I doubt many are quaking in their boots, but DOWN WITH THE SHIP comes out of nowhere to get 4-1-1. What does the future hold? Watch this space... DOWN WITH THE SHIP had cause to celebrate, after NEMO got 13 points by beating CONVICTED THIEF. WOODWALKER successfully staved off a grab for the roses by KHALHUMS DWARF of MALCORN. Does MALCORN have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... And how sociable are MALCORN's warriors? Come, let us see. Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in MALCORN would I avoid! Do not think spyreporting in MALCORN 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. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for MALCORN?

Do you have more fun? I've HEARD that blondes only have more fun in the summer, and that in the winter the brunettes get it all. Which doesn't leave much for us redheads. Unless...ah, of course! WE get spring and autumn! Great. -- Falling Rain Little Current -- Ah! Whatever kind of current you are, electrical or hydraulic, I seem to have--for the moment--your number. A pleasant event, doubly so because it isn't all that common. -- Woodwalker M. Chardinee was really stingy, taking both the win AND any skills going. Sure, his style is very foreign to mine, but still, I could have learned SOMETHING if he'd at least TRIED to teach me. -- Greengrove Mortikhan -- Sorry to be so rough with you, but that "horrifying power" shook me up. Not to mention damned near breaking my leg with it. So I got mad, always a mistake in a fight, though it sometimes works out okay. I'm glad we both survived that. -- Stalking Horse Mordant Deserter -- Ha, I'll bet you're actually a SPY. -- Wooden Arrow Mortickhan -- I'm not a horse! You're confusing me with the warriors of Triple Crown. -- Wooden Arrow P.S. Why not a wooden arrow? What else would arrows be made from? I've heard of some made out of reed, but any reed up to the job is pretty much wooden anyway. P.P.S. What's titanium? Phantom Lord -- I'll pass. Jorja doesn't like us going out at night. She says we just get into trouble. Congratulations to Little Current on graduating. -- everybody at Greenwardens Greengrove -- You are a lout, young man. You lack any understanding of the arts of civilized concourse. Meditate on your many sins and then meet me again and we will see. -- M. Finnian Chardinee 20 September 2004 Azereth has returned! I am the manager for Scarlet Blades in DM 25. I was a member of the Crimson Alliance and the Crimson Brotherhood (which was composed of former CA members). I've been out of the game for many (at least 5) years. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers me, as well as any Alliance that is seeking to add experienced managers to their roster. Contact me at: Anthony Wells 600 W. Shore Dr. Stanton, MI 48888 or by personal ads in DM 25. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS WOODWALKER viciously subdued KHALHUMS DWARF in a 2 minute master's Title fight.
