Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! The boys at THE SAND TRAP left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by LIBATIONS 3. Good show! Practice pays for RED GREEN, who pummelled PETER RABBIT, to pocket 14 points. SLURPEE certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to DESMODEUS and losing 11 points in the process! You could cut the tension with a scimitar as IN GEE CHUN of THE SAND TRAP met the Duelmaster. Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by IN GEE CHUN, of THE SAND TRAP, who despite a 19-22-1 couldn't overcome AMEN-TEI's Number 1. Word has it one team in AMEN-TEI is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works. So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in AMEN-TEI avoid LIBATIONS 3. The warriors of LIBATIONS 3 found their efforts at combat frustrated as ULFHEDNAR apparently had more important things to do than fight. Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and HALSTEER is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't ULFHEDNAR proud! WILD BOAR BIN found himself challenged by a warrior 24 below: BYA. BYA of SAFE HAVEN kept hers wits as she subdued WILD BOAR BIN. Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting! Do not think spyreporting in AMEN-TEI is the highlight of my life. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid AMEN-TEI farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOBBIE BRISKET 3832 12 10 1 109 FRESH MEAT (411) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MY MANAGER HATES ME 3717 15 50 0 103 WAYFARERS (248) MINJEE LEE 3751 22 19 0 93 THE SAND TRAP (403) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME IN GEE CHUN 3749 19 22 1 88 THE SAND TRAP (403) SAUTERNES 3781 18 9 0 88 LIBATIONS 3 (406) LYDIA KO 3798 16 7 0 85 THE SAND TRAP (403) BRIER THORN 3740 18 28 0 82 WAYFARERS (248) RED GREEN 2475 9 6 1 77 COLOURED PEOPLE (293) -HOWLIN 3766 14 16 0 75 TOP FIVE WOLFS (405) CALYPSO 3746 13 5 0 69 NEON ODYSSEY (402) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SALLY SQUIRREL 3831 10 12 2 64 FRESH MEAT (411) BOOCH 3783 5 2 0 60 LIBATIONS 3 (406) PETER RABBIT 3833 9 13 1 59 FRESH MEAT (411) WILD BOAR BIN 3829 8 14 1 59 FRESH MEAT (411) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BYA 3843 4 3 0 52 SAFE HAVEN (270) NOG 3790 7 3 0 45 LIBATIONS 3 (406) GROWLSK 3748 6 9 0 42 ULFHEDNAR (399) -INGVAR 3777 10 7 0 37 ULFHEDNAR (399) HALSTEER 3772 9 7 0 36 ULFHEDNAR (399) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DESMODEUS 3828 6 5 0 33 NEON ODYSSEY (402) CHENRESIG 3844 2 5 0 27 SAFE HAVEN (270) HYE JIN CHOI 3845 4 2 0 26 THE SAND TRAP (403) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SLURPEE 3794 5 2 0 21 LIBATIONS 3 (406) KALACHAKRA 3851 2 0 1 21 SAFE HAVEN (270) SIZZURP 3795 3 0 0 18 LIBATIONS 3 (406) TIRESIAS 3849 2 2 0 12 NEON ODYSSEY (402) KJETHIL 3788 2 5 0 11 ULFHEDNAR (399) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HOLD 3856 1 0 1 8 SAFE HAVEN (270) MYRRDHIN 3855 0 1 0 1 SAFE HAVEN (270) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Polyphemus killed Begtse, but it wasn't listed in the Dead section. Maybe that was because Polyphemus was on his way to the Isle. Who knows. But, yeah, that happened. -- Neon Necromancer Coloured People -- Welcome to Amen-Tei. -- So So Yun Sauternes is probably the best fighter in Amen-Tei these days. And he may be the new Duelmaster when this ink is dry. I've challenged Bobbie too. May the Gods be kind to me. -- In Gee Fresh Meat -- We are facing each others often in the sand. In Gee may have faced Bobbie this turn. May Death turn her gaze away from us, and do share our table at the tavern tonight. -- So So Yun Amongst the flowers I am alone With my pot of wine, drinking by myself Then lifting my cup I asked the moon To drink with me. Its reflection and mine in the wine cup, just the three of us Then I sight for the moon cannot drink And my shadow goes emptily along with me Never saying a word. -- Lydia reading Li Po LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GOLDFINGER was butchered by ARENAMASTER MALAKOEL in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
