Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, CHILDREN OF LLYR, since BASH BROS PETS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. BASH BROS PETS turned their 3-0-0 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see MR. FIXIT win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MR. FIXIT beat FARON and FARON lost 21 points. You're breakin' my heart. NOREASTER challenged BUMP 'N' JUMP for MURSKA's Title this turn, and guess what happened? And if variety is the spice of life, MURSKA may be getting bland, as NOREASTER stays top dog in the city. The Fire Dragon Inn, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From MURSKA's trash dumps? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. MURSKA, I am losing what little hope I had in you. THE BEARS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like BUSY, BUSYTOWN avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, KAI was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. CADAL COONTZ was challenged by one of BUSY, BUSYTOWN's warriors this turn, with FATHER CAT having a lead of 42 points going into the fight. FATHER CAT was bested by CADAL COONTZ! Ok, FATHER CAT want to fight my grandmother next turn? Huh? Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for MURSKA's morgue. More variety. Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see CADAL COONTZ and CHILDREN OF LLYR at The Fire Dragon Inn tonight celebrating their bloodfeud victory over FATHER CAT. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? What does the MURSKA arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.

And now the yard is a total mess. -- Faron Mr. Fixit -- If you do windows...or yards, I'd be interested. -- Balin Pooped in Yard -- And a right mess of it you made, too. Gah. -- Belgo 26 May 2006 The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear. From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood flow freely and give NO quarter in war. This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire, you WILL get burnt!!! Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire 6 June 2006 To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality. Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS STORM CLOUD was butchered by SPYMASTER in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
