Time for a Useful Weapon to take over. So, here I am. Candlestick, your Duelmaster. So let's get down to brass tacks. (Har, har, get it? Brass.) I am designed to hold fire, leave indentations in heads, and to look real pretty -- especially if you like polished brass. I do all three well. Just ask Ishibo! I expect one more fight here, then on to New Orleans as a Champion, hopefully immortal champion. Will the goddesses of RSI comply? Only if lightning strikes, I guess. (wink) So here I am. Come and get me. Bash Bros excluded. Candlestick, Duelmaster SPY REPORT What's up, Chimlevtal?!? That break in fighting did me in. I wasn't ready for another round of turns so close to the prior turn! That's right!!! Always blame everything on the Commission!!! It was their fault I didn't get a spy report done last turn! And that wasn't me stumbling drunk between fights, either! It was my sister. We look alike! I've heard of writing in the light of a candlestick, but this is honestly the first time I've heard of the CANDLESTICK writing. A beautiful column and an even more beautiful challenge by our Duelmaster. It wasn't a 100 point bloodfeud, but it was a challenge to the worst warrior in the Challenger Champs and the only such warrior with a losing record. Nobody will be surprised to hear that we still have the flaming beacon lighting the throne. Though he has been the most challenged before, ISHIBO did not hold that honor this time. The most challenged warrior was BLUEBIRD. Now that is a puzzle to me. Why would everyone want a piece of a blue bird? I'm guessing the answer is apathy and my scribes don't realize that reporting the most challenged warrior on 1-2 challenges isn't very interesting. It does suggest that apathy is high. Or that this place has grown even more Andorian-like than it was when I came here. Why do you all play so nice?!? You know I'll raise your evil deeds high (well, if they work. If they don't, I'll ridicule you all day long). Speaking of such ridicule. POOL CUE did make a down challenge this turn! And to an 0-4 warrior, no less! What a thing of beauty! Except... The POOL CUE was a tool all right. It was broken like a twig and used for at least 3 different things in the GREAT ESCAPE. Congratulations to BOOK OF THOMAS for leaving the ranks of futility behind. There were 2 kills this turn. The first was MERAK coming back after killing a not-so-High Elf. Congrats to him. I heard the latest odds were 3 to 2 that he would be sent back for a second round this turn. The second was our popularity leader, FHTAGN. As you know I love those undefeated and futility streaks. And BOMBARDIER JET had a perfect 6-0 going into the turn. If he had survived, he would have learned that a bit of humility (as well as being careful about jumping up the ranks too quickly) is healthy. Instead, his manager will have to be satisfied with one of those beautiful recruits the Commission calls replacement warriors! Some of them can identify the pointy end without any training!!! Ten Teams fought. I suppose one of them might have been better than all the rest, but I'm feeling ornery, under-appreciated, and definitely under-paid, so figuring that out is just not happening. Lungers were perfect on the day. WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U avoided USEFUL WEAPONS. There were 40 warriors fighting in 22 fights (3 DA's, 1 successful BF, 8 challenges). And that is what I call a spy report for the 396th turn of this arena, which comes out to about 30 and a half years of fighting. -- Belinda DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CANDLESTICK 6623 13 3 0 131 USEFUL WEAPONS (636) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STRATOS 6499 12 4 0 136 OTTOBAHN (639) -TAR 6553 7 1 0 126 BASH BROS OCEAN (627) NINE-TAILED FOX 6359 18 10 0 102 NUMBERS GAME (403) FHTAGN 6516 14 21 1 102 WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U!
