                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Practice pays for SHOCKING, who pummelled SPIKE MCGOLD, to pocket 17 
points.  SPIKE MCGOLD certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to 
SHOCKING and losing 13 points in the process!  MARETHA found out that NIANIA 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. 
     And how sociable are NIANIA's warriors?  Come, let us see.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have 
fallen into an unconscious stupor.   
     Do not think spyreporting in NIANIA is the highlight of my life.  My fingers 
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable 
character.  NIANIA, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at 
Jim's Tap Room.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Only six active warriors in Niania is the shocking thing. -- Nick

Convicted Assassin -- I just hope that during those "few days" you were required to
spend in the Infirmary, they kept you chained to the bedstead! -- Maretha
P.S.  You swamp things are totally untrustworthy anyway.

Shocking -- Yeahyeahyeah, graduate, why don't you? -- Mellisande

I hold the Khalhums Dwarf to be DIRECTLY responsible for the death of one of my
teammates, and I would have killed the hairy little runt if the arenamaster hadn't
stepped in. -- Mari Coy
P.S.  Luring her off to the mountains with tales of a "better life."  Ha!

Mari Coy -- Well, now, you're a pretty thing, and small for a human.  (hurrum)  Would
you like to see my etchings? -- Gobiann Strongaxe, Dwarf of Khalhums, and proud of it

Maretha -- I will get you yet, drysskin. -- Ssothiss, unfairly Convicted Asssasssin

Soultaker -- Read your e-mail! -- Guardian

10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces.  All present knew that there
could be no quarter.  The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed.  There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary.  Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
     AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
     The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights:  Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great

14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:

The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10,  11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106.  Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak.  You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
