Manager's Dead Superior Forces and Alfredo Frothingslosh's Wish You Were Beer in second and third places respectively both scored big with 6 bottles each. But that didn't phase our contest leader Ichabod Frothingslosh and his Call to Thunder as he scored 7 bottles with the Duelmaster, a stylemaster, and four wins, adding to his lead by one more bottle. Despite a 6-bottle lead with only 9 more bottles to go, Ichabod has reason to be nervous because his Duelmaster and his stylemaster have both been invited to Advanced Duelmasters, and it looks like Manager has a very good chance of inheriting both of those spots. Ichabod will probably need to score those 9 bottles in the next two turns in order to hold Manager off. Also of note, Ebenezer Frothingslosh's Flower Children scored 6 bottles to pull into a tie for fourth place with the inactive Hogan's Heroes. Guido W K SM DM MP LP TV TC DA TOT 1.

Ichabod Frothingslosh's Call to Thunder has a 6-bottle lead in the contest now only needing 5 more bottles to win. He scored 4 bottles with three wins and his new basher stylemaster Yakomo No Oni. Alfredo Frothingslosh, our winner from last contest, pulled into second place on the strength of his 6-bottle turn with 3 wins and 3 stylemasters. Alfredo now has a slim 1-bottle lead over Manager's Dead Superior Forces, who had a rather forgettable performance this turn. The recognition point tie between Tenacious and Retarded RV left the Duelmaster's throne open, plus Manager only managed two wins in addition to his two stylemasters. That gave Manager a 4-bottle turn when he desperately needed to make a significant move. Alfredo and his three current styelmasters now seems to be the man for Ichabod to watch out for, but with Ichabod only needing 5 more bottles to win there might not be enough time for Alfredo to catch up. Also of note this turn, Chazz Frothingslosh's Spare-a-dime Shift had a perfect 5-0 turn to pull them into a tie for fourth place with Ebenezer Frothingslosh's Flower Children, so now Sloshers hold 4 of the top 5 spots. I also wanted to give my hearty congratulations to Surfer Sam who managed 4 wins this turn after having gone 0-10 the previous two turns. Good job, Sam! I knew you could do it.

SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly BONSUR games. Former top team WISH YOU WERE BEER was unseated this week as SPARE-A-DIME SHIFT moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at THE BEARS II's guildhouse after a 0-2-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 20th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week BEACH BABES went 1-4-0 to move up 6 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record which FLOWER CHILDREN managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! SATOSHI KUNO caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested <BOTTLE DRINKER> and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ALEAN TENSLAYER put down BUBBA, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail TENACIOUS, Duelmaster of BONSUR! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in BONSUR these days is DEAD SUPERIOR FORCES. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding DEAD SUPERIOR FORCES. Indeed it was WISH YOU WERE BEER. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after ADAM. Watch your back! For some warriors honor is not important--only empty victory. See, gladiators, how CRIMSON BLUSH of VENGEANCE SEEKERS challenged down 20 points to ALOHA ALICE. Few would not have guessed the outcome of the bout as ALOHA ALICE was beat by CRIMSON BLUSH. Is this what passes for courage in BONSUR? As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of fear lays hold of hers heart. True, FATIMA YECHBURGH? Who could miss your "brave" challenge of JERICO? An upset indeed! FATIMA YECHBURGH found sheself outmatched as her was overcame by JERICO. There is no place left further down for FATIMA YECHBURGH but the burial mound! Give RED NO. 40 credit for its courage. Did you note how it challenged JAKUCHU ITO despite the 40 point difference in their rankings? In the end RED NO. 40 was overcame by JAKUCHU ITO, a "sharp" reminder that higher recognition is an indication of greater skill. Still, it was a worthy bout! MATSU must really be harboring a grudge against the BEACH BABES guild! Merciless, 22 challenged down SANDBAR SALLY points this week to duel with she. All the city knows the duel went in favor of MATSU. I shall not fail to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Strange what qualities come forth in the face of certain doom. MELANCHOLY has the town astir with the news of hers Dark Arena victory! I must report the passing of TIMMY, veteran of many duels. 6-45-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. My sources at THRILLZ & KILLZ stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result of the untimely demise of WISKEY EYE. Beware RAISON D'ETRE! This week's duel proved deadly to WISKEY EYE as he fell to the more renowned warrior, RAISON D'ETRE. How will THRILLZ & KILLZ find revenge? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

With the fees the Gladiatorial Commission charges for new stables, I am relegated to scrounging up an old group of bums that were run outta here long ago. They called themselves the Dreaded 5, but from what I hear they should have gone with Dreadful 5. Only three of 'em left, so I'm on the lookout for a couple of good sword-arms. Once I get this motley bunch battle-worthy, I will turn them loose in this fine arena. Until then, farewell. -- Kayelbe, Mgr. Dreaded 5 Frothingsloshers -- Later, n' thanks fer da good contest. -- Applejack Bonsur -- I'm off to retirement. It's been fun. 11-12-8-17-9-10-17 AB, Master + 0 Attack, Ex + 3 Riposte, Ex +3 Decise. That's it. Low/Low Longsword were my faves. -- <Retarded RV> Alean Tenslayer -- Hmm, haven't seen YOU in a while. Good to have you--and I presume Andarus--back. -- Miamia Mia P.S. But you've forgotten what you know about dueling, apparently. Bad. Wiskey Eye -- Drunk and disorderly. -- Tallahasse Tina Tasty Hangnail -- I have never thought so. But it takes all kinds, I guess. -- Terri Towel Brew Ha Ha -- Haha! -- Aloha Alice P.S. Hey, I gotta take the wins and the gloats where I find them. Bombastic Bob -- Bomb's away.... -- Sandbar Sally Manager -- I passed you, I passed you. Nyaah nyaah nyaah!!! -- Alfredo Miami Mia -- Of course I learned all those skills off of you! I learn well off of everybody. After my fight with you I had an average skill learn of about 2.7 skills per attempt. Not bad for somebody that started off 2-7-0! -- Fatima Jerico -- HEY!!! I had never been blanked like that. A teacher you are not. -- Fatima Aloha Alice -- I almost had you, but I guess that was finally the turn for the Babes to win. -- Brew Ha Ha Surfer Sam -- Congrats on your 4-1! -- Alfredo Terri Towel -- The strategy changes definitely seemed to help. -- Alfredo Ichabod -- Good luck, brother. The rollup gods were good to you so hopefully you should be able to pull it out. However, if I can hold onto my three stylemasters it might be very close! -- Alfredo All -- After the contest is over there very well might be a Frothingslosh mass-exodus out of Bonsur. As a matter of fact, it looks like it has already started. However, if you wish to cross swords, we invite you to join the bloodfest that has started in the city or Aruak, DM 11. As of last turn there were 70 teams and that number is climbing. It looks as if Aruak will soon have over 100 teams! Come join in the fun. -- Alfredo Frothingslosh, speaking on behalf of the Frothingslosh Syndicate, host of the invasion 19 August 2003 Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari), no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening. While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City. Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they had masks, who cares. Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by pests. Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs. Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed. Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home. So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different.
