Good afternoon,

     It looks like the Fail to Wreck team also failed to bloodfeud.  Polar Bear killed 
their man Brook the Rage back in turn 1037, and this was their last turn to bloodfeud, 
but they didn't show up, and here is what Polar Bear was doing today:  BREAK IT DOWN 
AGAIN (4-7423) (15-1-0,124) of PALE SHELTER 57 fought POLAR BEAR (4-7820) (23-22-
1,106) of TRIBAL COUNCIL.  BREAK IT DOWN AGAIN viciously subdued POLAR BEAR in a 3 
minute expert's Title battle.  So, Break It Down Again is our Duelmaster and the best 
Total Parry.
     Aside from a Dark Arena death, there was just one death today.  NEUROTICA (4-
7976) (2-2-0,23) of CARESS OF STEEL! fought ARROWS (4-7873) (0-0-0,0) of STAGE RIGHT.  
NEUROTICA was easily killed by ARROWS in a 1 minute uneven fight.  Arrows got 24 
recognition points for that.  The Caress of Steel team has four warriors who might 
have a chance against Arrows, so let's see how they do in coming turns.
     The Killing Hive had a 3-2-0 turn, so why are they the top team?  Here is their 
best fight:  SWAYTHE (4-5253) (13-9-0,125) of PHILANTHROPISTS2 fought BARBAX (4-7891) 
(18-3-0,85) of THE KILLING HIVE.  SWAYTHE viciously subdued BARBAX in a popular 2 
minute gory master's brawl.  Swaythe is Jhelum's top Parry-Lunge.
     Just when you think you're really getting the hang of this dueling thing, you 
find out you don't really know anything.  CINDERELLA MAN (4-7973) (2-2-0,9) of CARESS 
OF STEEL! fought UNHAPPY SLASHER (4-7870) (0-0-0,0) of STAGE RIGHT.  CINDERELLA MAN 
was overpowered by UNHAPPY SLASHER in a 1 minute mismatched brawl.  Ouch.

I have to run to the shops for a few things.  See you in fourteen.

                                          -- Edith Tonte
