Those betting on COLORIFIC lost their shirt, as COLORIFIC lost their fighting abilities: 2-1-0. What's a move up by 3 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to RATTZ. RATTZ had cause to celebrate, after NIBBLES got 25 points by beating GEEAMOS. BIRDLEGG PITTMAN certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to DABIH and losing 17 points in the process! You could cut the tension with a scimitar as BIG TIME SARAH of THE BLUES met the Duelmaster. Now I can't insult BIG TIME SARAH, as she has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... 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 NANNY HOUSE are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of THE MYRMIDONS, so did that sorry team shy from NANNY HOUSE Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and DEAR ABBY is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't KRILL CAVALRY proud! Call 'im brash! Call 'im brassy! Call 'im brave! Call 'im sassy! INGRATE WHITE CREEP will face HAL MOIR, up by 41. Aaaah, just call 'im dead meat. The gods smiled upon INGRATE WHITE CREEP, in his upset fight against HAL MOIR. INGRATE WHITE CREEP gets a win, 17 points, and a free drink on me. (Next week, OK?) The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in ARUAK CITY would I avoid! Leave me now, you base fools! My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BIG TIME SARAH 8680 26 17 0 114 THE BLUES (539) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JON THANE 8845 9 0 0 111 THE RED HAND (579) INGRATE WHITE CREEP 4377 14 9 0 105 CONSORTIUM CRAP (408) NACKY 8593 8 4 0 100 NANNY HOUSE (721) -HUSKY 8763 28 14 1 99 BULLDOGS (157) NIBBLES 8827 16 18 0 98 RATTZ (531) PUMPKIN PYTHON 8816 19 11 0 92 ANIMAL FARM (510) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HAL MOIR 6925 14 3 0 90 THE RED HAND (579) BARIT CHAVANA 6918 15 6 0 89 THE RED HAND (579) NO BULL 8846 12 8 2 88 BULLDOGS (157) ADONIS 8883 11 6 1 88 THE MYRMIDONS (23) PATROCLUS 8210 16 14 2 86 THE MYRMIDONS (23) GEEAMOS 6284 15 10 0 85 CLUB HAMMER (491) DABIH 8769 7 2 0 82 CAPRICORNUS (736) HEART OF GOLD 8856 11 6 0 75 COLORIFIC (511) THANATOS 361 12 28 0 74 THE MYRMIDONS (23) DEAR ABBY 8811 16 24 0 72 KRILL CAVALRY (374) RED NOSE 8807 9 6 0 71 COLORIFIC (511) BIRDLEGG PITTMAN 8729 12 10 1 69 THE BLUES (539) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EMILE 8852 12 14 1 65 RATTZ (531) DEMETRIA TAYLOR 8755 10 10 1 64 THE BLUES (539) PHOENIX 8255 11 13 0 63 THE MYRMIDONS (23) NAPPER 8592 8 5 0 63 NANNY HOUSE (721) AISLING NOON 8888 7 2 0 58 THE RED HAND (579) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -EOMER 8839 8 11 1 56 ROHAN (735) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BULLISH 8899 8 4 1 51 BULLDOGS (157) BONGO 8607 7 4 1 48 NANNY HOUSE (721) -EOWYN 8854 9 7 0 47 ROHAN (735) COOTIE STARK 8756 9 10 0 47 THE BLUES (539) -TRAZE 8904 4 3 0 41 NAMED 03 (744) -THEODEN KING 8840 7 12 1 34 ROHAN (735) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -WHITE FANG 8859 6 3 0 32 COLORIFIC (511) CARNELIAN CAMEL 8924 4 3 0 31 ANIMAL FARM (510) ROYAL OZ 4375 3 7 0 31 CONSORTIUM CRAP (408) BLUE BONNET 8925 5 2 0 30 COLORIFIC (511) MYRMEX 8910 5 7 1 28 THE MYRMIDONS (23) -SILVER TONGUE 8855 3 3 0 24 COLORIFIC (511) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DUKE ROBILLARD 8853 4 4 0 23 THE BLUES (539) -ZAID 8907 3 6 1 22 NAMED 03 (744) SHARON'S DATE 8940 1 0 0 22 CONSORTIUM CRAP (408) GINGER GOOSE 8936 2 1 0 21 ANIMAL FARM (510) PINK PONY 8938 1 0 0 20 ANIMAL FARM (510) LOSER 8606 4 7 0 19 NANNY HOUSE (721) LEOF TORFINN 8939 1 1 0 16 THE RED HAND (579) DODGER 8913 1 10 0 13 KRILL CAVALRY (374) THE GOOD BEER 4374 1 1 0 10 CONSORTIUM CRAP (408) OLD SIGNS 7059 1 1 0 8 CONSORTIUM CRAP (408) STRAW SEAL 8937 1 1 1 5 ANIMAL FARM (510) -TINDLE 8935 1 2 0 5 NAMED 03 (744) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

DMs drink free at The Bulldo Inn. -- Kennelworth Nacky, obviously, you are a better warrior than me. Salute. -- Porterhouse Helm Hammerhand, well, we finally made it. Lord Protectors! It is an honor to travel to The Isle with you. -- Porterhouse (11+1)-7-15-17-17-(9+1)-(11+1) ST Health; humility; Honor! -- Kennelworth Consortium Crap, we see you. I may have been a little slow on the uptake. -- Kennelworth, Mino, and Purple People Eater Porterhouse -- I did think that; and don't call me Shirley. -- Patroclus Bullish -- I'd say more peckish, than bullish. But that doesn't really fit your team theme, does it? -- Thanatos Barit Chavana -- The one thing I took away from our fight was how good I looked swinging that axe. Wouldn't you agree ? -- Adonis Duke Robillard - I liked you better in the Fabulous Thunderbirds. -- Myrmex Birdlegg Pittman -- In proper society, it's considered polite to give up when you're desperate, staggering with exhaustion, and too tired to defend yourself. Some might overlook this social faux pas, but I cannot. I'm working on it. -- Patroclus Bongo -- You represent a disturbing trend : warriors you have clearly lost the fight but refuse to give up. I miss the Good Old Days, when desperation and frantic carelessness used to mean something. I blame the Arenamaster, who was clearly asleep on the job. -- Bitter Phoenix LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ALGEDI was butchered by DEVELLAN JARA in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
