SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of MURSKA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. CURSED LANDS turned their 1-0-0 turn into a 6th 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 HIGHWAY 420 win a fight and gain 29 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, HIGHWAY 420 beat DEIRDRIE and DEIRDRIE lost 22 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, URCHIN has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as VAMPIRE SQUID takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. FOOT OF PRIDE, 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 who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was SEA DOGS. Ha ha ha ha! Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for MURSKA's morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? There's got to be a better place in MURSKA to get a drink than The Dragon's Hangover! 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. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VAMPIRE SQUID 4115 11 1 0 111 SEA DOGS (377) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -URCHIN 4338 9 4 0 116 SEA DOGS (377) HIGHWAY 420 3885 16 9 1 98 HAPPY FUN TIME (361) -DAYDREAM FROG 4348 16 6 0 96 BATTLE FROGS (388) LORD'S PRAYER 4456 8 5 0 96 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) SAVAGE BEATING 4339 20 14 0 94 HAPPY FUN TIME (361) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PRIVATEER 4264 13 7 0 90 SEA DOGS (377) NO TURN 4425 10 8 2 88 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) FINN MAC KARMEK 4388 14 13 0 87 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DEIRDRIE 4391 17 10 0 75 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) MEL 4408 13 11 0 73 SOUND (15) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SEAN AP KORMAK 4404 9 15 1 66 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HUM 4407 10 14 1 53 SOUND (15) OISIN 4439 10 8 0 49 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) COLLEEN 4478 5 2 0 48 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) DANNY BOY 4424 11 4 0 42 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MACE FACE FROG 4349 8 8 0 32 BATTLE FROGS (388) TUMULT 4460 6 5 1 30 SOUND (15) SLAM 4481 4 2 1 25 SOUND (15) TITANYEN 4189 1 1 0 24 CURSED LANDS (382) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TONE 4477 4 3 0 21 SOUND (15) -BLUE JACKET 4476 3 1 0 20 SEA DOGS (377) -MODERN FROG 4486 0 1 0 2 BATTLE FROGS (388) -WARD CLEAVER 3697 0 1 0 1 LEAVE IT TO ME (348) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

You deserved the win. -- Hum Privateer -- After I fell and dropped my weapon, I'm just glad I survived the fight! Time to re-evaluate my challenges. -- Mel Colleen -- Very impressive fight! You are accurate and hit hard. I'd have more respect for you if you didn't try to kill me! Thanks for the learns! -- Tone Titanyen -- Honestly, I'm surprised I won because you almost killed me twice! What's up with that? -- Slam Sea Dogs -- Well... the idea of having a vampire squid around does not actually appeal, but we are glad for the gladiator so designated. But how can this be, since it washed out in the Dead Tourney? -- Children of Llyr And speaking of the recent tourney, we salute the participants generally and especially (sigh) Torture, tourney victor. Obviously, Murska has got some bad karma to work out, getting all these really nasty gladiators.... -- Children of Llyr Tone -- Anyone tries to tie up MY tongue will get bitten! -- Colleen P.S. How about Kraki's House of Really Good Steaks for a start? You're KIDDING us! We actually went five-and-oh? No wonder we were Top Team on the Move. Time to CELEBRATE... because this won't last. It never does. -- Children of Llyr LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS BLAH FUN was butchered by WURM KIN in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight. DA2 was dealt death by MOUNTAIN TROLL in a 2 minute brutal Dark Arena duel.
