     Well, what are you looking at, VEASTIAN?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, FAR TRAVELERS, since NIGHT 
TRAIN II took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If this keeps up, 
PRIDE OF ALASTARI, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 4 in 
the rankings?  PUD POWER turned their 2-1-0 turn into a 2nd place rank in the 
listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Now let's 
all watch NIGHT TRAIN II's heads swell from their 3-1-0 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  
Big shots, big talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see INGOT 
win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, OJ LIGHT beat BRUTE and BRUTE 
lost 11 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  SCRAGG TAGG challenged VEASTIAN's 
Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as 
SCRAGG TAGG takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, 
heh.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this?  You want to 
know what's new, don't you, VEASTIAN?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  NIGHT TRAIN II was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily 
livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like PUD POWER avoided them 
the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     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?   
     There's got to be a better place in VEASTIAN to get a drink than The Warty Toad! 
Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of 
VEASTIAN.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need 
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
