Lookit all of da wannabes down below me. Did any of yoos tink you'd see me in da title seat so soon? Of course not. Yoos are a bunch of soft type who tink they are better than us orcs. But yoos wrong. We orcs are true fighters. We orcs are too 'ard fer you types. Dat is why we orcs crush ya skulls like tissue paper. Or how Gutsag crushes a buffet. Hur hur hur. Sorry 'bout dat Gutsy. But ya do like ya buffets. Pitchfork Kid, I betcha mad as 'ell about losin' da title ta a lowly orc. Well yoos should blame da' commishun. Dey are da onez who allowed our fight ta happen. I avoided ya and wuz preparin' ta take out dat Punk Chilsner or Cutter Crites character. But dey didn't show. Maybe dey is getting' dolled up fer da Deth in Taxes tourney in a couple of weekz. But the way ya dropped, I tink I'll call ya da Pitch Forward Kid. Hur hur hur. I guess I need ta prepare fer my title defense. I wish dat Demon Talon guy wuz high enough. I enjoyed makin' em cry. I think I would like to git ma hands on dat Dingo McGee as well. He might be kinda fun. But 'e iz too low. Da same wit dat Ground Sheets. Eadskar sez she iz fun ta whip on. Torchbearer Tom is out. 'e is goin' ta da advance. Zest? Plym Muck Rock? Dey never show dez dayz. Grimm is a nice squishy dwarf. Dat could be fun. Dat iz, unless dem Born Loser guys don't show back up. I'm 'ard! Ded 'ard! -- Ded 'Ard Skullkrush SPY REPORT Much has changed in ARKERS since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Biff! Pow! ARKERS watched with glee as BLOODY HAND CLAN got knocked off top spot by GHOSTWALKERS 2! Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave FOREST GARDEN a 1-3-0! I got a good laugh out of it! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, NORTHERN BADLANDS' 3rd moved them up to 3-0-0 place. GHOSTWALKERS 2 showed ARKERS what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-1-0. What's with ZANY? She actually beat ARKERS' CIVILIZED CRIMINAL, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight. Major screwup at HOYT FOUNDATION. PARIS TROUT lost 13 points to DEFENSIVE LEE. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe PARIS TROUT will provide more easy wins... I can barely restrain my enthusiam for GHOSTWALKERS 2's outstanding member, Duelmaster REAPER. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners. Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team was HOYT FOUNDATION. In my day, no team with a 65-64-6 would scare me off! What's the problem, SMITHSONIAN? What do people see in EADSKAR DA'BAD? His 14-12-1? BLOODY HAND CLAN ain't talkin', but he's got 110 points. Fighting is a better craft than farming, THE GYPSY, but you have to pay your dues. Being challenged by ZEST, 34 points above you, is dues. ZEST beat THE GYPSY. Z GLADIATORZ calls this fighting? In my day... JHERI BLOOMERS expects the easy win by going 28 points down. LILIT will find this a hard lesson! I have to get this off my chest. What a low dog, JHERI BLOOMERS! It can't set itself up in a real match. I was sorry to see LILIT lose. HELGA LOARWEN of THE CHOSEN knows how to pick 'em. She challenged SITTING BULL of SMITHSONIAN who is up by 23. Now was this a wise move? HELGA LOARWEN perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she was subdued by SITTING BULL and ended up with 33 recognition points. There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? WINTER STEEL larned hers lesson (DELAYED taught it well), and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any BB PUBLIC TRANSIT members with the same gusto. MAGNETIC WOMBAT was plum wore out after GROUND SHEET pounded 'im silly in a Bloodfeud. UNLIKELY HEROES'll have to get a little better before going after GROUND SHEET again! How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? ARKERS is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME REAPER 5483 13 11 0 102 GHOSTWALKERS 2 (629) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ZEST 5224 33 10 1 116 Z GLADIATORZ (519) EADSKAR DA'BAD 5466 14 12 1 110 BLOODY HAND CLAN (626) -PUNK CHILSNER 5549 9 1 2 109 BORN LOSERS (634) -PLYMOUTH ROCK 5218 32 9 0 105 SMITHSONIAN (245) -CUTTER CRITES 5555 12 6 1 102 BORN LOSERS (634) MAYFLOWER 5235 25 13 0 98 SMITHSONIAN (245) -PITCHFORK KID 5377 11 7 0 98 PEASANT REBELLION (614) -THE SHRIEKER 5554 8 7 1 97 BORN LOSERS (634) GRIMM 5482 15 9 0 91 GHOSTWALKERS 2 (629) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GROUND SHEET 3725 14 9 2 89 BOOK OF THOMAS (411) THE GYPSY 5587 9 9 2 89 HOYT FOUNDATION (636) UGLY KIDD JOE 4942 15 7 1 88 NORTHERN BADLANDS (397) YRAH BANEWRECKER 5527 15 6 3 86 THE CHOSEN (613) ZIRCONIUM 5493 14 3 0 83 Z GLADIATORZ (519) -KYRON FLEMING 5545 10 3 1 80 BORN LOSERS (634) DED 'ARD SKULLKRUSH 5610 13 4 1 77 BLOODY HAND CLAN (626) -STANDING ROOM ONLY 5282 11 8 0 75 BB PUBLIC TRANSIT (604) -DINGO MCGEE 5384 18 18 1 73 STEEL PROPHETS (615) -ZOO 5236 16 18 0 70 Z GLADIATORZ (519) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -PUGACHEV 5379 10 9 0 66 PEASANT REBELLION (614) THE ANXIOUS MAN 5589 12 9 1 63 HOYT FOUNDATION (636) ETON THE STALWART 5496 15 9 0 61 THE CHOSEN (613) HALIN STORMBREAKER 5498 11 11 1 61 THE CHOSEN (613) DEFENSIVE LEE 4062 15 5 0 60 SERIOUS LEE (486) -DEMON TALON 5456 12 16 1 59 STEEL PROPHETS (615) MAQURO DOOMAXE 5634 7 7 0 59 BLOODY HAND CLAN (626) SITTING BULL 5638 8 4 0 57 SMITHSONIAN (245) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DELAYED 5640 9 5 0 56 BB PUBLIC TRANSIT (604) WINTER STEEL 5633 9 5 4 55 THE CHOSEN (613) HUMBLE LEE 4061 8 10 0 53 SERIOUS LEE (486) PARIS TROUT 5591 11 11 0 52 HOYT FOUNDATION (636) GUTSAG BAKWORT 5500 14 9 0 51 BLOODY HAND CLAN (626) ZANY 5653 5 3 0 46 Z GLADIATORZ (519) -BREAK DOWN 5618 8 7 0 44 BB PUBLIC TRANSIT (604) BARON VON SMASH 5071 5 4 1 41 NORTHERN BADLANDS (397) MAYMES 5660 6 4 0 39 LITTLE DUCKS (640) -THUNDER SPRITE 5658 6 3 0 36 STEEL PROPHETS (615) STEEL 5713 5 0 1 35 GHOSTWALKERS 2 (629) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JHERI BLOOMERS 5643 7 6 0 33 HOYT FOUNDATION (636) HELGA LOARWEN 5632 6 9 1 33 THE CHOSEN (613) -BOSTON TEA PARTY 5706 5 0 1 33 SMITHSONIAN (245) -ZIP IT 5537 5 4 0 31 Z GLADIATORZ (519) JROSE 5661 4 6 0 31 LITTLE DUCKS (640) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AMAZON QUEEN 5629 3 5 0 26 THE TRAVELERS (639) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MAJOR BOO-BOO 5743 2 0 0 23 GHOSTWALKERS 2 (629) MAGNETIC WOMBAT 5584 1 1 1 23 UNLIKELY HEROES (635) LORD SHADOW 5627 3 5 0 20 THE TRAVELERS (639) KARELA 5719 2 2 0 20 GHOSTWALKERS 2 (629) DOJES 5662 4 6 0 18 LITTLE DUCKS (640) KORSEN 5663 3 7 0 18 LITTLE DUCKS (640) -CRUEL LEE 5676 3 1 1 17 SERIOUS LEE (486) -DOOM GROOVER 5667 4 4 0 16 STEEL PROPHETS (615) THE DEALER 5685 3 3 0 15 HOYT FOUNDATION (636) LADY SMOKE 5665 1 1 0 15 THE TRAVELERS (639) WAY JOURNER 5692 3 0 0 14 FOREST GARDEN (642) LEAFY THE PRUNE 5693 2 1 0 13 FOREST GARDEN (642) MAUD STONEGUT 5721 1 2 0 13 BLOODY HAND CLAN (626) DARK LADY RAIN 5747 1 0 0 10 NORTHERN BADLANDS (397) -CORRECT CHANGE 5720 1 1 0 8 BB PUBLIC TRANSIT (604) MIST WIND RAIN 5690 2 1 0 7 FOREST GARDEN (642) ALAMARAYANE 5652 0 4 0 4 THE TRAVELERS (639) MASON-DIXON 5722 0 3 0 3 SMITHSONIAN (245) LILIT 5735 0 2 0 2 LITTLE DUCKS (640) BABBLING BROOK 5728 0 1 0 1 FOREST GARDEN (642) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
