I made it! Off to the Isle I go with a Sombrero at my side. A Golden Sombrero at that! It's a long road to The Isle and perhaps we will empty a jug of tequila on the way? I have had a great run here, going 18-2 with 8 Duelmaster titles. I may just build me a little log cabin on The Isle and give it a rest. For those curious, I am a normal endurance, great damage, 17-8-6-21-9-8-15 Basher, and proud of it. Fight to win, or rest in peace. -- Kokomo, DMVIII SPY REPORT Greetings, Warriors of RODEKI. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. The boys at MI CASA left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by DIAMOND LINGO. Good show! He who laughs last didn't get the joke. Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe BOOK OF CHANGE. Last week they got 0-0-0 to drop by 6! DIAMOND LINGO posted a nice gain, to come in 1st. Everybody loves a winner... Practice pays for HOMINY HOMINY, who pummelled GOLDEN SOMBRERO, to pocket 20 points. CREVE COEUR certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to TEENY TUCKER and losing 14 points in the process! Can you believe it? KOKOMO apparently has better things to do as RODEKI's Duelmaster than show up and fight! Now I can't insult PICKENS, as he has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of BOOK OF CHANGE, alone and unchallenged. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of MI CASA, so did that sorry team shy from BOOK OF CHANGE If challenges were horses, LADDER could open up a fast food joint! As a confidence booster, PICKENS challenged LADDER, down 44 points. Do you also slay vicious rodents in your spare time, PICKENS? PICKENS beat LADDER. The whole thing leaves a bitter memory. Mismatched by 11 points, FUNGO killed MILFORD. Is this really worth noting? I thought MILFORD showed great skill and promise when it was dispatched by FUNGO. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Sober up, young warriors, and take note of MILFORD's fate! FUNGO of DIAMOND LINGO handily did it in. Experience counts for something on RODEKI's sands. Forgive and forget is not my motto. Take heed, FURRY FURY, as GRUMPY CAT's death remains unavenged. 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. RODEKI, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Warty Toad.
