Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! Nothing is certain in TRANSEL, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--LANCIARII. CHAOS KIDS after a sorry 1-4-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as LANCIARII can attest... MORAN certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to CLYDE and losing 13 points in the process! Can you believe it? RATIGAN-RAT apparently has better things to do as TRANSEL's Duelmaster than show up and fight! Now I can't insult TUB THUMPING, as it has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in TRANSEL is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works. A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in CHAOS KIDS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. The warriors of CHAOS KIDS found their efforts at combat frustrated as LANCIARII apparently had more important things to do than fight. Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and HALLUCENT is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't PSYCHO SQUAD proud! HEMLOCK found herself challenged by a warrior 22 below: SLANG DU JOUR. SLANG DU JOUR of BREWHALLA kept hers wits as she subdued HEMLOCK. The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Congratulations, KOKO TAYLOR. The manager of TOP HITS should have sent ROUND AND ROUND to the Dark Arena for having a 4-7-1 long ago. Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in TRANSEL would I avoid! All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TUB THUMPING 8081 10 2 0 97 TOP HITS (675) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -RATIGAN-RAT 7820 19 17 3 102 RAT PAK (277) OVERKILL 8010 14 6 0 94 BREWHALLA (668) CLYDE 8028 12 13 1 92 CHAOS KIDS (669) ASH 8016 15 16 0 91 FIRST NAME BASIS (641) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DOLFIN 7885 17 38 0 89 PSYCHO SQUAD (135) SLANG DU JOUR 8009 13 7 0 78 BREWHALLA (668) MORAN 7966 16 27 1 76 FIRST NAME BASIS (641) HEMLOCK 8077 10 6 0 70 CHAOS KIDS (669) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CO-PILOT THOR 8008 13 7 1 65 BREWHALLA (668) LIKE A VIRGIN 6963 6 1 0 65 FAVORITE SAYINGS (606) MCKINLEY 8020 14 16 2 60 BLACK AND BLUES (575) HALLUCENT 8001 11 25 0 58 PSYCHO SQUAD (135) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WAIMEA BLAZE 8025 9 7 1 56 BREWHALLA (668) PAINT IT BLACK 8085 8 4 1 54 TOP HITS (675) ULLANDER 7862 8 10 0 52 LANCIARII (635) KOKO TAYLOR 8108 7 5 1 46 BLACK AND BLUES (575) -MARIONETTE-RAT 8106 2 6 0 40 RAT PAK (277) PSYCHO KILLER 8083 6 6 1 37 TOP HITS (675) BLACK BETTY 8082 5 7 1 35 TOP HITS (675) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AMBER TASMANIAN 6176 4 3 0 33 METALLIC WOLVES (529) REQUIEM 8112 5 4 0 31 CHAOS KIDS (669) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YOU B@STARD 7158 2 4 0 24 FAVORITE SAYINGS (606) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -KATANA-RAT 8075 3 4 0 23 RAT PAK (277) ZOTACLES 8098 2 0 0 23 LANCIARII (635) YOLANDUS 8018 3 1 0 21 LANCIARII (635) XENOCRIS 7999 3 1 0 15 LANCIARII (635) AMELITOS 8122 1 4 0 11 LANCIARII (635) CARDINAL 8103 2 4 0 10 PHOENIX GUARD (677) PIED PIPER 8123 0 2 0 6 CHAOS KIDS (669) CHAD 8125 0 2 0 2 CHAOS KIDS (669) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
