Wow! I really did not expect to be up here for a little while. I expect it will be short lived, unless JE has more tourney bad luck. I don't know what Toe was complaining about, these parades are tons of fun! This really wasn't the way I wanted to end up sitting up here, but I will take it and enjoy the perch while it lasts. Nikala, your reigning Rocanis Duelmaster SPY REPORT Welcome ROCANIS. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! BAD APPLES were a bunch of dogs after ELEVENTH HOUR got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! ELEVENTH HOUR is now ranked 1st with a 3-2-0 turn. Welcome to ROCANIS, BERSERKERS! We need more teams who can get a 4-1-1 their first time out! What's with UNTAMED MIME? She actually beat ROCANIS' MAGE'S APPRENTICE, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at ELEVENTH HOUR while they watched PRESTON clobber FORLUITHA. She lost 16 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try as he might, DALE wasn't good enough at persuading NIKALA to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... 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... How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, BAD APPLES! In my day, no team with a 410-560-14 would scare me off! What's the problem, RESCUE RANGERS? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, ALDALDON! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. A warrior can't stick around with a 9-7-0, and ALDALDON easily took care of BENT. MICHELLE, with hers forgettable 10-11-1, was killed by GODGET in a forgettable match. ELEVENTH HOUR didn't seem to mind very much. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.
