So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the difference, as CHURCH LADIES is pushed out of top team by BEACH BABES, who came from 4th with a 4-1-0 this turn. BEACH BABES stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys! And let's see, SLAMMER fought OGRESMASHER and gained 28 points and contributed to AMEN!'s 1-1-1. MARGO has lost to CRASH, falling 8 points, while helping make CHURCH LADIES a 0-4-0 turn. MOSES challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone BRUTAL LEGION's warrior. Defending his title for another turn, FATALITY kept AMEN!'s warrior, MOSES, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Welcome Wench uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. WESTNMAFIA has cause to stand tall, as they were BONSUR's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided WESTNMAFIA stable the most? Believe it or not, it was SENTINELS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was AMEN!'s warrior SLAMMER. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Banners at half mast, warriors, SENTINELS has lost OGRESMASHER, and you might say all of BONSUR has felt the loss, except maybe AMEN!. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FATALITY 5820 14 3 0 124 BRUTAL LEGION (549) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SLAMMER 2726 14 12 3 118 AMEN!

Orcs are, well, not always pleasant. But who wouldn't want a good old fashioned caveman at a party? Our knuckles really don't drag, at least as long as we get a good night's sleep. And the unibrow? That has been out of style for several generations--you are still working from old stereotypes. As for my fighting, well, not so good. That was orcish. -- Neanderthal the non-Orc Pensacolita -- There is nothing wrong with moderation. One must simply know in what to be moderate--it allows the opportunity to also then choose in what to be immoderate. While moderation in all things may lead to a boring cabana, a lack of moderation in all things is unlikely to leave you in a position to host the next party. And that is a situation to be avoided. -- Ogresmasher Fatality -- Who says Duelmasters is a popularity contest? -- Slammer Obrojobo -- These swords are flimsy, aren't they? Too bad they don't come with a warranty. If you don't mind, I could use the scrap metal. I'm building an abstract sculpture of a burning bush. -- Moses P.S. How is Huntsman, anyway? I may have to pay him a visit if I ever get out of this place. Artis -- That must be some church! -- Long Beach Lila Moses -- You could at LEAST pull me out of the water after all that. -- Pensacolita Neanderthal -- It seems odd that you're an elf. Or at least they claim you're an elf. Can I take your helm off and check your ears? -- N'Orleans Nora P.S. Pointed ears are sexy, you know. Crash -- Wow, I DID. -- Palmetta Patty Debbie -- I guess I'm lucky I survived that, huh? But you didn't have to throw in the towel quite so vigorously. -- Teri Towyl Ogresmasher -- Quite right. It's hard to give up a good joke--do you know how few there ARE in the arena system as a whole? But fifty-nine times is enough. We'll just love you for your self alone. -- the Beach Babes Our congratulations to tourney victors Zero, Maca-Raunchy Salad, Tasty Hangnail, and Fatality. -- Jorja and the Beach Babes LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS KROMER BANE was barely slain by BUTTERCUP in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight.
