SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of JHELUM! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Hmmmph! I always thought LEGION OF
VIRTUE was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0! Up 'n down. Up 'n
down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well,
LOTHLORIEN's 4th moved them up to 3-2-0 place. What's with DECAPITATOR? He actually
beat DOGS OF WAR's HOWARD, and walked away with 23 more points from the fight. Major
screwup at DOGS OF WAR. HOWARD lost 22 points to DECAPITATOR. Some new strategies,
perhaps? Maybe HOWARD will provide more easy wins... See how the Duelmaster Dark
Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's SPYMASTER? That sort of initiative is how she got
where she is now. Try as he might, SPYMASTER wasn't good enough at persuading
SERILIA to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1
will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Hmm... More surprises must remain in store for me,
if SERILIA can return from the Dark Arena. Is it my imagination, or are fighters
getting younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. Are you
as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

P.S. Not me disgraced, you. I don't know what you DID, but all the old biddies
think you're the worst.
P.P.S. Which doesn't explain why they all want to invite you to dinner.
I hate these Dangerous Criminals. Why are they allowed to run around loose? --
Challon
Dangerous Criminal -- Challon is a nice guy. I'm not. -- Epimonidas
This Ambitious Guard is pathetic. -- Hannibal

so...why not? -- Jimmy Custer
Caddyshack -- You lost my balls ON PURPOSE! And people call ME a thief! --
Wrongfully Convicted in Jhelum

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.
