     Well, what are you looking at, VALAMANTIS?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, MISSISSIPPI BLUES, since 
DARK AGES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If this keeps up, 
MISSISSIPPI BLUES, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 7 in 
the rankings?  ASSASSINS turned their 5-0-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in the 
listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Of course, 
we're all terribly impressed to see POUNDER win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. 
Tsk, tsk, THE DRUID beat DUCKY ONE and DUCKY ONE lost 9 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, VALAMANTIS may be getting bland, as 
EMBER LION stays top dog in the city.  Drake's Lodge, humph!  I've tasted better ale 
at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From VALAMANTIS' trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  
MISSISSIPPI BLUES, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided 
team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And who led the way in this mass 
act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was DARK AGES.  Ha ha ha ha!  
DUCKY ONE was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM 
insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  And we have AQUALUNG in a challenge, going down 9 
points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought AQUALUNG showed great skill and promise 
when he was beat by SWINDLER.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in VALAMANTIS to get a drink than Drake's 
Lodge!  Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so 
nice!  So nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide 
Clemens
