Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. STRIKER FORCE now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for MERCURY, who flew up 28 points in the rankings after mashing STIR IKE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was STIR IKE, who dropped 34 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with MERCURY. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was STRIKER FORCE's BASHER FORCE, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by NADA NADS. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid STRIKER FORCE, please raise you hand. Wow. Does VALAMANTIS really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch CM - SCORPIO's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from STRIKER FORCE. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, VENUS would be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win. In a mismatch, our friend ANANGRY9YEAROLD of GAMERTAGS got heroic notions and challenged VENUS. What did it get him? A 5-2-1 record, that's what. Trading many whacks on the head and a loss for 7 recognition points, ANANGRY9YEAROLD shows that a guy doesn't have to be good to get places. Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. 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. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.
