It feels like work to speak to those that are lesser than myself, but here I am, doing it regardless. Sometimes in life you may feel like you have few options, or maybe no options at all. However, there are always options, and sometimes they are Dark Options. Here I sit upon the throne of Sunset, ironically watching the sun set on the hopes and dreams of those that long to be here. For three turns the Allied Axis has masterfully kept the throne in our hands, this seat on the top of the garbage that collects itself in our arena. Filthy Phil has decided to test immortality by sending Marvin and McBaggs to a night fight, thus one of you pathetic losers will get a chance at the throne. I have challenged Roni Rat, because I love macaroni and believe he will last about as long against me as a plate of macaroni does. Den tells me that Boss Rat is a lower- tier manager so this should be an easy fight. Then, Wally-Gator should be ready to hold the throne next, thus keeping the title in the hands of the Allied Axis. Lefty, don't address me common again, or you shall find your options very limited, much like your manager has found his employment options very limited. Besides, looks like you have lost yet another match to the mighty Allied Axis. Perhaps spend less time in the socials and more time in the practice pits. You have been nowhere and likely to go nowhere. Gonad, you have solid style matchups if your challenge goes through, if you have the seeds to actually make the challenge. I think you wear the nickname because that is what you are, not because you have them. Guessing you will all get to hear my wisdom next week. -- Dark Option Duelmaster of Sunset and warrior of the mighty Allied Axis SPY REPORT Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SUNSET. Like, PHILTHBALLS had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by THE ALLIANCE! Way to go THE ALLIANCE! I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but SEA SHANTIES really goofed with their 0-5-0. THE ALLIANCE like really fought hard to move up to 1st from 4th. Way to go! MVP award for MIGHTY HERACLES? TEAM ARGONAUTS' proud of him after beating NARDOLE and getting 19 points. Talk about yer major upsets! NARDOLE's match with MIGHTY HERACLES cost him a loss of 14 points! AJANTI DAGGER thinks hers 13-13-0 and studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think DARK OPTION should let AJANTI DAGGER be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? BIG LAKE TERROR was SUNSET's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Is there some deep dark secret why GRIM FANDANGO's been avoiding BIG LAKE TERROR so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Can THE OOZE ZONE's SAMMY SLICK be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out BLAK BOX challenged INFIDELITY. After all, haven't GRIM FANDANGO and PHILTHBALLS had a long standing duel in SUNSET? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but INFIDELITY wants me to write about it since she lost to BLAK BOX. Satisfied? What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone gets killed. Not after four more fights. Like, who is this guy??? MANIC MARVIN gets sent to the Dark Arena, battles BLACK ORC, and returns to tell of it!!! I bet PHILTHBALLS manager is surprised! Hey! Quit laughing! Just because HOLDEN MCBAGGS had 29-14-0 was no reason for PHILTHBALLS to send it to the Dark Arena! Stop it! Everyone has problems, but why did PHILTHBALLS send HOLDEN MCBAGGS to the Dark Arena? It had a 29-14-0, and I thought it looked neat on the sands... I hear THE OOZE ZONE sent SAMMY SLICK to the Dark Arena. What, is that like not well-lit, or what? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.) Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been really albendranius!
