Well, Kit-Kat, what have you got to say for yourself this time? Being chocolate-coated is still not enough. Delores P.S. Hmmm, speaking of chocolate-covered, where are those peanut clusters? SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, JURINE? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, FAVORITE GUYS, since BLADE AND BLOOD took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see CRAZY LARRY win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, CRAZY LARRY beat RANDY and RANDY lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, JURINE may be getting bland, as DELORES 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, JURINE? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? There's got to be a better place in JURINE to get a drink than The Warty Toad! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of JURINE. I feel much better now.

Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads. *************************************************************************** This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have, hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills.
