     Hail JASPER GULCH!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  PROJECT MAYHEM 370 must be either in pain, or numb, having dropped from 
6th to 31st this turn, with a 0-1-0 acting as the weight.  ARCANE BEACH BALL stable 
has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 6 space move up the rankings.  This brings them 
up to 1st place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, COUNTRY HAM fought ROBERT PAULSON 
287 and gained 133 points and contributed to SUNSHINE BISCUIT's 3-1-1.  FUEL LINE has 
lost to ROBERT PAULSON 304, falling 12 points, while helping make 05 CHEVY a 0-1-0 
turn.  And all eyes were on ROBERT PAULSON 581 this turn as he ascended to the throne 
of Duelmaster.  JASPER GULCH has a new victor!  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  
I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Swinging Aardvark 
until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the GUN MAKERS stable was the most avoided 
team this turn.  Come on JASPER GULCH, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding GUN 
MAKERS more than any other team we find R UPSTARTS.  JASPER GULCH, are we going to 
accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that SECOND 
WIND from 28ERR was JASPER GULCH's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     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 JASPER GULCH, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
