It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in MURSKA. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey everybody, watch out for TAKE COVER, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing CU-CADAL like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. CU-CADAL was overcame by TAKE COVER and drops 16 points. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was DEVILS OF THE DEEP's MEGALODON, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by BARRISTER. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location. Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MURSKA arena. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad THE BEARS? Big bad THE BEARS. Big bad THE BEARS. MURSKA's afraid of the big bad THE BEARS. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one: THE BEARS + Weapons That go Boom = BLITZKRIEG + Avoid City. And who is this O'MALLEY you ask, with 70 points and a 7-4-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Challenging down 19 points was O'MALLEY. Pretty soon he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.: The only way to clean up' pins. Definition of petty: O'MALLEY subdued MORPETH, a mismatch of 19 points. Getting lots of flowers from sympathetic fans was KAI, who was successfully challenged by RAZZLE DAZZLE who had a mere 22 points more than KAI. Definition of petty: RAZZLE DAZZLE overcame KAI, a mismatch of 22 points. Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! This round goes to BLITZKRIEG, their 8-3-2 warrior, BARRISTER slew the 9-2-0 MEGALODON. Stay tuned next week to see what happens. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster. Well, there's the manager of the MURSKA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Hasta la bye-bye.

Amazing. -- Dallow the easily amazed 20 September 2004 Azereth has returned! I am the manager for Scarlet Blades in DM 25. I was a member of the Crimson Alliance and the Crimson Brotherhood (which was composed of former CA members). I've been out of the game for many (at least 5) years. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers me, as well as any Alliance that is seeking to add experienced managers to their roster. Contact me at: Anthony Wells 600 W. Shore Dr. Stanton, MI 48888 or by personal ads in DM 25. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS O'MALLEY devastated MORPETH in a action packed 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
