Is sad day, comrades. Is time for Bad Borscht to saying, "do svidaniya." Isle has called and is time for me to go. They so impressed with way I crush Ingrat they say no need for me to stay. They no think I should use scimitar. They say battle axe better for me. Fools! I CRUSH THEM!!!! Scimitar good enough to crush Shadowspire, good enough for me. I must go now. You lucky. Do svidaniya. Bad Borscht SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of SHADOWSPIRE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. If this keeps up, OF WOLF AND MAN, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 6 in the rankings? CULT OF BACCHUS turned their 4-1-0 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Now let's all watch SOME KINDA HATE's heads swell from their 3-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see MR BLUE win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MR BLUE beat LORD PEMBROKE and LORD PEMBROKE lost 17 points. You're breakin' my heart. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster SANTA CLAUS challenged this turn. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as SANTA CLAUS takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Dripping Blade, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From SHADOWSPIRE's trash dumps? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? FURRY FURY was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like CULT OF BACCHUS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. AXEL VON SPIRE was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, CAEDMON was challenged by EYE OF THE DEEP, who was ranked 39 points below him. And, oof! EYE OF THE DEEP saw stars around his helmet, after losing the fight, and disappointing the crowds, I might add. I guess I can give a little credit to STALKER COONE of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS for challenging up by 25 to OSIRUS. STALKER COONE lost to get 3 points of recognition. Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for SHADOWSPIRE's morgue. More variety. Gee, OF WOLF AND MAN, ain't it past due for sending MOROS Dark Arena? What took ol' '4-7-1' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha! A big yahoo goes out to GORSHOK this turn, for revenging SOME KINDA HATE's bloodfeud against WARMASTERS' warrior SEJANUS. Heh, heh, heh. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. There's got to be a better place in SHADOWSPIRE to get a drink than The Dripping Blade! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.

He was +2 ATT and +4 DEF, though I'd had hope for some PAR bonus (certainly am not complaining)! The faves were less than stellar. According to the Commission, Caedmon likes the SS, along with a LO/VL rhythm. He also really likes the Parry tactic and learns Parry skills. Eh, the parry parts aren't so bad for his style. He is off to AD 100 for future considerations. I won't be sending him to the Dark Arena on his last turn in Shadowspire, so everyone feel free to get one last shot in on him before his grand send-off. -- Master Darque Axel Von Spire -- If I'm the level of competition you must stoop to in order to get a win, you're not going to last very long here. -- Barbarossa Erekose -- Well, that is one for the scrapbook! I've had my fair share of wins by exhausting the opponent, but I've never had the good pleasure of doing it to one of your ilk. -- Caedmon Santa Claus -- I thought you were supposed to be jolly and spread good cheer? There was nothing jolly or good about our fight. Was it because I'm Jewish? -- Maimonides Gamble -- We meet again. The Commission did not receive Darque's orders in a timely fashion, so my training regimen was lost in the bureaucratic quagmire. A turn wasted, but at the same time enjoyable because I won! -- Vlad Tepes Manglor -- Merci for the win and the rating (+2)! -- Guy De Chaulic Could be an interesting turn!

There often was, but surely not now? Alarond the Scribe, who had drawn office duty today, frowned at them. A stocky, fit, moderately handsome gladiator stepped up to the counter. "I want a name-change," he said. "How can I do my best known as," he shuddered, "'Dangling Eyeball'? My name is Joe, and I want to use it." A small and very shapely woman stepped up beside him. "And I am really tired of being known as 'DA Bait'." She smiled, causing Alarond to sway where he stood. "I'd like to be known as... Aphrodite, I think." The others crowded forward, each advancing a claim, the babble of voice rising to a roar, the crowd beginning to look like a mob--and every member of it armed and dangerous. Alarond raised his hands to quiet them, without much success. He raised his voice, too. "We'll do it! A Name-Change-O-Rama, as soon as we can get the paperwork lined up! Two or three months, maybe--" The gladiators howled in protest at the delay. "No, listen! The files here are HUGE, it will take time to get everything straight. You've got to be patient. It WILL happen!" * * * * * Warrior and team name changes will be accepted during the month of January. If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
