Well, thank you, Warwick! I don't think I could have beaten a warrior with such a distinguished resume' as you have, so I appreciate you taking a break and making an opportunity for me. We'll see how long I can remain. I thought I would garner the attention of the Lady Greywand by now, but such is not the case. I have an idea what she is looking for: I have the requisite wins, the necessary FE, the needed political points, and the ratings. Well, maybe not the ratings. Apparently she wants to see them in specific skill areas. I guess there's a little more learning to do. Nice turn, Eagles Dare! Took top team by one measly fight, but you did it. We Scrappers still managed to garner five arena awards to earn a free turn next cycle, thanks to me, of course. We're still partying like it's 1999! May the gods guide your blows straight and true! -- Mr. Python, your Duelmaster SPY REPORT Welcome ALJAFIR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! WHEN EAGLES DARE were a bunch of dogs after NEON SCRAPPERS got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! Hmmmph! I always thought TROLLS was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 1-4-0! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! MIDDLE WAY is now ranked 5th with a 1-1-0 turn. It seems so recently people were saying NEON SCRAPPERS was washed up, finished. But 4-1-0 moved them up 1. I guess they're washed no more... What's with NEIL AND? He actually beat ALJAFIR's PERSISTENT BEGGAR, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight. Try as he might, COMO wasn't good enough at persuading MR PYTHON to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... ALJAFIR thinks TROLLS and their 37-54-2 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... The bums at THE SHOWOFFS couldn't face the challenges from TROLLS! No excuse for that! What do people see in RALF TANNER? His 2-6-0? MIDDLE WAY ain't talkin', but he's got 16 points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that GRIMWAVE gets in. He fights people like CASTLE KEEP, 14 points below. I thought GRIMWAVE showed great skill and promise when he subdued CASTLE KEEP. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Warriors of ALJAFIR unite. You have only your games to lose! Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. ALJAFIR is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MR PYTHON 8502 22 12 0 138 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -WARWICK DAVIS 8323 12 0 0 137 TEAM WILLOW (673) GRIMWAVE 8532 14 12 0 102 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME COMO 8460 20 15 0 83 PERRY STRIKE FORCE (688) ALIENIST 8539 14 11 0 73 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) CASTLE KEEP 8596 10 5 0 73 WHEN EAGLES DARE (509) RAGE 8612 9 2 0 73 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) TUMBLIN' DICE 8560 7 2 0 70 244 BOURBONS ST (699) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MASON 8458 16 19 2 69 PERRY STRIKE FORCE (688) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FARRELL 8457 13 22 0 61 PERRY STRIKE FORCE (688) BERT 8513 11 8 0 58 TROLLS (695) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BLADE 8629 6 0 0 49 ASSASSINS (705) YOU JUST LOST 8580 8 9 1 47 THE SHOWOFFS (111) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YOU'RE NOT GOOD 8600 9 6 0 33 THE SHOWOFFS (111) DISTINGUISHED 8618 4 4 0 33 WHEN EAGLES DARE (509) TYLER 8638 3 4 0 32 PERRY STRIKE FORCE (688) BRUZER 8630 7 2 0 31 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) TACO TRUCK 8646 5 1 0 31 WHEN EAGLES DARE (509) BIG DUDE 8579 7 9 0 30 THE SHOWOFFS (111) TOUCH GRASS 8584 3 4 1 30 THIS MODERN WORLD (701) NOGGIN 8555 6 7 0 25 TROLLS (695) POMPEII 8603 4 4 0 24 WHEN EAGLES DARE (509) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME APHRACE 8595 4 11 0 23 MIDDLE WAY (484) -VLAD 8627 2 4 0 23 ASSASSINS (705) -COUNT 8628 4 2 0 20 ASSASSINS (705) -DEVIL FISH 8656 1 0 0 19 SATAN'S KINGDOM (708) RALF TANNER 8634 2 6 0 16 MIDDLE WAY (484) NEIL AND 8590 1 0 0 16 TOP FIVE BOBS (702) ONE EYED HAG 8615 3 4 0 15 TROLLS (695) SCARA 8619 2 4 0 10 TROLLS (695) -DAYWALKER 8625 1 5 0 8 ASSASSINS (705) EYE SCREAM 8647 1 2 0 5 TROLLS (695) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
