Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as SWEORDMASTERS can attest... Practice pays for GLUTIUS MAXIMUS, who pummelled CHEESE WHIZ, to pocket 21 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 13 points to GLUTIUS MAXIMUS. (Discrete enough, CHEESE WHIZ?) COMICUS found out that MORDANT isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in MORDANT avoid SWEORDMASTERS. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, SHE'S CRAFTY scurried away from SWEORDMASTERS. Oh, the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and PROPAGANDA is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't LIVE FROM MOSCOW! proud! The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Citizens of MORDANT, be sure to settle your debts with BATTLE ANGEL of SHE'S CRAFTY. She's relocating to the Dark Arena and has other things on hers mind! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in MORDANT would I avoid! All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. MORDANT, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Conan's Place.

The group consists of the following members: Doc LeGrande Apex Street Legal Carnage Ghoti Roadkill Valamond This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched. Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land. We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land. Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are. 20 October 2006 The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light: Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52, REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire 2 November 2006 I received a Gift Certificate from someone. I'm assuming it's for entry into the Turf War 5. Whoever sent this to me...please email me at rbaphomets@yahoo.com. Thanks. 10 November 2006 The Quest of the Best has come to an end. Dark Knight Toker, host of the Quest, wants to proclaim the Ultimate Victor and give a listing of prize winners. Lady Fern and her Flower Girls of the Consortium are the Ultimate Victors of the Quest. Well fought and there's nothing like coming from behind to leave us all in the dust. Can't wait to see you defend your title! (wink) Here is a complete list of managers who placed in prize positions: 1) Lady Fern, mgr. Flower Girls 2) Le Pentarque, mgr. Blood & Guts! 3) Crip, mgr. Otto's Parts 4) D.K. Heathen Hatebred, mgr. Odin's Chosen 5) Ghab, mgr. Assassin Nation 6) Fanthayne, mgr. Dark Raiders 7) D.K. Toker, mgr. Silver Knights 8) D.K. Wasby, mgr. Bronze Knights 9) The Expatriate, mgr. Bleak Legion 10) Still the Distilled, mgr. Springborne Fair Thanks to all that had the gall to show up, but I really want to thank the managers that had the mettle to survive and not run when they started getting their butt handed to them.
