Thought I'd check out NIANIA to see what's new. Uncool, THE RUNAROUND. I mean 0-0-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training practice! MVP award for FORBIDDEN FRUIT? MISNOMERS' proud of her after beating STUPID GNUS and getting 18 points. Talk about yer major upsets! KINTHIRA's match with POLISH CAVALRY cost her a loss of 10 points! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome FANG. Aren't SERPENTS HOLD proud. (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos. So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of SERPENTS HOLD must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are THE FUNNY FARM? SERPENTS HOLD, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone gets killed. Not after four more fights. How cruel! HAMOI TONG heartlessly sent his to GHUDA certain fate in the Dark Arena. Is a 9-5-1 bad or something? Hey, warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending them to the Dark Arena. What's wrong with GHUDA's 9-5-1, HAMOI TONG? It was kind of sad, seeing old STANISLOE DRELL stumbling around the arena, before TASAIO finished him off. Oh well! What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. NIANIA is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!

That just sounds WRONG. For Basic, anyway. Aimed blows should NOT have been doing that. They should have been DYING, which is what aimed blows in Basic do best. -- Jorja the Surprised P.S. Make that, Surprised and Disconcerted. Stupid Gnus -- Ah, good. You reap the (eventual) reward of stupidity. I was glad to help. -- Kinthira Do you suppose that idiot I fought allows himself to be called a "Fratsfa Slave" in order to conceal his real identity and protect his family from the shame? He's really inept. -- Uethinria Polish Cavalry -- I can't believe you bested me! The steward and the bookies didn't believe it, either. The steward, who cares. But the bookies are likely to send their knee-breakers after me to make up for the loss of money bet on me. How that does make up for it is beyond my understanding, but that's what they do. -- Korbrizt Horon Oh, an Embezzling Scribe. Silly bugger. -- Stanisloe Drell Gnuma Gnuma -- You're weird. I always take and bop weird people over the head, it saves trouble in the long run. -- Red Lizard LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GHUDA was butchered by WURM KIN in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight. LASHER was dispatched by HIGH ELF in a action packed 1 minute Dark Arena battle. SEE YAH was assassinated by ARENAMISTRESS VORA in a 1 minute Dark Arena duel.
