     Hail WILLAF!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as SKULL AND BONES is pushed 
out of top team by TROUBLEMAKERS, who came from 2nd with a 2-3-0 this turn.  And 
let's see, THE HUMUNGUS fought D'ANNUNZIO and gained 47 points and contributed to 
BUBBA'S BARBARIANS' 1-0-0.  ESMERELDA has lost to DR BEEPER, falling 18 points, while 
helping make FAR TRAVELERS a 0-2-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster 
have failed, and HOWIE HOWITZER remains WILLAF's top warrior for another turn.  Can 
someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do 
dishes at The Welcome Wench until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  WRATHMEN 25-22 has cause to stand tall, 
as they were WILLAF's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And guess who avoided WRATHMEN 25-22 stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was TROUBLEMAKERS.  Anyone surprised?   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  A brave warrior does not carry a 
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in WILLAF, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in WILLAF again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
