Nobody has started a thread yet? Looks like i'll have to be the one to get this party started then....

4-1-1 turn for the Warmasters with the single loss being a DA. DA'd a 4 WTer last turn to see the new RU come back with a 5 WT. <sigh> Confused

It was nice to avenge Nero's death and hold the throne at the same time, but we were disappointed to have not scored the kill. Maybe next time, huh Kid Arcane?

I was surprised by Dire Patience's challenge of Hadrian. That is a match up I'd normally dream of and accept all day long. In the end, it ended up getting him killed. Bummer, but it couldn't be avoided.

Nice to see the Philanthropists and Furry Fury return. Hopefully you both plan on sticking around for a while. Hopefully this trend of teams returning continues.

Losing Dire Patience was disappointing to say the least. With his attack and init ratings I hoped to land several crits in succession and knock Hadrian out of his can. Looked good for a minute.

Going to have to think about this bloodfued....

4-0 for the Diner, fending off three challengers! No idea what happened to Smushi -- I swear I didn't sit him on purpose. Either I screwed up the ID or just got sidetracked and forgot. Anyway, think I may have found some favorite weapons this turn, so look out!

2-3 with a DA. Some nice skills and ratings out of the 3 of the 4 real fights, so I can't complain that much. Replacement is kinda blaah, but I'll roll it up! Nice to see some teams returning!

Darn - Nothing yet. No 100 or 102 either.

Search the Sky went 2-3-0, with one loss from the D.A. Nobody died who wasn't supposed to, and that's always nice.

The new recruit is mediocre, but I'm going to continue to experiment with styles I have rarely run in the past -- the P-Riposte. I'm going to lay off of any new P-Strikes (unless I get a certain design handed to me by the RUGs). I don't expect this recruit to be awesome, but she's probably good enough to graduate and maybe even with a winning record. I want to keep her around long enough to get a deeper understanding and feel for the style, in any case.

If anyone has any advice, PM or throw it out there for me. I've read some articles on Terrablood (which helped me to decide on this style) and I have some ideas of my own, but I'm thinking that a lot of weight will rest on how the fighter rolls up. As I said, the numbers are rather mediocre. Wink

The Initiate ranks are swelling, so I expect that there will be many interesting match-ups to come.

Hombre, I feel your pain. My turn didn't arrive until Tuesday. It's arriving later and later. The US Postal Service has cut back a lot, I guess. The mailmen are hustling around; you don't see them in my neighborhood until late afternoon, and they look stressed.

Nothing scary about an over-stressed postal worker... Shocked

If anyone is bored enough to PM me or even just post it here and let me know what my warriors from the Commodores learned it would be much appreciated.
