     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ALJAFIR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  If this keeps up, TROLLS, you'll 
have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 5 in the rankings?  COVEY turned 
their 2-0-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than 
this, and you get put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see 
TYLER win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, TYLER beat YOU'RE NOT GOOD 
and YOU'RE NOT GOOD lost 12 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  BIG DUDE challenged 
COMO for ALJAFIR's Title this turn, and guess what happened?  And if variety is the 
spice of life, ALJAFIR may be getting bland, as BIG DUDE stays top dog in the city.  
The Vile Vizier, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get 
this stuff?  From ALJAFIR's trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  PERRY STRIKE FORCE was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily 
livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like THE SHOWOFFS avoided them 
the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm 
frightfully impressed, LINDA was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego 
swell, sports fans.  FARRELL was challenged by one of THE SHOWOFFS' warriors this 
turn, with ANOTHER WINNER having a lead of 16 points going into the fight.  And sorry 
to say, ANOTHER WINNER bested FARRELL, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd.  I think 
exploitive snob is the term I'm looking for.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for ALJAFIR's 
morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in ALJAFIR to get a drink than The Vile Vizier! 
Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice!  So 
nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
