Hey everybody, watch out for INANNA, who flew up 26 points in the rankings after mashing PICKLES like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. PICKLES was defeated by INANNA and drops 17 points. In front of all the crowds, FARGO HAIL took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the VALAMANTIS arena. Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster. Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in VALAMANTIS have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FARGO HAIL 4530 15 7 0 92 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JERANS LA'ROC 4501 18 15 2 87 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) JIMEMMA LOCA 4523 15 11 0 71 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NATHAN 4552 7 5 3 55 DETHKLOT (450) INANNA 4558 4 1 0 52 TOKEN ENTRY (207) -THE PLAGUE 4533 3 3 0 51 DISASTERS (448) SQUIZGOR 4553 8 4 0 45 DETHKLOT (450) KARN FIREVALE 1447 4 1 1 45 TOKEN ENTRY (207) GILFMET IVERS 4568 3 0 0 34 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PICKLES 4550 8 4 1 33 DETHKLOT (450) MURDER FACE 4551 6 6 3 31 DETHKLOT (450) NORMANFNBATES 4567 2 0 0 27 TOKEN ENTRY (207) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME POKEY 4566 2 1 1 23 TOKEN ENTRY (207) -ELEPHANT 4564 1 1 0 5 TOKEN ENTRY (207) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Sorry we weren't there to help last time.-- Action and Co. Okay. Now where did we put that Duelmaster... Really, the Commission is just too hidebound! I simply lost to the Venomous Concubine, an aberrant moment for both of us, and because that dropped me ONE POINT below two of my teammates (who were tied, the silly fools), I lose the title to Position Is Empty! This is ridiculous. -- JimEmma Loca Nathan -- If either you or Land Slide who fought Jerans had been just a BIT more flashy, so that one or the other of us had gotten an extra point of recognition, *I* might be the duelmaster! Or Jerans, of course, but he has no need of the title, he's been there before already. -- Fargo Hail P.S. Still, not bad for an inexperienced pointy-eared shrimp. Ghost of Land Slide -- I hadn't expected the retaining wall to have QUITE that dramatic a result. But you were way too high in the rankings, or we wouldn't have been mis-matched in the first place, you know. -- Jerans La'Roc Merendies Skoridos of Mordant, Conscientious Objector -- Yeah, right. -- Gilfmet Ivers 26 July 2010 Some managers have attempted to send personals and columns to hal, and hal has been refusing to acknowledge their content. I don't know what hal's problem is, specifically, but for best success, send PLAIN TEXT (dot txt) in the body of the email. Not attachments. Thank you. -- the Editor LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS FARGO HAIL devastated VENOMOUS CONCUBINE in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. JIMEMMA LOCA lost to KUNG-FU MASTER in a action packed 1 minute battle. JERANS LA'ROC demolished NATHAN in a 1 minute uneven fight. PICKLES was devastated by INANNA in a 1 minute one-sided contest. MURDER FACE was overpowered by KARN FIREVALE in a 1 minute mismatched match. GILFMET IVERS slimly won victory over POKEY in a 2 minute bloody novice's duel. SQUIZGOR overpowered FRATSFA SLAVE in a 1 minute mismatched brawl. NORMANFNBATES overpowered EMBEZZLING SCRIBE in a 1 minute uneven melee.
