                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of TOBIR!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always 
around the corner!  Witness how this week PLAYPEN went 3-1-1 to move up 3 in the 
rankings.  SPONGEBOB caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it 
skillfully bested CHICHI-HOOEY and was awarded 18 points in recognition.  This time 
victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail TANTRUM, Duelmaster of TOBIR!  
Would you believe that over half of the old women in TOBIR seem to feel that they 
could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In TOBIR "art" is a word that has long 
since passed from the language!  TOBIR, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names 
of thy guilds is THE DOGHOUSE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly 
duels.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the 
better part of last week avoiding THE DOGHOUSE.  Indeed it was PLAYPEN.  Mighty 
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  ANDILLIA take warning!  You 
have more than a few enemies in TOBIR.  I can not but mention with disdain the name 
of SHLEPROCK who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 15 points below in 
the rankings.  I thought SHLEPROCK showed great skill and promise when he was 
overcame by ENCLOPLASMIC.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers 
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     The girls are as pretty in TOBIR as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far 
off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks 
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

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,

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.
