Listen, Q*bert, you've got to stop losing like this! I don't belong in such an exposed position. It makes me nervous. Inconspicuous (but alive, your five kills are scary) is the route for me. I think. I'm sure about the "alive" part, though. Balin SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of MURSKA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. CULANN COONTZ caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested THE USEROUS MERCHANT and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BRENNA put down THE SICILIAN, causing him to lose 2 points of recognition in the process. Although JUNGLE KING made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious BALIN. Would you believe that over half of the old women in MURSKA seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? Many and various are the arts of battle. In MURSKA "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! MURSKA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is CHILDREN OF LLYR, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding CHILDREN OF LLYR. Indeed it was THE GODS ARE ANGRY. Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Some guilds are strict but few are as heartless as THE BEARS. Witness, last turn they sent THE ONE, a 6-2-2 fighter, to the Dark Arena! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt! The girls are as pretty in MURSKA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BALIN 3955 18 5 0 104 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME Q*BERT 3928 22 18 5 92 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PITFALL HARRY 3927 14 23 0 76 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) JUNGLE KING 3930 15 25 0 75 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TOURNEY SCUM 3943 13 1 0 61 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) -JANICE JOPLIN 3891 4 0 1 61 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CULANN COONTZ 3984 5 1 0 48 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) BILDIS 3978 5 6 0 35 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AIDAN O'KAI 3989 4 0 0 31 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRENNA 3995 2 0 0 17 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) TIBERIUS 3983 3 4 0 13 THE GODS ARE ANGRY (63) THE SICILIAN 3987 1 1 0 9 THE BEARS (253) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

The scum is disgusting stuff, almost impossible to wash off my armor. Next time, don't embrace me at the end of the fight. Being buried in the sand would be cleaner. -- Bildis Tiberius -- So, what did you DO to make the gods so VERY angry that they'd shrink a Shew to less than five and a half feet tall? It must've been a doozy! -- Aidan o'Kai An Embezzling Scribe? Cheese, that's no work for a warrior. -- Culann Coontz Stupid beggar. -- Brenna 24 January 2007 The Council of Lords would like to propose a rule change in ADM and Primus. We propose that Lord Protectors ranked "Grand Champions" and below (ADM) and "The Tower Guard" and below (Primus) be allowed to fight in the Dark Arena. This would not impact the top rankings or title match. Any managers who never got his fill or shot at fighting Gateway monsters would have it as an option. We believe it might spark some interest in the ADM/Primus realm for some managers. If interested, speak up in the newsletters or on forums under the "rules changes" thread and let RSI know. This could even be something to try for 12 months and then be re-evaluated. What say you, managers of Ghea? -- The Icelord sends....
