THE SHIRE after a sorry 2-3-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues! What's a move up by 4 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to DEEP SHADOW. DIRTY DOZENS posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd. Everybody loves a winner... DREAMS WORK had cause to celebrate, after BOB got 31 points by beating GRANDPA JACK. GRANDPA JACK certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to BOB and losing 32 points in the process! NEW RIFF successfully staved off a grab for the roses by DAN'S GHOST of BEYOND THE PALE. Does ZENSU have no one talented enough to dethrone it? So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Perhaps the warriors of PANDORA'S BOX should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of PANDORA'S BOX found their efforts at combat frustrated as THE SHIRE apparently had more important things to do than fight. Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, FLOODS is the most challenged warrior. Place your bets! MILITANT PACIFIST is the long shot of the week: they challenged FRENCHIE, up by 27. If MILITANT PACIFIST had overcame FRENCHIE, she'd be a hero, but since she lost we just laugh at her. Tough break. Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee. Leave me now, you base fools! My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for ZENSU? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NEW RIFF 5252 10 2 1 120 227 BOURBON ST.
