Search the Sky went 2-3-0, and the newbie isn't anything to jump up and down about. Low mediocre. (But then again, seeing the success Fast Hack 'Em 9 had, I have hope!) Seems Eclipse has hit the wall -- hard. On the positive side, he actually learned TWO skills off of Two-Ton Timmons. And if I had run a very conservative strategy, like 1-1-1 Parry, he probably would have won. There's a lesson for me, too.
Loved the newsletter! Reminds me of the Golden Age of the 90's; lots to read and very interesting all around. Seems I forgot to make personal ads, but... next time.
Assuming that there is nobody for Pray the Gods to play with in the Challenger Champions (let's pretend that everyone in that level avoids them) what will the Arena Stand-ins look like at that level? Are they any good? (Like Black Orc, etc.?) Or will Avoids simply be nullified because, after all, SOMEBODY has to play with 'em?

Hmm? Oh, we weren't talking TO you, just ABOUT you, don't worry. Gee, and I was soooo flabbergasted too!
BTW, I AM standing alone in 33. Almost halfway and doing just fine I'd say. You're obviously not feeling as good about it. See you in the arena, chuckles...
I am amused at how you try to weave the forums, real life, personal ads, team spotlights, and arena play at your whim in a pathetic attempt to look intelligent and make a point that does not exist.
I never once said I respond only when you talk TO me. If you and your little group of hypocrite back-patters want to talk trash on here, I'm more than happy to oblige. At least I don't have to go crying to other people to help me on the forums like you do.
Yep, you have been on a roll in 33, and I believe highlighted in 3 of the last 4 newsletters for avoiding me the most. Coincidence? I think not. With womanta in the arena I told you that 50% or better is possible.
So, since you support vladgina intentionally sitting a warrior in 81 to avoid a bloodfeud are you going to support me when I fight those warriors in a tourney? Uh Oh, did I just expose your sad hypocrisy? See you in 33, if mom gives you some more money that is.

BTW, the new Big Lake Solution went 3-2 and are currently the highest ranked team in Shadowspire. They will fall victim to the typical down-challenges for the next several turns, but I expect the record to hold around 65-70% considering the the ability of the managers that employ the down-challenge.
Visionist unfortunately ran into a pair of my new guys and found out why they are the solution to my prior problems.
I believe I can get all 5 of these to ADM, even with the DC's coming my way. I'll certainly keep you updated on the progress.

Den - If you can get all 5 of these guys to ADM (abiding by the rules of this arena) I'll let you name the next two replacement warriors of mine if you accomplish it.

Interesting. The guy I named for Spirit died in the Rookie tourney, so if achieved, it may be the kiss of death for your guys.

Quitter,
Good luck in the tourney! With or without tourney experience, your new warriors will quickly follow in the footsteps of your last. So crow while you can about your fantabulous five-fight record. I salute your prowess!
But, in time and, perhaps, as soon as next turn, your record will fall, and stay, below .500. And then you'll be talking about down challengers being a problem. Ironic, no?
And the best part is that you will have accomplished nothing. Given up your laudable heritage in Shadowspire, that many of your peers respected, for the equivalent of a one night stand. Bravo, Quitter.
In deep respect for the first warrior of yours to commit that "accidental" slip of foot resulting in the death of both him and your grand plans, I remain,
Yours truly,
Vlad

Ah yes, the thread would not be complete without the architect of dishonesty speaking out. Your words are hollow, much like the piggy bank you cuddle during your desperate need for companionship.
Down challenge away little fella, down challenge away. I would not expect you to understand my workings anymore than you could understand the famed Rubik's Cube.

Zurray 81-2892 is listed on TB as AB and is a SL. Probably little stick up to his tricks again.

I am top uncharted team, which is an amazing accomplishment, considering the vast degree of managerial talent in this arena. So, you killed 3 out of the worst team roll-up sheet I have ever seen, nevertheless, I shall graduate the remaining 2 and these new 3.
Crow as you will, silly little boys, it shall not reduce my ability to accomplish that which is so difficult to most of you.
I won't even use the DA and still be better than you back-patting hypocrites.
Womanta, looks like Shadowthrone already exacted revenge on your pile of garbage you call a team. The AA plays with you like a drunk kitten plays with a ball of yarn. I know mommy does not allow you to have kittens any longer, so that may be an obscure reference.
