Thought I'd check out NIANIA to see what's new. Like, THE GOLDEN FISH had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by HAMOI TONG! Way to go HAMOI TONG! What was the name of that team who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total 37-51-3 you ask? (Sure) HAMOI TONG's their name, and fighting's their game! MVP award for SKIDMARK BUG? 042909A's proud of him after beating KHALHUMS DWARF and getting 19 points. Talk about yer big time losers! GNUTON got smashed by UETHINRIA, and lost 9 points! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome BIG BIRD. Aren't THE FUNNY FARM proud. (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos. I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just wing this stuff. GNU TEAM was the most avoided team. Is a 57-62-6 record really that scary? Is there some deep dark secret why HAMOI TONG's been avoiding GNU TEAM so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone gets killed. Not after four more fights. Enough already! All I've heard lately is "Will SERPENTS HOLD Bloodfeud BIG BIRD of THE FUNNY FARM to revenge FANG's death?" I mean, who cares? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BIG BIRD 5703 13 6 2 106 THE FUNNY FARM (409) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SERPENT2 5684 14 5 1 105 SERPENTS HOLD (664) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SKIDMARK BUG 5711 7 3 0 89 042909A (659) GNU I KNEW 5722 14 12 1 85 GNU TEAM (670) KINTHIRA 5705 13 8 0 71 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TASAIO 4055 8 5 1 61 HAMOI TONG (469) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STUPID GNUS 5723 12 14 0 54 GNU TEAM (670) -FORBIDDEN FRUIT 5762 4 0 0 54 MISNOMERS (672) UETHINRIA 5718 11 6 0 53 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) CHAKTIRI 4118 6 3 0 48 HAMOI TONG (469) -POLISH CAVALRY 5761 4 1 0 47 MISNOMERS (672) ROBOT CHICKEN 5728 6 6 0 43 THE FUNNY FARM (409) GNU RECRUIT 5721 4 13 0 39 GNU TEAM (670) KORBRIZT HORON 5742 6 7 0 35 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) MAUL ON WHEELS 2938 4 3 0 35 THE RUNAROUND (381) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GNUTON 5770 4 2 0 31 GNU TEAM (670) TOOTH PICK 2939 4 5 1 27 THE RUNAROUND (381) PAPEWAIO 4124 7 1 0 26 HAMOI TONG (469) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KESTRALINE 5783 3 1 0 23 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RED LIZARD 5769 3 4 0 14 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) GNUMA GNUMA 5771 1 5 1 13 GNU TEAM (670) RATTLER 5766 1 0 0 13 SERPENTS HOLD (664) GHUDA III 5786 1 0 0 8 HAMOI TONG (469) ARCHED EYELID 5775 1 0 0 5 THE RUNAROUND (381) STARVING FACE 5751 0 1 0 2 THE RUNAROUND (381) THUMPER 5788 0 1 0 1 THE FUNNY FARM (409) JIRO 5785 0 1 0 1 HAMOI TONG (469) EAU DE PERE 5789 0 1 0 1 THE RUNAROUND (381) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

That's just thumbing your nose at the reaper! In any case, a round of drinks for my fine fighter Ghuda Jr. that no one in this arena will have the pleasure of gaining a win from..... Ghuda Jr., we barely knew ya. You were supposed to deliver a TV and a lot of skills with which to beat the competition in Niania, instead you let a wall of steel kill you. RIP Ghuda Jr. -- Froot E. Bowl Gnu Recruit -- I have to say that's a tough random matchup. Especially when I bring a maul to the party! -- Tasaio Stupid Gnus -- Well, on this one the Tong got the bad side of the matchup.... Nice fight, I thought I had a chance in the 3rd minute, but couldn't close the deal. Let me learn a few things and we'll try it again! -- Chaktiri Gnuma Gnuma -- That was quite a workout for you. I think I felt some taps through my plate armor, but honestly, I really couldn't see much through my helm's peephole. I'm glad the arenamaster told me when it was over, I might have stood out there all day. -- Papewaio Chaktiri -- You don't love me any more! -- Uethinria Papewaio -- Well... I suppose we COULD, if that's what you want. I'm not likely to go anywhere, so long as no one kills me. -- Kestraline Robot Chicken -- The very concept curls my toes. What kind of eggs do robot chickens lay? -- Kinthira Gnuton -- You do not like that I have defeated your teammate? It is something that must be done from time to time. -- Red Lizard And three-oh against standbys. Good for the record, but... we've seen them before, and they never talk. -- Korbrizt, Uethinria, and Kestraline LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS BAMBI was butchered by CLARENCE S. VOLE in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight. GNU I KNEW was devastated by BIG BIRD in a 1 minute one-sided Title duel. SKIDMARK BUG demolished KHALHUMS DWARF in a crowd pleasing 1 minute uneven fight. TASAIO savagely defeated GNU RECRUIT in a 2 minute brutal fight. KINTHIRA devastated ROBOT CHICKEN in a popular 1 minute uneven brawl. KORBRIZT HORON was devastated by DANGEROUS CRIMINAL in a 1 minute mismatched match. MAUL ON WHEELS was overcome by CHAKTIRI in a 1 minute fight. STUPID GNUS overcame TOOTH PICK in a crowd boring 6 minute melee. GNUTON was vanquished by UETHINRIA in a action packed 1 minute one-sided duel. PAPEWAIO slimly won victory over GNUMA GNUMA in a popular 2 minute brutal fight. RED LIZARD was unbelievably bested by CULT MEMBER in a popular 2 minute brutal bout. KESTRALINE subdued STARVING FACE in a 2 minute amateur's competition. RATTLER devastated JIRO in a 1 minute one-sided battle. ARCHED EYELID unbelievably bested THUMPER in a 2 minute amateur's bout.
