening on Tuesday next week, from 8-12. Though I am slightly skeptical about the lack of official announcement, like that that proceeded Wednesday dueling, I wish to thank all of the staff of the Duel of Swords, and especially all the newer RDIs who have made this apparent expansion possible. Without you giving up your time, the DoS would be nothing. Also, a thank you in advance to Helix
for keeping the schedule straight, and most importantly, to Golden, for having to duel with the absolute massive amounts of Duels that must come pouring in every week, and getting it done on time and very nearly completely correct.

Once again, Thank you,

-Walker Boh

A slight smile appears on Walker's face as he heads out, pondering whether to partake in a bit of dueling tonite....
