     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Managers were muttering after ROOKIE STYX 2 
showed BLACKSTONE what they could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 13.  Perhaps it is ROOKIE 
HALEN 32 members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 33rd to 19th last 
week...  (Less time in the sun...) Practice pays for LIVE WIRE, who pummelled CHRIS 
CARR, to pocket 28 points.  CHRIS CARR certainly had a baffled expression on his 
face, after losing to LIVE WIRE and losing 22 points in the process!  What can be a 
greater victory?  SERGEANT 2 has taken his place as the top, as BLACKSTONE's new 
Duelmaster.  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and 
ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     And how sociable are BLACKSTONE's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Is it charming 
personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, KEEP 
YOURSELF ALIVE is the most challenged warrior.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Q:  What's a 
record like 14-10-0 get you?  A:  A free trip to the Dark Arena!  This week's winner: 
KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE of ROOKIE QUEEN 6!  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it 
slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As the seasons change, and the creatures of the 
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Like a mixed 
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid BLACKSTONE farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
