DM 73 ERINIKA (turn 228): SQUEEZE of BLACKMAIL (The Mun, mgr.) SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, DAL SHANG? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, SAND DANCERS, since SERPENTS HOLD took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, CASTAWAYS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see HARLEQUIN win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, HARLEQUIN beat HARITH TEN MORU and HARITH TEN MORU lost 16 points. You're breakin' my heart. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster LOEKER SMITH challenged this turn. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as LOEKER SMITH takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. 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, DAL SHANG? He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. SAND DANCERS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was SERPENTS HOLD. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, LOEKER SMITH was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for DAL SHANG's morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? There's got to be a better place in DAL SHANG to get a drink than The Blazing Unicorn! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!
