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.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS The Shocker -- I am, of course, shocked and devastated to meet with you in combat. Gosh, what a surprise. -- Spike McGold 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 by action of the all-human judgess of Niania 20 June 2006 Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire Our newest Dark Knight disrespected?!?!?! ARE THEY SERIOUS?!?! If at all possible, let's get over to 31. I'm on the way. Let's get 'em. -- Dark Knight Osiris 26 June 2006 To those interested, G.E.C.K.O., Inc, is looking for able-bodied warriors to embark on a dangerous mission.

Will-O-Wisps 1 July 2006 BROTHER KNIGHTS OF THE DESOLATE EMPIRE -- Hail brothers where ever you are to be found! We are engaging in arena 31. Let them feel our wrath. Onward to glory!!! -- Dark knight Blackstorm 1 July 2006 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.

SPIKE MCGOLD was vanquished by SHOCKING in a 1 minute mismatched brawl. MELLISANDE savagely defeated KUNG-FU MASTER in a 6 minute one-sided fight.
