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!

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 LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS MONTRIEUX was butchered by DARK CHAMPION in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
