Sineritri didst pen, on the last day of 1996:

	<SIGH> Didja _have_ to go and say something like that? We tend to specialize in
Battletech and AD&D wars, but none have contracted our services IRL yet. ^_^

	That would be telling. ^_^

	Factoid #1: the _battles_ are only between Ranmaverse characters and those 
characters currently on an X-Team. Factoid #2: If Marvel and DC had used common sense

like that instead of using reader's votes, Wolverine would've never beaten Lobo. I
mean,
I like Wolvie and all, but pitting him against a _true_ immortal (Heaven wouldn't
take
him, and Hades was afraid he'd take over) doesn't give him much of a chance. Then
again,
all he had to do was immobilize him, so I guess a quick claw to the crotch would've

worked...

Jade: Was that _really_ necessary, Kunou?!
Kunou: No, but I bet it got the readers' attention... ^_^

	Hey, that gives me an idea...mayhap I shouldst...darn it. <Bangs head against 
desk repeatedly> Stupid "archaic mode". It won't turn on when I want it to, and it
won't
turn off when I'm done with it...anyway, maybe I should let the ML vote on who gets
to
face-off against who, and who will win in the matches? (Granted, that would make the
win
column very bleak for the X-Teams, but still...) Let me know what you think. I'm going
to
bed now. I just beat my sister twice (in a row) in the ST:TNG CCG, and I'm tired.
Pretty
soon, I get to play Ani-Mayhem against Jade... ^_^
