DM 62 VALAMANTIS (turn 461): ANGRY DECKHAND of DEATH MOB (Jakari, mgr.) SPY REPORT Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in BONSUR this turn, and let's start with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, KRONOS GRIMHOLT fought LITTLE VENUS and gained 19 points and contributed to SENTINELS' 4-1-0. LITTLE VENUS has lost to KRONOS GRIMHOLT, falling 5 points, while helping make BEACH BABES a 3-2-0 turn. Well done, BONSUR, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps CANDY CANE is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times. BALDASSARE challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone CHURCH LADIES' warrior. Defending hers title for another turn, CANDY CANE kept SENTINELS' warrior, BALDASSARE, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Swinging Aardvark uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the CHURCH LADIES stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on BONSUR, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided CHURCH LADIES stable the most? Believe it or not, it was SENTINELS. Anyone surprised? 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. PAULA must have surprised CHURCH LADIES this turn, after they sent her to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't hold her! A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. 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 CANDY CANE 5973 9 4 1 105 CHURCH LADIES (548) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PAULA 5923 15 5 2 94 CHURCH LADIES (548) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BALDASSARE 6003 10 4 0 89 SENTINELS (122) ROSE O' THE REEF 5956 14 15 0 86 BEACH BABES (309) EPEE MYSTIQUE 5953 17 14 0 82 SENTINELS (122) HIERONYMUS ZIGG 5986 12 6 1 77 SENTINELS (122) PALMETTA PATTY 5905 15 27 0 72 BEACH BABES (309) BIG BAD DADDY JR 5882 9 9 0 71 WESTNMAFIA (551) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SALTILLA 5996 10 5 1 60 BEACH BABES (309) KRONOS GRIMHOLT 6011 5 4 1 60 SENTINELS (122) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLUEBURN 6013 4 4 0 47 SENTINELS (122) LITTLE VENUS 5990 12 6 1 43 BEACH BABES (309) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHAOTIC DEATH 5978 3 17 0 26 DAYS OF OLD (561) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DEANNA DELITE 6016 3 1 0 21 BEACH BABES (309) -SCOOTER 5975 1 3 0 12 WESTNMAFIA (551) -FLOWER CHILD 5980 1 0 0 5 DAYS OF OLD (561) STONEWALL 6017 1 0 0 5 WESTNMAFIA (551) MARGO 6020 0 1 0 1 CHURCH LADIES (548) -LEFT LANE 5981 0 1 0 1 WESTNMAFIA (551) WHAT? 6002 0 1 0 1 WESTNMAFIA (551) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? SPYMASTER 0 0 0 DARK ARENA PAULA 5923 629 NONE PERSONAL ADS Daydream -- nice write up. Thanks. -- Day of old Deanna -- You lost to me? Time for you manager to send you to the DA. -- Chaotic Death Saltilla -- I've got standards so I'll stick with my team. -- Chaotic Death Candy Cane -- Congratulations on the title. I knew if we fought you would be tough, but I did not expect to be wiped out like that. Well done, Duelmistress. -- Hieronymus Zigg Rose -- You evidently did not lose enough sleep at that roadhouse with Blueburn. Still, that fight went better than I expected. I think, perhaps, I might even beat you next time we meet on the arena sands. Perhaps we shall have to discuss it over smash. But away from the Cabana if the lady is really in one of those moods. -- Epee Patty -- Oh, now that went very well. But I likely will now have to face the Christmas Candy. Hmmm... have you prepared me for that? -- Baldy Saltilla -- Not everything goes as planned. I'm really not as grim as my name would make it seem, but keep doing that and moods might change. -- Kronos Venus -- So close. So far. Ah heck, lets just go for close, shall we? -- Blueburn Church ladies -- What? Paula to the dark arena?! Is this how you treat those who win a lot in your church? I dread to even imagine what you do to those who lose! I hope that in removing the fifty duplicate copies of the personals above (Hal was in a snit, apparently) I didn't accidentally miss something that I should have left in. Baldassare -- That was amazingly well done. I guess that new batch of smash was the right stuff, eh? I'll admit I had my doubts when N'Orleans Nora suggested a "vee- eight" smash, but it WAS full of vitamins, you could tell, and didn't taste all that bad. Odd what works, isn't it? -- Palmetta Patty Epee Mystique -- I just never did go for that kind of thing, you know? To me, an epee looks like an extra-long knitting needle. I dunno what anyone would USE an extra-long knitting needle for. -- Rose o' the Reef Neck scarfs for mountains. Kronos Grimholt -- I'm not sure "grim" is called for, now that I give the matter thought. So time flies, why not? Let it go. There's always tomorrow, and if there isn't, we won't be around to notice. -- Saltilla Blueburn -- I think that may be the wrong shade of blue. Too much green in it, perhaps? And it's too intense. Something more of a powder blue would suit me better. -- Little Venus Chaotic Death -- Drat, you broke the string, we'd fought nothing but Sentinels up to you. And you insisted on winning, which I do NOT think you should do. It's better for your character to continue to lose. Teaches humility, you know? And speaking of teaching, only ONE skill for me? Stingy, aren't you? -- Deanna Delite Baldy -- How about oatmeal-raisin muffins with pecans? I was gifted with a bag of shelled pecans, and I want to use them wisely. -- Rose Kronos -- Yes, I expect my record to slip steadily as time goes on. It's a good thing I'm not conceited... about that, isn't it? -- Little Venus LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS PAULA viciously butchered SPYMASTER in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Dark Arena fight. BALDASSARE was savagely defeated by CANDY CANE in a 2 minute Challenge Title melee. HIERONYMUS ZIGG won victory over PALMETTA PATTY in a 3 minute Challenge brawl. EPEE MYSTIQUE devastated KUNG-FU MASTER in a exciting 3 minute bloody one-sided fight. BIG BAD DADDY JR was bested by ROSE O' THE REEF in a 2 minute veteran's duel. BLUEBURN devastated CHAOTIC DEATH in a 1 minute bloody mismatched match. SALTILLA overpowered AMBITIOUS GUARD in a 1 minute uneven melee. LITTLE VENUS was vanquished by KRONOS GRIMHOLT in a 1 minute uneven duel. DEANNA DELITE overpowered WHAT? in a 1 minute uneven duel. STONEWALL luckily beat MARGO in a action packed 4 minute gory novice's fight.
