Alliance Olympics Update, Round 2
The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics had a rough turn. Several of the teams took
a dive with their records, and there were three no-shows this past round. On the
upside, Var and his Dragonlance stable showed up, and posted the largest percentage
increase: up 40%. Amicitia Primoris ground out this turn's largest drop: down
6.83%.
Sea Dogs went 5-0-1-0 this round, securing a solo claim to the Best Overall
Stable with a 9-1-1-0 record! Is there anybody that can unseat One Armed Bandit's
pirates? An Honorable Mention goes out to Hucklecat and Live From Moscow! for their
4-1-0-0 record this cycle. Condolences go out to Mannequin and Sweordmasters for
going 1-4-0-0. Watch your challenges, and don't forget to use your avoids to your
advantage!
I received word prior to T545 (round 2) running that Otis the Drunk has joined
the Iron Council. At the request of the Iron Council, Otis will remain listed as an
Independent for the Olympics, as he signed on after the start. It certainly makes
the Commission's life easier to leave it as such, so it shall remain.
Now for the standings. If the Olympics were to end today, the awards would look
like:
Gold: LBA...........90.00%..... 9- 1-1-0 (10/ 56)
Silver: Iron Council..75.00%.....15- 5-0-0 (20/112)
Bronze: Mannequin.....53.57%.....15-13-3-3 (28/168)
Desolate Empire.......50.00%..... 5- 5-0-1 (10/168)
Otis The Drunk........45.00%..... 9-11-0-1 (20/112)
Amicitia Primoris.....40.54%.....15-22-1-2 (37/224)
Var...................40.00%..... 2- 3-0-0 ( 5/ 56)
SwineTiger............30.00%..... 3- 7-1-1 (10/ 56)
Best Overall Stable: Sea Dogs (9-1-1-0)
The Commission has an Excel spreadsheet available to the Olympians that will
break down the standings further. Just send an email to: amicitia@gwi.net to
receive your copy.

"The Struggle" by Johans Johans, D.E.
Dark Knight Osiris paced the length of his war room, fuming. His chosen agents
sat at the table, planning how best to emerge victorious in the Olympics. They also
listened to Osiris vent his anger at the death of Rache.
"I can't believe that JGW isn't letting Lost Soul fight!" snarled Osiris.
"Decado! The Desolate Empire by-law concerning killing and bloodfeuds!"
Decado answered without hesitation, "Lord! Bloodfeuds are never to be avoided.
If you are prepared to kill, then prepare for the consequences as well."
"Indeed. Thus did Rache meet his end bravely with honor," replied Osiris. "But
not all follow tenets such as we. An opportunity for revenge shall arise in the
future. The Empire remembers! On to other matters! 9-8-1?! Unacceptable! I will
not tolerate mediocrity from my agents. I am under constant scrutiny from the other
Dark Knights. I know Dark Knight Toker would like nothing more than to force me out
of this body. Yes, he would like the return of the so-called Archmage Wasby the
Great."
Moments after saying the name Wasby the Great, Osiris' eyes went unfocused. He
blinked, looked around, and spoke to the agents in the war room.
"All of you, recognize me! I am Wasby! I shall return and vengeance against
Osiris will be mine. I warn you all, do not be on the wrong side. Now listen to the
instructions I...agghh...the instructions I give you. He is strong! Quickly, tell
General Toker...."
Wasby imparted the knowledge to his messengers before succumbing to the power of
Osiris.
The Agents of Osiris were unsure of what to do. They argued long into the night
trying to decide the best course of action. Finally, they reached agreement with a
plan. Their minds made up, they resolved themselves to do whatever was necessary to
achieve victory.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Lord Xiang, life is indeed good here at the top. I expect to stay here far
longer than the previous DM's from Mannequin's stables. I was basically recruited
for my ability in the arena. I have only made two appearances in the tourneys
(without much success, 3-3 & 3-3). I've got the looks, skills and political points
to move on. I just need to get my 20 arena fights in and I'll be on my way. I fully
expect one of my stablemates to take the throne once I am gone.
Until Chaos rules and the Isle sinks, farewell!
Tercero Encanto
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in MORDANT since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Biff! Pow! MORDANT
watched with glee as LIVE FROM MOSCOW! got knocked off top spot by SEA DOGS! Hmmmph!
I always thought DEATH'S DOOR was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 2-3-0!
Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out
the pain! DRAGONLANCE is now ranked 12th with a 3-2-0 turn. It seems so recently
people were saying DESOLATE TEMPLE was washed up, finished. But 4-1-2 moved them up
6. I guess they're washed no more... Well, CAN I SAY THAT?, 2-3-0 isn't a complete
rout. But the Duelmaster has nothing to fear from you guys! What's with HUNGRY
DUCK? He actually beat STEEL LEGION's COBALT, and walked away with 23 more points
from the fight. Major screwup at STEEL LEGION. COBALT lost 18 points to HUNGRY
DUCK. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe COBALT will provide more easy wins...
DEATH'S DOOR's hatred of LAB EXPERIMENTS surfaced again as OLD HAG challenged
MORDANT's top dog. OLD HAG was reminded on the sands why TERCERO ENCANTO is
Duelmaster. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some
team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was SWEORDMASTERS. The bums at SHE'S CRAFTY couldn't face the
challenges from SWEORDMASTERS! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of
being the most challenged warrior, VERMILION! Don't make idle boasts, they may come
back to haunt you. MAKESHIFT ANCHOR didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he
received from LARRY KING of DEATH'S DOOR, who is 22 points below him. LARRY KING
perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was bested by MAKESHIFT ANCHOR and ended
up with 9 recognition points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind
of fights that PHIL HELLMUTH gets in. He fights people like MINTAKA, 14 points
below. I thought PHIL HELLMUTH showed great skill and promise when he dealt death to
MINTAKA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? OLD HAG, with hers forgettable 11-8-0, was killed by TERCERO
ENCANTO in a forgettable match. DEATH'S DOOR didn't seem to mind very much. OLD HAG
found herself really over-matched when she faced TERCERO ENCANTO. OLD HAG found
herself grossly dead at the end of the match. Here's some advice: study your
opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Glutius Maximus -- Sit on it after that challenge. -- Last Rebel
Fevered -- Want round two? -- Purple Haze
Larry King -- And who said you couldn't learn anything from an old man? -- Vermilion
Crow's Nest Guy -- Are you that desperate for a win? Next time I'll petition the GC
to give you the notch. You'd have looked stupid if you had lost that fight.
Especially given the obvious. -- Drivel
Full Metal Minx -- Bad challenge on my part, although my strategy was somehow changed
from what I originally intended. May have been the difference. I may come and try
again after learning a bit more about attack. -- Johnny Moss
Caramon -- Whoa big fella, glad you didn't hit me -- Johnny Chan
Dixie Chick -- That was a decent fight; you surprised me with the damage you did
there -- Phil Hellmuth
Trigger Pixie -- Thanks for the skills! Those are much needed. -- Stu Unger
Whiggamore -- Don't you hate learning those skills? -- Doyle Brunson
Better Off Dead -- Welcome to Mordant! Hope your stay is a pleasant one. -- Lord
Xiang, mgr. Wind Storm
Dragonlance -- An Olympic Welcome! Best wishes in the Olympics!! -- Lord Xiang, mgr.
Wind Storm
All -- I shall be challenging one specific Olympic warrior (Squirrel Nut) with a non-
Olympic team (Lethal Heritage). I do this for Bloodfeud reasons only. Not that I
expect to win, as I don't have anything near ready enough, but vengeance for Brujah
must be sought. -- Lord Xiang, mgr. Lethal Heritage
OAB -- Nice opening rounds! -- Lord Xiang
Ed. -- I've been contaminated by my association with that specific arena, and its
occupants. It's not good. Not good at all! -- Lordeth Xiangeth
P.S. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
So THAT's where the "eth" went! -- Ed.
Tercero Encanto -- Another turn as Duelmaster, eh? Congratulations. What do you
think of your chances of getting your invite on T549? Pretty darned good. At least
that's the way it looks from here. If you don't die first, that is. -- Lord Xiang
OLYMPIANS -- The 2006 Alliance Olympics are set to break NUMEROUS Olympic records!
The records in jeopardy are Most Alliance Victories, Most Alliance Kills, Most Team
Victories, Most Team Kills, Most Top Team, and if One Armed Bandit keeps on truckin'
the way he has been, Highest Team Percentage, and Highest Alliance Percentage! That
is SEVEN of NINE records!! Who knows, perhaps somebody will break Best Team Turn
(currently 5-0-2) and Best Alliance Turn (currently 6-0-0). If you want to see the
Olympic Hall of Records, just log into the D2 forums, and they are located under the
Mordant Olympics forum. -- Lord Xiang
Goldmoon -- You're going to have to work on that endurance if you hope to survive in
this arena. -- Spere
Taras Bulba -- Oh, that was a cheap shot! Expect an appropriate challenge in
return.... -- Scild
Cobalt -- I can easily see why you are off to such a good start in your career. Well
done. -- Woebegone
Kandris -- Ack! I liked the results better the first time we met. -- Dael
Old Hag -- What? Did somebody say, "Begin"...? -- Mischievous Imp
Swine Tiger -- You are picking a fight you can't win. -- Cheese Whiz
Belesarius -- Hah! I bet you thought my weapon would break again, didn't you? I'll
have you know I fired my blacksmith after our last fight and hired a new one. What
do you think of his craftsmanship? Sweeeeeettt!!! -- Jimmy Wong
Kill Me Please -- I tried to accommodate you. Perhaps some other time. Nice skill
learns all around. -- Speedwell
Old Fart -- Were you testing your new found favorites? -- Tercero Encanto
Doyle Brunson -- Thanks for the skills. I think.... -- Whiggamore
Gangrel -- How embarrassing! -- Frozen Rope
Brujah -- Farewell! -- Squirrel Nut
Tarmon Gai'don -- Does that mean I shouldn't be expecting a challenge anytime in the
near future? -- Squirrel Nut
Olympians -- I have received a late entry from Lakerfan, running Men of Honor, to be
active this turn. Best Wishes to Men of Honor!! -- Lord Xiang
T.S. Talon Volksie -- It's not that my avoids are not working, it's that who I've
challenged either is engaged in another fight or didn't show up! -- Kazach,
Barrenblade
Last Rebel -- Though you are safe for the moment being out of my range, I too look
forward to seeing you across the sand from me. Even if you have the style advantage!
-- Enuram, Barrenbalde
Lord Xiang -- Missed last turn due to the fact that the turn showed up late and I got
lost in dates! I shouldn't miss again as I have taken your advice and asked to be
placed on maintenance! Osiris should also be here; now as long as Ancient Creep
makes it we'll be all right! -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Temple (586)
One Armed Bandit -- I'm enjoying all three arenas! Thanks for the info via emails.
It was helpful. -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire
P.S. Nice couple of turns!
All -- I sent a few warriors on reconnaissance missions this turn. Hopefully they
will have success even though they're fighting with blindfolds! (grin) -- Dark Knight
Toker
D.K. Osiris -- Can't you share that body with my brother Wasby? I'm really starting
to miss him! And once I get emotional, who knows what I'll do! -- Dark Knight Toker

All -- I've seen what's on the forum. So I'm prey, am I, Max. You and all your
devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay. I don't have to
explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on. Feel free to come over
to 31 for a thrashing. Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance. They tend to
share my sentiments about the VC. If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at
liberty to talk for them. The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm
6 May 2006
The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start! With seventeen teams
declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non-
Olympic teams present), it is looking to be as tough as any previous Olympiad, if not
more! Olympians petitioned the Commission to make an allowance for late entries, and
the Commission agreed, and will allow new entrants to partake, as long as they are
active by Round 3 (T546, due May 29th). So if you wish to enter, please email your
intentions to amicitia@gwi.net with team name, manager name, and affiliation
(alliance name or independent), or show up in Mordant (DM-1) on, or before, May 29th
and place your declarations in the newsletter!

26 May 2006
The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
