Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for CHILDHOOD HEROES, whose 0-4-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 12th. Ha! CLAN LONGBEARD turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 5th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Now let's all watch DRAGONBANE GUILD's heads swell from their 4-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see FOPDOODLE win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, RAGE beat MOLSON and MOLSON lost 15 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like SHADOWSPIRE has some guts at least, STEPH CURRY the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. AMOS challenged SHADOWSPIRE's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as AMOS 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! Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? DRAGONBANE GUILD was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like ALE HOUSE MERCS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. I guess I can give a little credit to BEAST WITHIN of PRIMAL INSTINCT for challenging up by 18 to EGWENE. BEAST WITHIN won to get 40 points of recognition. 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. It's about time ZUBIN got beat for picking on warriors like SAVAGE. Bravo, PRIMAL INSTINCT. See you at Otto's Diner. Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see AMOS and CLAN LONGBEARD at Otto's Diner tonight celebrating their bloodfeud victory over STEPH CURRY. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? There's got to be a better place in SHADOWSPIRE to get a drink than Otto's Diner! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

He was a handful! He started 9-13-15-11-21-4-11 and graduates 11-14-15-11-21-4-11. He has always been aggressive. His favorites came out as Epee, Very Low, Low, No tactic, Learns Riposte. He is mode Endurance and likely on the cursed side for Damage dealing. Bottom line, He's been fun, but its time for him to start his commercial career. It's about time he had some action figures made of him. -- Master Beru What's going on around here? Let's see if we can do some damage. -- Tripwire Hunter -- More like Hunted. Or shunted. Or both. -- Zubin Beast Within -- More like Yeast Within -- Karthik Rental Ben, a.k.a. Gender Ben(der) -- I am really sorry your guy sucked so bad that a) he chose you for a manager and b) he ignored Zubin's clear message to kneel or die. It probably didn't help that c) you forgot to put him in any armor which brings me full circle back to a). Anyways, I did enjoy that you ran to the forums to drum up supports amongst the other losers and, as could be expected, boy did they come to your defense! That said, if you need Schlongsnot in your corner, you should, as they say, consider a different corner. Anywho, it's below anyone on my team or, really, any of my stables, to waste avoids on -- let me check my notes... yep! -- the last place team in the entire damn city of Shadowspire. I mean, criminy, even Dense is above you. Good God, man, have some self respect. -- Hugs, Vlad The Iron Council has re-opened its guild doors! All prior members contact Tripwire (DM18 or DM36) if you are interested in returning. Also, if you have contacts for any of the old members, send those as well. -- Tripwire LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS AMOS unbelievably bested STEPH CURRY in a 3 minute Bloodfeud Title fight.
