I guess while Stik is busy sheetrocking his basement I will make my predictions:
Assurnasirbanipal will return (not a prediction but fact) with his one and only warrior in 21 a BA who will lose (this part is a prediction) to one of my guys ! 
Fly Fisher remains top dog in the arena!
Ben's Bazaar remains current top team!
We get one of our sporadic teams to fight this turn but not do so well!
Fizban and his follies do well but not well enough to top the current top team!
Sea Dogs only DA on of the replacements!
Sidewinder gets his first loss due to a bloodfued and is lucky to be alive!
Fly Fisher still does not get his invite (I do not believe he will get it early, I believe he WILL be 19-1 upon getting his grad notice)!
There were 3 DA's this turn!
Only 1 death not at the hands of the DA!
Ben's Bazaar goes 4-1!
Which means that the Follies must go 3-2 for my previous prediction to come true but if this happens no one gets the honor of actually being the top team unless one of us kills someone this turn!
The Grim Fan'dingos go 2-3!
The Sea Dogs go 3-2-0-1(DA)!
Nomads go 3-2!
The Red Bleeds go 3-2!
Everyone else goes 2-3 or worse!
My swammy head is swimming with all those fumes coming form Stiks basement so I will say haste la vista for now! |

3-2 for the Nomads? Considering how things have gone recently, I'd take that.
Assur should be back, which would be awesome. Or at least it will be awesome as long as his basher (and Fly Fisher) leave my champions alone. Someone else can beat them.
I predict a win for Sasquatch, he really should be much better than that record he currently sports.
Lets keep the arena growing! |

Assuming Fly Fisher doesn't reach the 160 skill early pull, he should qualify for the 30 PP (the PP requirement could be lower than 30, never confirmed this number) early invite at 18-1. That presumes he is 18-1.
And I want Ben to be way wrong, because I want a date with the Fisherman. We'll find out tomorrow night... |

Should be another wild and wacky turn any way you slice it! Hope all the new and returning teams keep playing. I'll predict a 3-2 for my squad. Things are far from ideal but they could be worse, too.
And, bonus update: I've almost got the ceiling done in the downstairs family room (with just my Wife helping...)! |

Fly Fisher got his invite. My turn arrived today.
He has a date with the Dark Arena next turn, as is the Sea Dogs tradition. |

OAB - Would I be correct if I said that Fly Fisher is well below 160 skills (preferably below 155).
Would mean that the early graduation from PP's is between 23 and 27. I'd hazard a guess at 25. |

He has 115 skills.
You may have missed his Adepts TV when counting PPs, but I don't know for sure because I don't generally keep track of PPs. |

(SPOILER ALERT)............................................................................
Well played, sir. Looks like you're off to a nice start here! Sorry, Ben, your position has been usurped! 
Looks like Assur didn't get his title shot. It'll be harder next turn with Fisher's faves known. Unseen bullet somehow dodged!
As for me, a craptastic 1-4 to balance out my 4-1 from last cycle. Rats. Losing to another TP on my challenge? Disgusting. If I didn't need another TP and LU to graduate to get my second round robin, I'd very likely DA Wallace and Mersilus right now. The matchup situation is so bad in champs/challengers right now for a scum, and my lunger continues to underwhelm. Looks like Khisanth wasted no time going after my newbie, too.
Welcome to another new team, Bloodthirst! Things are picking up around here once again! |

3-2 for the Tribe. Not great, but acceptable.
Battlecry won the Volleyball lottery. Oh joy - I just hope he learned well. (Not turn in the mail yet, obviously.)
And welcome to the new team - anybody know who it is? |

Another arena tugging at my heartstrings. Here's hoping I hit the lottery because after the 18 contest ends.... and I figure some way to win it  .... I need to try and keep my 14 team going.. and then there's 11...... and 60....... here's hoping I hit the lottery and can bring back I MAGI. |

It would certainly be a huge benefit to have you back in action in Sunset, Street! |

Sweet! That would certainly be sweet! Good luck with the lottery! I could use it as well, of course, you have to buy a ticket to win. |
