Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see JACKSON win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, JACKSON beat CHUCKER ISTTA and CHUCKER ISTTA lost 12 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, D.O.A. DOMINANCE has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as EDGILES KAPP takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Victory Tavern, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From SOLVEN's trash dumps? He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. SOLVEN, I am losing what little hope I had in you. 4-LETTER CURSE WORDS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like KELLUMBO'S KIDS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, IO OLDEND was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I notice JEROME challenging down 22 points to fight IO OLDEND, KELLUMBO'S KIDS doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to honor. And sorry to say, JEROME defeated IO OLDEND, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term I'm looking for. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? 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. Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of SOLVEN. I feel much better now.

Looks like for the most part it will be just you and me in the arena for a while. -- Kellumbo IO Oldend -- You should really pay your debts off. People hate to be owed. -- Jerome Dolby -- I am rooting for you to win and get up into the champs this turn! Go get em! -- Jackson Chucker -- Hopefully we'll have different results than the last time we fought. Put em up I say, put em up! -- Jackson Belissa -- Big time congrats. Care to share your stats and faves if you are not going to run in ADM? You seemed to be a really solid warrior. -- DK D.O.A. Dominance -- Like I care! A golem like you probably doesn't have anything better to hope for, but I'm going to start a milliner's shop as soon as I'm through here in the arena. Maybe not in Solven, though, it's too quiet here. People don't do the "high society" bit so much, and that's what you need to really make a go of hats. Maybe Fratsfa...hmm. Well, whatever, not your concern, right? I don't suppose neuter golems even WEAR hats. -- Belissa Hough Jackson -- You don't look like a kid to ME. Damned young hotshot is what YOU are. And no respect for a venerable old fossil like me with creaky joints. Damn straight I've been reconsidering this gladiator stuff. Trouble is, the only way to get out, for my team, is death or graduation. (sigh) Maybe next year.... -- Dolby Jossel Jerome -- What a spoiled little brat you are! I use "little" metaphorically, of course. Your manners are atrocious. I suppose you were a Momma's Boy and she never disciplined you, so you thought you should and would have everything handed to you on a platter. Ha. Someone needs to jerk you up short. But not me. -- Io Oldend Nafisah -- And awaaaay you go! -- Edgiles Kapp P.S. How come I didn't learn more from a graduating warrior, by the way? You should've had lots to teach me, and now you won't have another chance! Think of the opportunity missed. Well, of COURSE the Virginal Concubine's insurance has lapsed! It lapsed the minute she got thrown out of the palace. Catch any rich-and-haughty type insuring a FORMER concubine, eh? -- Chucker Istta Very low/low? I'm a striker, for pete's sake, not a SCUM. In fact, I'm a DECISIVE striker, which doesn't sound scummy at all to me. Drat. Those people at the Commission are NUTS. -- Belissa Hough 6 September 2007 ****************************************** ****************************************** ***** ******* ***** STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 3 ******* ***** ******* ****************************************** ****************************************** 15 managers have announced for the Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse!!!!!!
