The Remembrance, Part 2
As Chronicled by DL-Cobalt, Star Colonel & Loremaster

Thursday, Dec.4 3097 - Banish vs. Cyberbum: The ToP
The Loremaster received this HPG transmission from Comstar a few days ago; "When we went in I didn't even know this was the ToP; Cyberbum had just said we were going to practice for it. He'd scared me when we fist started, because for all I knew he was hitting, and I wasn't; I found this was wrong when he blew up! I got another kill in before he finished off my mech, for a 2-1 score. The same thing was repeated almost exactly, making the score 4-2. I got the next kill, winning the game, when Cyberbum told me that "as far as I'm concerned, you just won the ToP." He congratulated me, and informed me he would be ToP'ing me shortly! :-) " - DL-Banish

A bit unorthodox, but certainly valid within the rules and in the eyes of the clan! Welcome to Star Captaincy, Banish!

Sunday, Dec.7 3097 - Dark Legion Updates
The news this week ranged from the satisfying to the melancholy.
The scent of expended autocannon shells mingled with the stench of exhausted laser carbines and scorched metal, as Mechsiren set her sights on Kharn's Star Colonel rank. No eyewitness account was received, but both warriors agreed it was a good match, with Kharn's experience edging out Mechsiren's agressive tactics in a 5-3 victory and retaining his rank. The Loremaster salutes both of you.
Another victory, albeit of the walkover variety, was scored by our Khan WarKat, when the Death Jester Combine did not respond to his Khan War challenge in the alloted time (plus 2 days, for good measure). Not the desired method, but when the opponent will not defend his honor on the battlefield, what is one to do...?
On a down note, another DL vet was forced to take an extended leave due to pc problems. Our beloved Bloody Finger has, of late, been totally unable to launch Mech2 AT ALL, for unknown technical reasons, and will be stepping down for a time (one which we all hope will be of short duration). As Bloody Moon has offered his assistance to his 'Bloody Bro', we expect this problem to be resolved shortly.

The latest look at the hp point totals shows us still in 2nd place, trailing TC 23,781 to 22,095, with a battle record of 111-82 (although the Loremaster thinks this may change soon, assuming the Khan war points haven't been added in yet.) Many of the clans are pulling in new members in record (but haphazard) numbers, and since we maintain our strict recruiting standards, it's up to the current roster to stay active, and keep bringing the points in.

On the recruiting front, we welcome 2 new ones; OverKill2 and Wayne1, even as Scuzz Fuddly became a full-fledged cadet. Welcome and congratulations, all!

Friday, Dec.12 3097 - The Quietest War Of All

The Dark Legion JumpShips entered Death Jester Combine territory at a pirate point, DropShips carrying the finest DL MechWarriors deployed to fast-burn orbits around most of their worlds, and combat drops to hot-zones commenced immediately after the batchalls were done. And what did the 1st few glimpses of DJC territory reveal?
Nothing...absolutely nothing. No armaments, no defenses, no Mechs or MechWarriors to man them. Nothing but silence...

The Khan war (which netted the Dark Legion 2400 points) went to us, uncontested; disappointing and unexpected. Last night, however, the high-water mark of incredulity was raised out of sight.
At least 7 Dark Legionnaires gathered for the 1st Planet War, for the DJC home planet of Ogreworld; also present were several DJCs, chief among them Star Colonel Sefra (appointed to defend the planet with Ogremagi). The senior DL officer present, Galaxy Commander Lord Ace, selected Yours Truly as wingman for this attack. We both anticipated a glorious struggle, and the fruits of victory at its end...
...but such was not to be. In what has to rank as the most stunning event ever in my Mplayer experience, Ogremagi (despite having been on-and-off Mplayer several times during all this) did not show up for the battle he scheduled! Even more shockingly, NO OTHER DJC WOULD STEP FORWARD WITH SEFRA TO DEFEND THEIR HOMEWORLD!!! Nova Commander HalfBreed hemmed-and-hawed over the matter, ultimately deciding "not to get involved". At the last, Sefra declined to defend the planet alone, putting the final nail in the coffin of this shameful affair.
Ace had no choice but to declare Ogreworld ours in forfeit, but let's look at the larger question; why? Is there some hidden strategy in conceding their worlds to us without a fight, that I am unable to fathom? Is the DJC in that much disarray, that its leaders and warriors both are paralyzed into indecision? What could be happening here, beyond the obvious...?
If this continues, those that record history will certainly point to these events as the final, embarrassing curtain being drawn upon the once-formidable DJC, departing the MNL stage not with a defiant clenched fist, but a weak wave of surrender...

A precursor to all of this, of course, was the ToP challenge between Lord Ace and Psiwolf, for Psiwolf's GalComm rank. Ace's plan was to manuever into better position to get involved in the DJC Planet wars; though details are sketchy, Ace won the battle, 5-2. Hail the new Galaxy Commander!

The Dark Legion welcomed back one of its own this week, as Star Commander Xenic returned to the active ranks, phone problems a thing of the past. Your absence was fiercely felt, young sir!

More on the ongoing DJC War as HPG transmissions come in...
PS - Okay, everyone line up, and smack the Loremaster in the back of the head as he walks past; I completely forgot one other item of huge import to the clan. Star Colonel Mr. Smilie's Star now bears the fearsome banner of...the Blood Sabers! This newly-christened company now joins the Ravenwing, Dark-Blood and the Obsidian Blade in the most impressive Star lineup ever to prowl the MNL, and with Smilie as their commander, they'll certainly live up to that name!

Saturday, Dec.13 3097 - The War Goes On

Numerous Dark Legionnaires gathered last night, undoubtedly hungry for the latest news regarding the DJC Planet wars, and Khan WarKat was in attendance to fill us in.
The planet that Lord Ace & I captured on 12/11 was NOT Ogreworld, although it was indeed the DJC homeworld; the battle for Ogreworld will be contested on Sun. 12/14 at an as-yet-unspecified time. It is expected that the Khan will lead an unchosen-at-this-time wingman into this one himself (that is, presuming the suddenly-dwindling ranks of DJC have someone left at that time to send). No arrogance intended, but the presence of our greatest warrior virtually guarantees that Ogreworld will be ours by sunup Monday morning...
The ill omens for DJC continue to mount; the Khan intercepted a Comstar transmission, which revealed that the mighty Vanyar, perhaps their most capable MechWarrior, had resigned from the clan! At this rate of attrition, there might not be anyone left above the rank of recruit or cadet to defend Ogreworld by tomorrow night...!

All is not quite settled within the Dark Legion's ranks, either. Newly-crowned Galaxy Commander Lord Ace received a ToP challenge from Psiwolf, from whom he wrested the rank to begin with. Ah, the mind doth reel indeed, at the thought of these 2 veteran combatants having at it again!!! In the words of ring announcer Michael Buffer, "Let's Get Ready To RRUMMBLLE!!!"

Sunday, Dec.14 3097
Due to localized solar-flare interference, the latest batch of HPG dispatches was somewhat delayed, but the early word is in; Nova Commander Shrapnel, in a surprise ToP challenge, wrested BloodyMoon's Nova Captain rank away on Friday. The full account will follow in the next entry.
In the meantime, we have a new DL homepage, designed by Star Commander Xenic; the address is www.qtm.net/~freemde. Please take a moment to stop by, and view our young warrior's work!

Monday, Dec.15 3097 - The Ever-Changing Dark Legion
Hang on to your neurohelmets, fellow Legionnaires; there have been rank changes a-plenty in the DL, and the Loremaster is gonna try to straighten them out for us all!
First things first; the Loremaster's HPG uplink received this Comstar transmission on 12/13/97 - "At approx. 2300 hr.s Friday, 2 cunning warriors entered battle on the cold world of Derf to conduct a Trial of Position. BloodyMoon, the distinguished Nova Captain had received the call to battle from Nova Commander Shrapnel a scarce 30 min.s prior. The night conditions in the high-elevation Alpha & Beta Nav bases provided an excellent stage for these 2 honorable players to act out their battle of Honor; class 4, .75 grav.
Shrapnel started the fray by charging deep into the heart of BloodyMoon's Alpha base; a scant 45 seconds, bearing heavy damage from his opponent's missiles, Shrapnel scored the 1st kill of the night, with 40 missiles striking BloodyMoon's center torso. Shortly after BloodyMoon regenerated, his missile fire found its target with unerring accuracy. He scored the kill quickly, and in a display of sheer defiance, headed directly for Shrapnel's base. The 2 proved their honor again and again, complimenting each other on the skill of each successive kill. After a final regen, Shrapnel grouped 2 small pulse lasers with a UAC-10, and charged directly towards a nearly-undamaged BloodyMoon. A furious exchange of projectiles and missiles took place, resulting in Srhapnel attaining the final kill of the fray - final score, Shrapnel 5, BloodyMoon 3." - DL-Shrapnel
A truly riveting account - we thank and congratulate the new Nova Captain!

As a result, perhaps, of this ToP, BloodyMoon has requested, and been granted, a leave of absence. He has been assigned the rank of 2nd Mech in the Obsidian Blade. The Khan has called a Grand Melee for the open Nova Commander position, to be conducted next weekend.

That's not it just yet; Mr. Smilie, in yet another ToP, assumed the rank of Nova Commander, defeating Gunner (no details of this battle yet available). Gunner, perhaps feeling the same burnout as BloodyMoon, has elected to not participate in the Grand Melee.

With Bloody Finger on leave, a Grand Melee has also been called for the open Star Captain rank; presumably, Xenic, Gunship1 and Cyberbum will have at it for that position.

Even with our recruiting office on hiatus for 1 week, the songs of DL glory still ring out across the league; another recruit has joined the ranks. DLr-Drakko (formerly H3mP) is a Mechwarrior of major prowess and experience, who is welcome indeed among us!

The news is not yet in on the results of the battle for DJC's Ogreworld, as Mplayer crashed just prior to the battle's inception (though we can rest assured; with WarKat and Lord Ace on the attack, the Dark Legion's totem is surely planted on Ogreworld's highest peak e'en now...)

Wednesday, Dec.17 3097 - Dark Legion Update
Attend, my fellow Legionnaires; the return ToP has been completed, and Lord Ace turned back Psiwolf's bid to regain his Galaxy Commander rank, by the final score of 5-1. Ace, with his eyes on yet another prize, has sent the email ToP challenge to SaKhan Chico-Ne. No news yet on time, class and conditions; I will keep you posted!!!
In HP battle news, Nova Commander Mr. Smilie & Star Colonel Cobalt took on DJCs NovaComm HalfBreed & StarCol GothicKlown in a class 1 Hainfield dust-up on 12/15. Despite some highly suspicious "activity" by Klown (excessive lagging, imperceptible damage-taking), Smilie pretty much batted HalfBreed around like a kitten with a ball of string, carrying the DL to a 6-3 victory.

Saturday, Dec.20 3097 - Dark Legion Update
As anticipated, activity has slowed to a semi-crawl as we near the apex of the holiday season (Xmas, Hannukah, Kwaanza, New Year's); family, friends, gift-giving and feasting take precedence, as they should. A lull in the hp battles, during this celebratory and reflective time of year, is probably as welcome as it is proper.
...which is not to say that NOTHING is happening! The weekend of the 2 Melees (for Star Captain and Nova Commander) is upon us, and we eagerly await the Khan's word on the conditions and schedule of the latter. Star Commander Xenic has been seen frequently, training in preparation for the fray. Hopefully by sun-up Monday, we should know the outcomes thereof!
Nova Commander Smilie & I have prowled the various battlehalls in the meantime, and we turned up a match last night; a class 4 brawl at Tinaca vs. SCs StarCol hubuz and StarComm Racer X. In a reversal of my recent fortunes, I was actually contributing some kills to the match, and we seemed well on our way to an easy victory, when hubuz executed an incredible move. With his Timberwolf on 1 leg and Smilie circling for the kill, I launched 2 LRM-20 flights at him. Hubuz anticipated my attack, then jetted to a position where Smilie would shield him from the LRMs; I got him, but fragged Smilie in the process!!!
My confidence was a bit shaken after that, with my kill total dropping from 3 to 1 (-2 for killing a wingman), but we hung in, and when Smilie called HOLD, we still managed to get the victory. 6-4. Smilie & I talked about it afterwards, and we agreed; it was simply a brilliant & gutsy move by a tough opponent, and no fault of my own (still felt crappy about it, though).

I finally made my acquaintence with our recruit OverKill2 last night; he had some unfortunate lag-outs during our practices, and needs to be brought up to speed on battle etiquette, but we think all can be learned, hopefully soon.

Another potential recruit has turned up, 1 MysticWolf by name. I met this gentleman on Thursday, and found him to be a fine fellow; I ask that you welcome him, should he be granted recruit status.

On a more serious note, Drakko has recently had an illness crop up in the family; I would ask that those of us who do (pray, that is), offer a prayer or thought on his behalf that all turns out well...

And, on a less serious note, I had the opportunity to sit in on a MNL Grand Council meeting this past week. About that I will say this; a better scribe than I once said that, if you put 100 monkeys in a room with 100 typewriters with infinite paper and patience, they would eventually recreate the collected works of Shakespeare. I believe 2 weeks after that, the Council might actually get something done...
A major decision has been made on the Dark Legion's own policies this week; the Khan has declared that we will no longer war with TC, the reasons being numerous and obvious. The Loremaster, for one, applauds this action.

Sunday, Dec.21 3097 - Nothing More Certain Than Change
Time, as they say, marches on, and the shifting sands are ever-changing... which is to say, keep your bookmarks here, fellow Legionnaires, for all the DL news I can dig up!

First, a correction; contrary to a previous entry, Galaxy Commander Lord Ace did NOT send a ToP challenge to SaKhan Chico-Ne. The Loremaster regrets any confusion or uncertainty this erroneous report may have caused.

Good news! DLr-Drakko's son is much improved; we hope that the holiday season is that much happier in the Drakko household!
The Star Captain Melee is completed; though absenteeism was the rule of the day, due to his recent comeback and subsequent activity, new Star Captain Xenic is more than deserving of the promotion. Stand tall, Xenic!
The Nova Commander Melee is in its last stage; Bloody Hell emerged from the initial 3-person round as the winner, over Mechsiren & Cobalt. He now faces Kharn, at a time to be announced.

The Khan, without going into too much detail, has mentioned re-doing the ranks, possibly adding a 3rd Binary (which should mean 1 additional NovaComm, 2 more StarCols, etc.) The Loremaster will pass along the details when they happen...

The DL has a new recruit, Maniac 777, and our initial impression was that he's a bit... unpolished, shall we say? However, I will not snap-judge; let time reveal all!

As predicted in an earlier entry, the Dark Legion totem now stands on the highest peak on OgreWorld, the planet having been wrested from DJC control by Khan WarKat & GalComm Lord Ace on 12/20. There may be a change in our attack strategy regarding DJC; more info when the next HPG transmission from the Khan comes through.

Tuesday, Dec.23 3097 - A Tale Of 2 Battles

It must be a rare event for a MechWarrior to experience a humiliating defeat... and then score a hugely redemptive victory, all on the same night. It happened to Star Colonel Cobalt last night...
Lord Ace had gone a-hunting, and found a battle for us with White Phoenix, with one condition: I'd have to drop in weight. Not a problem, I said, thinking, "I'm the guy always harping about having mech models for all classes ready at all times". As we prepared to face Khan Cyril and his wingman, I realized I hadn't updated my HellBringers in quite some time; oh, I had a C1 available, it just wasn't up to my current state of mech-building know-how (the weapon selection wasn't the best).
Suffice it to say, we got trashed, 9-5, and Ace was justifiably angered at my mech selection. I was pretty disappointed in myself as well...
...so when WP-SuperClone came looking for war, I saw a chance to make something of the night. Figuring he had Cyril waiting in the "wing", Star Captain Xenic & I agreed, desiring only C4 as our 1condition. They agreed, and we launched into the murk of Hainfield.
Xenic & I had preplanned our strategy: double-team the Star Captain, and steer clear of the Khan. Thanks to Xenic's evasion and our teamwork, we worked the plan to almost-perfection; I lagged out with all 4 kills, while WP had 2 kills each. When we resumed, we made short work of Cyril, and I called HOLD with the 5th and final kill.

The lessons learned here? Never rest on your laurels, that you neglect your mech-building and -improving skills, and never give up on yourself after a defeat; another chance to prevail may be just around the corner...!

Friday, Dec.26 3097 - The Holiday Slowdown

As the holiday lights begin their glow, and Winter's grip pervade s the land, MNL activity has slowed its frenetic pace to a Xmas-to-New-Year's crawl. Actually that's as it should be; itme must be made for family, gift-giving, college football and general over-indulgence. To all my fellow Legionnaires, remember these time-honored words of wisdom; Don't Drink And Drive (you might spill it!)
In DL news, the latest MNL points-page update shows us still in 2nd place behind TC, 26,259 to 23,086 (116 wins, 88 losses); the Loremaster wonders, however, how accurate this total is. The Planet War update shows us with 7 wars to fight, and none fought; I, of course, have either participated in or witnessed the taking of 2 DJC worlds. Consider also that the MNL page lists 2 new official clans, CDW & KW, but offers no information about either, and the Warrior listing has Dark Legion still listed as TGW (along with most of the TGWs who retired still listed as active); I find it hard to put much stock in the reliability of the point totals, in light of the other erroneous info.
Speculation has begun about the imminent rank changes; recent history lends credence to the possibility that the less-active among us will be demoted, and some of the more recent additions to the ranks will soon be piloting bigger mechs. Again, this is as it should be; the Dark Legion needs active members to BE active.
Though it's not been officially announced, I would be remiss in not welcoming back a TGW/DL mainstay and comrade, my predecessor as Loremaster, OneEyeBill. As was foretold, a place in our ranks has always been there, and he has elected to reclaim it. Welcome back to the DL battle hall, brother!

Tuesday, Dec.30 3097 - Dark Legion Update

O my fellow Legionnaires, has there been more momentous 4 days in the DL's life? I think not, for more moving and shaking has occurred within our ranks over that time than with the average California quake!!! Everyone grab your scorecards, and try to follow along as best you can...

Like the colors of a kaleidoscope, the DL ranks continue to shift. We heartily congratulate the following individuals for the ranks they've recently obtained-
Drakko, catapulted from Cadet to Star Colonel (WOW!),
Mechsiren, acknowledged ToP of Gunner, to BloodSaber Star Colonel (congrats to my Starmate!),
Xenic, promoted to Star Colonel (more to follow),
Scuzz Fuddly, promoted to Star Captain,
OneEyeBill, rejoining the ranks as Recruit (not for long, I'm guessing!),
MysticWolf, now an official Recruit (also not for long!)

For all who moved up, we regretfully announce 2 who are moving out. For conduct unbecoming a Dark Legionnaire, the recruit status of OverKill2 & Maniac 777 was removed; if anyone sees these 2 in DL uniform, please ask them to wear it no longer.

Star Colonels Xenic & Drakko head the as-yet-unnamed 5th & 6th Stars of the newly-created 3rd Binary, whose Nova Commander leadership has been filled by a certain Loremaster of your intimate acquaintance...

Due to the staggering pile of Comstar transmissions received by this office in the last 2 days (14 total!), other matters of clan interest may be left for a forthcoming entry, but some salient matters may be summarized as follows:

At Sunday's meeting, Lord Ace reported having sent a ToP challenge to our noticeably-seldom-seen SaKhan Chico-Ne; I believe the scheduled date is either 12/30 or 12/31.
A new proposal from Nova Colonel Psiwolf is being reviewed, regarding changes in Trials of Position, Grand Melees, Melees, and the introduction of clan Bloodnames. When the email is released, I suggest ALL DL warriors study it closely, for these matters affect us all (and a side note to all who read this: please try to make the Sunday meetings, and let your voice be heard!).
As was previously reported, OgreWorld fell to the combined might of Khan WarKat & Galaxy Commander Lord Ace. In the interim, the Death Jester Combine has a old/new Khan at its head, OgreMagi; he has already notified our Khan of his intention to retake the 2 worlds we took from them. In light of certain other interClan announcements and policy-changes (which will be spelled out in the next entry), the Dark Legion has refocused our attacks, and DJC is squarely in our crosshairs. We shall brush them aside, as a lion swats a gnat!!!

Okay, let's all take a collective breath, stretch out the kinks, and return in a bit for the next entry...!

Saturday, Jan.3 3098 - Dark Legion Update

As the New Year rang in, not the chiming of bells and the singing of "Auld Lang Syne", but the pounding of armor, the banshee-wail of screaming missiles & the sibilant hiss of laserfire did I hear, entrenched in the 1st hp battle of '98 with my Starmate Mechsiren. Alas, as Ares would have it, the victory was not ours that night, but as I've grown fond of saying - points is points, and a whole year of battles lay before us...

Perhaps the most important news from the last meeting was that the Khan has elected, in his wisdom, to wipe the slate clean for the TC, and once again allow us to war with them. We applaud whatever information or revelation caused this change, for it has reaped immediate benefits for us; Drakko & I defeated TCs Nova Captain Tabmow & Star Colonel Max.S in a class 2 battle (despite some rule violations on their part, which they didn't care to take responsibility for), final score 7-6. Hopefully, the TC have renounced their scurrilous ways, and we may begin to reel in their points lead head-to-head!
No news yet on the ToP challenge issued to SaKhan Chico-Ne from Lord Ace; we believe it was to happen either 12/30-31, but no verified account has yet reached our ears...
More and more, the clarion call of Dark Legion reaches the ears of the freeborn and experienced clansmen alike; when the recruitment doors re-opened, a veritable flood of potential inductees stormed in. In addition to new recruits Demon-ds and MF2HD, others seeking recruit status are Killer1-8-7 & TalonMDK; also, rumor has it that a certain "swine" faction of Star Colonel Drakko's acquiantence may follow in his footsteps...
Debate continues apace about the proposed new Trail of Position rules, and also the "Bloodname" issue; we expect by Sunday meeting's end, these 2 matters will be resolved to everyone's mutual satisfaction.

Get hot, fellow Legionnaires; the DJC offensive resumes this weekend, defending the DL territories formerly known as Ogreworld and the DJC homeworld. As they are ours now, perhaps re-naming of these worlds is in order; how does "Jester's End" or "Ogre's Sorrow" sound...?

To close out this entry, we'd like to welcome back Captain CERC & Banish, seldom seen and sorely missed, to the more-active list; time to make up for lost time, brothers, and get those honor points rolling in...!

Sunday, Jan.4 3098 - A Bad Night For Our Foes
As the twin suns herald the dawn of another spectacular day here on the Throneworld of the DL Imperium, the Comstar transreceptor is already spitting out communiques about last night's activities...

The exact totals aren't in yet, but the Loremaster has personal knowledge of 4 hp battles we conducted against DJC, 3 of which are in-the-bag winners, and the 4th is expected to be. Drakko & Smilie defeated DJCs 2Sinister & Fernando1 TWICE in back-to-back battles (class 1 & class 4), 7-1 and 7-2. Gunner & I took on DJCs Ogremagi & Jaydin Wulfe, handing them a solid class 4 defeat, 8-5. The 4th battle, with WarKat and Gunner facing DJCs Sween1 & one whose name escapes me (they all look alike, in those foolscaps-and-skulls), should be another victory for DL.
The bad news doesn't end there for them, however. The Khan has bestowed the honor of defending our latest planetary acquisition upon SaKhan Chico-Ne, Star Colonel Drakko & myself (Chico to serve as back-up if either of the principals are absent). We shall NOT allow the DL totem to be removed from this world; it is ours, and will remain ours...!

Monday, Jan.5 3098 - Dark Legion Sunday Meeting

Once again, the Dark Legion experienced a glorious turn-out for the Sunday meeting; fully 3/4 of all Legionnaires were present, and those unable to attend having good reasons for their absence. And timely this turnout was, as many topics were discussed and resolved. Herewith, the recap of topics discussed-
1) The matter of the TC "pig" squad joining DL was settled; due to their primary support withdrawing that support, there was no reason to consider the matter further.
2) Promotions/Demotions - MysticWolf & Demon-ds stepped up into cadet status, with greater promotions likely, while OneEyeBill was promoted to Star Commander of Obsidian Blade. On the down side, for inactivity and non-communication DeathMerchant & Cyberbum were demoted, to 1st MechWarrior & Star Commander, respectively. These actions by the Khan can be considered lenient, considering the alternative (exile), in the hope that these 2 will find their way back to the active ranks soon.
3) The new Trial of Position protocols were presented, and universally agreed upon. The BloodName/BloodRight innovation was essentially accepted also, though perhaps some tweaking of the details may follow; we heartily applaud Nova Colonel Psiwolf for his tireless devotion to improving the clan. Seyla, brother.
4) The 2 teams are set for defending our recent planetary additions from DJC attack; Smilie & Shrapnel comprise one team, while I have the honor of winging with Drakko on the other. Let the Jesters tread lightly, for Darkness falls...soon!
5) I would be remiss if I didn't extend a hearty congratulations to all who sought and fought hp battles this weekend; the Dark Legion certainly made its presence felt (and feared) throughout the MNL, with all the points garnered between Friday and Sunday!

One other situation to report on; due to our brother Lord Ace's bad-luck-upon-bad-luck week, the ToP challenge issued to SaKhan Chico-Ne is as yet unresolved. The feeling is this battle is not long in coming; check in frequently, as I will post the results as soon as Comstar sends them in!
