Ugh. I need to get AI to start writing some of these columns. Three DM columns in three arenas today. Ah, the price of sweet success! Not sure how much longer Neon is going to stay active here. With a couple teammates sitting idle for tourney participation, trying to recruit a newb to replace Shatterskull, there's only a couple of us left to fight, and Megaloman is struggling to find his footing. I guess the main reason to stick around would be to lay some additional beats on that annoying Lenpros team. But even that may not be enough incentive. We'll see how the winds blow. In the meantime, good try, Billy Joe! You had your shot, but just couldn't close the deal. Is Max next up? And, lastly, a hearty welcome to Bobby Bigfoot! It's nice to have some new blood in the arena, and he's off to a good start. We'll have to see what can be done about that. Until next time, may the gods guide your blows straight and true! -- Elenda, your Duelmistress SPY REPORT Hail IAYE! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your deeds. The CLOWDER W/ CLAWS guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, MIKE fought BILLY JOE and gained 26 points and contributed to THE YOUNG ONES' 2-2-1. RED EARS has lost to =^.^=, falling 10 points, while helping make RED DOG GANG a 0-2-0 turn. And all eyes were on GOOD CIMMERIAN this turn as it ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. IAYE has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Rat Nest? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. NEON KNIGHTS 30 has cause to stand tall, as they were IAYE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided NEON KNIGHTS 30 stable the most? Believe it or not, it was LENPROS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that RULE OF THUMB from HARD KNOCKS was IAYE's most challenged warrior this turn. A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. LENPROS has lost BILLY JOE to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried. What do you expect from 11-12-2? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Always good to rest in IAYE, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GOOD CIMMERIAN 5996 6 1 0 96 THAT'S NOT RIGHT (525) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MIKE 4707 10 6 3 107 THE YOUNG ONES (455) MAX 5995 15 3 0 97 LENPROS (145) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VIVIAN 4708 15 7 0 82 THE YOUNG ONES (455) ELENDA 5988 15 9 1 79 NEON KNIGHTS 30 (524) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -THE PREACHER 5979 9 8 0 63 BOOT HILL (522) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CHICKEN WING 6016 6 1 0 54 SUPER COOKIE (527) NEAL 4710 7 11 0 48 THE YOUNG ONES (455) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DREAM 6012 3 2 0 48 SUPER COOKIE (527) SELLSWORD 6076 3 0 0 34 HARD KNOCKS (531) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BACKSTABBATH 6053 2 0 0 33 CLOWDER W/ CLAWS (529) =^.^= 6054 2 0 0 33 CLOWDER W/ CLAWS (529) TRY ME 6055 2 0 0 31 CLOWDER W/ CLAWS (529) MURDER MITTENS 6052 2 0 0 31 CLOWDER W/ CLAWS (529) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MR BALOWSKI 6029 6 5 0 23 THE YOUNG ONES (455) TENDER FURY 6078 2 1 0 23 HARD KNOCKS (531) KRIEGHUND 6077 2 1 0 23 HARD KNOCKS (531) -SUPER SLOTH 6032 3 1 0 22 SUPER COOKIE (527) LATHRIL 6027 1 0 0 21 NEON KNIGHTS 30 (524) -SILVER SPINNER 6025 2 4 0 18 NEON KNIGHTS 30 (524) HISS-SPIT-HIDE 6058 1 1 0 18 CLOWDER W/ CLAWS (529) RED EARS 6034 3 5 1 15 RED DOG GANG (356) MEGALOMAN 6039 1 2 0 13 NEON KNIGHTS 30 (524) TRUSTY RUSTY 6033 2 6 0 12 RED DOG GANG (356) RULE OF THUMB 6080 3 0 0 9 HARD KNOCKS (531) MARY CATHERINE 6083 0 2 0 2 LENPROS (145) TET OFFENSIVE 6084 0 1 0 1 HARD KNOCKS (531) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
