Well last time I was here was back on turn 443 (2004 for you earth-bound types). Defeated Leadfoot of Taco Gods to take the throne, then missed the next turn. Same thing this time, though now I'm not sure when I will be back. -- Squish The Gerbil Cruel Pet Names 2-Time Duelmaster of Zensu Proud Proprietor of a name Censored by Ye-almighty Sandy that got re-instated (Not many of those around) SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of ZENSU brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. If this keeps up, BEYOND THE PALE, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 5 in the rankings? TMM EXPERIMENTS 103 turned their 3-0-0 turn into a 7th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, OXY MORONS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see THE HEDGE win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, THE HEDGE beat NEERLY STENN and NEERLY STENN lost 20 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, SQUISH THE GERBIL has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as GRANDPA JACK takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? OXY MORONS was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like CRUEL PET NAMES avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. DAN'S GHOST 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. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? What does the ZENSU arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of ZENSU. I feel much better now.
