A day after our sad loss, we have a new member in our fabulous Clan. I am glad to present the second female Marx Brothers: shaolinda.
Some of the more attentive readers of this blog may have noticed that Shaolinda was head of the Crew Resistance Movement against “Captain Hook” Powdersnow (read powersoccerextra any day now to get a full interview with “Peter Pan” Sipwell) and that she is a Sergeant-Major in the Slippermen. She updated us with daily briefings on the situation inside the castle (secret messages, all over the internet) and on the mood of Powdersnow, who requested to change his username to “Thunderstrike” but got a refusal of the board of PS.
Shaolinda is an absolute top person. Agreed: she may have a dismal record in winning games (none so far) and may have not been the most active Powersoccer user so far, but she is an absolute top addition to this clan in both personality and talent. If you would look up the “expression” shaolinda in a dictionary, you will find the following description: “cunning, witty, multitasking Devil-does-all with a sharp and brilliant pen, a great vision and above all a devotion to Powerchallenge that can only be matched with the devotion of Sipwell's grandfather to his multi-prize winning pumpkin.”
My grandfather is so devoted to his pumpkins that he has been sleeping outside with his pumpkins for all of his life (my grandmother even had to come and go to him rather than the other way around to write the application form for a baby) and that he feeds them manually (with a special developed spoon) a unique recipe that has been in the family for ages.
Shaolinda is my grandfather in an (attractive) young, dynamic female Powerchallenge style. If you find anyone more devoted to these sites than herself, she publicly stated (in a private conversation) she would instantly commit seppuku.
Thus, how can we refuse a person who publicly stated that “I really love writing!” and who, by reading her continuous stream of marvellous posts on the development blog, can actually write a fabulous text, with content? How can we refuse somebody who defines the expression ‘helping the community’ on daily (yet paid) basis? How can we refuse somebody who cries out – without shame or fear – that she absolutely stinks at this game? That is impossible! Therefore, welcome in the only clan that Matters, the clan that is and will forever stay to backbone of our beloved game of Powersoccer. Welcome to the clan. I hope you'll have a great time here.
As we most of the time have a welcome video, I found footage made by a Swedish journalist where you can see Shaolinda in full action in the Rebellion against Surreal. Enjoy!

This is a tremendous boon to the Marx Bros! It is wonderful to have you on board, your blogs and updates have always been a nice inside look at what really goes on in the "dungeon".
Great new addition. Welcome shaolinda to our happy gang. I have added your flag to the top of the blog.
Wow... Who better to add to the clan than someone who writes daily? Linda I think you will find yourself at home here at the Marx Brothers, so welcome in!
Welcome into the gang sholinda. Great to have such a competant blog writer, on board.
Yes, many welcomes to you. Enjoy your stay, and keep an eye on the evil leader of that satanic cult Surreal for us.

What an outstanding addition to the team. Glad to have you onboard shaolinda!
Oh dear - just realised I haven't said thank you all for that warm welcome! Sorry. Making up for it now - thank you so much! Feels like I've found my second (or first?) family and I'm really looking forward to meeting all those Power Soccer obsticles with you guys... I'm in the best of clans, no doubt.
