Later days, CHAMPIONS, since INANIMATE TOFU took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. THE EMERALD ISLES turned their 0-0-0 turn into a 9th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, MAD SCIENTISTS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see THARIZDUN win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SNURKO beat TOFU SCRAMBLE and TOFU SCRAMBLE lost 15 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, EXTRADONAIRE has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as INVERNESS takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Original Arthur's Last Stand, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From TALCAMA's trash dumps? My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. TALCAMA, I am losing what little hope I had in you. MAD SCIENTISTS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was WOMB OF HORRORS. Ha ha ha ha! HARRY TRUMAN was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.
