Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with CLANK? He actually beat SPORTS GREATS' WOODS, and walked away with 12 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at KALTOS while they watched DANGEROUS CRIMINAL clobber WRATHCHILD. He lost 6 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try as she might, HELENE JUSTE wasn't good enough at persuading GRETZKY to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners. If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, SPORTS GREATS! In my day, no team with a 50-42-7 would scare me off! What's the problem, PAPER MARIO? What do people see in JERI LOUGH? Hers 12-25-0? THE MIDDLE WAY 5 ain't talkin', but she's got 99 points. A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously! Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOMBETTE 4399 23 8 0 104 PAPER MARIO (457) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JERI LOUGH 4840 12 25 0 99 THE MIDDLE WAY 5 (453) ELINDE GOSS 4841 16 20 0 92 THE MIDDLE WAY 5 (453) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HELENE JUSTE 4875 11 11 0 88 THE MIDDLE WAY 5 (453) ORVERD QUILL 4834 18 19 1 83 THE MIDDLE WAY 5 (453) -MOON CHILD 4878 10 4 0 81 TEAM CHAOS ELITE (509) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME IRON MAIDEN 4880 9 6 0 61 TEAM CHAOS ELITE (509) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GERDIG IBBINS 4902 7 4 0 52 THE MIDDLE WAY 5 (453) WRATHCHILD 4881 10 5 0 45 TEAM CHAOS ELITE (509) OVERKILL 4882 8 7 2 41 TEAM CHAOS ELITE (509) -TUBBA BLUBBA 4395 4 3 0 39 PAPER MARIO (457) CLANK 4903 6 2 1 36 PAPER MARIO (457) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ALI 4910 3 0 0 30 SPORTS GREATS (496) WOODS 4872 1 3 0 28 SPORTS GREATS (496) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ALICE IN CHAINS 4904 1 3 0 6 TEAM CHAOS ELITE (509) -TINY TOES 4913 1 1 0 4 PAPER MARIO (457) -SLINKY 4915 0 1 0 1 PAPER MARIO (457) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Ali -- Me 'n all the guys always thought you were a great one! Salute. -- Slinky 'n boys Beggar -- Sorry, but you were soooooooooooooooooo persistent. -- Clank Fergus -- But, but, it's for ME! Can't you swim? I will make it worth your while. (wink) -- Bombette Woods -- Ah, but I was a farm boy, you see. Used to cutting down woods. Hacking it up, making it into billets of firewood, even burning it to charcoal! You were no match for ME, boy. -- Gerdig Ibbins of the Swelled Head Gretzky -- Nonsense! My manager would lose much MORE sleep in regard to me if I were one of those people always putting herself forward, claiming some elevated and conspicuous position. NOT my style at all. -- Helene Juste Aha! I knew if I studied Kung-Fu in secret, I'd get my chance! Whammo! Ka-POW! Thumpa thumpa THUMP! One Kung-Fu Master bites the sand, and it will RUIN your teeth, you know. -- Jeri Lough the Triumphant Wow, that Venomous Concubine just TOTALLY does not take a joke! -- Orverd Quill Isn't it strange? When one least expects it, M. Chardinee comes along and is a perfect gentleman. I didn't know that was in his job description. -- Elinde Goss Geroge Maloth, Captured Orc -- Yeah, right. They all say that. -- Gerdig Ibbins Oskan Steeltooth of Khalhums -- Well... it depends on how you define "have my wicked way with you," doesn't it? Let's negotiate this. -- Elinde Goss Our congratulations to Gretzky. -- Jorja and the Middle Way Clank -- That was uncalled-for! That was rude, cruel, and brutal! You're a cad! -- Oh-John, Persistent (and Resurrected) Beggar Elinde Goss -- I enjoy the earnest way you plan out your "narrow" victories, young lady. The way you wrinkle your nose (very fetching), and stick the tip of your tongue out. I will confess that it inspires me to non-gladiatorial concepts. -- M. Tolovi Chardinee Orverd Quill -- You beast! Of course *I* am slim, but a slim VICTORY always results in chipping my nail polish. This is unacceptable, and I shall demonstrate to you EXACTLY how you are to yield in a LARGE and GENEROUS fashion in the future. -- Devrie Scatha, Concubine Out of Favor Jeri Lough -- Ah! You have been studying, Grasshopper. This is good. -- Master Fu Toledo, Expert of Esoteric Martial Arts and Flower Arranging 6 September 2007 ****************************************** ****************************************** ***** ******* ***** STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 3 ******* ***** ******* ****************************************** ****************************************** 15 managers have announced for the Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse!!!!!!
