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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TANTRUM 4285 12 12 2 103 PLAYPEN (435) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BINKIE 4298 16 7 2 98 PLAYPEN (435) TIPPI TURTLE 4351 13 4 0 94 THE DEATH SQUAD (63) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CYTOPLASMIC 4309 16 21 1 87 BIO WARFARE (439) WHITE FANG 4353 12 12 0 85 THE DOGHOUSE (188) ANDILLIA 4255 17 26 0 77 THE DOGHOUSE (188) MICHAEL PALIN 2750 8 2 0 77 MONTY PYTHON (312) GOLGI APPARATUS 4342 7 5 1 70 BIO WARFARE (439) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ENCLOPLASMIC 4307 5 3 0 62 BIO WARFARE (439) SPONGEBOB 4367 5 7 0 62 THE DEATH SQUAD (63) CHICHI-HOOEY 4270 12 24 0 60 THE DOGHOUSE (188) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PAMPER PACKER 4284 11 13 0 52 PLAYPEN (435) BURNT OUT HIPPIE 4402 6 1 0 50 THE DEATH SQUAD (63) SHLEPROCK 4376 5 4 0 48 THE DEATH SQUAD (63) CRACK BABY 4279 8 12 0 44 THE DEATH SQUAD (63) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME E COLI 4343 4 5 0 33 BIO WARFARE (439) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -FELICITY 3981 2 0 1 22 WON'T SEE TV (404) -THE VIEW 3983 1 1 1 21 WON'T SEE TV (404) GERBENT 4401 3 6 0 15 THE DOGHOUSE (188) -7TH HEAVEN 3982 1 0 0 15 WON'T SEE TV (404) YARD APE 4408 1 0 1 9 PLAYPEN (435) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

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.
