So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the difference, as KILLER BLUES is pushed out of top team by BASHAHOLICS ANON, who came from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. The BASHAHOLICS ANON guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, LADY BO fought VISCIOUS and gained 18 points and contributed to KILLER BLUES' 1-3-0. VISCIOUS has lost to LADY BO, falling 17 points, while helping make IMPROVED ILLUSION a 2-3-0 turn. We should ask SUBSTITUTION about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Swinging Aardvark? He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the IMPROVED ILLUSION stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ILLIS, what are you afraid of? And avoiding IMPROVED ILLUSION more than any other team we find NEXUS 5. ILLIS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that HARBOR SEAL from ISLANDERS was ILLIS' most challenged warrior this turn. The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. I like this place, ILLIS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in ILLIS and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails.
