I doubt JURINE will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference, as BLACK PEARL is pushed out of top team by FAVORITE GUYS, who came from 2nd with a 1-3-0 this turn. And let's see, KIT-KAT fought AFFLICTED and gained 29 points and contributed to ARENA FELINES' 2-0-0. KETA has lost to CONVICTED ASSASSIN, falling 17 points, while helping make FAVORITE GUYS a 1-3-0 turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, STONE DOG has lost the title of Duelmaster. We should ask AFFLICTED about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dripping Blade uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the BLACK PEARL stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on JURINE, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided BLACK PEARL stable the most? Believe it or not, it was PATRIOTIC. Anyone surprised? A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. Is it really true that JURINE has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask... Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AFFLICTED 2494 24 15 0 103 FEAR FACTORY (216) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -STONE DOG 2894 16 8 0 106 BLACK PEARL (330) KIT-KAT 3128 14 14 2 97 ARENA FELINES (341) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MUDVAYNE 3039 10 5 0 76 FEAR FACTORY (216) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KETA 3328 16 11 0 66 FAVORITE GUYS (186) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RANDY 3360 7 2 0 47 FAVORITE GUYS (186) -M.C.
