     Hail XOCHITHLAN!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  JUST ADD COFFEE stable has parlayed this turn's 3-0-0 into a 3 space 
move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  And let's 
see, MORNING PERSON fought BRANDSPLAINING and gained 14 points and contributed to 
JUST ADD COFFEE's 3-0-0.  BRANDSPLAINING has lost to MORNING PERSON, falling 10 
points, while helping make PUBLIC RELATIONS a 1-4-0 turn.  This turn INSTANT HUMAN 
challenged ARCHAMBEAU in what was XOCHITHLAN's Title bout.  Defending his title for 
another turn, INSTANT HUMAN kept FAR TRAVELERS' warrior, ARCHAMBEAU, from claiming 
the throne.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under 
the table at The Warty Toad?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the DUCKS UNLIMITED 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on XOCHITHLAN, what are you afraid 
of?  And guess who avoided DUCKS UNLIMITED stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was JUST ADD COFFEE.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
THE MIDDLE WAY's warrior APPLE CORE.  More fighters challenged him than challenged 
the Duelmaster!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     I like this place, XOCHITHLAN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet 
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and 
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
