Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your deeds. And let's see, KESTRATLAK fought VETERAN MERCENARY and gained 17 points and contributed to THE GOLDEN FISH's 2-3-0. GULBY has lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, falling 16 points, while helping make THE GOLDEN FISH a 2-3-0 turn. Defending his title for another turn, HORMONAL GROWTH kept THE GOLDEN FISH's warrior, GALLORDIN, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Jim's Tap Room uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose for good reasons. My mama told me that one. WIDE WORLD OF... has cause to stand tall, as they were NIANIA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding WIDE WORLD OF... more than any other team we find WIDE WORLD OF.... NIANIA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. I like this place, NIANIA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HORMONAL GROWTH 5534 8 2 0 103 WIDE WORLD OF...

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Hormonal Growth -- Ah, that's, yes, I think that's good. You won't write "a few words from the top," but YOUR manager won't care, and I'm out from under that pressure. Out from under a winning record, too, but what else is new, eh? A losing record can be a comfort, if your manager isn't one of those gung-ho, "Send him to the Dark Arena!" types. -- Gallordin P.S. I see that this time around, your growth was in your brains. One of the best students I've had. P.P.S. Too bad this is a six-gladiator arena and five of them are us. My teammates, lucky dogs that they are, got stuck with standbys. I don't know about this "stuck with" business. Yes, we all fought standbys this time, BUT we went four and oh doing it, and if we should happen to write the standbys some personal comments, they'd quite possibly write some back. Yeah, I know, there's "thrilling" and then there's "exchanging personals with standbys," and never the twain shall meet. What the heck, there are worse problems in life. -- Gulby for the rest of the Golden Fish Korvoskol Turo, Veteran of Many Wars -- Thank you for taking the time to duel with me, and for the one skill you deigned to teach me. -- Gulby Sanardo Guiliotto, Captain of Guards -- Always a pleasure to deal with one of your boys who needs a lesson in manners. -- Grond P.S. Which one was this? He looked like he might be new. Sedmon Var, Merchant and Moneylender -- Why no skills? I figure I earned 'em. -- Kestratlak Biff Mugg, Late of Mordant -- And almost late for the fight! You might want to get an alarm clock. -- Goldina LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS HORMONAL GROWTH devastated GALLORDIN in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. GULBY was vanquished by KUNG-FU MASTER in a 1 minute uneven battle. GROND was subdued by KHALHUMS DWARF in a action packed 3 minute fight. KESTRATLAK bested VETERAN MERCENARY in a 1 minute contest.
