Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your deeds. And let's see, BITTER PILL fought GUPPY and gained 20 points and contributed to OBELISK 002's 2-3-1. GUPPY has lost to BITTER PILL, falling 12 points, while helping make THE GOLDEN FISH a 3-2-0 turn. And not without some honor, ANSWER PACK now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of NIANIA. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at Jim's Tap Room until they win. Maybe? I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher friend of mine assures me this is true. THE RUNAROUND 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 THE RUNAROUND more than any other team we find MENTOR DEMENTOR. NIANIA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that SAM THE WHALE from THE GOLDEN FISH was NIANIA's most challenged warrior this turn. In a brave attempt, LUCY from MENTOR DEMENTOR challenged up 18 points to fight GENERAL PATTERN from the THE RUNAROUND stable. LUCY perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she defeated GENERAL PATTERN and ended up with 47 recognition points. A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. Is it really true that NIANIA has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask... Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare to fight bravely. Always good to rest in NIANIA, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns.
