So I'm back, but you guys are not chatting! Other than the Greenwardens, no personal ads. No chit chat... But then again, Crucial Taunt showed up off of inactivity and hit 5 awards to get a free turn. Pretty cool accomplishment, and welcome back. Looks like you were last active here a long time ago. It also seems very likely that Deathstalker and I will fight next turn, as he's the only Champion. Good luck, young fellow! I'm probably 5-6 turns away from managing an early graduation, so it may be a while and you may have had more than enough of me by the time I go. Fortunately, I'm a benevolent Duelmaster, and drinks are on me at the local taverns tonight! I have very little to add, so I wish you all luck, just not as much luck as I have! Lucky Devil Duelmaster SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, MALCORN? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, GREENWARDENS, since CRUCIAL TAUNT took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see OGRE win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, OGRE beat BLACKOAK and BLACKOAK lost 7 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, LUCK DEVIL has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as DEATHSTALKER takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, MALCORN? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. What does the MALCORN arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Hail all in Malcorn! We are back in Malcorn and glad to be back. May the best warrior win and see you on the sands! - Crucial Taunt warriors Luck Devil -- My name was a typo also but I don't think it was LUCKY for me, hehe. -- Ogre Luck Devil -- Hopefully in a few turns I will be able to challenge you for the title. -- Deathstalker Someday, I'd like to see an overview that says, "X has a common style, well understood by all," or the like. Just for the change of it. -- Jorja P.S. Okay, it would probably herald a less-than-optimal warrior, but given that we just went 1-4 today, would we even notice the lack of pizzaz? Deathstalker -- The Audobon Society will be calling on you. -- Wren We should rid ourselves of these Kung-Fu Masters. Going on about how it's "kinder" not to use weapons. Bah! Convincians! Sneaky buggers. Probably secret assassins. -- Blackoak Strangley enough, the Karnhorn Spy is a Karnhorn, though he claims he isn't a spy but just a simple traveling trader. Like I'm going to believe that? -- Badger Ogre -- I expected someone more... intimidating. -- Little Biter Sabbath -- Today? I thought this was... Tuesday? -- Treeshadow P.S. I am NOT a dwarf, dammit! ALL -- MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL IN ALASTARI!!! May your year end in peace and the new year hold great things for you and your families. -- Gentleben (Sunset-21, Morya-28, Arvat-32 and Talahya-100) LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DEATHSTALKER was unbelievably bested by KHALHUMS DWARF in a 2 minute Title fight. BADGER devastated THE USEROUS MERCHANT in a 1 minute one-sided duel. BLACKOAK was handily defeated by OGRE in a 1 minute one-sided match. WREN vanquished AMBITIOUS GUARD in a 1 minute mismatched brawl. ERIC defeated LITTLE BITER in a exciting 3 minute fight. SARA viciously subdued TREESHADOW in a action packed 3 minute gory brawl. SABBATH devastated CONVICTED THIEF in a 1 minute mismatched match.
