Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. If this keeps up, SHE'S CRAFTY, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 5 in the rankings? ROMAN EMPIRE turned their 2-3-1 turn into a 5th 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 KEITH RICHARDS win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, KEITH RICHARDS beat POCKET ROCKET and POCKET ROCKET lost 16 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like MORDANT has some guts at least, MAKESHIFT ANCHOR the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. MAKESHIFT ANCHOR challenged LARRY KING for MORDANT's Title this turn, and guess what happened? And it's out with the old, in with the new, as LARRY KING takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. 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. MANNEQUIN'S BEST, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was SEA DOGS. Ha ha ha ha! Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Whoa! I'll even buy LION DUNG II a drink tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good side! 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 MORDANT to get a drink than Conan's Place! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!
