He who laughs last didn't get the joke. Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe FEARSOME FIVESOME. Last week they got 0-0-0 to drop by 4! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as MANAGERY can attest... THE FELLOWSHIP had cause to celebrate, after Z got 17 points by beating CUTTHROAT. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 8 points to TREEBEARD. (Discrete enough, ESTRELLA?) WOLFRAVEN successfully staved off a grab for the roses by QAEDA, AL of QUBIT. Does KOLACT have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. And how sociable are KOLACT's warriors? Come, let us see. Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in KOLACT avoid SIR AGLIO. The warriors of SIR AGLIO found their efforts at combat frustrated as KING NIXON apparently had more important things to do than fight. Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and CUTTHROAT is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't THUNDERSTRIKERS proud! Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Z of THE FELLOWSHIP sends CUTTHROAT of THUNDERSTRIKERS goes to the Weary Warrior's Retirement Home. KOLACT has no place for weaklings! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee. Do not think spyreporting in KOLACT is the highlight of my life. More important duties call me. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid KOLACT farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WOLFRAVEN 5474 18 12 2 132 CLAN BATTLEAXE (197) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME IVAN MASHMINAPLP 5513 16 10 1 107 SPRINGBORN (358) MUTE SCREAM 5542 13 9 3 103 KING NIXON (522) SIR PLUTZ 5207 19 30 2 99 SIR AGLIO (296) QUADRICEPS 5326 22 20 1 95 QUBIT (464) Z 5576 9 3 3 93 THE FELLOWSHIP (523) QAEDA, AL 5302 18 21 1 91 QUBIT (464) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SIR REALISTIC 5552 10 7 1 83 SIR AGLIO (296) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -WATSON 5091 6 1 0 66 FEARSOME FIVESOME (415) SYD TUBULAR 5689 5 0 0 66 SPRINGBORN (358) GUTBOY FISHFOOT 5543 16 6 0 64 KING NIXON (522) SIR DA 5586 8 6 1 60 SIR AGLIO (296) SLIME GIGGLE 5540 11 11 0 59 KING NIXON (522) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TOUDSHY 5187 4 3 0 51 WAY OF THE SWORD C3 (490) -SIR BROKE STROKER 5623 4 0 0 50 SIR AGLIO (296) MELODY 5674 6 2 0 44 SPRINGBORN (358) -HOGAN 4191 4 0 0 43 FEARSOME FIVESOME (415) TREEBEARD 5631 8 2 1 37 THE FELLOWSHIP (523) -HOOKFANG 5514 7 12 0 34 THUNDERSTRIKERS (220) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ACTAON 5648 6 5 0 32 THE MOONDOGS (97) WATER BUG 5706 3 0 0 32 MANAGERY (524) BLIND SOLACE 5685 6 0 0 25 KING NIXON (522) -QUIP 5668 2 0 0 25 QUBIT (464) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SASQUACH 5593 5 7 1 24 MANAGERY (524) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KRANKY KARL 5673 4 4 1 22 SPRINGBORN (358) -COUPLES 4193 4 2 0 22 FEARSOME FIVESOME (415) -ZOMANY 5190 3 1 0 22 WAY OF THE SWORD C3 (490) ESTRELLA 5681 2 4 0 18 THE MOONDOGS (97) -SUAVE 5183 2 0 2 16 ALASTARIAN IDOL (489) TOAD 5705 2 1 1 16 MANAGERY (524) BUTTERBUR 5680 3 3 1 14 THE FELLOWSHIP (523) CRAWLER 5709 1 1 0 14 THUNDERSTRIKERS (220) DEAGOL 5665 3 4 0 13 THE FELLOWSHIP (523) FRODO 5686 3 2 0 12 THE FELLOWSHIP (523) -MICKELSON 5637 1 0 0 12 FEARSOME FIVESOME (415) -KITE 5682 1 3 0 9 FEARSOME FIVESOME (415) MOONDAY 5687 1 5 0 8 THE MOONDOGS (97) -SIR VO 5645 1 1 0 8 SIR AGLIO (296) -SAVAGE FORCE 5704 2 1 0 7 THUNDERSTRIKERS (220) -MOOSE 5656 1 4 0 7 MANAGERY (524) SMOKE 5690 1 3 0 6 MANAGERY (524) -TAKE KO, TORA 5647 1 3 0 6 THUNDERSTRIKERS (220) -SKEL'RAN 5556 1 2 0 5 CLAN BATTLEAXE (197) LED CHIM CHIM 5710 0 2 0 2 KING NIXON (522) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

(too much comet gazing) -- Melody Actaon -- Whatta dilemma. Being "overcome" makes me very kranky. And I likes being kranky. -- Karl P.S. ...what was that? Kranky Karl the Krank. Very funny, I'm quite lucid you know. Treebeard -- I expected the tree... and the beard. But somehow you're not what I expected. -- Syd Sir Plutz -- And here I thought I was the grand-old-man of the arena. I'm a spring chicken in comparison. New lease on life extravaganza. -- Ivan Mashminaplp Kranky Karl -- Would it help if we fed you? That's what we do with Sue when she's cranky. That, and sometimes force her to take a nap, as well. -- Actaon Sasquach -- And I see that YOU are cranky, too. Darn. -- Moonday Savage Force -- Sometimes subtle beauty, represented by me, is superior. -- Estrella Melody -- Are those bells on the kazoos or the washboard? -- Inquiring Minds want to know! Wolfraven -- (from 2 turns ago) Your style advantage (AB) over me (LU) was just too much to overcome. -- Sir Plutz, aptly named Zeus -- Belated apologies for beheading Shadow Mist. -- Sultan, for Sir Da Ivan Mash -- Learns like that should be taxed! -- Sir Plutz Cutthroat -- Didn't take you long to exercise the revenge. Well done. -- Sir Da GC -- I personally feel you all should let me graduate. After all, I'm a lunger with 48 arena fights and 53 fight equivalent, AND...let's not forget...1 expert...in Attack, no less! -- Sir Plutz, over/under achiever What's in it for us? -- anonymous spokesbeing for the GC 27 June 2005 ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE: For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them), you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance, Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever- more-complicated lists 29 Jun 2005 The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
