Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, ROMAN EMPIRE, since SEA DOGS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this keeps up, JGW PERISHABLE, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 7 in the rankings? SHE'S CRAFTY turned their 3-2-1 turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see HORTATOR win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, HORTATOR beat POCKET ROCKET and POCKET ROCKET lost 13 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like MORDANT has some guts at least, BELY MEDVED the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. WINDREAVER challenged MORDANT's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, MORDANT may be getting bland, as BELY MEDVED stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, MORDANT? He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's the big D? SWEORDMASTERS was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like SHE'S CRAFTY avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. And we have VANE in a challenge, going down 10 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought VANE showed great skill and promise when he subdued TANKERBELL. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! 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 IRON got beat for picking on warriors like HEIDI?. Bravo, LAB EXPERIMENTS. See you at Conan's Place. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

If there are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com. If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
