It is always a blessing to my soul to see you in the arena. We come here for the entertainment, but I rather enjoy the company. It was an exciting day in the arena, so let's not waste any more time with the small talk. Thirsty Thug's warrior, Tumble Belly, has the throne last cycle. Tumble had a double blessing when he also received an invitation to the Isle of the Eye. With that being said, we knew a new Duelmaster was coming to the throne. Tumble beat Dakia Wildrose, so we had to go back to recognition points to determine our top warrior. Biff made his way back to the top by being the highest-recognized gladiator. Congrats to Biff and his manager over at the Akakia. Biff also gets an invite and will leave us the next turn. The throne feels very active of late as we lose our champions to immortality. This is the goal of the gladiator life, so we congratulate our Lord Protectors, old and new. Huckle and his cats had a great turn. They were the Top Team on the Move, Farmer Fox is our Popularity Leader, as well as our Turn's Most Popular. Huckle's Cats continue to be our Top Team over the last three turns. We have already complimented Biff on his ascension, so it stands we need to recognize Pandemic Boredom's warrior, What's Streaming, on his graduation, too. If I can get the golem working correctly, I'll do a special report on our graduates. Local Girls would have been our most avoided team if they were active. Since they were not, I had to dig a little deeper into the report. It looks like we have a tie for most avoided with No Tournament Blues and Rubber vs Glue receiving two avoids each. They were both avoided equally by Darque Knights. There is no most challenged warrior today. There were nine challenges issued, but four were tossed out due to Local Girls' inactivity. Okay, time for me to go, my sweets. Come back next turn to see who takes over as our arena champ. Biff is gone. What's Streaming is gone. We have a few others that are about to gone. Next turn's theme might be GONE if enough warriors meet the graduation requirements. Ah, the best course of action is to come back and see how it all plays out. -- Sidara Brightbell DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BIFF 1212 21 23 0 110 AKAKIA (86) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WHAT'S STREAMING 1137 22 22 1 107 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) SALLY CAT 1415 11 9 2 102 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) DAKIA WILDROSE 1159 23 27 0 97 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) FERAL DIVA 1393 12 10 0 94 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) NEENER NEENER 1382 14 9 1 92 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GRANDMA CAT 1451 9 6 1 87 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) MOZELLE ALDERSON 1406 12 9 0 86 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) HOEB 1184 19 27 1 85 THIRSTY THUGS (31) I KNOW YOU ARE 1381 20 3 0 82 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) FARMER FOX 1341 12 17 0 79 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS 1378 10 13 0 78 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) SQUARE 1413 15 5 0 76 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) DEMOLITION DOG 1390 19 4 0 75 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) -EMMA STONE 1370 10 11 0 72 LOCAL GIRLS (88) ORA ALEXANDER 1410 9 11 1 70 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) GREG 1328 10 20 0 69 AKAKIA (86) ENFEEBLEMENT RAY 1428 11 7 0 68 THIRSTY THUGS (31) BUT WHAT AM I 1383 18 5 0 67 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ALBERT 1210 11 33 0 66 AKAKIA (86) CHAIN GANGSTER 1392 11 11 0 64 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BULLY BOBCAT 1467 9 2 1 62 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LOLA DOOMFIST 1494 4 2 0 50 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) COHERENCE 1445 8 9 1 48 THIRSTY THUGS (31) -STEVIE NICKS 1483 5 1 0 44 LOCAL GIRLS (88) IRONCLAD KNIGHT 1423 10 9 1 40 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) FAZ EBONSTEEL 1487 4 4 1 38 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) HILDA HIPPO 1446 10 7 0 37 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THREADS 1442 6 10 0 32 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) -GRUMPY CAT 1457 5 4 0 31 LOCAL GIRLS (88) HELLER 1485 3 6 0 29 THIRSTY THUGS (31) PROTOTYPO 1490 7 1 1 27 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) OH MORRISSEY 1504 2 0 0 24 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EDITH NORTH JOHNSON 1500 2 2 1 23 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) BOOGERHEAD 1468 5 5 2 22 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) DOOMSROLLING 1473 3 6 0 21 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) SHAKEY JAKE HARRIS 1501 2 2 0 20 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) -MARY JO WEST 1492 1 3 0 17 LOCAL GIRLS (88) KEVIN'S DAD 1472 3 7 0 16 AKAKIA (86) -LIZ MONTGOMERY 1505 1 0 0 11 LOCAL GIRLS (88) LIKE SUNDAY 1503 1 1 0 9 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) WILLIAM BUCKWELL V 1499 1 3 1 7 AKAKIA (86) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Like, crazy strategies and anything goes? Because my manager is trying to get me to do the ol' "bloodfeud Edith North Johnson so that I win and Tumble Belly also wins because he now knows his favorites and the other challenger champions beat each other up and Mozelle Alderson doesn't do the exact same thing as me by bloodfeuding Boogerhead and Dakia Wildrose loses some recognition points and I end up with the most recognition points so I become the new Duelmaster by default" routine and really, I'd rather just have some random matchup. It's a lot of peer pressure to do something that probably won't work out! -- What's Streaming LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DEAD 2 was butchered by HIGH ELF in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
