Yeah, all of my (living) warriors are 1-1-0, and the guy that killed
mine is now 4-4-2 (35) (he became an adept as a result of that fight).
I've already decided that revenge is out of the question right now.
Maybe, *maybe* in a few turns, if one of mine is doing exceptionally
well, I'll go ahead and try to bloodfued on the 4th turn, but I think
that right now I'd just be asking for another rollup if I tried a
bloodfeud. (I think this is what you meant)

I dunno. I agree that 21/21 WT/WL looks awfully nice, but a 7 DF looks
pretty low. I don't know if I really want to deal with that. What a
couple of people have suggested, and what I'm leaning towards is a
9-10-7-17-21-9-11 LU or PL. It's been pointed out that as an
inexperienced manager, a LU would be easier to run, since I'd only
have a couple of options on how to fight him, and that's prolly right,
but I think I may just go with the PL, because he'd be more flexible
in the long run, and give me more chances to try new things. I'd
prolly be better off sticking to the LU, true, but the PL seems like
more fun, and that's what I'm managing a stable for, anyway. :)

Hmmm, maybe I should try a bloodfued with this guy. Kill two birds
with one fight. :) If he wins (by some miracle) I've got my revenge, and
if he loses, he'll prolly get killed in the process, and I can start
over with a frsh rollup. Of course, then I've got another death to
revenge. Hmmm... Naw, he'd prolly just lose, but not die. I think I'll
just let this death slide, and DA my PR soon.
