I am amazed, Sir Cumference! I didn't realize I could dance that circle with you. Persea Quell P.S. If you will accept that I did not utter that tasteless jeer in the heat of the battle, I in turn shall accept that you did not scream so pitifully in the Infirmary. Let us make a pact to respect each other. SPY REPORT I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit the road, Debby Tonte. KOLACT needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Too bad, THE MOONDOGS, but THE ABYSMALS was just too good to be stopped. And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome SIR CUMFERENCE. Aren't SIR AGLIO proud. (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. Can THE MOONDOGS' ICARUS be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out GOLPE MORTAL challenged DEVIL GIRL. After all, haven't THE ABYSMALS and SPRINGBORN had a long standing duel in KOLACT? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but DEVIL GIRL wants me to write about it since she lost to GOLPE MORTAL. Satisfied? What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone gets killed. Not after four more fights. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do? Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? MOOR O'NDUL 5845 2 2 0 THE MOONDOGS 97 GOLPE MORTAL 5836 582 PERSONAL ADS Icarus -- It's been more than 10 years since I last stepped onto the arena sands. There's nothing greater than the roar of the crowd, though I need to recover before I can return again. It's not easy being an aging warrior. -- Hammer Moor O'Ndul -- Hmmmm, now that could be construed as an implied insult. -- C.O.C. Thiaoo Trigg -- Nice haul. Not a bad first fight. (could'a won) But as it is we're still shaking our pom-poms. "Live and fight!" -- Miss Agnus P.S. Good battle cry, really gets the blood flowing, but I still prefer "Luck and Skill!" Espinoso -- Have you heard? Don't let it get around but there are sand snakes, right here in the Kolact arena. Tread lightly, and keep your peepers peeled. (down, look down, they're not up here) -- Crazy Old Coot Nestor Ordh -- I'm for agree'n that's some pretty fancy footwork...you taking your act to the dance floor later? Maybe gives the kid a few pointers, maybe? -- Buffalo Bob Odioso -- I dispense the goods from afar. Devil powers. -- Devil Girl Miss Agnus -- Bad matchup for your first fight. You'll do better. -- Thiaoo Trigg Devil Girl -- You are possessed by something evil. -- Odioso Crazy Old Coot -- For an old guy, you're pretty good. -- Espinoso Moor O'Ndul -- I've figured it out. Kill, win, kill, win, kill, win. Yup, if I kill my opponent, I'm guaranteed a win. O.K., sounds easy enough. -- Golpe Mortal Convicted Thief -- You won't be robbing anybody anytime soon. -- Dawn Aranar Shuleszar of Xochithlan, Master of Kung-Fu -- Perhaps you should go back to Xochithlan, then, and teach Kung-Fu to those who would care to learn it. -- Cynica Buffalo Bob -- You dance well, but let's save it for the women, eh? We'd each dance more happily with a member of the opposite gender. -- Nestor Ordh Hammer -- Oh, gods, the Commissioners WILL do it. Six feet tall, but you have a beard, so you must be a dwarf. I'd protest to them if I were you. -- Icarus Gople Mortal -- (resentfully) Well, THAT was abysmal of you. Bad enough, but the worst part is that Jorja's GLAD. -- Ghost of Moor O'ndul Gople -- Of course I'm glad. Moor O'ndul was an amazingly weak-willed lackwit. -- Jorja Buffalo Bob -- This is true. We both need dancing lessons. For the rhythm, not to mention the blues. -- Nestor Ordh 23 October 2007 ****************************************** ****************************************** ***** ******* ***** STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 3 ******* ***** ******* ****************************************** ****************************************** 9 TEAM (18 MANAGERS) have declared for the STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 3!!!
