I have a question.

[MurOllavan]

Maria,

You're an intolerable dyke. Yes I remember you from TDL, championship match right? Last duel was a must-win for your team, but you were down 4-1. Then we put your duel on pause and had you standing there looking like you ate a wheelbarrow full of lemons while we passed out confetti and championship items. Then we partied while you lost and cried with your handicapped family about how disrespecful we were to do that.

I admit it, you are a legend. I have since never once seen the last drop of someone's dignity siphoned off like that. Oh well, you will fit in to the drama club/sewing circle the Arena has become. What's one more silly broad to the mix?

As for your pathetic 'crew' know that I will be first in line to be on the other side of your silly 'rebellion'. Do not get in my way. Considering how low the bar is on the expectations you set for yourself, it shouldn't be hard.

p.s. Hate your fat face.

[Maria Graziano]

I was trying to make sense of your ramblings when I realized that your brain was simply too booze soaked for intelligent thought to be put to paper.

I think I've figured it out now, though. You must be one of Marzan's bastard children. It explains eeeeverything.

Look forward to seeing you around. Love your ugly mug. Mean it.

P.S. If you had trouble understanding these complete sentences with comprehensible structure, I can have my ex husband translate it into drunk for you.

Maria,

It's ten in the morning so I'm a little tipsy so I'll try to be coherent. We got off to a bad start - yesterday it was tequila and I'm sorry about that. I mean who am I to say getting voted into MVP isn't a real dueling title?

I can actually see your rebellious plan unfolding now, and its brilliant! You're going to go round up all the guys you had to sleep with for MVP votes, and bring them back to the Arena! We will forever be in your debt when activity increases a hundredfold!

I do have one humble request my horsegoblin. Myria and Ria. Could you please get them off the street-corners of Battlefield Park? I know they have to make money but they are distracting Matt. He hasn't had time to answer the rest of the challenges I gave him including the one for Koy.

And it brings the property values down and I don't want to be a slumlord. If you get them off the streets I will return the favor by issuing a baronial grant to remove all their competition when I win the district. But they have to keep it indoors.

[Capt Sneggle]

Wow, I was contemplating making a comeback but reviewing the boards didn't find anything particularily excitng and then this string of comments came along.

I will most likely be back in mid-summer as I have some things that must be first set to rights. So, I look forward to crossing swords with any and all then. If an opportunity comes along for an earlier time of return that will be nice also.

As in the past I will treat as I am treated.

Thank yer,

Capt Sneggle

I'm curious to know what happens if M's "rebellion" gets in Mur's way. Like, I really want to know. I hope I don't lose any sleep at night trying to figure out what exactly it'll be. I'm guessing it'll be...wait for it...more braggadocio and pontificating without actually doing anything. Which is interesting when you really break it down, because braggadocio is what the Crew is all about. However, the difference there is that we've actually backed it up. Hell, we've done that better than anyone ever has or ever will. You can go ahead and look that up next time you're looking to give everyone a little more "perspective".

Someone please give this guy another title...

::a manila-tinted sheaf of vellum was pinioned to the cork by the rusted poniard of a dagger, a ribbon of silk affixed to the filigreed hilt oscillating across the scribble at the whim of the breeze : :

A yearly event has occurred. Just as the trees of Rhydin blossom with the promise of a new year, so the brats of the Crew awaken from their pot -addled slumber and issue childish threats to a disinterested world at large. And yet, I find myself in the odd position of defending them. Krusolis, you were not even around for the most recent Madness, yet you wish to criticize Maria's accomplishments, as if the Arena did not exist before you were here to lose to Commoners this weekend? Was the history of the Arena a great, dark slate before you came here to enlighten us with your second round slashes in the wake of a first round parry? It never ceases to amaze me, how the worthless think that they count. You are no different than the fellahin who came a hundred generations before you.

I'm not a friend of the Wrecking Crew. After a successful Baronial defense and winning a vacant ring despite the Council appointing her, I honestly wonder why Maria Graziano isn't my slave. Truth be told, she will be a slave before too long. But whatever happens, Krusolis
..keep your mouth shut and learn how to duel. Just ask for duels with the rest of the lowlifes, and never mind what your betters are doing.

P.S: "someone, please give this guy a title". Why, Tical, so I can take that from you too?

[Maria Graziano]

Predictable. Tical and the word 'title' show up in the same sentence and then there you appear with threats. This fixation you have with my man really needs to end, Anubis. I don't share well.

I've been waiting to be fitted for my Princess Leia slave get-up for near on a decade now, baby, but you always realize that I'm one of the few people willing to work with you. Unfortunately, there will be no deals this time around. This is an all Crew gig. Not enough room on the party bus. Sorry.

Love always,
M.G.

Mur,

If you manage to get the Barony from Matt, then put your two cents in about Battlefield Park. Until then stow it.
