So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the difference, as WEIRD ALCHEMY is pushed out of top team by Z GLADIATORZ, who came from 6th with a 5-0-0 this turn. Z GLADIATORZ stable has parlayed this turn's 5-0-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys! The BLOODY HAND CLAN guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. PUGACHEV has lost to LUCKY STRIKES, falling 10 points, while helping make PEASANT REBELLION a 2-2-0 turn. Well done, ARKERS, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps CLYDE D'CLUB is not as thrilled, being challenged 4 times. CYCLOTUBULUS challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone PEASANT REBELLION's warrior. Defending his title for another turn, CLYDE D'CLUB kept WEIRD ALCHEMY's warrior, CYCLOTUBULUS, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Swinging Aardvark? 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 WEIRD ALCHEMY stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ARKERS, what are you afraid of? And avoiding WEIRD ALCHEMY more than any other team we find Z GLADIATORZ. ARKERS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? RIA THE CARESSER from THE CHOSEN took a risk this turn by bravely challenging up 38 points in a challenge against TORCHBEARER TOM. Well, RIA THE CARESSER was overcame by TORCHBEARER TOM, but RIA THE CARESSER gained 2 in recognition for hers efforts. Thank goodness for small favors. In a brave attempt, BLUE FLAK from STEEL PROPHETS challenged up 18 points to fight IMERTA LOEL from the MIDDLE WAY 11 stable. BLUE FLAK perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he won victory over IMERTA LOEL and ended up with 88 recognition points. 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. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare to fight bravely. Always good to rest in ARKERS, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns.
