     Well, what are you looking at, TRICORUS?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see CATARINA win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, YAPPER beat 
BALDUR and BALDUR lost 11 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the 
spice of life, TRICORUS may be getting bland, as THOROLUND stays top dog in the city. 
The Silver Chalice, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get 
this stuff?  From TRICORUS' trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the TRICORUS arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of TRICORUS.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the 
back of this place-- Snide Clemens
