     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in MORYA this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
FAR TRAVELERS is pushed out of top team by OTTO'S MECHANICS, who came from 2nd with a 
3-2-0 this turn.  DODGE BULLETS stable has parlayed this turn's 1-3-0 into a 3 space 
move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 3rd place.  Good work, guys!  And let's 
see, SCAR fought GINGER EVANS and gained 19 points and contributed to BASH BROS 
BODY's 3-1-0.  KAMAKURA has lost to VERENA, falling 10 points, while helping make FAR 
TRAVELERS a 2-1-0 turn.  And all eyes were on HERRIA this turn as he ascended to the 
throne of Duelmaster.  MORYA has a new victor!  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have 
heard from unimpeachable sources that Salty's Chowder House uses trolls in their 
stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the OTTO'S MECHANICS stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on MORYA, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding OTTO'S 
MECHANICS more than any other team we find BASH BROS BODY.  MORYA, are we going to 
accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
DODGE BULLETS' warrior JOTUN ARNE.  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?  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.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in MORYA and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in MORYA again, farewell--
