Later days, MIDDLE WAY 10, since THE BEARS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BLUE BUTTERFLY win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, KUNG-FU MASTER beat DARIMA FENN and DARIMA FENN lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, VALAMANTIS may be getting bland, as TRAIN WRECK stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. VALAMANTIS, I am losing what little hope I had in you. MIDDLE WAY 10 the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like THE BEARS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. ALTA CHESS was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. 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 VALAMANTIS to get a drink than Drunkard's Guild! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of VALAMANTIS. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TRAIN WRECK 4121 12 9 1 125 THE BEARS (268) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DIO 3336 11 8 0 100 MIDGETS (356) BENSI DURN 4141 26 14 1 95 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ALTA CHESS 4137 18 22 0 87 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) RELENTLESS 4148 9 6 0 80 THE BEARS (268) DOC FELLE 4139 17 23 1 75 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) -JOE C 3331 12 10 0 74 MIDGETS (356) DARIMA FENN 4177 10 6 0 73 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLUE BUTTERFLY 3642 2 0 0 66 MIKE'S INK (380) -BILBO 3763 5 0 0 64 MIDGETS (356) EB GOLLU 4138 10 30 0 60 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TATTOO 3334 9 11 1 39 MIDGETS (356) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -THE BIG 'OH' 3734 1 0 0 15 DIAMONDS IN THE RUFF (386) SUBWAY 4188 1 0 0 13 PUBLIC TRANSIT (418) -TYRION 3764 1 0 0 10 MIDGETS (356) -COOPER 3850 1 2 0 5 MIKE'S INK (380) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I suppose I can see the point, as you know that we, at least, will be there at the crossing. But it hurts! -- Darima Fenn Bilbo -- Ah, but you're head and shoulders above your kind. -- Eb Gollu Relentless -- I noticed. -- Alta Chess, not one for relenting either Ah, Veteran Mercenary. What, I wonder, did I do to deserve his unkindness? After all, when I was working in the Infirmary I COULD have amputated his arm for that hangnail, but I didn't. -- Doc Felle I'd heard they ran out of dwarves in Khalhums (too many shipped off to the arenas around Alastari, I suppose), but I hadn't realized it was this bad. Ours isn't even a dwarf at all, much less from Khalhums. -- Bensi Durn 27 June 2005 ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE: For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them), you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance, Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever- more-complicated lists 29 Jun 2005 The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
