I'm baaaaack. Ugh. I have to write a column so soon after the tourney? Well, suffice it to say: it's going to be short. Oh...maybe I can get that AI thingy to write it for me. In the dim glow of twilight, the Black Bulldog and his foe faced each other, eyes ablaze with fierce determination. Each wielded a gleaming sword, their movements calculated, muscles coiled like springs. With a clash of steel, they lunged and parried, a dance of combat in the moon's watchful gaze. Their breaths came in hot bursts, mingling with the scent of earth and sweat. Each strike echoed with the weight of history, a primal duel echoing through the ages. In this silent battleground, honor and instinct intertwined, driving them forward in a relentless pursuit of victory, their shadows merging in the dance of combat. Until next time, Kaltos! May the gods guide your blows straight and true! -- Black Bomber SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last week's fights. DUELHAMPSTERS! is no joke as it posted a 3-1-1 week advancing from 2nd place to 2nd place. Hey everybody, watch out for HOOLIGAN, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after mashing KHALHUMS DWARF like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was XENIA, who dropped 10 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with BLACK BANE. Drawing on all of his experience as a 1-4-0 warrior, JAWS went for the Duelmastership against BLACK BOMBER this week. Well, everybody's pal BLACK BOMBER moved his record to 16-10-2 by defeating JAWS in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 2 recognition points. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the KALTOS arena. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid BLACK BULLDOGS, please raise you hand. Wow. Does KALTOS really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch JAMES BONDAGE's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from BLACK BULLDOGS. Well just about everybody wants a piece of CHRISTINE SIXTEEN, who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, FUZZY-WUZZY went after CHRISTINE SIXTEEN, who was higher by 18 points. Well, when the dust settled, FUZZY-WUZZY was defeated by CHRISTINE SIXTEEN. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, there's the manager of the KALTOS giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLACK BOMBER 2711 16 10 2 127 BLACK BULLDOGS (11) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HOOLIGAN 6069 17 11 0 87 PLASTER CASTER (603) CHUCKLES 3071 10 4 0 86 DUELHAMPSTERS!
