Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SHOCKING win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SHOCKING beat MARI COY and MARI COY lost 15 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as THE SHOCKER stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, MARI COY was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Shocking -- Oh, it's you. We never go out and meet other people any more. -- Spike McGold The Shocker -- Excellent. I couldn't think of anything to say, and now it is YOUR problem. -- Golden Shark The Insurance Salesman? Piffle. -- Mellisande And a Dwarf, who may or may not be from Khalhums. -- Mari Coy And last but not least, a Dangerous Criminal, buried in the sand. -- Maretha 11 April 2006 To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship, the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or something...hmmmm, there's a thought. 3 May 2006 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!
