     Well, what are you looking at, SUNSET?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, PESTILENCE, since FAMINE 
took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If this keeps up, LITERATE 
LOONS, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 7 in the rankings? 
FAMINE turned their 2-1-0 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn.  Any 
better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, 
but don't get cocky, PHILTHBALLS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud.  
Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BRAVOS win a fight and gain 24 points, 
terribly.  Tsk, tsk, BRAVOS beat MATSUDA KAO and MATSUDA KAO lost 18 points.  You're 
breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, SUNSET may be getting bland, 
as VIOLENT PACIFICATION stays top dog in the city.  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, 
SUNSET?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  NOMADIC TRIBE was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  
Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was KANO CLAN.  Ha ha ha ha!  DARLA was challenged 
more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, 
heh.  CANNON FODDER was challenged by one of GRIM FANDANGO's warriors this turn, with 
VULGE having a lead of 17 points going into the fight.  And golly gee, VULGE bested 
CANNON FODDER.  Aren't we all surprised and impressed?  I guess I can give a little 
credit to BULGAKOV of LITERATE LOONS for challenging up by 24 to NERVE RAKER.  
BULGAKOV lost to get 77 points of recognition.  And we have SAMAEL in a challenge, 
going down 11 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought SAMAEL showed great skill 
and promise when he put to death GRIMLORD.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for SUNSET's 
morgue.  More variety.  Bye bye, warrior, bye bye...  HAMSUN, a glorious 10-11-0 
fighter, has passed away.  Gee, too bad LITERATE LOONS.  Honor is like a chainmail 
shirt, it only shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me 
on this one.   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  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

Sherman and Loons -- I knew you'd whine about the downchallenge.  If you're going to
run crap like that, it WILL die here, by my hand or someone else's, just a matter of
time. -- Stik

Sherwood -- Nice job, I figured that armor'd hold up better than that, guess not
against the legendary scimitar crit.  Gonna send your finally-graduating little pal
in with his faves in tow this turn?  I'm still here. -- Vulge

Woody -- That's the way it goes sometimes.  You don't know what you've got until you
run'em.  More often than not, though, a spade's a spade. -- Stik

Bluejay -- That was a bit of a surprise, even to me!  My thanks, though! -- G.T.

Roadrunner -- And another one bites the dust...all the scum up here, what's an aimer
to do?? -- Bravos

Hart Crane -- Congrats on finally escaping.  Would that we could have avenged our
teammate better, but oh well. -- Grim Fandango

Drache Totlick -- That's one crazy name, and one oooold team!  Welcome back!  Stay a
while and spill some entrails! -- Stik and Grim Fandango

Stik -- Your response was edited?!  How so, instead of portraying yourself as a
ubiquitous saint you meant to convey that you're God himself? -- Sherman, mgr Lit.
Loons

Sunset -- So goes Hart Crane [10(1)-10(1)-10-17-17-5-17 Mas. Init & Parry, Ad Ex.

Att, Ex. Def.]  And here's a shout out to Assur and Sports, Bill Parcells was full of
[bleep].  Hart Crane was better than his record but sloppy management, bad match-ups,
and early BF losses made his record mediocre. -- Sherman

Hamsun -- No, no, that is not how it is done.  You are supposed to hit your opponent!
Really, it is a pretty simple concept. -- Raker

Scout -- Wow, I did not expect you to pack that much of a punch.  Quite impressive.
-- Ziggy

Azrael -- Now that is how I had expected that match-up to work! -- Tiger

Xaphan -- Well, now that was a pleasant little random match-up. -- Dream
