Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave ARENA FELINES a 0-0-0! 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, WILD OATS' 2nd moved them up to 4-1-0 place. What's with QUALIX? He actually beat CULTS-R-US' WACKY WACO WONK, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight. Major screwup at CASTLE. JEEZUS FREAK lost 10 points to MISSY MOSSY. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe JEEZUS FREAK will provide more easy wins... Har har har! Did CROWN ROYAL wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for DREAMERS' outstanding member, Duelmaster LEIBNIZ. 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... How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, SWEET MAGIC! In my day, no team with a 453-769-13 would scare me off! What's the problem, STEEL THUNDER? What do people see in MADAM Y? Hers 4-4-0? CULTS-R-US ain't talkin', but she's got 25 points. Keep challenging up 28 points, HURRICANE, and I won't have to write about you much longer. HUME always accepts those kind of challenges... HURRICANE found one way to advance: challenging HUME and losing, but getting 6 points. No brain, no pain. A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note! Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.

How you doin, chum? T'warn't personal. -- Mangy Polecat Ironstorm -- Now ain't dat somp'n? I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. But I did see it. I was there. But that just shouldn'ta oughtn'ta happen, but it did. So, who'm I gonna believe, me or my own eyes. -- Ugly Eddie P.S. If this means what it might mean, it means my life-style is really gonna take a hit...ugly-wise that is Tyger -- Well pimp my primp. -- Missy Mossy Ranfnagud -- I finally ran you to ground. Good fight. -- Dexter Robespierre -- Hokey Smoke, what a fight! Don't sweat the crowd's booing. They were not realizing what they were seeing and probably wouldn't appreciate it if they had. They just see us standing there, I see us taking each other's measure. Let me find my dueling duds and we'll duel it out once again. -- Krankykarl Crown Royal -- Little bitty thing, aren't you? I've seen Shewish children taller. -- Tala Gog P.S. I didn't mind spending a few days in the Infirmary. It's actually quieter there than our guildhouse. P.P.S. And it gave me a chance to celebrate privately. Aristocrat Vodka -- Well, at least it's YOUR mouth that will taste like the bottom of a birdcage today. (shudder) Been there, don't want to go again. -- Sweet Betsey Sister Q -- Tell me your name isn't Susie. That would be the uttermost end. -- Tariliss P.S. Odd, when you consider it was my teammates who fought the hard liquor and it's ME who has the hangover.... Madam Y -- Somebody hates you. Or is jealous, which is very nearly the same thing. A matchup that rotten COULD be chance, but then again... I figure somebody probably hates you. -- Winter Shadows P.S. Black velvet and diamonds is the stuff to give the troops. Wow 'em. Exotic and mysterious, you know? It works. Kill Bill -- Why would I want to do that? I don't KNOW any bills, except the ones that come in the mail every month. -- Marvanella Jondeaux -- Tala Gog is 11-10-10-11-17-12-13, with Coolness her main strength-- Oh, you want her PHYSICAL stats? Well, how about 11-11-18-13-13-9-9. A plunger, does great damage. One ratting, a master in initiative. Long Spear (never tried it). Very low/moderate. Bleh. She says she's going to start a boarding house here in Riztab, and I'm sure she'll do very well at it. Better than in the arena. 17-49? Not one of our greatest gladiators. -- Jorja Our congratulations to Alex Schimmelfennig. -- Sweet Magic Mangy Polecat -- (nasty smile) Overconfidence goes before a fall. Bwahaha. -- Demron the Dark 20 April 2007 All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The Saint, keeper of lists LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ZOMBIE was viciously butchered by HEZDLAT THE GIANT in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
