Endu Endu Dulmastr SPY REPORT Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ERINIKA this turn, and let's start with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, RUBY PENDANT fought VESSEL OF DEATH and gained 14 points and contributed to FAMILY JEWELS' 3-1-0. VESSEL OF DEATH has lost to RUBY PENDANT, falling 7 points, while helping make DARK RUNES a 2-2-0 turn. We should ask APPLE DANISH about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Dripping Blade? He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the DUDS stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ERINIKA, what are you afraid of? And avoiding DUDS more than any other team we find THE BULLS. ERINIKA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME APPLE DANISH 5247 9 2 0 86 WORLDWIDE GORE (36) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -VINNIE THE TUSH 2122 2 0 0 164 MAFIA DUDES (229) -BULL FROG 4547 16 7 0 129 THE BULLS (43) -MONGOL HORDE 4001 14 8 3 124 WORLDWIDE GORE (36) -RED HOT CHILE PAPA 3358 22 13 1 113 WORLDWIDE GORE (36) -YANKEE DOODLE 3605 21 19 0 107 WORLDWIDE GORE (36) -BULL MARKET 4124 22 10 1 103 THE BULLS (43) -CROSS CZECH 4008 14 14 2 98 WORLDWIDE GORE (36) -EUROPEAN HAND BULL 3099 18 11 0 91 THE BULLS (43) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SILVER BULL ION 5149 9 3 1 91 THE BULLS (43) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -HARI-KARI 3049 10 4 0 79 WAY TO GO!
