Another 4 Bridges burned behind me! Is this amazing, or what? Larsen E P.S. The only thing is, what if I want to go somewhere? No bridges, so I'm going to have trouble picking a route.... SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of NIANIA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see KORONEDUS win a fight and gain 9 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, FRATSFA SLAVE beat HAND OF HELL and HAND OF HELL lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as LARSEN E stays top dog in the city. Jim's Tap Room, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From NIANIA's trash dumps? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. NIANIA, I am losing what little hope I had in you. THE GOLDEN FISH the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like TEAM HAVOK avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. KORONEDUS was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to FATAL ANGEL of TEAM HAVOK for challenging up by 23 to SASHINDA. FATAL ANGEL was slain to get 25 points of recognition. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. And now a passing thought on a warrior dying young (FATAL ANGEL of TEAM HAVOK): You had your chance and now you're dead. Oh well... I can't say as I'm proud to find out that THE GOLDEN FISH's SASHINDA has killed FATAL ANGEL from TEAM HAVOK. I can say I wish TEAM HAVOK good luck in their bloodfeud. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? What does the NIANIA arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

My sympathies to you, but no more than that. I know an advantage when I see one, and I'll keep it, thanks. -- Sashinda P.S. Spiritual pain is not a concept we Karragit have much occasion to encounter. This is because of the nature of our religion, which I won't bore you by elaborating on at this time. But it works for us. P.P.S. Er, for most of us. P.P.P.S. Ah...if you should happen to NOT be a new player, forgive my saying this, but your armor seems a bit out of step with your style? Hand of Hell -- Urg, going for the kill, aren't you? Remind me to hire someone to meet you in a dark alley. -- Koronedus P.S. Two or three someones. P.P.S. Maybe five. P.P.P.S. Same as with your teammate, I'm surprised by your choice of armor. And it's really weird that I got the jump on you. All -- We've twisted Nick's arm over the missing new team members, and when that did no good, we went over his head and petitioned Jorja. We should be having two new teammates this time. -- The Golden Fish Jenj, Fratsfa Slave -- Come up against me again, and I'll kill you. -- Koronedus Sedmon Var, Merchant -- You have no CONCEPT of the danger you stand in when you kill a houseplant, but I will laugh when THEY come for you! -- Sashinda 20 April 2007 All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The Saint, keeper of lists LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS CANDY CANE was butchered by WURM KIN in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight. FATAL ANGEL was slaughtered by SASHINDA in a 1 minute uneven Challenge battle. VENDETTA was demolished by KORONEDUS in a 1 minute uneven Challenge fight. LARSEN E devastated VENOMOUS CONCUBINE in a 1 minute one-sided Title contest. HAND OF HELL was defeated by FRATSFA SLAVE in a 4 minute match.
