Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, SWEET MAGIC, since DREAMERS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this keeps up, SWEET MAGIC, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 4 in the rankings? Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, 4TH TIME AROUND, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see MUD MUD FROG win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MUD MUD FROG beat HELIODORUS and HELIODORUS lost 15 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, RIZTAB may be getting bland, as AESARA stays top dog in the city. 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. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? What does the RIZTAB arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AESARA 6986 14 3 0 124 DREAMERS (142) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KORYNN FROG 6954 7 1 0 104 KAOS FROGS (656) TAFFY 6941 17 28 0 93 SWEET MAGIC (267) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MUD MUD FROG 6953 9 7 0 86 KAOS FROGS (656) KANE TOAD 6853 7 2 0 79 KAOS FROGS (656) PROCLUS 6962 13 14 3 78 DREAMERS (142) NELLI POLITANA 6952 16 22 0 70 SWEET MAGIC (267) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HELIODORUS 6971 12 8 1 63 DREAMERS (142) TATUM 6978 12 11 0 58 BLUE NOTE (474) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AMMONIUS 6972 8 13 0 54 DREAMERS (142) CHARLENE 6992 10 7 1 46 SWEET MAGIC (267) SUGAR BABY 6983 6 15 0 42 SWEET MAGIC (267) ARIGNOTE 7035 2 2 0 38 DREAMERS (142) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MARTYR 7003 4 1 0 34 TORTURED (669) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BANJO MAN 7039 3 0 0 27 4TH TIME AROUND (670) COLTRANE 7034 3 0 0 24 BLUE NOTE (474) -EYE BREAKER 7015 2 0 1 24 4TH TIME AROUND (670) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GRUBSTAKER 7012 5 5 1 21 SWEET MAGIC (267) -HANGMAN 7011 3 1 0 21 TORTURED (669) GUM SPITTER 7018 3 0 0 15 4TH TIME AROUND (670) JAMAICAN RUM 7016 2 1 0 15 4TH TIME AROUND (670) FROG JOB 6979 0 1 0 7 KAOS FROGS (656) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Well, it could have been worse. LAST time was worse! Aesara defeated me "handily," which is okay, I didn't want to be duelmaster. I want to eat ice cream. Ice cream is GOOD. And Charlene got stuck in the mud, but we all suspected her of being a stick-in-the-mud, so that's no surprise, either! And Taffy "overpowered" Heliodorus--WE all think she's sweet on him. Ha. -- Nelli Politana, for Sweet Magic I am not! I mean, sure, he's tall and, um, good-looking, and, well, really manly- looking. I was just ADMIRING him. -- Taffy LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS BLOODY was butchered by GORASH THE ORC in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
