Hello everyone,

     It's turn 1044 in Jhelum Arena.  There were just 10 fights, and 2 challenges.  
Tanks for Nothin' avoided Classic Blues.
     I suppose I should do the bloodfeud notes first.  In turn 1041, Neurotica of 
Caress of Steel! was killed by Arrows of Stage Right.  Nobody from Stage Right fought 
today, so no bloodfeud was possible.
     Today, Vapor Trail of Caress of Steel! was killed by... well, let's see... VAPOR 
TRAIL (4-7975) (6-1-0,62) of CARESS OF STEEL! fought CARRO LEGGERO (4-7904) (7-24-
2,49) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN'.  VAPOR TRAIL was executed by CARRO LEGGERO in a 1 minute 
mismatched brawl.  We'll see if something comes of that, but I'm getting the 
impression bloodfeuds aren't that popular anymore.
     CONQUEROR (4-7907) (13-15-0,99) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' challenged LIL GREEN (4-
7803) (20-7-1,129) of CLASSIC BLUES.  CONQUEROR was bested by LIL GREEN in a 4 minute 
master's Challenge fight.  Lill Green is off to the Isle after this turn.
     WALTER DAVIS (4-7922) (12-10-0,58) of CLASSIC BLUES challenged LEAD BALLOON (4-
7742) (3-67-0,76) of DOGS OF WAR.  WALTER DAVIS handily defeated LEAD BALLOON in a 1 
minute one-sided Challenge match.  A record, now, of 3-68-0.  Is Lead Balloon just 
here to give wins to anyone who fights it?
     BREAK IT DOWN AGAIN (4-7423) (18-1-0,153) of PALE SHELTER 57 fought ALBERT 
COLLINS (4-7917) (13-10-1,91) of CLASSIC BLUES.  BREAK IT DOWN AGAIN vanquished ALBERT 
COLLINS in a 1 minute mismatched Title brawl.  So, Break it Down Again is still our 
Duelmaster and the top Total Parry around here.  But not for any longer.  B.i.D.A. is 
going to the Isle now.  Albert Collins is the ONLY Basher active today.
     PANZER IV (4-7847) (18-24-2,91) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' fought EDGAR (4-7838) (20-
25-0,85) of DOGS OF WAR.  PANZER IV defeated EDGAR in a crowd pleasing 6 minute 
veteran's fight.  Tanks for Nothin' gained ground today, after a 3-1-1 turn.
     TRUST FALL (4-7887) (9-1-1,92) of SILLY YUPPIE! fought JESSE FULLER (4-7802) (15-
13-1,95) of CLASSIC BLUES.  TRUST FALL bested JESSE FULLER in a crowd pleasing 1 
minute veteran's duel.
     PINK ANDERSON (4-7942) (6-6-0,32) of CLASSIC BLUES fought CINDERELLA MAN (4-7973) 
(4-3-0,27) of CARESS OF STEEL!.  PINK ANDERSON savagely defeated CINDERELLA MAN in an 
action packed 1 minute melee.
     MARATHON (4-7972) (4-3-0,15) of CARESS OF STEEL! fought CULT MEMBER (4-586) (0-0-
0,20).  MARATHON won victory over CULT MEMBER in a 4 minute duel.
     RICKENBACKER (4-7974) (3-4-0,19) of CARESS OF STEEL! fought CHAR B1 EURE (4-7947) 
(1-1-0,8) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN'.  RICKENBACKER was outlasted by CHAR B1 EURE in an 8 
minute duel.  Char B1 Eure was voted least popular for this turn.
     ANTHEM (4-7998) (1-0-0,13) of CARESS OF STEEL! fought ALDIBAH (4-7981) (1-0-0,13) 
of DRACO.  ANTHEM was vanquished by ALDIBAH in a 1 minute one-sided fight.  Anthem 
lost 9 points which he could ill afford.

     Well, this pile of numbers is all I can give you today.  I hope things will liven 
up next turn.
