SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of TALCAMA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. FUNKY FOLK turned their 2-0-0 turn into a 8th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SOULTAKER win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SOULTAKER beat STORK and STORK lost 17 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as OAKLAND FU takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Original Arthur's Last Stand, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From TALCAMA's trash dumps? My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. TALCAMA, I am losing what little hope I had in you. CENTER FOR OLDS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was THE DARK GODS. Ha ha ha ha! HOFFA was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. And we have DAN in a challenge, going down 8 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought DAN showed great skill and promise when he subdued HOFFA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! 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. There's got to be a better place in TALCAMA to get a drink than The Original Arthur's Last Stand! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OAKLAND FU 9424 16 12 0 113 BURN N' PILLAGE (218) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -INDENTURED OARSMAN 9167 11 5 0 111 SEA DOGS (224) XYLICARE 9317 23 11 1 99 BURN N' PILLAGE (218) BERCHTA 6774 11 7 2 99 THE DARK GODS (501) -SOUND THE VANILLA! 9209 14 3 0 97 WASTELAND (207) DARTH SION 9233 21 25 1 92 STAR WARS: KOTOR (624) PROGIDY, DAMMIT! 9446 13 14 0 91 CENTER FOR OLDS (108) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GREAT WHITE 8473 17 11 0 84 BEAST MASTERS (567) ADAM 9441 14 13 2 84 SHEPHERDS (252) JB BLAH 9478 12 11 1 77 CENTER FOR OLDS (108) -MIDNIGHT 2549 12 12 0 73 WIZARDGUARD (175) -SOLSBURY HILL 8558 15 17 6 69 STREET PIZZA (106) DAN 9512 10 9 0 68 SHEPHERDS (252) THE LIFEGUARD 9480 13 10 0 67 CENTER FOR OLDS (108) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DINAH MIGHT 9229 11 7 1 65 FUNKY FOLK (625) -WARG HANDLER 9520 10 7 0 62 WIZARDGUARD (175) PEZ 9471 11 13 0 60 BURN N' PILLAGE (218) ARCHOR 6776 9 9 0 60 THE DARK GODS (501) SHEWISH WHALER 9272 8 4 0 60 SEA DOGS (224) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MESHACH 9531 9 6 1 57 SHEPHERDS (252) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HOFFA 9369 12 19 0 55 ARROGANCE (347) MANTIS 8553 13 9 1 53 BEAST MASTERS (567) SOULTAKER 9558 6 7 0 53 ARROGANCE (347) TOE PUPPET 9544 8 6 0 51 CENTER FOR OLDS (108) CERRIDWEN 6775 5 14 1 39 THE DARK GODS (501) SHEWISH CORSAIR 9237 4 5 0 38 SEA DOGS (224) -GRUMPY MONDAY 9538 3 4 0 38 WASTELAND (207) DUERGAR 6777 8 10 1 35 THE DARK GODS (501) FLOTSAM 9594 4 1 0 34 SEA DOGS (224) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ROBIN BANKS 9470 3 4 0 32 FUNKY FOLK (625) WALRUS 9548 7 6 1 31 BEAST MASTERS (567) STORK 9546 7 6 0 31 BEAST MASTERS (567) BOTHACH 9539 6 8 0 31 BURN N' PILLAGE (218) -SUNDAY AFTERNOON 9514 6 5 0 28 WASTELAND (207) -PAPA ROTZI 9551 3 1 0 26 FUNKY FOLK (625) EURYNOMOS 6778 4 13 0 25 THE DARK GODS (501) -GEOMANCER 9602 3 1 0 25 WIZARDGUARD (175) -HELEN HELLSTORM 9603 3 1 0 24 WIZARDGUARD (175) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BUMBLE BEE 9564 6 5 0 23 BEAST MASTERS (567) FROO-FROO 9589 4 2 0 21 CENTER FOR OLDS (108) SAL MONELLA 9613 2 0 0 17 FUNKY FOLK (625) A'S SPECIAL BLEND 9575 3 5 0 14 SHEPHERDS (252) -DEVIL NINJA 9597 1 1 0 13 WASTELAND (207) NULN 9557 0 13 0 13 ARROGANCE (347) BUNNY HOPPER 9616 1 0 0 6 FUNKY FOLK (625) RUTH 9615 0 1 0 1 SHEPHERDS (252) -KIDD CRIMSON 4998 0 1 0 1 THE RED BLADES (388) -IRATE IMP 9614 0 1 0 1 WIZARDGUARD (175) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
