Not too bad.

And if she really was killed by an Adept, you'd might as well forget about
it.  Nobody in your arena is going to get on your back about not avenging
that death.  Maybe you can get a belated bloodfeud later, though.

LU
ST  9 + 0 =  9
CN 10 + 0 = 10
SZ  7 + 0 =  7
WT 15 + 6 = 21
WL 15 + 6 = 21
SP  9 + 0 =  9
DF  5 + 2 =  7

I've played, off and on, for over 7 years, and I've never gotten a roll-up
that had a chance at 21 WT/WL.  You're one lucky bastard,  Don't pass up
the opportunity: go 21/21 today!

maybe... :)

Dump the PR *NOW*.  Don't wait to get a rep as a PR who can't handle
lungers.  Not everyone is going to hit as lightly as this guy did
(sounds like a little damage lunger to me -- was he small?), and the
LUs, SLs, STs, and BAs will be lining up to challenge this PR (and
devastate your team W/L).

DUMP HIM TODAY!!!
