Apnea came out without his ankle guards, and I GOT him. What a cucaracha! Super Che! P.S. How odd. Surely that is not my strategy. But I like it, I like it. I think I'll keep it. SPY REPORT Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! The boys at DOGS OF WAR left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by ABBY NORMAL. Good show! ABBY NORMAL had cause to celebrate, after FANA got 23 points by beating LYSISTRATA. LYSISTRATA certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to FANA and losing 14 points in the process! The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as SCALLAITIS faced JHELUM's Duelmaster. In JHELUM, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, SCALLAITIS. Word has it one team in JHELUM is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life! A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of DOGS OF WAR, alone and unchallenged. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, ABBY NORMAL scurried away from DOGS OF WAR. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, SCALLAITIS is the most challenged warrior. Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting! Leave me now, you base fools! My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SCALLAITIS 5179 15 13 1 110 ABBY NORMAL (190) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME APNEA 5205 19 9 3 98 ABBY NORMAL (190) SULACCO 5128 13 9 2 93 DEATH ON A STIK (490) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SUPER CHE 5269 15 16 1 90 DOGS OF WAR (115) SHERMAN 5391 8 8 1 82 DOGS OF WAR (115) BETSY 5214 17 25 3 79 DOGS OF WAR (115) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MR.

Sorry that you can't win a fight versus your own kind!!! I am a wicked little fellow, aren't I??? Love ya sugar!!! -- Acutate, DM-72 All -- Congrats to all who took part in the tourney and did well. Also, to those who had the guys to show up. -- Banshi, 5, Amigos II Sulacco -- Not the friendly encounter I was hoping for, eh? I suppose your stinginess in the skills-taught department has something to do with.... What? Oh, I guess I'm not supposed to mention that. Well, anyway, I bet if you'd taught me more, I'd have taught you more, too. The reciprocity thing, you know. -- Betsy The Big Nasty -- So! You think you can FOOL me by not wearing feathers in your hair, huh? But I'm wise to YOU, heathen savage that you are! -- G.A. Custer Dangerous Criminal? To who, or as it might be, whom? Some babe in arms, or a little old granny? -- Sherman Baqa -- Oops! Sorry about that 'deadly force'. I got carried away in the heat of the moment. -- Lysistrata Che -- You've gotten better, I'll give you that, but Scallaitis is better. -- Apnea Che -- I want, no, I demand a shot at the throne! -- Scallaitis Sherman & Lysistrata -- We suppose you're right also, if we live long enough, we'll catch up to you. -- Baga & Fana 30 April 2003 All -- Remember to put your arena number on your strategy sheets. Strategies turned in without an arena number run the risk of missing the turn. -- NAIEI LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SCALLAITIS devastated SUPER CHE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight.
