Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, CHILDREN OF LLYR, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Looks like MURSKA has some guts at least, NOREASTER the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. Q*BERT challenged MURSKA's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. 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? My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. THE BEARS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like BUSY, BUSYTOWN avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one, but FATHER CAT has challenged up by 27 in an attempt against CADAL COONTZ. Not that I'm surprised or anything, but FATHER CAT was defeated by CADAL COONTZ, leaving the latter lower for recognition points. And we have DINGO DOG in a challenge, going down 13 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought DINGO DOG showed great skill and promise when he was overcame by KAI. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? 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.

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but an old CAT surely sucks 'em up. -- Cadal Coontz Cat's are smarter. -- Ed. (my cat told me to say that) Take Cover -- I didn't say that, I want you to give it back! -- Kai Mr. Fixit -- But...you broke it! And I was still USING that arm. -- Faron Pitfall Harry -- I could've told you there was a pit there, but then I thought, hey, he dug it, let him fall into it if he wants. -- Balin Surgery -- You aren't qualified, and you should not be allowed to practice in the Infirmary! -- Belgo 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 20 June 2006 Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire Our newest Dark Knight disrespected?!?!?! ARE THEY SERIOUS?!?!
