I consider it a demonstration of superior strategy on my part to allow Waelgaest to take over the bar tab from the old duelmaster, and then LEAVE, taking it WITH him. After all, I have no use for an old bar tab. There isn't enough paper involved to be any use. I see that I am the steeliest wall of steel here today. That's good. I like the sound of it. These standbys, now, they're rather disappointing. Captain Eloy wasn't able to teach me a thing. Not ONE thing. Silly bugger. Little Bear SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, MORDANT? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, ONE HIT WONDERS, since BOOZE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see WHISKEY win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, WHISKEY beat JOSH and JOSH lost 16 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as BLACK 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? SWEORDMASTERS was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was BOOZE. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, JOSH was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, RANDOM MANIAC was challenged by NAEGLING, who was ranked 29 points below him. My sides still hurt from laughing about RANDOM MANIAC losing and giving NAEGLING 20 points of recognition. Ha ha ha ha!! I guess I can give a little credit to FUNKYTOWN of ONE HIT WONDERS for challenging up by 20 to BRANDY. FUNKYTOWN lost to get 35 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. BOOZE has cause to pause today, as GIN was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager. Whoa! I'll even buy 171416119611 a drink tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on its good side! SWEORDMASTERS has cause to pause today, as 1110141591411 was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager. And now a passing thought on a warrior dying young (EXTRA of CLUELESS): You had your chance and now you're dead. Oh well... 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. Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.

I'm the Popularity Leader, and you know what that means! I and my mission of guarding the alleys of Mordant are *essential* to the well-being and social life of this city. If it wasn't for *me*, the alleys would be veritable jungles of drug dealers, perverts, and fornicating felines! I suppose that I may *occasionally* take a relatively innocent passer-through (nobody is *totally* innocent), but accidents happen, and besides, I have to stay in training. -- Random Maniac What is this? BOOZE is moving up fastest? I can see I will need to add a new category of malefactor to my mission statement! -- Random Manaic We salute the PROPERLY LABELED tourney participants, this time. Go, Mordant. -- Jorja and the Homicidal Maniacs Cerveza -- Alas, the Oaf could not hold you. -- Masked Murderer P.S. And he proved it all over the alley behind the arena, which really annoyed Random. P.P.S. I don't see how you can learn any skills from him. It isn't like he has any that anyone can see. Take On Me -- I did, and I was disappointed. It took more than one hit to defeat you. Why did you keep resisting when it was clear that *I* was the destined winner of the fight? -- Masked Murderer P.S. Although, if you drew the fight out in order to teach me all those skills, I will have to thank you. This Raffi with his garrote is a sample of one of the Very Bad People who lurk in alleys! It's the likes of him that I must defeat, but he TRICKED me by getting me out in the open and SURROUNDING me. I like to have a wall at my back. -- Random Maniac Tai -- You're ridiculous. You breakfast on DUMB stuff like (gag) Froot Loops and then come out and MOST IRRESPONSIBLY win fights! It should not be allowed, and in a properly run city, it WOULD not be allowed. -- Cereal Killer LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GIN viciously butchered SHEWISH GIANT in a 2 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
