Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see DIABOLICFIEND win a fight and gain 25 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SUCCOTASH beat WRETCHEDMISERY and WRETCHEDMISERY lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, NIATOLI ISLAND may be getting bland, as DEMONICHELLION 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, NIATOLI ISLAND? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? VEGGIES 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 CHAOTICDISORDER. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, INFESTIX was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Now look at this. MALODOROUSREEK challenged down 17 against KLKASINO HAMMERZ's MAVERICK HAMMER. What a weasel! And sorry to say, MALODOROUSREEK won victory over MAVERICK HAMMER, 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. And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and girls, STONE FACE HAMMER of KLKASINO HAMMERZ has added the final loss to his 15-11-0. Tee hee! 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 NIATOLI ISLAND to get a drink than The Don't Drop Inn! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DEMONICHELLION 7038 11 4 2 115 CHAOTICDISORDER (585) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SUCCOTASH 7253 11 3 0 100 VEGGIES (435) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DIABOLICFIEND 7275 9 3 1 90 CHAOTICDISORDER (585) TATHARLI 4505 20 22 0 82 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) WRETCHEDMISERY 7255 8 5 0 80 CHAOTICDISORDER (585) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BROCCOLI 7285 6 4 0 66 VEGGIES (435) MALODOROUSREEK 7274 10 5 1 59 CHAOTICDISORDER (585) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME IRINKESTA 7321 5 3 0 56 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) BLUFFING HAMMER 7244 14 13 0 55 KLKASINO HAMMERZ (576) BIG CASINO HAMMER 7277 9 6 1 49 KLKASINO HAMMERZ (576) MAVERICK HAMMER 7242 7 20 0 41 KLKASINO HAMMERZ (576) -AMORPHOUSBLOB 7042 6 6 0 40 CHAOTICDISORDER (585) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THIMBELL 4836 5 16 0 31 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) DEUS 7328 2 0 0 26 STEEL PATH 2 (603) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TYLER 4993 5 7 0 22 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) INFESTIX 3003 2 0 0 20 ELITE SOLDIERS (247) RISEM 7324 2 0 0 8 STEEL PATH 2 (603) ALDT 7327 1 1 0 7 STEEL PATH 2 (603) -MUSHROOM 7314 0 1 0 7 VEGGIES (435) SQUASH 7329 0 2 0 2 VEGGIES (435) MAZER 7335 0 1 0 1 STEEL PATH 2 (603) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

How I felt, you know. Stone Face Hammer -- It must be something about the arena.

We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have, hence the Andorian arena.
