Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but TOP FIVE BOBS will tell you 8-3-0 is nothing to laugh at... I doubt many are quaking in their boots, but ASSASSINS comes out of nowhere to get 3-1-0. What does the future hold? Watch this space... TROLLS had cause to celebrate, after SCARA got 17 points by beating YOU JUST LOST. ALIENIST certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to MASON and losing 12 points in the process! THE PLATYPUS successfully staved off a grab for the roses by CONVICTED ASSASSIN of ALJAFIR. Does ALJAFIR have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of THE SHOWOFFS, alone and unchallenged. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of COVEY, so did that sorry team shy from THE SHOWOFFS If challenges were horses, SNACKY DEFENDER could open up a fast food joint! FARRELL challenged MR PYTHON! Who says PERRY STRIKE FORCE are just a bunch of wimps! FARRELL of PERRY STRIKE FORCE kept his wits as he was defeated by MR PYTHON. Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ALJAFIR farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PERSEUS 8491 19 10 0 100 WHEN EAGLES DARE (509) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MR PYTHON 8502 16 10 0 93 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MATTHEW 8459 16 11 2 88 PERRY STRIKE FORCE (688) MASON 8458 13 14 2 81 PERRY STRIKE FORCE (688) FARRELL 8457 12 15 0 74 PERRY STRIKE FORCE (688) COMO 8460 17 10 0 67 PERRY STRIKE FORCE (688) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GRIMWAVE 8532 9 9 0 60 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) ANOTHER WINNER 8550 7 2 0 60 THE SHOWOFFS (111) ALIENIST 8539 10 7 0 59 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NOGGIN 8555 6 3 0 47 TROLLS (695) BERT 8513 8 7 0 46 TROLLS (695) SNACKY DEFENDER 8543 5 3 0 37 COVEY (698) AND WEAVE 8589 3 1 0 37 TOP FIVE BOBS (702) OFFICE SPACE 8591 3 0 0 36 TOP FIVE BOBS (702) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BIG DUDE 8579 4 4 0 28 THE SHOWOFFS (111) BLIMEY 8514 5 10 0 25 TROLLS (695) YOU'RE NOT GOOD 8600 5 2 0 24 THE SHOWOFFS (111) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DRAGON LADY 8617 2 0 0 22 THE ARSENAL (700) YOUR UNCLE 8588 2 2 0 22 TOP FIVE BOBS (702) -MERKOVA 8565 3 2 0 20 THE ARSENAL (700) -TOUCH GRASS 8584 2 1 1 20 THIS MODERN WORLD (701) -STRAIGHT FIRE 8585 2 0 0 20 THIS MODERN WORLD (701) SCARA 8619 1 1 0 18 TROLLS (695) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YOU JUST LOST 8580 3 6 0 15 THE SHOWOFFS (111) -WARTHOG 8566 2 3 0 15 THE ARSENAL (700) LONDON FOG 8624 1 0 0 15 LIBATIONS 5 (704) CASTLE KEEP 8596 3 4 0 14 WHEN EAGLES DARE (509) -FAIL-DEADLY 8594 2 2 0 13 THE ARSENAL (700) BLADE 8629 1 0 0 13 ASSASSINS (705) DAYWALKER 8625 1 0 0 13 ASSASSINS (705) BRUZER 8630 1 0 0 10 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) ONE EYED HAG 8615 1 2 0 9 TROLLS (695) APHRACE 8595 1 6 0 9 MIDDLE WAY (484) -POST-CONSUMERISM 8598 1 0 0 7 THIS MODERN WORLD (701) VLAD 8627 1 0 0 6 ASSASSINS (705) RAGE 8612 1 2 0 5 NEON SCRAPPERS (694) -SEAWOLF 8616 0 2 0 2 THE ARSENAL (700) CHAI 8620 0 1 0 1 LIBATIONS 5 (704) COUNT 8628 0 1 0 1 ASSASSINS (705) YOUPON 8622 0 1 0 1 LIBATIONS 5 (704) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
