Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Call it luck at the right time or bribes in the right hands, but the new team THE MOTHERSHIP CH scored a 4-0-0 record this week. Hey everybody, watch out for GRONK SPIKE, who flew up 16 points in the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was KESTRALINE, who dropped 8 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with FORBIDDEN FRUIT. Our battling duelmaster CHAKTIRI has managed to hold the title, fending off KINTHIRA's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, THE GOLDEN FISH. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NIANIA arena. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad SERPENTS HOLD? Big bad SERPENTS HOLD. Big bad SERPENTS HOLD. NIANIA's afraid of the big bad SERPENTS HOLD. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one: SERPENTS HOLD + Weapons That go Boom = HAMOI TONG + Avoid City. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster. Well, there's the manager of the NIANIA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHAKTIRI 4118 15 7 1 125 HAMOI TONG (469) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TASAIO 4055 17 9 1 105 HAMOI TONG (469) -RATTLER 5766 9 2 0 91 SERPENTS HOLD (664) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ROBOT CHICKEN 5728 13 11 0 88 THE FUNNY FARM (409) GHUDA III 5786 10 4 0 87 HAMOI TONG (469) KINTHIRA 5705 18 16 0 74 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) POLISH CAVALRY 5761 8 2 0 71 MISNOMERS (672) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -THE LIZARD KING 5763 4 1 0 66 THE FUNNY FARM (409) FORBIDDEN FRUIT 5762 7 2 0 62 MISNOMERS (672) PAPEWAIO 4124 15 6 0 59 HAMOI TONG (469) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JIRO 5785 9 5 1 54 HAMOI TONG (469) CHANCE 5780 6 2 0 54 SERPENTS HOLD (664) KORBRIZT HORON 5742 8 18 0 42 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) KESTRALINE 5783 8 9 0 37 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ELINTERRI 5794 6 5 0 29 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) FROMM 5832 2 0 0 27 SERPENTS HOLD (664) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -THE JABBERWOCK 5809 2 0 0 16 DEATH APPROACHES (675) GRONK SPIKE 5862 1 0 0 16 THE MOTHERSHIP CH (678) NOSE-FACE KILLER 5861 1 0 0 15 THE MOTHERSHIP CH (678) YO SOY FIESTA 5863 1 0 0 15 THE MOTHERSHIP CH (678) THE LAW FIRM 5864 1 0 0 15 THE MOTHERSHIP CH (678) DREW 5815 4 2 0 14 SERPENTS HOLD (664) LUGBRUK 5822 1 5 0 8 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -WILE E COYOTE 5821 0 2 0 6 THE FUNNY FARM (409) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Jumping on me unexpectedly like that! -- Jiro Convicted Assassin -- Thanks for the freebie, but you're a horrible teacher -- Ghuda Kinthira -- Another random matchup between us, I like this matchup. So far I'm barely even breaking a sweat! -- Tasaio Kestraline -- If you keep learning like that I'm going to want to stay away from you! -- Papewaio We salute the tourney participants, especially the ones who went as mortals, survived, and came back to fight in Niania. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish (or are they fishermen?) The Jabberwock -- AAAAAH! Next thing will be the Frumious Bandersnatch! -- Lugbruk P.S. I thought it was the Jabber-Walk, and it it was a martial arts style.... Tasaio -- That may have been a "handy" win for you, but it was no such thing for me! I've never found a loss to be handy or favorable in any other way. So there. -- Kinthira P.S. Though I do thank you for the skills. Papewaio -- Vicious? Where'd that come from? I thought we were on good terms, maybe even friends! Cheese louise! -- Kestraline Chance -- I never really trusted chance anyway. Planning, that's the clue to success. Now if only I could get my manager to recognize that.... -- Korbrizt Horon And the Captured Orc (very rude!) makes it an oh-fer turn here. We won't be eating "golden fish" this week, it'll be fishsticks for us. -- Elinterri LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS BYE was butchered by ARENAMISTRESS VORA in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
