Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. JLG? Who? PUNNY AMINALS is the top team these days, buddies! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as MAXIMUM RESULTS can attest... Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but PUNNY AMINALS will tell you 537-743-18 is nothing to laugh at... Practice pays for RE-PETE, who pummelled 25RTS, to pocket 13 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 10 points to RE-PETE. (Discrete enough, 25RTS?) Like a flirtacious debutante, WILLAF's Duelmaster BEAUFORT found himself the man of the hour, being "invited to dance" 2 times! You could cut the tension with a scimitar as GOLDEN DOME of GOLDEN GLADIATORS met the Duelmaster. Now I can't insult GOLDEN DOME, as it has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in WILLAF is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life! So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of MAXIMUM RESULTS should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of MAXIMUM RESULTS found their efforts at combat frustrated as NOBLE ON FIRE apparently had more important things to do than fight. Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in WILLAF would I avoid! All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GOLDEN DOME 5634 17 6 0 105 GOLDEN GLADIATORS (362) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BEAUFORT 3312 10 11 2 98 ROSE NOBLES (335) CHAUNCY 5636 24 15 1 95 PUNNY AMINALS (305) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PENNY LOPE 5722 13 11 0 67 PUNNY AMINALS (305) PENNY LOPEZ 5725 12 11 0 67 PUNNY AMINALS (305) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KILDILLI DALL 5765 10 4 0 64 PUNNY AMINALS (305) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MOLLY BOOTS 5656 4 0 0 51 NOBLE ON FIRE (573) -24 CARAT 5694 10 9 1 50 GOLDEN GLADIATORS (362) -ON GOLDEN POND 5785 7 0 0 48 GOLDEN GLADIATORS (362) 400S 5674 4 1 0 44 JLG (586) -GOLD BULLION 5759 5 3 0 39 GOLDEN GLADIATORS (362) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RE-PETE 1593 5 1 0 37 2 BAD 4 U (175) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HEART OF GOLD 5776 4 5 0 33 GOLDEN GLADIATORS (362) PETE 1592 4 2 0 33 2 BAD 4 U (175) DUNROE MINH 5766 7 7 1 30 PUNNY AMINALS (305) IN MY BENZ 5778 3 6 0 30 NOBLE ON FIRE (573) ANIS 5189 5 7 1 26 MAXIMUM RESULTS (311) 15DVSP 5803 3 0 0 26 JLG (586) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOILINGBROKE 5786 2 5 0 23 ROSE NOBLES (335) DOUGLAS 3489 6 4 0 22 ROSE NOBLES (335) SCROPE 5787 3 4 0 15 ROSE NOBLES (335) 25RTS 5804 2 1 0 15 JLG (586) MOUTH SERVICE 5801 2 1 0 14 NOBLE ON FIRE (573) 260MRT 5676 3 1 0 11 JLG (586) -U WOODN'T DAIR 1591 3 1 0 10 2 BAD 4 U (175) POCKET LOCKER 5799 2 2 0 10 NOBLE ON FIRE (573) -O YEA?! 1590 2 2 1 9 2 BAD 4 U (175) MUKWA 5800 0 4 0 4 MAXIMUM RESULTS (311) LONG STRING 5798 0 4 0 4 NOBLE ON FIRE (573) NOXON 5802 0 3 0 3 MAXIMUM RESULTS (311) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Well done. -- Heart Of Gold 400S and JLG -- I just needed to straighten out that record of yours. How'd you do in the Atlanta tournament? -- On Golden Pond Penny Lope -- I feel tarnished. I do. -- 24 Carat Beaufort -- Congratulations! Well done, CHAMP. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators Rose Nobles -- What a fine point count gain. Kudos! -- Midas Kildilli -- Chocolate is out. Marshmallows are in. -- Heart Of Gold 3-12-19-3-9-11-13 is a tough one, Coyote. A very tough recruit, indeed! I would probably try something like a 4-18-19-3-15-12-13 piker, hoping for the best. Most will say that is deep, done, DA meat--but we work 'em all. -- Midas Pete -- That match up was 2 bad 4 me! Maybe we will meet again. -- Noxon Noble on Fire -- That was more than "mouth service". Well challenged. -- Coyote Jorja -- I see your name all over the news. Congratulations on your success. -- Coyote Chauncy -- Once you hit me first (again) I needed a lucky hit. I am sure I will see you on the sands soon. You just have to beat the FP's to the head of the line. -- Beaufort Pocket Locker -- What a marathon. It was fun and my first three minute win. -- Scrope Heart of Gold -- The "broke" usually gets me "boiling". I will try to boil better next time. -- Boiling Broke In My Benz -- Ah. Classy wheels. Hmm. Do you loan 'em out? (rubs hands together eagerly) I'd be glad to give things a try.... -- Dunroe Minh, but maybe not QUITE done yet Beaufort -- This is what comes of sucking up the skills. Good work, young fellow. Go far, go fast, stay alive. -- Chauncy 24 Carat -- Well, I had this great recipe for carat cake.... -- Penny Lope I wasn't ready for M. Chardinee. But wow, was he ever ready for me. -- Penny Lopez P.S. I guess I'll have to go eat some of my sister's carat cake to relax. Well, *I* was ready for M. Chardinee. I creamed him. -- Kildilli Dall Listen, all you TPs, I'm working on it! -- Chauncy Anis -- Ha! -- Penny Lopez Coyote -- I recently had a rollup much like that, except the size was 21. I'd probably go 9-12-19-9-11-11-13, make it a striker, and arm it with hatchets, light armor, run fairly fast. -- Jorja P.S. And for many managers, there's the Dark Arena. 6 September 2007 ****************************************** ****************************************** ***** ******* ***** STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 3 ******* ***** ******* ****************************************** ****************************************** 15 managers have announced for the Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse!!!!!!
