Practice pays for NJORD, who pummelled STANDBY, to pocket 23 points. SLAMBO certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to CONVICTED ASSASSIN and losing 31 points in the process! Well, Duelmaster CALLOUS COURTNEY Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's HIGH ELF. Is a 15-2-1 good enough? Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by HIGH ELF, of DARK ARENA, who despite a 0-0-0 couldn't overcome STORMCROWE's Number 1. Word has it one team in STORMCROWE is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life! A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in GOD OR GODDESS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of ERRATA, so did that sorry team shy from GOD OR GODDESS If challenges were horses, MINI DRIVER could open up a fast food joint! Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! HIGH ELF in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for CALLOUS COURTNEY of STREET WALKERS. Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at The Shadow's Fountain will be! Those who owe PAYNE of DARQUE FORCES money and had written her off, take note: she'S BACK FROM THE DARK ARENA!!! AND she'S MAD!!! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JOSIE WALES 4620 15 1 1 112 STREET WALKERS (516) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MR BEEFY 4618 16 2 1 98 STREET WALKERS (516) MINI DRIVER 4645 10 3 0 94 STREET WALKERS (516) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YUMALESCA 4289 19 18 1 89 DARQUE FORCES (428) ROSELYN 4498 14 5 0 75 DARQUE FORCES (428) SLAMBO 4619 13 5 1 75 STREET WALKERS (516) -PT CRUISER 4311 7 6 4 75 ERRATA (490) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ANDROMEDA 4594 4 0 1 66 DARQUE FORCES (428) NJORD 4574 8 3 3 61 GOD OR GODDESS (513) STANDBY 4314 9 8 1 60 ERRATA (490) -121 4312 7 8 1 60 ERRATA (490) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ELISHAR 4575 8 3 1 56 GOD OR GODDESS (513) LINE 4471 8 6 1 50 ERRATA (490) SAPPHIRA 4646 4 0 0 34 DARQUE FORCES (428) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DC MASTER 4523 5 1 0 33 OF WOLF & MAN 4 (491) -SHIVOR 4569 1 3 0 33 OF WOLF & MAN 4 (491) WHITE BEAR 4647 5 7 0 26 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) AVALANCHE 4652 3 2 0 25 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) AEGIR 4571 5 6 0 24 GOD OR GODDESS (513) GLITRINA 4656 3 1 1 24 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME IAPERE 4655 4 1 0 22 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) FRIGGA 4572 5 6 0 21 GOD OR GODDESS (513) AURORA MARIE 4648 4 6 0 18 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

It was cold out. -- White Bear P.S. Inside, using other skills, we could go an hour or two.... Our congratulations to Callous Courtney and Payne. -- Jorja and the Northern Lights We salute the tourney participants. -- Jorja and, again, the Northern Lights Ouch, a two-three turn. I think we should take the Fifth. -- Aurora Marie, scanning the newsletter Marie -- Great idea. A fifth of scotch! -- Glitrina No drinking! Ah, no drinking alcoholic beverages, anyway. Jorja would get annoyed. -- White Bear Standby -- Well, at least I can console myself that I lost to someone more experienced. And learned several skills. That helps. -- Aurora Marie P.S. But a fifth, or at least a sixth, sounds like a good plan to me. Elishar -- That was totally unpleasant, and I only got one skill out of it, too. Bummer. Definitely a fifth is called for. -- Glitrina Aegir -- I wouldn't have MINDED an evener match, even against a standby. Oh, well. -- Iapere The Mordant Deserter made a good chewy-toy. -- White Bear Thor -- You get the short end of the mismatch. Tough, but sometimes the unfairness goes in our favor. Not OFTEN, mind you, but sometimes. -- Avalanche LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS CALLOUS COURTNEY viciously butchered HIGH ELF in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
