Later days, WILD CARDS, since CHAMPIONS IV took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see ANONYMOUS win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as RUSSI takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, ARDIVENT? He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. FANDILS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was WILD CARDS. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, PENNY was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I notice BLUFF challenging down 19 points to fight PENNY, WILD CARDS doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to honor. And sorry to say, BLUFF overcame PENNY, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term I'm looking for. Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? What does the ARDIVENT arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!
