What are you doing fighting a 10-21-? AB?!?  My God, there are style vs style
matchup advantages, but this is ridiculous!!! :)  Sounds like you've had 3
bad breaks and two terrible matchups.  The difference between an 8-2 record
and a 5-5 record ain't much, especially with the matchups you've been getting.

Sounds like you can clone any warrior you like, as long as the manager doens't
mind (and since most of the really old characters are managed by RSI's founders,
I don't think that'll be a problem).  The catch, as I see it, is that many of
these characters built their records on the fact that they were run by people
who knew what was going on when no one else did.  Can you imagine what kind of
a record your lunger could compile against people who still think that WT isn't
necessary for Bashers, or that Speed is the best thing that could ever happen
to a Striker?

If I get a TC (and I probably won't, but if I did) I would want to clone
Necron-99, then Mahatma Gumby, E. Hemingway, Furious Impaler, Donatello II,
and Madame Butterfly (she of the 3 Grand Master ratings).  Necron-99 would
be first, then if I got a second TC (fat chance) I would throw all the ohter
names into a hat and pick one out.

>Yeah, but to a waste?

Sure.  I had a mediocre waste, and I was trying to decide if I should keep
him or not.  So I gave him his last chance in a tourney.  I sent him in
9-5-7-Bash and there were a few lungers who wondering how I ever got the
jump on them.  I can only assume that they dropped their AL because they
thought the fight might last a minute or three.

You just never know how your opponents are running their warriors.

>Hey, I ain't never mentioned nothin' about no DA :)

Just wanted to head any desperate thoughts off at the pass! :) yourself.
