I don't know what it is about my getting a 5-second beatdown that is so admirable, but I want to find out. If, O My Admirer, you want to talk with me, I'm taking a boat out into the harbor at noon on market day. It'll have a red shirt tied to the figurehead. Take a boat out there yourself, we'll drop anchors and share a drink (and heal I guess). -- Iron McGinty P.S. Hey Wolf, it had better not be you, or I'll shoot fire arrows into your stern. SPY REPORT It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! BASH BROS PROJECT had cause to celebrate, after MISSING PARTS got 24 points by beating BULLY. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, MISSING PARTS was winsome, after beating BULLY and seeing him lose 20 points. Out with the old, in with the new. Enter VENEMOUS CONCUBINE, handily defeating NEAR WHALE. With 85 points, BRINE SUSPECT of BLUE HERRINGS takes the position of NOBLISH ISLAND's Duelmaster. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of BEWARE, alone and unchallenged. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, BASH BROS PROJECT scurried away from BEWARE. Oh, the shame! Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting! Do not think spyreporting in NOBLISH ISLAND is the highlight of my life. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRINE SUSPECT 11390 8 2 1 85 BLUE HERRINGS (1944) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NEAR WHALE 11387 9 1 0 76 BLUE HERRINGS (1944) PRETTY ALRIGHT 11388 7 3 1 70 BLUE HERRINGS (1944) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MISSING PARTS 11486 3 1 0 54 BASH BROS PROJECT (1960) ROBBER 11473 6 2 0 50 BEWARE (1959) POT HOLE 11476 8 0 0 42 BEWARE (1959) OVERDO 11483 4 1 0 40 BASH BROS PROJECT (1960) SMOKE 11474 5 3 0 35 BEWARE (1959) WOLF 11475 5 3 0 35 BEWARE (1959) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BULLY 11477 6 2 0 31 BEWARE (1959) LITTLE FISHY 11384 1 9 0 30 BLUE HERRINGS (1944) SCOPE CREEP 11487 4 1 0 26 BASH BROS PROJECT (1960) HARD WORK 11484 4 1 0 24 BASH BROS PROJECT (1960) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ATAVISTA 11465 3 4 0 22 TROUBLEMAKERS (1958) KATANA 11273 2 1 0 21 GOTHIC HORRORS (1926) DAVEY II 11385 2 8 0 20 BLUE HERRINGS (1944) BEAST 11275 2 3 0 14 GOTHIC HORRORS (1926) BARBELA BLOODSTONE 11467 2 5 0 13 TROUBLEMAKERS (1958) BORING 11485 2 2 0 10 BASH BROS PROJECT (1960) IRON MCGINTY 11489 1 3 0 6 TROUBLEMAKERS (1958) BATTLESHIP KATE 11490 0 4 0 4 TROUBLEMAKERS (1958) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AFNORD FORGETHIM 11501 0 1 0 1 TROUBLEMAKERS (1958) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
