Sure, I know that deadbeats have held the title before, but there's such a thing as the Commission and especially the fans getting fed up. Although I realize it wasn't entirely your fault, thus the generosity with skills. Anvil SPY REPORT The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DULLENS, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! HOUSE OF CARDS? Who? CARDOW HUNTERS is the top team these days, buddies! BLACKTHORNE had cause to celebrate, after CORKY got 17 points by beating WOLFDOG. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 15 points to CORKY. (Discrete enough, WOLFDOG?) Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by UNEXPECTED SEQUEL, of HARRY POTTER AND THE, who despite a 9-11-1 couldn't overcome DULLENS' Number 1. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... So much to report, so little time! Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! ANVIL of CARDOW HUNTERS sends UNEXPECTED SEQUEL of HARRY POTTER AND THE goes to the Weary Warrior's Retirement Home. DULLENS has no place for weaklings! Death in the arena! In a cheap quest for a cheap victory, ANVIL faced UNEXPECTED SEQUEL in an uneven fight. HARRY POTTER AND THE, we expect bloody revenge! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in DULLENS would I avoid! Do not think spyreporting in DULLENS is the highlight of my life. As the seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DULLENS farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ANVIL 5373 15 48 2 116 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GEMMA 5356 15 5 1 90 HOUSE OF CARDS (561) -SEGUE 5394 12 8 0 84 HOUSE OF CARDS (561) BEARFOOT 5419 19 12 0 78 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -FATHER OF FOUR 5366 13 2 0 72 HOUSE OF CARDS (561) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LAUGHTER REDKNIFE 5462 7 3 0 65 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CORKY 5470 5 2 0 53 BLACKTHORNE (580) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WOLFDOG 5461 6 5 1 32 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLACKBUCK 5474 2 3 0 19 CARDOW HUNTERS (445) -PONDERING ANGYL 5463 1 1 0 8 KAOS (579) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

At least, I don't think you were supposed to do that. -- Bearfoot P.S. Though it worked. I chop the Teddy Bear of Death into scraps and I *laugh*! -- Laughter Redknife Corky -- I'd've liked it better if you were female. Do you think you could manage that? -- Wolfdog The Cranky Old Coot's an idiot, but I guess he's MY idiot. -- Blackbuck LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ANVIL delivered the death blow upon UNEXPECTED SEQUEL in a 1 minute Title fight.
