Thanks, Kaldan. As expected, I am off to retirement. But don't worry, I will still carry the Evangelist title wherever I go. I may not be working, either as a gladiator or a telemarketer, but both jobs aren't what you call fun. In the former, you are risking life and limb and in the latter you face rejection the vast majority of the time. The commission ranks me as 4(1)-10-11-15-15-9-21 AB Poor/Little with favorites of MO/VL SH Lunge Tactic and riposte learn. My skills are also very unimpressive at 11/18/28/13/13/16. Just enough attack to get past Kaldan's defenses and just enough defense to protect against his attacks. Assur says I have to fight in the Dark Arena. Going to try and stay away from the resurrection business. -- NoCallListExemption SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. 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. SAND DANCERS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for MALACHITE, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing GORBAN TEN SKORA like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. GORBAN TEN SKORA was bested by MALACHITE and drops 13 points. Unlike most arenas, NOCALLLISTEXEMPTION managed to get his challenge off against the 0-0-0 SARZINA THE BRIGHT. The crowds were amazed this turn, as SARZINA THE BRIGHT killed the Duelmaster, NOCALLLISTEXEMPTION, leaving BASH BROS EVANGELIST in mourning. This incredible death has allowed, I might add, KALDAN TEN KARAN from SAND DANCERS to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the DAL SHANG arena. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad MEDAL OF HONOR C11? Big bad MEDAL OF HONOR C11. Big bad MEDAL OF HONOR C11. DAL SHANG's afraid of the big bad MEDAL OF HONOR C11. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one: MEDAL OF HONOR C11 + Weapons That go Boom = BASH BROS EVANGELIST + Avoid City. 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. I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KALDAN TEN KARAN 7205 25 18 0 102 SAND DANCERS (233) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DRIVING A ROLLS 7068 11 39 1 83 BASH BROS EVANGELIST (733) STAR RUBY 7281 8 2 1 75 TOLBIN'S GEMS (749) SERGEANT 7 7273 6 2 1 74 MEDAL OF HONOR C11 (748) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FIRE OPAL 7280 7 3 0 61 TOLBIN'S GEMS (749) MALACHITE 7283 7 3 1 58 TOLBIN'S GEMS (749) SFC 3 7272 7 0 0 58 MEDAL OF HONOR C11 (748) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ABITA 7289 6 1 0 56 MMM BEER (750) GORBAN TEN SKORA 7249 12 16 1 53 SAND DANCERS (233) CITRINE 7279 7 3 0 43 TOLBIN'S GEMS (749) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HEMATITE 7282 4 5 0 31 TOLBIN'S GEMS (749) SERGEANT 8 7271 5 3 0 25 MEDAL OF HONOR C11 (748) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MATTHEW HALE 7323 2 0 1 23 BASH BROS EVANGELIST (733) AN YEE 7296 2 5 1 22 SAND DANCERS (233) -RANM 7300 1 0 0 19 GRIZZLED VETERANS (751) CARLOS MENCIN 6875 1 1 0 17 COMEDY CENTRAL (725) KARANZA THE WILD 7311 2 1 0 11 SAND DANCERS (233) -BUD 7287 1 0 0 6 MMM BEER (750) SERGEANT 1 7309 1 1 0 4 MEDAL OF HONOR C11 (748) TONY ALAMO 7322 1 1 0 4 BASH BROS EVANGELIST (733) NORBEN THE LESSER 7310 0 3 0 3 SAND DANCERS (233) -LEINIE 7288 0 1 0 1 MMM BEER (750) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
