Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, SPRINGBORN, since THE FELLOWSHIP took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Now let's all watch THE MOONDOGS' heads swell from their 3-0-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as SIR PLUTZ takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. KOLACT, I am losing what little hope I had in you. SPRINGBORN the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was KING NIXON. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, Z was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. And we have MUTE SCREAM in a challenge, going down 10 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought MUTE SCREAM showed great skill and promise when he was bested by Z. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? There's got to be a better place in KOLACT to get a drink than Don Corleone's! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.

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.
