     This is turn 1063 of Sunset Arena.  There were 25 fights.  Big Lake Terror is 
now the top team, with a 4-1-0 turn.  The Whovians, as well, had a 4-1-0 turn.
     We have a new Duelmaster, Blak Box.  BLAK BOX (21-10108) (21-14-0,100) of GRIM 
FANDANGO challenged GWANJI (21-10206) (10-3-0,112) of OFF THE WALL III.  BLAK BOX 
unbelievably bested GWANJI in a 5 minute Challenge Title brawl.
     Two fighters died today in the Dark Arena.  Travis Bickle of A Forest Dark is 
listed as "revenged", but his killer, Absaraka, actually faced a surprising opponent.  
ABSARAKA (21-10277) (3-5-2,16) of GRIM FANDANGO fought OSKSI NOBLE (21-390) (0-0-
0,10).  ABSARAKA handily defeated OSKSI NOBLE in a 2 minute one-sided contest.
     Vigga-Wulf and Wanderlust are yet to be avenged, if their managers care about 
that sort of thing.
     RASSILON (21-10298) (2-1-0,23) of THE WHOVIANS fought GWYN AP NUDD (21-10302) (0-
0-0,0) of A FOREST DARK.  RASSILON was demolished by GWYN AP NUDD in a 1 minute one-
sided fight.  Gwyn Ap Nudd gained 23 points, while Rassilon lost 15.  I'd keep an eye 
on the son of Nudd.  This was the only loss today for the Whovians.
     Big Lake Terror was the most avoided team.  Comfort Food was the team that 
avoided them.  I note that two of Big Lake Terror's most experience warriors, Dark 
Wishes and Dark Visit, have caught the stage to the Isle after fighting this turn.  
     DARK WISHES (21-10042) (28-17-0,101) of BIG LAKE TERROR fought SPAGHETTI (21-
10187) (9-3-2,104) of COMFORT FOOD.  DARK WISHES subdued SPAGHETTI in a crowd pleasing 
4 minute one-sided brawl.
     DARK VISIT (21-10122) (16-16-0,97) of BIG LAKE TERROR fought CORRUPT GAOLER (21-
10138) (12-7-0,93) of A FOREST DARK.  DARK VISIT devastated CORRUPT GAOLER in an 
exciting 1 minute mismatched conflict.
     Hmm.  The most challenged fighter this turn was Dark Contact.  MOLTEN LAVA CAKE 
(21-10296) (1-2-0,6) of COMFORT FOOD challenged DARK CONTACT (21-10273) (3-5-0,22) of 
BIG LAKE TERROR.  MOLTEN LAVA CAKE beat DARK CONTACT in an exciting 1 minute brutal 
Challenge fight.  This bodes ill for Dark Contact.
     I was sorry to see Ogryn on the sands of the Dark Arena.  Yes, he had a losing 
record, but three kills?  OGRYN (21-10093) (14-19-3,87) of BEN'S BAZAAR DA challenged 
QUICKSILVER (21-406) (0-0-0,60) of DARK ARENA.  OGRYN was butchered by QUICKSILVER in 
a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
     That's all I have for you, people of Sunset. -- Grix
