So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for BLACKED OUT ON..., whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 8th. STEEL THUNDER stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! The CULTS-R-US guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, COMRADE KOOK fought AUTUMN LEAVES and gained 21 points and contributed to CULTS-R-US' 4-1-0. HUME has lost to BROTHER ZERO, falling 12 points, while helping make DREAMERS a 2-3-0 turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, ASTRO ASSASSIN has lost the title of Duelmaster. And all eyes were on FUZZY BUTT this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. RIZTAB has a new victor! Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Warty Toad uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher friend of mine assures me this is true. MARVEL HEROES has cause to stand tall, as they were RIZTAB's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided MARVEL HEROES stable the most? Believe it or not, it was CULTS-R-US. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that IRONSTORM from STEEL THUNDER was RIZTAB's most challenged warrior this turn. A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. Is it really true that RIZTAB has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask... Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Always good to rest in RIZTAB, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns.

You'd think your first name was Jack. -- Krankykarl Tala Gog -- What's that??? Something about me being hung? Okay...so, I distorted and distended our rumpus one minute "affair" into not a few retellings. Uhmmmmmm... wasn't me, though. Never said naught about yer having a backup morningstar. That... just got started...somehow. -- Hang-Ten Harry Kragor the Mad -- Hmmmm... which'd I rather be? You're not a bad looking fellow, for a major loon. And I'm my "uniquely" handsome self, but am afflicted by rampant sanity. Verily, 'tis a poser. -- Ugly Eddie Spymaster Torric -- Well fought, friend (as friendly as headlights to a deer). Your extermination skills are masterly (you've mastered genocidal massacring of the weak and unwanted, congratulations). Wish we could have met under better circumstances (or not, since from what I hear to you, better circumstances would include young boys and toilet training). Farewell dear city of Riztab!

ONE skill? -- Sugar Jane Hang-Ten Harry -- May you strangle, or at least get all dried to a wisp, hanging around all the time like that. Cheese. -- Tala Gog Comrade Kook -- Jane was right about your hair. Dye it, okay? You'll be much more cultic looking with dark hair. -- Alourshin P.S. Or bleach it, because even white is more cultic than red. Really. Sorak -- Nearly, and high time. -- Autumn Leaves And for Jondeaux -- Both are rippers, of course, you knew that, right? Both highly attractive--unmodified attractiveness score of sixteen! AL is 9-14-15-15-11-7-13 LO md/hi and T is 17-11-10-11-17-5-13 LO md/md. Both headed for retirement; I have too many warriors on the Isle already. -- Jorja Scorpion -- My dear insect--how right you are. -- Fly Wheel P.S. Quite amazing, wouldn't you say, how heavy armor and a few points in con can compensate for a complete lack of skill. Hurricane -- Huh huh. Me hit you. Huh huh. You fall down.

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.
