     Hail BLACKSTONE!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this morning?  ROOKIES STYX 
19 has turned a 2-0-0 into 3rd place from 14th.  Give me the recipe!  I want to know 
who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Dripping Blade, seeing as APRIL 
MAIL-IN 14S' 9-17-0 has earned them 6th place in the ranks.  I understand that The 
Dripping Blade is buying the drinks for 102ND DIRE LANCERS tonight, to honor their 
rise to 8th after this turns 1-0-0.  Hmmm.  Now, what did these guys have for 
breakfast this morning?  ROOKIE QUEEN 29 has turned a 1-0-0 into 14th place from 
25th.  Give me the recipe!  Our condolences (or sneers, as the case may be) go out to 
ROOKIE QUEEN 11 for their drop to 24th from 13th.  A 0-1-0 can do that.  DARKHEART 
DUNGEON must be either in pain, or numb, having dropped from 6th to 25th this turn, 
with a 0-2-0 acting as the weight.  And let's see, JUSTICE FOR ALL fought A.O.C. and 
gained 29 points and contributed to ROOKIE METALLICA 1's 1-0-0.  ENTER SANDMAN has 
lost to XABI, falling 13 points, while helping make ROOKIE METALLICA 8 a 0-1-0 turn.  
The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ASTROSMASH remains 
BLACKSTONE's top warrior for another turn.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I 
hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Dripping Blade until 
they win.  Maybe?   
     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 WARRIORS 11 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on BLACKSTONE, what are you afraid 
of?  And avoiding WARRIORS 11 more than any other team we find 102ND DIRE LANCERS.  
BLACKSTONE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports 
fans, take notice that HTN from ERRFIVE was BLACKSTONE's most challenged warrior this 
turn.  Building dreams on hope, MORGANOR challenged up 37 points this turn to take on 
WHISTLER from SUPERIOR FORCES 72 stable.  And now nobody knows where WHISTLER is 
right now, after giving MORGANOR 19 points worth of recognition.  As quiet chuckles 
rise behind me.  In a brave attempt, MINION from DARKHEART DUNGEON challenged up 25 
points to fight PROPHET'S SONG from the ROOKIE QUEEN 29 stable.  MINION perhaps got 
his just desserts, seeing as he was beat by PROPHET'S SONG and ended up with 75 
recognition points.   
     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.   
     I like this place, BLACKSTONE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in BLACKSTONE and 
I've a long road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen 
sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
