It's been a fun run with this team. Two of my favorites died along the way, but even they provided many fights of fun along the way. First the two dead guys: Missing Teeth: 7-11-5-11-21-9-21 AB. TV'd Rookies and then saw his life cut short at 14FE by the evil Crip. Maybe one day he'll come back to life. He does run every October, but that 11 wit is not helping him. Slushy Ice: 14-17-17-3-3-10-20 TP. What a thing of beauty. He survived 18 losses but once again faced one of those nasty Crip warriors who decided 11-19 was the end of his career. And right after I'd upgraded his status from "He's going to die this turn" (every turn) to "He's probably going to die this turn." And now the highlights of my Bash Bros Hockey/Bash Bros Sports franchise: The first two grads participated in Bashapocalypse, two of only a very few that were from existing teams. Extra Long Shift: 15-6-9-15-9-16-14 BA. Even with his great damage roll, he only managed to go 0-3 in Rookies. But after that, he quickly made his way through this arena. Faves: HI/LO ML Bash tactic Regular Season: 15-4-9-17-15-13-11 BA. His great damage earned him 2 wins in Rookies. Solid design and rolls, but it didn't work out for him then. Graduation and retirement (a common theme for this team) were his highlight. Faves: HI/VL MS Bash tactic The other basher that graduated: Blind Ref: 14-6-9-11-21-12-11 BA. Only normal damage, but graduated with a winning record and faves of MO/LO LG Bash tactic The last warrior to have graduated is the best, though he never got to that magical TV place. 0-2 rookies, 6-3 apprentices, 7-3 initiates, 7-3 adepts, and 5-3 champs. 3- 13-9-17-21-10-11 ST with the magical faves of VL/VL BS At best, I will be taking a break from DM 50. Most likely the Bash Bros Sports franchise will be replaced with another Bash Bros franchise at a later time. -- Assur SPY REPORT Greetings, warriors of SNOWBOUND! Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with CACTUS JACK? He actually beat GOT BLOOD?'s THE MOUNTAIN, and walked away with 12 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at BOOK OF THOMAS while they watched CACTUS JACK clobber THE MOUNTAIN. He lost 9 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. SNOWBOUND has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. He Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's ARENAMISTRESS TORA (0-0-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. The crowds were amazed this turn, as ARENAMISTRESS TORA killed the Duelmaster, EXTRA LONG SHIFT, leaving BASH BROS SPORTS in mourning. So now MARBLE MOUTH gets to be SNOWBOUND's Duelmaster. But what comes around goes around. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners. Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... SNOWBOUND thinks OPEN SESAME and their 473-299-34 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... Management must be dealin', as the boys at GOT BLOOD? ain't reelin'! OPEN SESAME's mad! There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? Someone told REEK that MESOPOTAMIA never Bloodfeuded, that he'd have an easy kill. Well, I'm sure whoever misled you is right sorry. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf. Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.
