Not much to say this week, Kinthira, thanks for the match up, I just love fighting you (just happens to be a good matchup for me). Rattler, stay away, that's all I'm sayin'. You'll get your time on the throne soon enough, why don't you just fight Chaktiri or that Chicken fella for a few turns until I can get outta here! So what happens this week? Who knows. What I do know is that I plan to introduce anyone who wants to try for the title to my good buddy Mr. Maul. You don't want to meet Mr. Maul. He's a little grouchy. Tasaio, 2 time duelmaster! One via title defense! SPY REPORT Greetings, Warriors of NIANIA. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Good things come to those who fight well, as SERPENTS HOLD can attest, moving up by 0. Practice pays for GHUDA III, who pummelled FORBIDDEN FRUIT, to pocket 15 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 10 points to GHUDA III. (Discrete enough, FORBIDDEN FRUIT?) What can be a greater victory? ROBOT CHICKEN has taken his place as the top, as NIANIA's new Duelmaster. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of THE RUNAROUND should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup with its tail between its legs, HAMOI TONG scurried away from THE RUNAROUND. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, FORBIDDEN FRUIT is the most challenged warrior. Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in NIANIA would I avoid! All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. NIANIA, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Jim's Tap Room.

I will blame any lack of tourney success on your poor teaching skills. -- Jiro Robot Chicken -- Nice fight! I like the win, but really, not gonna teach me anything! That's quite passive-aggressive of you. -- Chaktiri Kinthira -- Can we just keep doing this over and over until I graduate? -- Tasaio Rattler -- Someday.... someday..... someday..... -- Ghuda III Arched Eyelid -- A little bit of a tough matchup, it looked like you almost pulled it out. Still advanced in the rankings, though. Thanks for helping me to be so popular this week! -- Papewaio Tasaio -- Three cheers for living on the edge! -- Kinthira Papewaio -- Could've been worse. I could've been one of those bare-hand idiots who gets injured by the parries she makes. -- Kestraline Grape Ape -- Ah, grape juice! Just what I needed for a purple cow. -- Korbrizt Horon Eau de Pere -- Not running around fast enough yet, it seems. -- Elinterri Tasaio -- As you see, it isn't only bashers who live on the edge. But so far, I can take it, and that's all I ask. -- Kinthira Someone's been feeding the Userous Merchant red meat. Stop! -- Kestraline Drew -- Damned golem! I didn't sign up to fight golems. -- Lugbruk LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS BYE was butchered by HIGH ELF in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
