We were down to 8 active teams today. A few of the familiar faces are still missing. It did not stop the excitement on the sands; the excitement merely had less participation! So, let's skip the small talk and get to the point this afternoon. Okay, we won't skip it, but let's make it quick. The weather is odd, the pollen is horrible, but my outfit is magnificent, as are my newly manicured nails. Life is good for this not-so-old spy reporting witch. Coming into the turn, Feral Diva was riding high on two consecutive turns as Duelmaster. The last turn's match was random, but we saw some movement and initiative from the Challenger Champions, as Emma Stone made a play for the crown. Feral Diva could not stand up to the challenge from Emma Stone, so we have ourselves a new Duelmaster. Congrats to Ms. Stone! There is no graduation notice in my notes, so Emma must defend that title in a few weeks. Do the blues and pickles mix? They did not this week in Seam. No Tournament Blues is the most avoided team, mostly by the new team, Bad Pickles. No clue what goes into such decisions. I like to watch it from afar! We did not have a most challenged warrior this time. The few challenges that were issued were spread out among the masses. Maybe you can show the Duelmaster some love and make her the most challenged? There are no deaths, which is fine with me. I feel like a few of you will be disappointed with this news. We are an Andorian arena, but I am not sure that holds the same life-affirming value it did in decades past. Congrats to Enfeeblement Ray, who is our Chartered Recognition Leader, edging out of Duelmaster by 3 recognition points. Wouldn't that be a fine match-up to watch? Okay, okay, I'll stop pressing the issue of challenges and striving for the throne. I mean, it is only the WHOLE POINT of being active in the arena. Rubber vs Glue and Akakia are still absent. I hope that we have not seen the last of those two teams. We bid a final farewell to Dakia Wildrose. She had her departing fight and is off to the Isle. Like all our graduates, we wish her well in that strange, new place. Is immortality all that it is advertised to be? The choice between living and dying seems clear-cut to me at the moment. Okay, my darlings, enough talk about these mortal coils and the philosophical conundrums we often find ourselves in! Come back to see me in 2 weeks, and we will have a grand ol' time once again! -- Sidara Brightbell DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EMMA STONE 1370 12 12 0 108 LOCAL GIRLS (88) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ENFEEBLEMENT RAY 1428 14 7 0 111 THIRSTY THUGS (31) -NEENER NEENER 1382 15 9 1 94 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) -I KNOW YOU ARE 1381 21 3 0 93 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS 1378 12 14 0 93 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) HOEB 1184 21 28 1 92 THIRSTY THUGS (31) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MOZELLE ALDERSON 1406 14 10 0 89 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) BULLY BOBCAT 1467 11 3 1 87 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) FERAL DIVA 1393 14 11 0 86 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) -SQUARE 1413 16 5 0 85 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) SALLY CAT 1415 12 11 2 83 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) FARMER FOX 1341 13 19 0 79 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) -BUT WHAT AM I 1383 19 5 0 74 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) ORA ALEXANDER 1410 10 13 1 74 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) GRANDMA CAT 1451 9 9 1 71 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) -ALBERT 1210 12 33 0 70 AKAKIA (86) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DEMOLITION DOG 1390 19 7 0 64 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GREG 1328 10 21 0 64 AKAKIA (86) COHERENCE 1445 10 10 1 57 THIRSTY THUGS (31) FAZ EBONSTEEL 1487 6 5 1 57 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHAIN GANGSTER 1392 12 13 0 55 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) LOLA DOOMFIST 1494 6 3 0 54 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) IRONCLAD KNIGHT 1423 12 10 1 52 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) HELLER 1485 5 7 0 48 THIRSTY THUGS (31) HILDA HIPPO 1446 12 8 0 44 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) STEVIE NICKS 1483 6 3 0 43 LOCAL GIRLS (88) MARY JO WEST 1492 4 3 0 38 LOCAL GIRLS (88) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THREADS 1442 7 12 0 33 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) GRUMPY CAT 1457 6 6 0 33 LOCAL GIRLS (88) -BOOGERHEAD 1468 6 5 2 31 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) PROTOTYPO 1490 8 3 1 29 UNLIKELY HEROES (4) PAPA LENNY 1513 2 0 0 29 BAD PICKLES (92) OH MORRISSEY 1504 3 2 0 24 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EDITH NORTH JOHNSON 1500 3 4 1 23 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) RICHIE H. 1510 2 0 0 23 BAD PICKLES (92) EXYL ROTT 1515 2 1 0 22 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) DOOMSROLLING 1473 4 8 0 20 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) SHAKEY JAKE HARRIS 1501 3 4 0 19 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) -KEVIN'S DAD 1472 3 8 0 17 AKAKIA (86) HODJA 1517 1 1 0 15 THIRSTY THUGS (31) SWIPE LEFT 1520 1 0 0 11 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) LIKE SUNDAY 1503 2 3 0 10 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) -WILLIAM BUCKWELL V 1499 1 4 1 8 AKAKIA (86) LIZ MONTGOMERY 1505 1 3 0 6 LOCAL GIRLS (88) LEXXEE LIONEYE 1516 1 2 0 5 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) CHADLY CAT 1514 1 1 0 4 BAD PICKLES (92) BAMIEN 1511 1 1 0 4 BAD PICKLES (92) THE IMP 1512 1 1 0 4 BAD PICKLES (92) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Maybe you were watching the eclipse a little too closely? Perhaps you should make an appointment with an ophthalmologist. Or go visit the guys at No Tournament Blues, I'm sure they have a few surplus mobility canes from all the blind warriors they've hosted. -- Pappy LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS EMMA STONE devastated FERAL DIVA in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight.
