Ruthless, that's what I call handsome! I don't know how it happened, don't know if I could ever do it again, but what a fight! I'm simply thrilled, and I hope you enjoy your stay on the Isle of the Eye. Not much room to run there, and I suspect that could be hard on a horse, but still, if you live up to your namesake, you'll find something. May there be good going ahead for you, old friend. Woodwalker SPY REPORT Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for MALCORN. Too bad, TRIPLE CROWN, but GREENWARDENS was just too good to be stopped. Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think WOODWALKER should let LITTLE CURRENT be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos. So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? Like, is FALLING RAIN popular, or what? She was challenged the most in all of MALCORN! She's got a 2-1-0, is that good? For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out WILL ING challenged FALLING RAIN. After all, haven't FUNKY FOLK and GREENWARDENS had a long standing duel in MALCORN? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but FALLING RAIN wants me to write about it since she was bested by WILL ING. Satisfied? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All MALCORN ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. WOODWALKER bloodfeuded (is that a word?) LITTLE CURRENT for revenge over some guy's bad fortune. Was it really worth it? 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 gotta leave. MALCORN is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? STORMCLOUD 4379 17 34 0 GREENWARDENS 244 LITTLE CURRENT 4371 491 JUST REV PERSONAL ADS Charismatic -- Is there something in the air today that causes problems for horses? Some kind of pollen, maybe? Are they defoliating the cotton in the field behind your stable? Whatever, *I* enjoyed that fight. -- Greengrove Battery -- Assault and. Ouch! -- Stalking Horse, now more of a limping horse Phantom Lord -- Well, I know that some people can only be shot with wooden arrows, just like some can only be shot with silver. You're definitely not on the "wooden" list. -- Wooden Arrow Will Ing -- Short for Willa or maybe Willhemina? Tough luck on the weapon, but 'spect you'll be doing better--for you, worse for me--next time we meet. -- Falling Rain Wooden Arrow -- I've picked up an old saying since I've been in your world, if you wanted to know my mission, I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you. I don't think we want that, seeing Phantom Lord wouldn't have any one else to play with. Although I must admit, I find it slightly difficult to keep under wraps, knowing there is a very curious Wooden Arrow out there. But you are just a mere horse, are you not? One who "plainly" walks? And all this time, I thought you shape changed! Why a "Wooden" Arrow, I dont know, I would have chosen titanium... -- Mortikhan Wooden Arrow -- I'm sure my manager doesnt hate me. He tells me that he wants me to meet his friends in the Dark Arena or something like that. Sounds fun! Want to come along? -- Phantom Lord Mortikhan -- Tsk, tsk. We do not share our studies with our subjects! If I find that any info has leaked, you'll find yourself "plane" walking, right into a black hole,... never to return! -- Burk the cyborg Hail to the Duelmaster Woodwalker! -- Triple Crown The Governator -- You can come out of your hole now. Ruthless has graduated. -- Triple Crown Greenwardens -- Thank you. -- Ruthless, yet appreciative Stalking Horse -- Very clever indeed. Too bad Green grove didn't follow your lead. -- Charismatic Funky Folk -- Rough first turn. Going for that star team? -- Sultan, mgr. of Triple Crown 24 August 2004 Invitation to Newbie Managers by Hammer As a Captain of the Vendetta Cartel, Hammer has recently dissolved the Vendetta Cartel Crimson Ascension Family.
