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 WEEZER, who flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing KORKA THE HAIRY like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. PURR LI was defeated by SAGAT OF PAIDAN and drops 6 points. The most challenged warrior this week was POPCORN. If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids! GAMMA VELORUM got through to the Duelmaster this turn. No doubt he was more than anxious to kick POPCORN's tail out of the throne! Our battling duelmaster POPCORN has managed to hold the title, fending off GAMMA VELORUM's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, VELA. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! 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 THAT SMELL? Big bad THAT SMELL. Big bad THAT SMELL. DAL SHANG's afraid of the big bad THAT SMELL. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause VELA beats feet every time THAT SMELL smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DAL SHANG 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. 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 POPCORN 7488 27 12 0 149 THAT SMELL (760) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GAMMA VELORUM 7502 10 7 1 102 VELA (766) -KAPPA VELORUM 7501 10 4 1 101 VELA (766) ORANGE PEEL 7656 16 3 0 94 THAT SMELL (760) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MIASMA 7405 3 0 0 63 THAT SMELL (760) -GO CART MOZART 7637 6 3 2 60 BY THE LIGHT (776) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LEAPIN LIZARD 7654 12 11 0 53 SAND DANCERS (233) MO STANK 7692 5 3 0 41 THAT SMELL (760) BUMBLEFINGER 7655 8 14 1 39 SAND DANCERS (233) WEEZER 7693 5 5 0 39 SAND DANCERS (233) PURR LI 7697 4 2 0 35 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DIM LI 7698 4 2 0 28 SAND DANCERS (233) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -PHI VELORUM 7699 0 2 0 2 VELA (766) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Insurance never does any good. -- Bumblefinger Just because he lost so nicely, maybe I'll buy something from Dengan the Trader. If he's got anything I want. -- Purr Li Actually, I'm not sure I've seen more formidable foes in the bath. I'm having trouble picturing Feltar of Illis in a bath at all. Makes the comparison hard. -- Weezer So there! I can defeat a standby. If anyone wondered. -- Dim Li LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GAMMA VELORUM was unbelievably bested by POPCORN in a 5 minute Challenge Title fight.
