An LMB classic returns!

Never heard of it? Er, you must have been drunk these last 10 years! Otherwise you'd recall that Ping Pong is a beloved Legion World sport with unruly hooligan fans!

Do you dare enter?

Ah, I remember when I, Cobalt Kid, won the first two LMB ping pong tournaments in 3004 and 3005. I was going for the threepeat when Eryk shook my hand and wished me good luck...and then I subsequently was crushed by a collapsing roof, pinned under a ton of debris, and Shark Lad easily took the championship.

Sentients, when you sign up, just kiss your entry fees good-bye and exit gracefully.

I promise to be a gracious winner and put the prize money on the bar at SHAKES for all to enjoy.

Trash talking has begun!

I plan to use my super speed, lightning fast reflexes, hundreds of years of combat training ... and ambidexterity ... to DOMINATE THE EARLY ROUNDS ...

shouting "WELCOME TO THUNDERDOME!!!!!" over the din of wailing opponents.

... until I get drunk ... at which point I will just hang out with Hrun and Nam'Lor telling stories and watching the balls go back and forth.

I love the Annual LMB Ping Pong Tourny!

Following my loss to Space Ranger in the 3007 semi-finals, I was so angry that I encouraged a full scale ping pong hooligan riot during the championship match between Ranger and Fat Cramer.

Ever since, "Riot Day" has become an official Legion World holiday where ping pong fans pack the bars and sing drunken chants with each other. Last year there was only 97 fights!

By the way, I just beat "Lurker Joe" in the first round easily. Hope all of you sleeping off your hangovers bring your A-game today.

< begins gruesome ping pong match that lasts for hours at end; first starting in the morning, then continuing through the night >

< restless, the Legionnopolis mob citizenry begins to riot >

At this rate, we may as well make it strip ping pong!
