     Dark Knight Toker was not going to like the fact Dark Knight Wasby would either
have to share his body or flee into a pack of pigs, forever, to root and sleep in his
brethren's leavings!  The "Manic Fuhrer" chuckled as he read Dark Knight Goat's
dispatch to D.K. Toker.
     "Alastari's" Greatest TP dozed off.  Darn!  It sure is getting hot down here, is
"Goat's" protection already gone!  Singed hair reached the "Manic Fuhrer's" drop,
crawl and roll training, roll out of the campfire!  None one said "I" was the
smartest scum bucket.  My horse nickered to me.  I glanced around.  No one else saw
it.  Still my senses were on edge.  War was once again coming to the V.C.  Well at
least the economy will improve for a few regions.  I wonder how well these Dark
Knights will fare against my...my horse shied away from me!  As I ducked under a
whistling swing intended to take my head off, thanks to the insight of "Blackstorm,"
cowardly attempts would be made by "Maxi" to try and stop the mighty "Desolate
Empire" from going to Stormcrowe to crush the V.C. for his rookie comments.  I drew
my dagger and parried two blows before I hit this coward and knocked him out with a
backhand slap to his mouth.
     I watched this coward struggle with his bonds for a moment, giving him that
thought of escape.  "The potion of Truth that I have given you has taken effect," I
said.  "I have also administered one of "Dok Sik's" famous Give All potions."  The
smell of the Cartel was seeping out of his pores--fear!
     "All right, idiot, why did only one of you come for me?" I asked.
     "Maximillian is trying to keep his actions from the rest of the Cartel," replied
the worm.
     "He, he, he fears that they won't back him up, you slug!"  I picked up a small
ember and dropped it down his shirt.  "I have been called worse, coward," I thought.
     "You know "Master Darque" hears all you stupid snake," I said.
     "Maxi--I mean 'Maximillian' thinks that you and Darque are getting too old to
fight another Turf War for Stormcrowe.  The VC cannot fight a war against the council
and The Desolate Empire; he fears that he will be kicked out like Hammer," he cried.
     "Mercy, mercy mighty "Manic Fuhrer"," the coward begged.
     "You will have your mercy," I said as I pulled out D.K. Goat's reply to
Maximillian from the fire.
     "Know this, slime!  Take this back to your boyfriend and tell him the time has
come to prove your mettle.  The Desolate Empire has set the standard once again."  I
pushed the branding iron against his forehead, then cut him loose to return to
"Maxi."
     As I packed my gear, I thought how Maxi would react to seeing "VC serve the DE"
on his little altar attendant's head.  I rode off to "Fratsfa" to finish my mission,
to gather the warriors for the greatest test yet to come, a night at The Flower
Shoppe.

                                                           Manic Furher
                                                           "Slap Master of the VC"

                            T-219 Questers Contest INFO!

     I see that the contest spot was printed last turn and my stable even ran.  Thank
the Lady!  During the period of lost spots and missing turns, I made an error on the
final round.  It should be this turn T-221, as it is a 15 round contest.  However
since I made the error of saying T-222, I will score any teams that fight.  This
should only affect a couple of teams at the top, and I apologize now for the
inconvenience and any problem it has or will cause.
     Now to the standings.  It looks as if Lady Fern and her Flower Girls' first
place finish was cemented with their 5-0 showing for a gain of 13 pts. that put them
at 118 total.  Blood & Guts! moved from 3rd to 2nd and is leading Crip by 5 pts., but
trailing our leader by 29 pts.  Crip has taken 3rd as my brother D.K. Heathen dropped
from 2nd .  Should be quite a show to see who ends up in 2nd.  Everyone else pretty
much stayed in the same place as the turn before.  However, the last couple of turns
should be rounds to remember.  Good luck to all and I really want to thank everyone
that has participated in this contest and now how each one of your have added to a
wonderful atmosphere.  I have put a rough draft of the updated ruled scoring formula
in the p-ads.  Please give some more feedback, because I want to be ready to run this
contest in six month's time.

****ATTENTION****  I have taken it upon myself to rid the list of managers who have
only fought a few turns.  I do not feel that a manager that fought 1 or 2 turns
should be able to place and win prizes, when we have managers who fought throughout
the contest and invested time and money only to be beat out by a sandbagger, or
worse, a quitter.  I may get flamed for this; however, I am doing what I feel is
right.  If Goat and Wulfhere don't fight the final two rounds, they, too, will be
dropped from the list.
     In case of a tie, we will check the beat win % since the beginning of the
contest.

                                                              *Questions &
Statements*

                    Requirements!

1)  Only ONE team per manager entered in the contest.  Only one active team in
    Fratsfa during the contest, PERIOD!
2)  Only one TP on your team at a time.  (If it dies, then you may replace it.)
3)  You must declare (1) warrior as your team scout.  Points will not be scored
    until a scout is declared!!!
4)  You do not need (3) three warriors in the initiates class to compete.  FE does
    not play a factor for eligibility!!!!
5)  If you bloodfeud, you must use a different warrior each time to score the FB
    points.  (If a warrior is used twice, he will only be awarded the points for the
    win or point subracted for the loss on the second bloodfeud.
6)  You must declare your team in the p-ads to be entered.
7)  A champion and scout cannot be the same warrior.
8)  Champions are not required (manager's choice).  Champions must be declared on
    their first fight of the contest!

Now to the scoring formula:
Wins + Kills - Losses = Base score
Base score + Varient score = Total score

BASE SCORE POINTS:
Win = +1 pt
Kill = +1 pt
Loss = -1 pt

VARIENT SCORE POINTS:
Scout Win = +2 pts
Scout Loss = -2 pts
Scout death = -5 pts
Champion win = +3 pts
Champion loss = -3 pts
Stylemaster for turn = +1 pt
Most avoided team = +2 pts
Successful Bloodfeud = +2 pts
Failed Bloodfeud = -2 pts

     Let's say (A) team goes 3 - 2 - 2 = 3 wins + 2 kills - 2 losses = + 3 base
score.  Team (A)'s champion won (+3 pts) and is style master for the turn (1 pt).
His scout lost (-2 pts) for a total turn score of +5 pts.
     Now, let's say team (B) goes 1 - 4 - 1 = 1 win + 1 kill - 4 losses = - 2 pts
base score.  His scout won (+2 pts) and the scouts win was a successful bloodfeud (+2
pts).  So, the total points for this turn would be +2 pts.  (There was no champion on
this team.)
     +25 bonus points will be given to managers that submit a brief history (5
paragraph minimum) including manager alias and stable name by the contest's third
turn.  These  points will be added to the team by T-210.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Wow!  We just love the fight rounds just after the tournaments!  After the
mailer, where the five of us went 0-15, we Flower Girls went 5-0 in the arena.  And
after the Face, where we were a collective 8-15, (0-3, 0-3, 1-3, 1-3, and Holly's 6-
3) we scorched another 5-0.  LUCKY!  Gotta love it.  And we love it any way we can
get it.  (giggle)  Love is our energy and we have a lot to give!
     I thought I might tell you about Horrid Holly, who just graduated.  She was a
14-16-12-16-17-3-6 basher before she was "enhanced to 38-24-36, oops, I mean 17-17-
12-17-18-4-7.  She was mode and ended with GA/high/mod faves.  She was a good friend,
and we participated in many double-decker sandwiches together.  (snicker)  She was
hot!
     We gals are trying to keep everyone in Fratsfa satisfied (Yes, we are!) while we
try to win this quest thing.  We think we have a good chance at it as most of the
guys really, really like having us on top.  Really!  And we truly perform best in
that position.  (wink)
     We wish everyone well.  Come on over and visit us at The Flower Shoppe.  You
will be very, very glad you did.
               Insolent Iris, Duelmaster Of Love

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
FRATSFA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, FLOWER GIRLS, since 
OTTO'S PARTS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If this keeps 
up, ODIN'S CHOSEN, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 6 in 
the rankings?  SILVER KNIGHTS turned their 4-1-0 turn into a 7th place rank in the 
listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Gee, I'm 
impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, BLACK KNIGHTS 2, the Fates teach 
humility, and the Fates are proud.  Tsk, tsk, PANDEMIC beat AUBIN L'AUROUGE and AUBIN 
L'AUROUGE lost 19 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of 
life, FRATSFA may be getting bland, as INSOLENT IRIS stays top dog in the city.  I'm 
not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this?  You want to know 
what's new, don't you, FRATSFA?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
FRATSFA, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  ODIN'S CHOSEN the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like ODIN'S CHOSEN 
avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  
Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, LORD DAVOS was this turn's most challenged 
warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, 
BRAIN TUMOUR was challenged by GUTHHILD MIDWALL, who was ranked 31 points below it.  
Well, ok, the upstart knave (where've I heard that before?) won this match and gained 
27 points to boot!  Ha ha ha, BRAIN TUMOUR.  SER STEEL was challenged by one of 
HOPLITES' warriors this turn, with ARMED RESPONSE having a lead of 21 points going 
into the fight.  And golly gee, ARMED RESPONSE subdued SER STEEL.  Aren't we all 
surprised and impressed?  I notice SER BLACKBALL challenging down 20 points to fight 
DAISHAR, BLACK KNIGHTS 2 doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to 
honor.  Question now is, will FRATSFA accept this sort of tacky behavior?  SER 
BLACKBALL beating DAISHAR.  The insult, the....yech!  I guess I can give a little 
credit to PULLED HAMSTRING of OTTO'S PARTS for challenging up by 20 to 
KYKENSTIENBURG.  PULLED HAMSTRING won to get 66 points of recognition.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Ya gotta go sometime, and ABSOLUTE GRACE's time was 
this time.  Hmmm, not a bad fighter, had he lived... (what?  me pity?).  Seriously 
now, is it really honorable for PAS DE QUARTIER from BLOOD AND GUTS! to kill ABSOLUTE 
GRACE and give HOPLITES the chance to bloodfeud?  Mmmm, could be.  Not that I'll be 
buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see SER ALLOCES and BLACK KNIGHTS 2 at The 
Victory Tavern tonight celebrating their bloodfeud victory over SMOTHERING SALVIA.  
Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds 
of weapons?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide

Dark Knight Toker -- Why thank you!  A Stud and a nice guy too.  (wink) -- Lady Fern

Malice -- Take that for being such a killer, you Cad!  But come on over to The Flower
Shoppe and let me change your life for good.  My pain is much more pleasurable. --
Insolent Iris

Fylgja -- I so much appreciated the work.  I wanted to try some new moves.  What did
you think, Hon? -- Merciless Mum

Draghkar -- I like a Stud who can go and go and go.  And I'll bet that weapon has
some more juice in it.  (wink) -- Painful Peony

Barmy Bob -- Oooooooh!  You sure know how to let a gal have her way with you.  Yes!
-- Smothering Salvia

Aubin L'Aurouge -- I have to admit I was glad to be on top.  I think you liked it
that way! -- Horrid Holly

Tarl -- Of course you will like this place.  We will even let you be on top.  See you
at The Flower Shoppe. -- Lady Fern

Toker -- Prize qualification?  If one does not participate most of the time, one
should not get the climax. -- Lady Fern

Merciless Mum -- You teach well.  I was fighting at a 8-10-7, Decise, RA.  I think it
was my short stature!  Did you like my short spear?  Thank you. -- Ser Blackball

Bushsuckstoadie -- I hope you enjoyed the lunge tactic with that very high
offense/activity effort.  I will be coming at you again of course, it's obvious. --
Ser Alloces

Whirly Bird -- Like your style, for my first time I decided to go as fast as I could.
You're not the best teacher but it was fun. -- Lord Lonely

Daishar -- Your staying power is obvious.  I was lucky to best you.  If you would
like to know how, a parry tactic in the first and none in the second. -- Ser Furcas

Smothering Saliva -- Thank you for the quickie and a chance to help my alliance with
my death.  My very big friend is coming to see you. -- Ser Delarq
P.S.  Nice big brite perky in your face lites! -- Ghost of Ser Delarq

D.K. Heathen -- Sent diplo last turn.  Will do all that I can to see you back in
first.  I will focus on Initiates in contest.  What's going on with the rest of the
DK? -- D.K. Goat

La Pent -- Thank you for the welcome. -- D.K. Goat

Bleak Legion -- Things look bad!  Don't quit.  Dark Knight Toker will stop spanking
your big fat cheeks once you realize he is your better.  I promise!  (grin) -- Dark
Knight Goat

Lady Fern -- The Great and Mighty Oz is just amazing.  His skill and his positive
gaming personality are traits we should all try and emulate at all times.  Hail the
Oz!  The Desolate Empire will only visit "The Flower Shoppe" in all regions. -- Dark
Knight Goat

D.K. Toker -- Do you wish to be the hammer or the nail in this upcoming battle?  Sent
snail mail.  Have started propaganda effort to soften Maxi defeat. -- Dark Knight
Goat

Yes, Holly, I must say that the heat was horrid.  I hope that with your successful
business you re going to put some AC in your place.  And Iris, thanks and congrats
for your nice team work. -- Aubin, powersmashed

Yes, beautiful Lady, we didn't scream loud enough....  Perhaps you're a bit too high
to hear us now...but we will scream again anyway. -- Le Pentarque and his team

Toker -- I agree, you should keep the prizes for the teams who stayed....  50 fights
could be a minimum? -- Le Pentarque

Welcome, Blackstorm!  Kill some people here too...not mine, if you can.

Thanks, Whosyourdaddy, and good luck to you.... -- Pas de Quartier

Insolent Iris -- Would you say that I was intimidated if I said that I would pay
anything to be in your company? -- Daishar

Dragon Clone -- There's only enough room in this arena for one Dragonmaster.  That's
me. -- Turak, mgr. Dark Dragons

Lady Fern -- You are a sarcastic yet feisty one, aren't you? -- Turak

Heathen -- Thank you for the congratulations.  It was a tough job, but it needed to
be done.  I hope that I won't have to unleash my fury on you. -- Aydindril

Thedebowtorc -- Point well taken, I should say.  Don't you think so? -- Azrith

Maximillian -- You're right, we have matched a few times in tourneys.  You have a
knight's salute from me. -- Lord Jon Snow, Bronze Knights

Maximillian -- You can get a reluctant salute from me as well.  At least you're
vocal, win, lose, or draw.  More than I can say for the rest of your mates though.
While I grudgingly respect your skill and style, you should probably be careful with
those you call allies.  From what I've seen, you may be too vocal for them.  Usually

they like to wait for ten turns or so before saying anything.  Hammer spoke too soon,
and you see what happened to him--dropped like a hot potato!  So let's get down to
business and here's mud in your eye! -- Wasby the Great

All -- Missed a few turns, but I'm back for the duration.  Had to work out a bargain
with Osiris; it's not easy besting a god! -- Wasby the Great

Sensei Jan -- Why hi there (waves happily), I'm Wasby the Great.  You know, the one
you meant when you talked about teams going inactive except you didn't (or were
fraid-ey to) use names.  Let's say it together now:  W-A-S-B-Y, Wasby.  The Great.
Of course you'll probably be calling me papi soon.  You may not love me yet, but I
promise to be faithful.  If I whip others I don't mean it, I really love you!  Not
sure if you only write P-ads every ten turns or so (yes, that was you I was referring
to in the above p-ad), but if you want to don't be skaird to use names o.k.  You ARE
a big girl, right? -- W-A-(aww, you know the rest by now)

V.C., Vendetta Cartel, Bolo-heads, whatever -- This means the rest of you too.  I'm
sure there are several of you creeping around waiting for your ten turns to be up.
Well, whenever you decide to chime in, I'll be right here, my little weotches! -- Mr.
Great to you cowards

V.ocal C.owards -- Before I forget, this is Mr. Great challenging any and all of you.
Since I know how you wieners like to pass the buck, here I go:  This means you Maxi-
pad, Sissy-Jan, Fizban the Fool, Skaird-ey Kat, Flaming Hawk, Jimbo Jumbo or Dumbo
(whatever), Master Darquepuss, and any and all of the rest of my little girls I may
have missed.  Don't know all your names.  You are VOCAL COWARDS after all.  THIS
MEANS YOU.  COME GET SOME OF THIS!!! -- Mr. Great (yes, me), Bronze Knights (587)

All not D.E. or V.C. -- I hope you still love me. -- Wasby the Great

D.E. -- Before I forget, this is turn 220.  From now on, we're keeping track.  Make
sure they know who you are, we don't hide.  We'll post a running total every turn, so
step it up! -- Wasby

Lady Fern -- I think I'll just take you up on that offer, I've heard about your
girls.
P.S.  I mentioned to your brother Curator over in Arkers that I'd seen you, he says
you're the old one. -- Maximillian

La Pentarque -- Thank you, slow arenas aren't the same without you. -- Maximillian

Ottos' Parts -- We share what five, six arenas now.  Are you omnipresent? --
Maximillian

Heathen Hatebread -- My lack of results on the sands!?!?!  Maybe you should check
your facts boy, look around Alastari for my teams.  This just happens to be my Zalcon
team with 10 DA fights on it.  Gonna make you choke on those words, boy. --
Maximillian

Bloodeagle -- C'mon, show me what you've got, or are you guys all talk. --
Maximillian

Sensei Jan -- Wouldn't miss it Jan, wouldn't miss it. -- Maximillian and Isn't it
Obvious

Toker -- Are the VC bullets blanks?!?!  I don't know why don't you ask your boys that
I've buried. In fact didn't I just bury one here a few turns ago and 3 or 4 of you in
47 in TW4. -- Maximillian

Pulled Hamstring -- Must have been your injury that slowed you down. -- Whosyourdaddy

Azrith -- Shouldn't have changed things, now let's try that for the rubber. --
Thedebowtovc

Darek Olrock -- You're gonna need a bigger sticker if you're trying to impress me,
honey. -- Imtoosexy

Lauderdale -- Hate doing that to a mate, sorry dude, sucks! -- Bushsuckstoadie

Astral Dragon -- Your kind are easy prey, you wouldn't be DE would you. --
Slayingdeisfun

Lady Fern, Dark Knights, et all -- Hello there.  'Tis I, your oh-so-ever-loveable
Kat, bringing yet another collection of minions for your entertainment.  Let me
introduce 'Selected Eclectic' consisting of Tud, Ratso, Snort, Zhone, and the ever-
popular Beta.  They'll tirelessly endeavor to bring honor to their new home of
Fratsfa.  I trust you'll each do your very best to make them feel welcome. -- The

D.K. Heathen -- You already know what the "V"ainglorius "C"owards are all about.  If 
the ones showing up actually announce who they are, SMASH 'EM!  Remember though, they
will only announce that they are vc if their team starts to win, with the exception
of M. Darque who usually identifies himself by team name.  The rest will probably
stay hidden in the bushes as they should while in our presence. -- Dark Knight Toker

D.K. Wasby -- It was very wise of Osiris to relinquish your body back into your power
now that we have a budding war upon our heads.  I made sure that he was given only
the best of our young sacrificial acolytes at Desolate Temple.  Now focus on these
lames with the tearstained cheeks and teach them that longevity doesn't pass for
skill.  It is a good day now that you are back amongst us as you should be. -- Dark
Knight Toker

Dark Knight Blackstorm -- Sent you a return email, and a letter is en route.  It is
wonderful to know that you will be here as well as the other "WAR ZONES!"  Handle
business and let's enjoy taking it to them.  This is what it's all about. -- Dark
Knight Toker

All contest entrants -- Looks like the contest will run 16 turns.  Due to myself
being lost in dates, I made a boo-boo and gave the wrong turn number and date.  I
will not change it back as everyone now is expecting it to end on T-222.  However,
for the Stamina award to be good, it will be whichever teams have 67+ fights by T-
221.  Since this contest was based on a total of 75 fights and not 80 that it has
become.  Again my apologies.  I will state the final turn and date at the beginning
of the contest so there will not be any room for error in the next Quest.  Thank you
all for your understanding. -- Your co-host Toker
P.S.  I am planning on running this contest on or around T-228.  Let me know if this
sounds good to everyone. There will also be a rough draft of the new rules and
scoring system following this.

All -- Here is the rough draft for the next contest!  The rules I feel should be left
the same.  I feel they are simple yet restrict managers from making our contest a
"Scum" fest!  As for the scoring formula, I have read all suggestions and have come
up with the following as my proposed scoring formula:
	Wins + Kills -- Losses = Base Score
	Base Score + Variant Score = Total Score
	Base Score Pts:
	Win = +1
	Kill = +1
	Loss = -1

	Variant Score Pts:
	Scout Win = +2
	Scout Loss = -2
	Scout Kill = +3 (cannot be claimed via 10 pt. + downchallenge)
	Scout Death = -3
	Cahmpion Win = +3
	Champion Loss = -3
	Champion Kill = +5 (cannot be claimed via 10 pt. + downchallenge)
	Champion Death = -5
	Style Master = +1
	Duelmaster = +1
	Current Top Team = +3
	Most Avoiding Team as in newsletter = -5
	Successful Bloodfeud = +2
	Failed B.F. = -2
	Highest Upchallenge = +5 (as stated in newsletter)
	Largest Downchallenge = -5 (as stated in newsletter)
	Keep the bonus pts for a minimum five paragraph history.  I, too, feel like the
lovely Lady Fern.  If you're serious, then write.  It is easy and everyone is an
equal in that aspect.  That is all for now.  Please comment on this as I want
everyone to have a say so we all can enjoy it and attract many more for the next one.
Thanks! -- Toker, Contest Co-Host

Vendetta Cartel -- I don't know which one of you lames wrote that all arena ad, due
to the fact that it wasn't signed.  All it is is more running of the neck.  I have
never seen any of you lames win anything, and you have been an alliance far longer
than us.  So save the B.S.!  It only sounds good to people who don't know any better.
So all of you know we will be in three primary arenas to punish you:  31, 47 and here
in 52.  Now on to some more B.S., who if any are in Mordant?  I am currently fighting
in the Olympiad with my alliancemate Osiris and have not seen any vc.  Are you all
just putting down arenas that one of you fought in years ago?  I would think you
would list all active arenas.  I guess that it doesn't really matter as we will see
you where we see you.  So any of you who want to know, I am personally active every
turn in:  DM-1, 18, 31, 47, 52 and 104.  I also fight on a fairly regular basis in 21
and here and there in 59.  So I am not hard to find. -- Dark Knight Toker, Silver
Knights (361) DM-52; Vincere Aut Mori DM 1, 18, 31 and 104; Desolate Temple DM-1;
Equites Virtus DM-21 and Smoke Out!!! DM-47

D.K. Heathen -- You should have received that gift to make things a little less
tight!  (grin)  Let me know! -- D.K. Toker

Sensei Jan -- Now that you're out of the closet, I have a feeling you won't be
enjoying the same success you have been against the newer managers and teams that you
have been challenging in abundance of late.  Real veteran like of you! -- Dark Knight
Toker

Max -- I see more of the vc lackeys have shown up.  Who is who?  Or will they also
remain silent if or when they have some luck and field a passable team!  If you don't
jest, you at least should laugh a lot since you're the biggest joke around here.
(evil grin) -- Dark Knight Toker

Heathen -- So by your definition, maybe you're a double agent.  What you defined as
qualities of a "VC member" basically mirrors your actions so far here in Fratsfa.  As
far as inferring that there was any other reason than the points for the bloodfeuds,
if I want an easy win I'll just challenge any one of your warriors.... -- Ghab/
Assassin Nation

Kykenstienburg -- You make a good practice dummy for me and my brethren.  Keep up the
good work! -- Severity

Psychosis -- Man, can you take a lot of damage!  Any one of those shots I landed on
you would drop an ox, yet there you stood.... -- Mayhem

Brain Tumour -- Wow!  I threw about twice as many attacks with that strategy than I
normally do.  Generally, I last about 8+ minutes and can finish of a TP in that time.
The extra attacks cost me those extra minutes I needed.  Way to last it out.... --
Vicious

Fratsfa -- I thought I mentioned this earlier, but with Cauliflower Ears having
graduated, Fat Lip should be the replacement for Otto's Parts Scout/Champion,
whichever one Brain Tumour isn't. -- Crip, mgr. of Otto's Parts

11 August 2006
All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights!  If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light!  We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)!  Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light
