SEASONAL OPERATIONS

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205

Good evening, folks. Harry Wankman here for WHRT News reporting on the new SEASONAL OPERATIONS appearing throughout the game. Hi there ghouls and goblins. the spooky season is upon us and may end on the new month but until then, there are some spooktacular events to lurk for.

First up on the cutting block, heads will roll by joining a faction. Are you a Hero? A Villain? A Renegade? Choose a faction to join and terrorize your enemies. When you pick a faction, you can earn points and additional awards in the daily PVP. Choose wisely or the head that rolls may be your own. HeHeHe. There are some other scary things going on as well.

The Keeper of Events has added some seasonal operations that you can do during this haunting season.





Look for seasonal themed monsters in patrols and in the missions were 'You Found Trouble!' is located. There are a couple horrible monsters to defeat. You will be on a quest to hunt down them in the patrols. There are specters and skeletons. For every 5 specters and skeleton you kill, you will be rewarded with 300 'Ops Points' to spend in the Field Ops on your profile page as well as a great power card but that's not all. There's more.





If you lurk around on the mission's tab like New Amsterdam, there is another way to add to your Ops Points. as you defend the mission zones there will be some pop-up special operations that will require your input. Choose well and you will be rewarded with Ops Points and sometimes you can receive power cards or consumables. It's been really lucrative for me.

Here is a helpful hint. You will be given three options to choose from for your input. If any of these choices are dimmed out, your current battle suit is missing a certain attribute and may need to add it to your suit to be successful. Keep in mind, these special operations are battles. a choice that is successful once may not be the next. Chances are, if you stick with your successful choice, it will be successful again. Memorize this info and use it to your advantage.



These special operations have been quite fun and really rewarding. At the end of this event, you will also receive BADGE points to help you earn more perk advantages. There is also a 'Special Ops License' available for a small amount. It will pay for itself because it comes with good amount of morphon particles.



Don't miss out on the action. Join a faction. Hunt down Specters and skeletons in patrols and keep track of your kills on the quest tab. Defend your mission zones. You will be rewarded. see ya out there. I'll be lurking for you.

LEAGUE WARS: DUELS ROUND 2

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205



Good evening, folks. Harry Wankman here for WHRT News reporting on the 2nd round of LEAGUE WARS: DUELS and folks, today, I've seen stuff you wouldn't believe. So many new folks with weird powers, it's enough to make you scratch your head and go, "Huh?" Reminds me of a crazy story about duels ole' Tyler Rager used to tell. I'll tell it the best I can and then get to round 2 results. It goes something like this.

Ladies and gentlemen skinny and scout, I'll tell you a tale I know nothing about. The admission is free so pay at the door. Now pull out a chair and sit on the floor.

On one bright day in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back-to-back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other.

The blind man came to see fair play. The mute man came to shout hooray. The deaf policeman heard the noise and came to stop those two dead boys.

He lived on the corner, in the middle of the block, in a two-story house on a vacant lot. A man with no legs came walking by and kicked the lawman in his thigh.

He crashed through a wall without making a sound. Into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned. A long black hearse came to cart him away, but he ran for his life and is still gone today.

I watched from the corner of the table. The only eyewitness to facts of my fable. If you doubt my lies are true, just ask the blind man, he saw it too.

Pretty crazy duels story huh? So were some of these duels battles. Let's check out the results of round 2.

The strongest leagues are in division 1 and the two strongest this day were CHAOS THEORY and WMD NEW ORDER. CHAOS THEORY spread the chaos and crush The Disenchanted Brüte Squad,96-10. WMD - NEW ORDER obliterated the Super Freaks, 142-1. The CHAOS THEORY and WMD is going to be the one to watch in the third round.

Outlaws Inc break all traffic laws of 5th Precinct: Omniversal Traffic Cops, 91-35. No tickets given this day and no invites to the policeman's ball because Cops don't have ba... on to division 3 before I get arrested for decent exposure.

Division 3 has the Fortress of Solitude has the CREATURES OF THE NIGHT searching for some light where there is none. Night falls, 127-25 and the Super Freak Squad get freaky on the 5Th Precinct: Omniversal Guardians. The Guardians take the loss, 127-90.

LEAGUE WARS: DUELS CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 3 HIGHLIGHTS

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205



Good evening, folks. Harry Wankman here for WHRT News reporting on LEAGUE WARS: DUELS CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 3. I'll showcase some highlights and gold medal winners but before I do I want to thank everyone for their participation and battle entertainment on the first ever Duels style league wars. Bravo Zulu - Well Done.

In reverse order from bottom to top, here are my top five highlight championship battles.

In division 15, SoulSoar, Fran of the Viera and Basch fon Ronsenberg of Ivalice Alliance make a valiant effort to take back the lead but Dread Algon, Baroness and BIG BOA of TEAM COBRA beat them like some G.I.s in training in a close battle, 44-41. Congratulation on gold TEAM COBRA.

The division 13 teams of SOB:NEST OF VIPERS and Spex on the Beach put on an impressive show but them Vipers bite hard and fast and Spex on the Beach ran out of anti-venom. VIPERS win 36-21. Congratulation on gold to the SOB:NEST OF VIPERS.

The top combatants of division 11, 9PLANETS ORBITING and LOST SOULS fight it out but the LOST SOULS get lost in all them planetary orbits and crash to earth, 63-55. Congratulation on gold to the 9PLANETS ORBITING.

In division 9, SOB MEAT LOCKER came close to putting an end to all SUFFERING but a few too many offensive losses by MEAT LOCKER make that impossible and SUFFERING does what SUFFERING does. They make MEAT LOCKER suffer the loss, 57-49. Congratulation on gold to SUFFERING.

In what was probably the most anticipated battle of LEAGUE WARS: DUELS. We have the division 1 teams of CHAOS THEORY and WMD NEW ORDER. With all the war banter between these two leagues, most wondered who would take the gold in this championship battle. No one would know until near the very end. There would be a lot of back and forth for the lead, but I believe what may have been one of the better strategic moves happened in the first few moments of round 3. It seems CHAOS THEORY may have played a little opossum and taken some sacrifice losses by the World Snake and the Avenger to the Wizards of WMD and changed WMDs play strategy. If the Wizards took down these two monsters, surely the rest of CHAOS would be a piece of cake, easy as pie, right? Turns out CHAOS pie makes for a lot of defensive wins from WMD. WMD would catch a share of def wins as well but CHAOS would garner near 65 def wins, most from Stinkfist, Damon and Death Punch. All three are excellent players but, those sacrificed battles by the World Snake and Avenger may have led to a false sense of security on WMDs part causing them to tilt when they should have yielded. That's what it looked like to this old reporter, but I could be wrong. I was wrong once, a long time ago, a bunch of times but regardless, CHAOS THEORY would take the win and the gold, 119-64. Congratulation on gold to CHAOS THEORY.

Congratulations to all the other gold medalists in each division. They put on a great show as well. Here they are:

In division 2, Colony 5¹ send the 5th Precinct: Omniversal Traffic Cops back to Driver's Ed with a 144-25 victory for the gold. Congratulation on gold to Colony 5¹.

The battle for division 3 gold was between Fortress of Solitude and the 5Th Precinct: Omniversal Guardians. Solitude need no guards and take the gold, 160-41. Congratulation on gold to Fortress of Solitude.

In division 4, Battle Born take all the shrimp off the barbie as well as the gold from the Aussie Freaks, 74-22. Congratulation on gold to Battle Born.

In division 5, Outlaws Inc shoot down the sorcery of the Angels Of Sorcery. No spell strong enough against Outlaws Inc. Congratulation on gold Outlaws Inc on an 73-36 victory.

The Avengers 5¹ Walking Dead and Stacked Deck face off for gold in division 6. Avengers 5¹ Walking Dead don't play no cards when there's a Stacked Deck, they just cut the deck and take the win, 86-19. Congratulation on gold to the Avengers 5¹ Walking Dead.

In division 7, PAIN inc bring the pain to The W.a.r.e.h.o.u.s.e and take home the gold. The W.a.r.e.h.o.u.s.e gets burned to the ground, 54-13. Congratulation on gold to PAIN inc.

The ᗷOᗰᗷ❌Sᑫᑌᗩᗪ and New Freaks of division 8 get it on to see who takes the gold. The New Freaks couldn't get their freak on this round and ᗷOᗰᗷ❌take the gold.89-11. Congratulation on gold to ᗷOᗰᗷ❌Sᑫᑌᗩᗪ.

In division 10, the ᗷOᗰᗷ❌Sᑫᑌᗩᗪ 2 pulled the SOB OVERLORD det cord and take-home gold, 30-9. Congratulation on gold to the ᗷOᗰᗷ❌Sᑫᑌᗩᗪ 2.

In division 12, SPIRITS overtake H.E.A.T Team 1 Hazerdous Environment Assault Teams, 30-0 for the gold medal and belt. Congratulation on gold to SPIRITS.

The last gold medal battled was between Los Jefes and Team Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Fan and Sword. Los Jefes bend Team Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Fan and Sword's will and win, 30-9. Congratulations on gold to Los Jefes.

Well folks, that concludes the wrap up on all the gold medal winners for LEAGUE WARS: DUELS. Congratulations on all the gold, silver and bronze winners. Every league fought hard and entertained the masses. Special thanks to Justin Towe and his team for bringing a new style battle to us. Duels is a very interesting a different style of fight, but everyone did great for this inaugural battle. Folks will know better what to expect and increase their suit builds for the next LEAGUE WARS: DUELS. This has been Harry Wankman for WHRT News reporting. Signing off until the next war. Good night and good luck. There is an atlas event coming real, so get ready.

LWS 18- BACK TO BASICS ROUND 1 HIGHLIGHTS

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205

Welcome everyone to LWS 18- BACK TO BASICS round 1 highlights. I'm Harry Wankman, WHRT News, here doing the live commentary for the start of round 1. With 60 leagues facing off across 15 divisions, round 1 promises to have some great fights.

Its enough to make a fella thirsty and that's why I always pop a cold refreshing Heroes Energy Coke. Chock full of good stuff that increases your energy and stamina levels while the great taste leaves you relaxed and ready for anything.

"AHH!... That's refreshing and tastes great and no bad aftertaste either. I got my 4 pack. Did you get yours? Get yours today at your nearest Hero Consumable shop.

This drink is hard to put down but I gotta so I can do my commentary. Rather hard to drink and talk at the same time and still be professional.

Let's take a look at some highlights from round 1, LWS 18- BACK TO BASICS. You know, I enjoy those battles that have a close score all the way to the end of the round. Those keep you on the edge of your seat kind of fights. Let's see who they are.

In division 2, there was a close battle until the end of the round between the Disenchanted Brute Squad and the Angels of Sorcery. It sure was a close fight but the Brutes of Disenchanted pulled the feathers off of the Angels of Sorcery, 52-43, leaving the Angels disenchanted.

In division 8 The Star Force caught some kind of weird infection from Infected 5¹ that slowed the Star Force until they fell, 78-44. The Star Force was heard murmuring something about brains. Not sure what that is all about.

In division 10, ᗷOᗰᗷ❌Sᑫᑌᗩᗪ mini fell to Suffering in a close match. Suffering pulled their fuse and take the win, 49-43. The Bomb Squad no go boom today.

I also like a good beat down. Lots of action there as well. Let's take a look at those but first let me get another swallow of this great tasting Heroes Energy Coke.

What the heck was that? Some kind of hairy black blur just whizzed by me at top speed. I couldn't quite focus, it was so fast, but it smelled of all things like, well, a bear and my Heroes Energy Coke is gone.

Oh well, I still have three more. I'll just pop another one really quick, While I do my commentary.

There are a few teams handing out beatdowns that are just massacres. Here are the bloody beatdowns. Someone should call the medics. Teams on the receiving end are going to need them.

in division 1, Chaos Theory unleashed some real chaos on the Super Freaks but at least they didn't get totally skunked. The Super Freaks score two wins but fall in a hard way, 104-2 and 5th Precinct: Omniversal Traffic Cops fared even worse. They were totally skunked by WMD - NEW ORDER by a whopping 153 to zip.

Division 2 had some beatdown going on as well. COLONY 5¹ layeth down a penguin smackdown on 5Th Precinct: Omniversal Guardians. Yeah, I said it. Bite me Rock. COLONY 5¹ slammed 5Th Precinct: Omniversal Guardians, 162-1 but I gotta say, in the face of adversity, they went down swinging. Props for that.

In division 4, Fortress of Solitude put the Aussie Freaks back down under, 120-31. Their dirigidoo didn't.

All this action sure does make me thirsty. Time for another swallow of tasty and refreshing Heroes Energy Coke. As I pop the top and get the can to my mouth, this jumpy jittery racoon lookin fellow walks up and starts talkin and askin a bunch of rapid-fire questions that have nothing to do with each other. He was like, "Uh uh, hey man, uh uh, where's the bathroom at man? Why is the sky blue man? Why do they call asteroids, asteroids and hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids? Whoever named those things got it backwards, I think. I mean, uh uh, shouldn't they be the other way around? Like, you know what I mean? Meteors fall into a hemisphere and asteroids are just a pain in the behind.

I'm just sitting here, speechless while this Ritalin Racoon fellow keeps talkin nonstop and that hairy black blur just whizzed past me again and took my Heroes Energy Coke right outta my hand and racoon boy still askin questions. Hey man, uh uh, hey man, uh uh, do you smell a bear? I know Rocket racoon. He's my third cousin. Well, I gotta go now. oh look! A squirrel.

Yeah, I think I do and got a pretty good idea what's goin on but let me finish my commentary really quick. I'm almost done.

Finally, in division 6, $tα¢кє∂♦Ðê¢k close down Tygger’s Freak Show. No admittance for you but you can still have the popcorn. Tygger’s Freak Show get destroyed, 108-0.

Before I close out this commentary, I'm gonna set a little trap to catch the fuzzy blur of smelly bear hair. This should do it, five, 4packs of Heroes Energy Coke and a lil freeze spell that will stop anything that touches them.

Well folks, that wraps up LWS 18 - BACK TO BASICS round 1 highlight's. It's been an exciting round but it time to rest up for round 2. Good night and good luck in round 2. Imma catch me a bear any minute now.

There's the commotion I've been waiting for. It is definitely a bear alright. There he stands, mid stride, frozen in place. His big ole 19-acre sized paw frozen on all them 4packs of Heroes Energy Coke. Its Coke Bear playin a lil prank on me. He is one of those Animal Pharm fellas.

I walked over to him and laugh. That's sure was a fun prank. All in good fun but I'm gonna have the last laugh. You can have all those delicious 4packs of Heroes Energy Coke. Share em with the rest of the Pharm but that spell ain't gonna wear off for a couple hours. So don't go nowhere, as if you could. I gotta go now but if you want to be unfrozen faster, all you have to do is recite Fuzzy Wuzzy was a Coke Bear 25 times as loud as you can and you'll be unfrozen and free to leave.

As I walk away, I chuckle to myself, it won't unfreeze him but won't he look cute reciting Fuzzy Wuzzy was a Coke Bear for two hours. Hehehe.

THE WEAPON MASTER'S ARMORY: TECHNODASH

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205



It has been nearly three months since Miyamoto began working and training with Mitsurugi. Mitsurugi stands by young Miyamoto as he trains. They are working on strength training. Mitsurugi making sure no exercise is cheated.

Mitsurugi says, "You have come a long way in a short time. You are much stronger than when I took you in but you still have far to go. You have added muscle mass but are you strong enough? When you have finished these 1000 push-ups come to me in the center ring of the dojo. We will test your strength."

Soon, Miyamoto has finished his push-ups and meets Mitsurugi in the center ring.

Mitsurugi says, "Ahh, there you are. Why are you breathing so hard Miyamoto? It was only 1000 push-ups. You must learn to control your breathing, so you don't get winded so easily. I have an exercise for that but at the moment, I will test your strength."

"What do you want me to do?" says Miyamoto, still catching his breath.

Mitsurugi replies, "I am standing in the center of the Mound Ring. It is a confined space about 10 ft by 10 ft, large enough for only two fighters. The center of the ring rises upward the longer we're inside it. Your test is simply this, push me from the center of the ring and take over the spot where I stand."

"It will not be easy, there is a three-minute time limit and I do not like to lose, even to a kid. This will test your physical strength, balance and problem-solving skills. Enter the ring and start when the bell sounds."

Miyamoto enters the ring as Mitsurugi stands there like a statue in his Fudo-Dachi stance and the bell rings.

Miyamoto shouts, "Here I come! I will take your spot! I'll push you out!"

Miyamoto tries to push Mitsurugi back, but he doesn't even move in the least or lean in the slightest way.

Mitsurugi shouts, "Think! Why didn't that work? Try again! Your time is running out and the ring is rising. You will be off balance!"

Miyamoto thinks to himself, "I have an idea. I'll just pick you up and move you."

Miyamoto tries to lift Mitsurugi by the knees and then by grabbing him around the chest as the ring was rising. Miyamoto grunts and breathes harder from trying to remove Mitsurugi from his spot but there is nothing but failure and then the bell rings and the test is over.

Mitsurugi laughs and says, "Come, sit and rest. Do not be disappointed young one. For a small boy of 12 years, you nearly moved me."

"Really?" Miyamoto asked excitedly.

Mitsurugi chuckled, "No! You didn't even come close. I am nearly seven foot in stature and weigh over 300 pounds. You trying to push me back is like trying to move a mountain. Then you tried lifting me at the knees when the ring was flat and tried again to lift me around the chest as the ring rose up."

"You don't have balance like that. Strength comes from balance. You needed to have balance and make me lose mine when you lift or throw anyone or anything. Don't forget that!"

"I will give you an exercise to do after we talk for a minute. I have a new set of scrolls to sell."

"What is it Weapon Master?" asked Miyamoto.



Mitsurugi says, "It is a new movement scroll. I call it, Technodash. It gives a warrior the power to travel through cyberspace at a thousand megabits per second, processing information about any opponent. Then they can Technodash. They will have the ability to move in space time at even faster speeds. They can process situations faster than milliseconds and even as fast as the fastest presumed span of time. They will move in Planck Time. They'll be so fast; their opponent can't even see them much less hit them."

Miyamoto says, "Wow! That's incredible, how much will it cost?"

Mitsurugi says, "I've already made the posters with the power scrolls name, description and costs. A single scroll will cost 72 gold pieces. I give a deal for 5 scrolls for 288 gold pieces. I can upgrade scrolls and train warriors for 24 gold pieces per scroll. It is some of my best work. For that kind of speed, warriors will want many."

"You can hang the posters in the morning in the town square. Then I'll give you those exercises that will improve your strength and breathing I spoke about."

, "Have you ever heard that rolling stones gather no moss? If you haven't, you will. Oh, you will.

THE WEAPON MASTER'S ARMORY: ENERGY DEFLECTION

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205



Mitsurugi watches as a ragged and filthy young boy, maybe all of 10-12 years old, practicing some sort of kata outside in an alley by his rickety shack. He watches as the young one makes many mistakes performing the kata but is pleased to see that the kid keeps trying to improve, but so many mistakes make Mitsurugi annoyed. Mitsurugi can no longer watch the kid make so many mistakes and confronts the kid.

Mitsurugi goes outside near the kid and groans loud enough for the kid to notice.

Mitsurugi speaks sternly, "What is your name child and what are you trying to accomplish with all that flailing around?"

The kid says, "I am Miyamoto Musashi, and I am training to fight against the Legion when I am bigger and learn more. I even have a special power already. I can make my skin turn into metal. It just happened one day when I was being bullied by the older boys, The bully hit me in the face but broke his hand and I didn't even feel it."

"Well well, young Miyamoto, that is impressive, but you will need more than that metal skin and mediocre kata to defeat the Legion", replied Mitsurugi.

Mitsurugi says, "I will offer you a deal. I am looking for a helper in my armory dojo. I need someone to clean, help me organize items and run errands and occasionally, find and escort warriors from the town square here to buy my goods from my armory."

"If you can handle this job, I will in return give you a roof to stay dry under, food to fill your belly and from time to time, teach you special moves during our regular training."

Young Miyamoto quickly seized this opportunity, if for nothing else, a home and food.

"I accept, says Miyamoto."

Mitsurugi smiles, "Good, you can start now. Take these sale posters and hang them around the town square. I only have a few special scrolls remaining for Energy Deflection to sell. Escort any interested warriors back here. Go now and get started."

Miyamoto asks, "What is energy deflection? Can you teach me too?"



Mitsurugi answers, "I am sorry young Miyamoto. You do not possess the necessary level of strength to perform this. When you gain the strength, it will be the first special power I will teach you. Call it a perk for doing a good job. I won't even charge you this time. Normally, warriors have to pay for power scrolls."

"This scroll is for energy deflection. It is a defense power that allows a warrior to deflect an opponent's energy blast and when mastered, some higher-level warriors can even deflect a blast back onto their opponent."

"One scroll for energy deflection cost 56 pieces of gold or 224 pieces of gold for a special deal of 5 scrolls. Upgrading scrolls and training cost 19 gold pieces extra per scroll, but it is well worth it."

"I only have 470 scrolls left and when you hang these posters, they will sell out quickly. Go now and get it done. The faster you do this, the faster we can work on getting you strong enough to use it."

Miyamoto says excitingly as he takes off, running towards the town square, "I will not let you down Weapon Master."

THE WEAPON MASTER'S ARMORY: MAGIC BOW

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205



You are walking through the center of the town market in Okinawa, Japan. There are some nice items for sell but clothing and food is not what you are looking for. An old man notices that you are a warrior and says," If you are looking for something special, there is a small shack at the edge of town. It's the one that looks like it's going to fall in. Go there, and you may find something to your liking. You give the old man a coin and thank him for his courtesy and follow his direction to the old shack.

You find the old shack and it definitely looks like it could collapse at any minute, but you enter anyway.

Everything is covered in dust and cobwebs and there is water damage on the floor from the leaky roof and it smells of mold and rotting wood.

You look around and see nothing but dilapidation and wasted time. Feeling a bit angry, you turn to leave the run-down shack only to be face to face with an old man with long white hair and overgrown brows, mustache and beard.

Startled and a little angry, you lash out at the old man with a strong super punch, but the old man blocks it with ease, grabs your arm and pushes you to the floor and says, "I am Katsuo Mitsurugi and this is my humble shop. Why are you here?"

I was told that I may find something of special use in combat by an old man with an eye patch in the town market. He sent me here. Now release me old man. I see there is nothing here. I will leave this place peacefully.

Mitsurugi grunts, "That was my older brother, He lost that eye years ago while fighting an evil called, Legion. He failed to duck a creature with the Hair of Medusa, and it removed him from his eye. In return, my brother relieved the creature of his hair by the neck. He must sense great power in you."

"Young warrior, looks can be deceiving. There is more here than you realize." Then Mitsurugi pulled a lever that at first appearance looked to be simple ornamental door molding.

The floorboards began to separate at the back of the run-down shack and a light could be seen shining through the opening.

Mitsurugi leads you to the opening and a lighted stairway.

"Follow me young one, this is my true buki ko and dojo. If you have the gold and the power level to wield it, I can train you on many mystical items."



"The newest item I have acquired for sale are these Magic Bow scrolls. Within these scrolls are the instructions to manifest a magical bow. A bow made of light brighter than the sun and enhanced with morphonic powers. With this bow you can shoot arrows hotter than the sun and you will never miss. This bow can hit anything within a thousand yards."

"I can offer you one scroll and training for 62 pieces of gold or for even more attack strength, I can offer a bundle of five scrolls for a special cost of 248 gold pieces."

You begin to laugh at the old man, "Ha Ha Ha! You must think I'm mental. Scrolls and magic bows. Get real old man!"

Mitsurugi grabs you and you both are teleported outside. "You doubt Mitsurugi?! Pick any target within a thousand yards!"

You point at an old cart around 300 yards away.

Mitsurugi says, "Pick again and make the distance much farther out!"

You point again to a saloon high atop of the mountain side. "You see that saloon old man? The one high on top of the mountain side? That is my saloon. In front of the saloon stands a small sign to welcome people. It can scarcely be seen from here. Hit that!"

Mitsurugi's eyes began to glow like the sun as he pointed and said, "That sign? It's pretty far away huh?"

A bow of light manifested in Mitsurugi's hand, and he pulled back and let loose a fiery arrow that found the target in seconds without even really aiming.

You begin to laugh again, "Ha Ha Ha! You missed old man!"

"Did I now?" replied Mitsurugi. "Call your saloon manager and have him look."

You call your saloon manager and have him check the sign. Sure enough, there was an arrow of light burning the sign.

"Okay, old man, you hit the sign but it's not doing much damage according to the manager."

Mitsurugi says, "I know. I've not released the arrows energy yet. That was to show the bows precision." Mitsurugi's eyes got even brighter, and the arrow exploded. "That is to show the arrows power."

The saloon manager could be heard yelling on the phone, "The sign! The sign is gone, and it took out my car as well," cried the saloon manager. You turn to the old man and say, "I'll take five".

Mitsurugi turns the bow towards you and says, "You will refer to me as Mitsurugi or Weapon Master!"

You quickly bow and ask for forgiveness. "Forgive my rudeness Mitsurugi-San. May I still have the offer?"

"I forgive you young warrior and the offer still stands but know this, there are five tiers of power to these magic bow scrolls. Each tier will increase the bows power, but each tier will also take more training and 105 pieces of gold per scroll per tier for 5 scrolls."

You bring the Weapon Master enough gold to tier all 5 scrolls to the fifth tier and say, "Here you go Master Mitsurugi, here is the gold. When does my training start?"

Mitsurugi bowed and said, "Thank you for your business. Your training will start early in the morning. Be on time and be prepared to stay for one month. Tier five will take some time to master and receive your magic irezumi. Now be gone until then! My favorite show, "As the World Burns," will start soon. The girls on that show really get my blood pumping, He He He."

You laugh and giggle to yourself as you walk away, "Yeah? Whatever. You're worse than Master Roshi old man."

FAN FICTION: BREAKING NEWS: CRISIS AVERTED

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205



Welcome to the WHRT 6 O'clock News. I'm your news anchor, Harry Wankman. Today in the news, numbers are the leading cause of statistics and ....

Hold on folks, we have a breaking emergency alert from NASA.

This is bad news folks, according to this, there is an asteroid headed directly for Earth and initial analysis are saying this asteroid is larger than the one that killed the dinosaurs.

NASA leaders are also saying that the world's Superpowers' have fired numerous nuclear warheads at the object and due to its enormous size and sudden appearance, attempts to destroy the asteroid or alter its course have failed.

I'm being told that the President will have a statement and will be speaking to the public in two minutes. This a somber moment in time folks. The end of all things.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, our president, President Franklin Hardwood.

I address you tonight not as the President of the United States, not as a leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with the very gravest of calamities. What Mr. Wankman just reported is correct. This is a very dire situation. All of Earth's leaders' efforts have failed. It's still unknown where this monster rock came from. I have been told it just appeared mysteriously in an otherwise empty part of space. We are not giving up without a fight. We still have an ace left to play.

As some of you are already aware, there is an organization known as B.A.D.G.E. that has in the past been able to maneuver numerous anomalous situations and taken care of those threats.

I am aware that some think they cause more harm than good, but materials things can be replaced. The Earth cannot.

I have been assured that B.A.D.G.E. has created a new emergency defense system to prevent disasters such as this. They call it Atlas. I call it hope. They are our last hope to render this planet killing asteroid neutralized.

This will be the first test of this new system. The dreams of an entire planet are focused on these brave souls that traveling into the heavens to stop this, this Armageddon. As citizens of the world see this event through, God speed and good luck. MEANWHILE AT THE B.A.D.G.E. SPACE STATION .... Nova and Arx are watching the breaking news report.

"Nova! The world's governments are freaking out pretty bad. They have nearly exhausted most of their nuclear stockpiles and giving hope and good luck speeches. I think it's time," remarked Arx.

Nova replied, "Yes, It's time. Initiate Atlas."

Arx calls on Earth's heroes. He orders Quark and agent Justin to continue investigating the coordinates in space where the asteroid first appeared and let keep him apprised of what they learn. Someone or something has to be causing this.

Dr. Shapiro, I need you to run analysis on those crystals brought back earlier. See if they have any special properties of any kind. Arx radios some of Earth's strongest heroes,"Rakly, Hanzo, Death Punch, Island, Zen, Shinobi and Anomaly! Get up there and take lead. Make sure none of these new heroes make any mistakes. Figure out the best way to tackle this monster asteroid.

They all take off and rallied all of the other heroes together.

Rakly says, "I think the best way to do this is to have three platoons of heroes take positions around the asteroid at different intervals. That way the closest platoon, 1st Platoon, can concentrate fire on a bigger center mass and make the initial explosion. 2nd Platoon will make sure the largest chunks of the asteroid are destroyed and the 3rd Platoon will hang back the farthest and make sure any dump truck sized pieces are blown to bits. Any smaller pieces should burn up in the atmosphere."

"If your powers or suits enhance your attack strength take up the closest positions. It's critical that we hit this thing at full strength and take out as much as we can on the first attack."

"If your powers or suits can resist the physical effects of the asteroid take up the middle positions and if you have any movement speed enhancements, take the positions the farthest out and bat clean up."

"Okay, you have your orders, get into positions and start firing on my mark. So, keep your communicators on."

Rakly, Island and Death Punch took up 1st Platoon positions and reported aloud, "In position and ready!"

Hanzo and Shinobi took up 2nd Platoon positions and reported, "In position and ready!"

Zen and Anomaly took up 3rd Platoon positions, "In position and ready!"

Okay folks, this is it. It's time. Fire on my mark! 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Mark! FIRE ON THE ASTEROID!!

After a few minutes of constant bombardment of the asteroid Rakly hollers out, "Are we doing anything? Are we even making a dent in this thing?"

Island replies, "It's getting a hot spot, shouldn't be much longer now to cause a fracture."

Death Punch breaks off from the platoon and flies closer to the asteroid and says, "I got this! I got the most power!"

Ralky replies, "Get back into proper position! We have to heat this thing up evenly or the asteroid will not break up into equal size pieces! This thing is already acting weird. It should have split apart already but it's just taking our blasts."

It was too late. Death Punch had already powered up and struck the asteroid with his strongest punch ever.

The punch exploded the asteroid apart unequally as suspected and the energy from the explosion sent a bigger part of the asteroid into Death Punch, both hurling through space away from Earth at an outrageous speed.

Rakly remarked aloud, "Death Punch! Report! Are you okay?" as he and everyone else shielded themselves from larger the chunks and shards of the asteroid.

There was no reply from Death Punch.

Island replied, "That guy just can't stick to a plan. His communicator is probably busted and may be floating away unconscious in deep space or both."

"You're probably right," replied Rakly,"but someone has to go and get him."

Rakly said, "Krystal Fae, I need you to catch up to him and take him back to med bay and get him checked out."

Krystal Fae said, "You got it, I'm on it. I'm going now."

"Death Punch may have a problem sticking to a plan but he at least one big chunk is safely flying away from the Earth," Martial Law replied as he took out five smaller chunks of asteroid.

Rakly spoke up, "Okay people! We still got two large chunks to take care of and countless smaller chunks. Hanzo! Shinobi! Take your platoons and pick a rock to take out. 1st platoon will split up and rejoin Ya'll."

Both Hanzo and Shinobi's platoons started to pick the two large chunks apart. The two chunks broke apart into smaller pieces. Some were still the size of skyscrapers and others about the size of a Volkswagen.

"Hey Hanzo! You seeing this? asked Shinobi. Hanzo said, "Yeah! I'm seeing all kinds of different crystals floating around when we blast a big chunk apart."

Well, grab a few as the fly by. We can add them to our rock collection when we get back. Once a rockhound, always a rockhound." Shinobi quipped.

Hanzo chuckled, "I got a hand full already and a lot of these crystals are different colors. There is also a bunch of powdered crystal along with bits of asteroid. Weirdly though, some of the crystal powder is sticking to my suit and some of the bits of asteroid almost seem to be avoiding our power blasts, like they are being controlled by something."

"Same thing over here!" Shinobi proclaimed. Shinobi got on the communicator, "Platoon 3, some of these chunks are getting past us and they seem to be sentient or at the very least, controlled by something or someone! Make your strikes count and take out as many as you can before they get close to you."

Zen and Anomaly, along with their platoons spread out and start blasting the leftover skyscraper sized remnants with amazing accuracy.

After blasting apart the biggest chunks of asteroid, 1st and 2nd platoons took up positions with 3rd platoon to eradicate the many larger chunks left.

Everyone but Midgardsormr struggled with the thousands of pieces of space rock, he took out the most but after an exhausting near twenty hours of nonstop blasting, the crisis was averted but not without a few scrapes and bruises.



"Great job everyone! Report back to the space station for decontamination then get checked out in med bay," Rakly exclaimed.

Rakly reported back to Nova, "The asteroid is destroyed but we need to look into the crystals that came from the asteroid and there is also some powdered crystal. I don't think it's good that the powdered crystal sticks to our suits. That's not all, some of the fragments of asteroid have a mind of their own. Some of the pieces dodge our blasts."

Nova was just about to summon Quark and Agent Justin when they sounded an alert.

"Nova! Our sensors are picking up another disturbance from the same coordinates as the asteroid we just took out and also, these crystals you have us analyzing are starting to glow a little." reports Quark.

Nova order Quark, "Lock down those crystals in the lab's safe room and tell me the second anything appears in that part of space." Rakly asked Nova, "How are Krystal Fae and Death Punch? They should have been back for a while now. I sent Krystal Fae to fetch Death Punch after he jumped the gun and went all gung-ho on the asteroid and the initial explosion blew Death Punch into deep space."

I can't say Rakly, they never made it back ......

THE BIG BRAWL: THE CHAMPIONS

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205

Welcome back everybody to the final round of The Big Brawl. Papabiche has had a great time, "Vodka for everyone!" It's been nonstop slobber-knockin here in the final round of the Big Brawl. It had almost everything.

Besides all of the fireworks of battle, one fighter lost an eye, but he was able to grow back a new one. He got fresh with Mama-san Chiaki. Never get fresh with Mama-san Chiaki. Gets me a bit riled up.

Then another fighter made a wager and unfortunately lost. He couldn't cover his bet, so I had to collect his Quick Draw legs as payment. He's a bit shorter but it's okay, he says he has another set.

There was one guy whinny with crooked lips that just couldn't be satisfied. He got all prissy and broke the new glassware that Miggy paid for. Guess he didn't get my memo. Well, that whinny dude has something to whine about now. He's still in the corner recovering from the Kancho he caught but that's enough about the fun I had. Let announce the champs decided by round 3 battles.

In division 1, WMD and Chaos Theory had a tight battle all the way up to the end of the round but in the final moments, Chaos Theory blitzed WMD with multiple wins while WMD had some key losses. I guess WMD missed the lesson on chaos theory in school. Chaos Theory takes WMD back to class and claim the gold 96-77. I'm sure WMD will return stronger than ever but as of now, they just got schooled.

Division 2 sees the Angels of Sorcery draw the Big Bang Theory for the championship round. Angels of Sorcery need to check their spell books for better spells as the Big Bang Theory explodes in their space. The Angels get burned as they gave up quite a few defensive wins giving Big Bang Theory the win with an 86-21 victory. Angels go boom. Big Bang gets gold.

In division 3, COLONY 5¹ shuts down Tygger's Freak Show with a decisive victory, 175-5. They really had the Tygger by the tail and pulled hard. COLONY 5¹ team captain is reported to have said, HONK HONK ... HONK HONK HONK .... HONK HONK HONK HONK. I don't know what that means but everyone got pebbles and COLONY 5¹ get gold.

The seraphim Angels get their wings clipped in division 4 as the Fortess of Solitude take the win 68-11. Fortess of Solitude take the gold and the wing clippings. That 'My Pillow' guy will pay them a fortune.

In division 5, Outlaw Inc. shoots up the SOB Hunter/Killers 65-0. That's more of a hold up really. Outlaw Inc. steals the gold from those SOB's 65-0. Well. that don't look right but I ain't fixing it.

The W.a.r.e.h.o.u.s.e couldn't shuffle up and deal with a Stacked Deck in the third round. I don't know if they deal off the bottom, but the Stacked Deck gets the gold in division 6 this hand, 109-40.

ᐯI ᗰᗩᖇᗩᑌᗪEᖇS dismantle the ᗷOᗰᗷ❌Sᑫᑌᗩᗪ 1, 38-11. Maybe ᗷOᗰᗷ❌ just needed a bigger wick. ᗷOᗰᗷ❌ don't go boom! ᐯI ᗰᗩᖇᗩᑌᗪEᖇS wins gold in division 7.

In division 8, Pain Inc. tells Cobra Kai, "You should have used that fancy Crane Kick Daniel showed ya." Oooh! Too soon. Cobra Kai rolls in pain and Pain Inc rolls in gold with a 48-5 victory. Next time, spring for the J.C. Penny black belt.

ᗷOᗰᗷ❌Sᑫᑌᗩᗪ 2 have better luck in division 9 as they take the gold over the MacGregors!!, 45-2. Big wicks hanging out all over the place. Ya'll need to put those away, Its cold out here.

In division 10, SUFFERING rules over 9PLANETS ORBITING, 46-35. SUFFERING takes the gold and now Pluto feels bigger than ever. Don't blame me, Neil Degrasse Tyson said it, not me.

In division 11, Team Cold give the Raiderettes the shivers, and lock out the Raiderettes, 3-0. Team Cold get their first gold. Well done Team Cold. Now put a coat on.

Finally, in division 12, SOB♆ ภєรՇ ๏Ŧ שเקєгร bite the Ivalice Alliance and win the gold,13-0. Ivalice Alliance might want some anti-venom, that bite is gonna leave a mark.

Altogether, I gotta say, "This has been a pretty good first Brawl. It's something new. Let's pour another vodka or four and all raise your glass to the new guy for trying something new and congratulations to all the big winners getting that gold but watch your backs because I hear tell, that everyone is coming for your gold in the next league wars. I say they are all winners but that's just me. Take it from Ole Papabiche, train hard, help each other out and if you break any glasses, you might wanna tighten up. Good night fight fans. This is Papabiche, taking the vodka bottle. Party on Garth.

Game Guide: MORE .... FRIENDS

BY: Todd Goode id# 12205



"Friends .... How many of us have them? ... Friends ...Ones you can depend on ... Friends ..."

Oh, hi. Ya'll caught me jammin. Since ya'll caught me jammin out about friends, let's talk about them for a moment.

Let me snag this line from a song from say back in the day when I was still a youngin. 'Friends' came out in 1990 by Whodini, and the first verse goes a little like this. Sing it if ya know it. "Friends .... How many of us have them? ... Friends ...Ones you can depend on ... Friends ..."

How many of us have them and how many 'MORE' of them do we need in the game. The answer is, as many as we can get and 'MORE'. The 'MORE' friends' the better. How do you get them?



Well, it's pretty easy for the most part. All you have to do is send an in-game friend request, better known as 'Send Teammate Request' button on the players profile page.



Why do you need em? "Friends"? Well, they make you stronger. For every teammate "friend" you have, you will be able to use 5 of their strongest attack power cards, 5 of their strongest defensive power cards and 5 of their strongest Movement cards.

Your team size cannot be higher that your level. So, if you are a level 649 player for example, you can use 3245 attack power cards, 3245 defense power cards and 3245 movement power cards. All from your "Friends". That's a big chunk of power you don't have to pay for. Only your "Friends" strongest cards will be automatically selected to be used with your decks. It's good to know this kinda stuff.

So basically, you want all the "Friends" you can get. Also, you can have more "Friends" than you need per level. They'll have to wait in the wings so to speak and be added to your power decks as you level up. They'll be there when you need them. "Friends ... How many of us have them? ... Friends ...Ones you can depend on ... Friends ..."

Be honest, if you know the song, you were singing along while reading it. No shame in ya game, It's a killer song. Now, how are you gonna get them?

This is what you need to be doing. Go to the battle tab and click it. Jump to the highest-level toon and start teammate/friend requesting there. Click on the first player's name in the list and go to their profile page and click the "send teammate request" button. Next click the battle tab and click on the next name you see. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

No lie though, its gonna take pretty much a whole day to friend request every player in the game, maybe more but if you work your way down to level 80-90 and click that "Send teammate request" button, you will get more friends than you need for a while.



Now, it's important that realize this, especially if you are new player. Some battle lists have "MORE" than one page. From the highest-level player down to level 80-90, there may only be one page of names but from level 1 to 80ish each level will have multiple pages to friend request. So, after you finish page 1 of level 1, you need to click the "MORE" button to see the next page of level ones and so. You will find more friends than you thought possible.

So, work on friend requesting them all and everybody. You will help yourself and also those around you and enjoy the strength increase for those who do not have many friends yet.

Fan-Fiction: THINGS UNDER THE MOUNTAIN

BY: Todd Goode id#12205

It had already been the longest of days. Iboshin Gu had just came down from the King of the Hill victorious in not just one but two harrowing battles. You could see that those battles must have been devastating as his outfit was torn and dirty and his body was bruised and scarred but still continued onward for some food, rest and recuperation for his next inevitable battle. Iboshin Gu thought to himself, "I can't wait to get back to my small village by the sea and do some relaxing."

As he walked further, Iboshin Gu could have sworn he heard his name being called out from a distance. "Iboshin Guuuu." It was faint and dismissed it as being just tired from battle. He continues onward.

Iboshin Gu heard his name called out again like a whisper on the wind. It was ghostly and distant but ever closer as he walked on. Only now, Iboshin Gu was on his guard even in his tired state.

In the distance as he walked, Iboshin Gu could see a dark figure against the darkening mountainside. The figure called out Iboshin Gu's name again and beckoned him over. "Iboshin Gu, come over here to me now."

Reluctantly and guarded, Iboshin Gu approached the mysterious dark figure only to see more clearly that the figure was surrounded by an eerie smoke and was covered by a torn hooded cloak, but the wearer of the cloak floated above the ground and had no discernable face.

The apparition pointed and showed Iboshin Gu a hidden cavity in the rock wall of the mountain he just descended and spoke. "Your skills have served you well champion. You truly are the King of the Mountain top but all you have done is climb. Do you have the skill, strength and courage to descend into the depths of this mountain and learn of the treasures hidden within? The deeper into the depths you can go, the greater the treasures you will be awarded."

"Choose now! Enter and descend the depths or remain atop and continue climbing the same mountain top?"



Iboshin Gu chooses to descend and begins to enter the cavernous cavity of the mountain when the smoky apparition stops him and gives a warning.

"Your path will be dimmed, and your enemies will be very strong. I offer you these three candles. Use them wisely, I will only give you three. Use them to plan your attacks. You may have found other candles while doing patrolling. Save them for the depths of this dark domain and the paths you will discover.

Iboshin Gu enters the dimly lit tunnel only to find two paths to choose from and fighters blocking each path. He must choose one path to go forward. He can see different rewards for each path and the fighters he must choose to face. Which path do I want to take? Which fighter do I fight? Iboshin Gu remembers the apparition's warning. "Use these candles wisely. They will help you decide which fighter and path to take."



Iboshin Gu thinks to himself, "Do I use a candle or take the chance and maybe lose." For if he loses, he will be taken away from under the mountain without a prize.

Iboshin Gu decides to light a candle and sees more clearly which fighter he is more suited to fight and the treasure that awaits upon his victory.

There is some writing on the cavern wall. "Fighters may transport and make changes to their outfit and return by pressing this stony koth icon.

Iboshin Gu chooses the left path as it better suited his strengths. He fights and is victorious. He collects his prize of power and goes further into the deep tunnel cavern.



Iboshin Gu wonders in the cavern until he sees that the path again diverges into two paths but with stronger opponents, only revealed by lighting a second candle. He chooses the right path and fights the fighter blocking his way and collects his power prize.

He chooses a third divergence further into the cavern and is again victorious. He wonders further, exploring his surroundings until he reaches his final destination.

Before Iboshin Gu lies an open and ornate chamber that looks to be a shrine of sorts. Filled with statues of heroes that came before. Iboshin Gu hears movement around him but see nothing but prepares for a battle.

Suddenly a creature appears before Iboshin Gu. The creature bears a striking resemblance to Iboshin Gu. The creature begins to speak in a low toned bass voice. Iboshin Gu is alarmed but ready.

"I am Shade, the dark side of you Iboshin Gu. You may have defeated many opponents to reach this far Iboshin Gu, but you have yet to face your toughest opponent; the one within. Can you defeat the one within? Do you have the power and courage to defeat yourself?"



Iboshin Gu approached the uncanny looking creature, and they were nose to nose. Iboshin Gu simply replied, "Yes."

The battle begins between Iboshin Gu and the creature. The two were equally matched. The battle could go either way, but the evil Shade takes Iboshin Gu nightmare and poison damage and succumbs to the damage and his form begins to dissipate into a mist. Before the mist of Shade clears the area, a voice can be heard.

You have done well Iboshin Gu. You had the courage and strength to defeat your inner demon, the one within. I bestow upon you a new power and a special mystery shuffle token to used when in need.



Iboshin Gu receives his prize and upon doing so, the ornate chamber begins to glow in a blinding light. Iboshin Gu finds himself a long distance away from the mountain and at his village by the shore. He could fight another battle if he wanted, maybe even another mountain but not this day. Iboshin Gu takes a deep breath and slowly releases it. "Today, I rest."

WHERE THEM CONS AT? CONSUMABLES THAT IS

BY: Todd Goode id #12205

People often wonder, what do the patrols offer that is so good. Well, the answer is easy. You are playing a game that's based on creating a character to destroy another character and to create a character you must build it. Part of building a great character is having some great cons (consumables) to help back-up your character toon's power count or the max number of cards for your current level and having more cards than your level max only helps you have to do a little less building when you reach your next level.

Do where do you get these cons anyway? You find them in the patrols, but which cons are the best? How can I find them; a lot of them and keep my xp to a minimum.

Well, you're going to make some xp but you can control the rate at which you acquire it and its not by sitting or camping but crawling. Moving forward at a steady but slow pace. Let the speedsters do the heavy lifting.

"If I only knew where the best cons were?" That is what you may be thinking. Well, there are a few cons that you can find in certain places.

You should be aware, that there are some consumables that drop in every patrol zone. The stimpaks, energy drinks, hateraids and more-fun bars can be found dropping in every patrol, but others that are of great use, drop in particular patrols and zones.



(BREAKING NEWS!!!!! We'll get back to this consumable chart after this brief Announcement. For a very short time in the New Utopia patrol, find THE NIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN zone and play it until after Halloween ends. You are looking for pumpkineggs cons to drop. There are 3 +6% cons to boost your attack, defense and movement and a 5% con for + 5% life boost. Get them while you can. Now, back to our consumable chart.)



You can find a rare Turtle Shell con that give a 10% defense bonus amongst other things like mp, and stronger power cards.

Purgatory Penitentiary has a great many cons to find.







Some of the best cons offered can be found in Ardeal. Play all three patrol zones in Ardeal to take advantage of the fighting cons you can find there.







There are some other cons sprinkled around all patrols that are very rare. Some are good, some not so much, but they are there.

You can find AMA parts in every patrol.

Every patrol zone has a "Finish Now" button if you would like to finish the zone and restart and get to collecting faster. Currently, it will cost you 12mp to speed up and finish and start again.

Every patrol will every once and a while drop Supercharged Test Tube cons that when used, increase a random power card by 1 point to their respective attribute. It doesn't sound like much until you realize that you can add hundreds and sometimes thousands of points to a cards power. Sometimes they will drop for free but most often they will cost 20mp and can be found in your inventory after purchase to use at a time of your choosing. Also, when used, the randomness will often go to the power card you have the most of. That knowledge may help you choose when and how to use the supercharged test tube.

I hope you find this helpful in your search for cons.

LWS SCARDY CATS: ROUND 3 HIGHLIGHTS

BY: Todd Goode id#12205

Hello all you ghastly goblins and ghosties. it's your gruesome twosome back for round 3 of the LWS SCARDY CATS spooktacular. I'm Scarry Harry back with my psychotic sidekick, Pooky. I hope everyone has had a frighteningly ghoul time during this league wars.

Pooky! What in the fool moon kind of get up are you wearing tonight? You look like one of them movie rejects from that 70's movie Saturday Night Dance Fever. I swear, you get more ridiculous each Halloween. You should probably put down, .... again.

Whatever Harry. Hey Harry, you know what kind of monster likes to disco. Let me sing it to ya, "I like the nightlife ... I like to boogie on the disco 'round" .... It's me Harry, I'm the Boogieman. That's right talking head, I'm the Boogieman and you can be the disco ball. Hehehe, I really slay me.

Easy there, killer. You know what a ghoul's favorite drink is Pooky? Its boos, lots and lots of boos, which I'm gonna need after seeing whatever it is you just did there. Maybe we should get to the highlights of the final round.

Okay, corn ball. You take the lead, but before we do, let's thank everyone for their hard work. Thanks for putting this haunted shindig together and thanks to all the teams that participated. Thank you everyone. Now on with the highlights.

In division 1 we see the two top teams going for the gold. Chaos Theory vs WMD.

What is chaos theory Harry? Well, Pooky, the proper definition is the branch of mathematics that deals with complex systems whose behavior is highly sensitive to slight changes in conditions, so that small alterations can give rise to strikingly great consequences but if you ask me. it's a group of volatile loose cannons that came together to take gold in division 1 with massive destruction.

Thanks Harry, for that horrific and unbearably huge bowl of word salad. You could have just said, Chaos Theory takes the gold from WMD, 96-60.

My bad Pooky. I am a talking head after all. Anyway, in division 3, those sorcerous Angels got their wings cut by Colony 5¹, 76-8.

In division 4, The Creatures of the Night get beaten and locked up in the dungeons of Fortress of Solitude for their loss. 126-37.

Hey! and Harry, in division 7, the Avengers 5¹ Walking Dead were victorious over the VI Marauders, 100-89. They made a bloody good meal for those Walking Dead. mmmmm .... brains .... goood. Also in division 7, Bowtie Karaoke and The Star Force who were tied earlier in the round but concluded with The Star Force cutting bowties for the victory, 70-57. Stay tuned for that new program, "Karaoke in Space" following the closing of LWS SCARDY CATS.

Don't forget the other last battle in division 7, Pooky. The W.A.R.E.H.O.U.S.E. shelve the SOB Society of Members of Dismembers with their own butcher's hooks. SOB just hangs around after that loss, 77-75.

That's right Harry can't forget them. I gotta say Harry, I think, overall, division 7 put on the best show of round 3. Congratulations to those guys for giving us a terribly horrific bloody good round.

Yes Pooky, it was a wicked round of mayhem unlike division 13. The battle between the 7 Musketeers and The Devious Dozen had their fighters forget to show up for round 3 causing another needless tie. I think they must have been abducted by Shadow Aliens or maybe the Grim Reaper came to sow and got em all. Who knows.

Well folks, that's a mummy wrap for LWS SCARDY CATS. Again, thanks everyone for their hard work. Thanks for putting this haunted shindig together and thanks to all the teams that participated. Thank you everyone, you were all horribly terrific which is way better than terrifically horrible. This has been Scary Harry and Pooky reporting. We'll be lurking around for some Trick or Treating. Trick or Treating starts on the 29th at 6pm spooky time.

...... I hope they got the good stuff this year. All I got last year was two potatoes and a ring Precious.

Shut up Pooky!!!! Hahahaha

LWS SCARDY CATS: ROUND 2 HIGHLIGHTS

BY: Todd Goode id#12205

Hello all you creepy crawlies. Welcome back to round 2 of LWS SCARDY CATS. I'm Scary Harry here with my weirdly dressed sidekick, Pooky.

Pooky! What in the whole wide underworld of sports are you wearing? You look like you're getting ready to fight your way out of a wet paper bag.

Call me, Jukey Pooky, you bowling ball with teeth. These is my fighting duds. I'm putting on an exhibition fight tonight during intermissions.

Okay there Jukey Pooky, don't get your bones crossed. Go on ahead and show off that knuckle only sammich you got. I gotta warn you though, Nova brought his rottweilers again and you know how much they like chewing on old bones.

Quite right there motormouth. I think I'll just stay up here with you where its safe and do the round 2 highlights with you. Them devilish hounds already got a couple of ribs from the last Halloween league wars. Speaking of highlights, maybe we should get started Harry.

We had a lot of great battles in round 2 Pooky. We even had two battles end in a tie and one of those battles has gone into double overtime. Division 11's Comfort Zone and Bomb X Squad mini were tied 0-0 at the end of regulation play to trigger overtime. Bomb X Squad mini broke that tie within mere minutes with a volley of their mini bomb grenades. Who likes fighting the full 32 hours anyway?

I can answer that ball head. That would be the division 9 teams of Lothlorien and Hellsgate who were tied 86-86 at the end of regulation time and still remain tied at 86-86 eight hours later. We'll find out who won that one next Halloween.

Still great fights though, Pooky. I'd give em all 2 thumbs up if I weren't so thumb impaired an all.

It's all good there, mush mouth, you can still just smirk em to death. Hehehe.

Shut up Pooky. We got other highlights to report on, so let us get to it. I'll start it off with division 3 Colony 51 vs The Seraphim Angels. It was still a crazy tight race in D3. There they were, locked in a tie for most of the round, the two powerhouse teams of the division staring each other down madly, like someone said something about each other's mama. Who will make the move? Who will launch the attack that sets it all ablaze?

Well, I'll tell ya. Folks, after nearly 24hours of endless taunts and stare downs, Ole Captain Bob blew Zen the kiss of death and then it happened. After a super speedy dodge to steer clear of that kiss of death, Zen started to visibly shake and honk loudly. Electricity cracked all around his penguin body and he began to change into another form.

I thought it was a myth, but it turns out the myth is true. Zen stood there in his final magnificent form. THE PENGUISHER did exist. He shot off like a missile towards his angelic foes and began to flipper whip the whole team of angels. Not once but twice, then returned to the rest of his team. He stood there all bloody and looked to the sky as the rest of his teammates steadily preened and said, we are merciful and ordered one of his students that had been watching to send them each a pebble. The Colony's lead penguin, THE PENGUISHER, takes the win 14-0.



That was well said jabber jaw.

Awwwe, thanks Pooky. Which battles did you want to highlight on this dark night.

Well, Harry, I enjoyed the battle in division 7 between the Avenger's Walking Dead and Pain Inc. They both were tied near the end at 66 wins each until Stained of Pain Inc attacked Beastmode and lost while the Newbie spanked Spanko to finish off Pain Inc. 68-66 for the victory.

I also very much enjoyed watching the Ateam battle the MacGregors to 58-46 victory in division 8, the team of Purgatory Penitentiary in division 13 lock up the Devious Dozen 47-42 and throw away the key. More great fight in those two battles than I could point a boney finger at Harry.

Those were some fine highlights Pooky and that will about wrap it for all the highlights in round 2 of LWS SCARDY CAT. Congrats to the victorious. Prepare for round 3 folks. It's gonna be scary. ooooooh. Me and Pooky gonna go find us someone to bite.

BEST FIGHTS OF LWS SCARDY CATS: ROUND 1

BY: Todd Goode id#12205

Welcome guys and ghouls to round 1 of LWS SCARDY CAT. Scary Harry here, reporting on some of the killer action with my sidekick Pooky.

How are you tonight Pooky? You old bag of bones.

I'm doing good you ole talking head. Are you ready for that game of kickball?

Heck No! Last time I got a bloody nose and can't right now anyways. We gotta talk about round. what did you think about it Pooky?

Well Harry, it was pretty scary. See what I did there? The usual teams did their thing and slaughtered dang near everyone. I'm looking forward to some fresh meat in future league wars since the new guy took over and has been making some big changes. I wish I knew his name, but I can say this he was Just in here a minute ago. He had to leave. A couple of zombies had to be taken out and he is having their car towed. Butt enough about that. Let's get to the reporting. Who were your top battles in round 1 Harry?

Yeah, I saw the new guy. He had one long arm and another the same length with two real short legs. Good looking fellow. Welcome abroad. I mean Welcome aboard. Dang talk to text is acting up again.

Well, Pooky. I really enjoy a close battle. The kind that has you on the edge of your seat where you could almost role off. Them is the good ones.

I'd say division 4 had two of the best battles. Fortress of Solitude gathered the bounty on The Outlaws Inc. in a close battle. The Outlaws were arrested 67-64. The Creatures of the Night couldn't be hunted down by the SOB Hunter/killer crew as they lose 90-77.

Yep, those were two great battles Harry. I really enjoyed the battle in division 5. Bad Moon Rising just eclipsed Tygger's Freak Show, 78-61. Beware the wolves in the night.

I agree Pooky. I was howling at the moon after that battle but for my last great fight of round 1, I chose Division 8. The Freaks of Nature butchered the guys from SOB Meatlocker. and leave them with a broken freezer of meat, 91-85.

That about wraps it up like a mummy for round 1 guys and ghouls. Take some rest and get ready for round 2. It's going to be a bloodbath. This has been Scary Harry with Pooky, reporting. we'll be lurking forward to round 2 battles.
