     Hail ROCANIS!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as GRIZZLED VETERANS! is 
pushed out of top team by CREDIT, who came from 2nd with a 2-1-1 this turn.  And 
let's see, LOVING IT fought KUNG-FU MASTER and gained 10 points and contributed to 
FAVORITE SAYINGS' 1-0-0.  DEAD COLLECTOR has lost to HOUSTON FARMER, falling 9 
points, while helping make KNIGHTS OF NI a 0-4-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone the 
Duelmaster have failed, and XYIM remains ROCANIS' top warrior for another turn.  Tell 
me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Mylar's uses 
trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  KNIGHTS OF NI has cause to stand tall, 
as they were ROCANIS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And guess who avoided KNIGHTS OF NI stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was CREDIT.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that HOUSTON FARMER 
from MIDDLE WAY 20 was ROCANIS' most challenged warrior this turn.  In a brave 
attempt, SIR GAWAINE from KNIGHTS OF NI challenged up 22 points to fight ELIN GALLIO 
from the MIDDLE WAY 20 stable.  SIR GAWAINE perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as 
it was beat by ELIN GALLIO and ended up with 57 recognition points.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or 
hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ROCANIS and I've a long road ahead of 
me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the 
Scribe

Houston Farmer, I know; I know. You guys with cash on hand out the wasu have always 
mistrusted credit. Thankfully you are in the minority on both counts. -- Amex (nothing

got more experience at losing.... -- Isam Korl
