SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of WILLAF. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Those betting on ARENA
FELINES lost their shirt, as ARENA FELINES lost their fighting abilities: 0-1-0.
Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but COLOR ME will tell you
118-108-3 is nothing to laugh at... THE WICKED had cause to celebrate, after SPAMMER
got 19 points by beating CHAUNCY. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, KNOWLEDGE
was winsome, after beating BRAEL-LWE and seeing him lose 11 points. You could cut
the tension with a scimitar as GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY of GOLDEN GLADIATORS met the
Duelmaster. Now I can't insult GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY, as he has gloriously dueled to
the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it
one team in WILLAF is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in PUNNY
AMINALS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a pup
with its tail between its legs, THE WICKED scurried away from PUNNY AMINALS. Oh, the
shame! If challenges were horses, BA'AL OF CITADEL could open up a fast food joint!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the
arena. A certain tavern in WILLAF would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. WILLAF, I leave you now. The
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Warty Toad. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny
Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Pandora's Cards -- It appears you got to draw Mr. "I love to be punished" in the
likes Malcorn Insurgent twice last turn. That is very lucky for you. I am sure he
was really tired in his second fight. -- Ghoti
Midas -- I could have sworn I heard something crunch under my boots, did you hear
anything? It had a squishy sound too. Sort of a panicky yet whiney "Life isn't fair
and I have to justify my existence" kind of quality to it. NAH! just some noise in
the dirt I guess. -- Ghoti
I am the epitome of how not to be designed as an Aimed Blow. SO I get to retire on
the isle I think. -- Annie Pinkley
I was a project! I was 9-10-8-13-11-12-21 normal/good -- Master att, ad ex rip.
Scimitar, learn attack and favor the bash tactic. Finished 18-14-2. +2 att and (-2)
rip...that I know of. I was sent to the DA and survived both times--the only reason
I was given an opportunity to graduate and retire. -- Annie Pinkley
Var -- Welcome to Willaf. May your stay be enjoyable and fulfilling. Great start,
by the way. You do Pandora proud. -- Midas of Golden Gladiators
Persiflage -- Well done in your bloodfeud defense. You fought like a champ and I
salute you. -- Golden Opportunity.
P.S. Noachin, nice numbers on Persi. Would have loved him on our team.
Husam al Dim -- It was all my pleasure. Someday the bear gets you, and someday the
bear gets you. -- Golden Bear
Sordan Blackblade -- Was that fun or what? I truly enjoyed the tussle. -- Golden
Dome
Kitten Kaboodle -- A salute to you, Duelmaster. Well done. -- Midas of Golden
Gladiators
Miss Yamabushi -- Thank you for the very thoughtful words last turn. We shall always
remember your kindness. And we will pray for you as this record...YAMABUSHI(432)153-
161-14-48.7 YAMABUSHI(432)1-2-0 must hurt. Must hurt badly. -- Midas and The Golden
Gladiators
Yamaphile -- It is such a pleasure to find someone senior to me in this game. I was
starting to feel old. Thank you. -- Midas
Ghoti -- Well, now, I guess you are in the frying pan also. (chuckle) I am sure you
will work it out with your friend Yamamama. Nice meeting you at The Face, by the
way. The Creepster, et all, send their regards. -- Midas
Noachin -- Cute post, pal. (about returning to peaceful ways) And just when we were
all having fun......................... -- Midas
Golden Dome -- Probably a good challenge for you, and by challenge I mean an attempt
to avoid a challenging matchup. -- Sordan
Ruddy -- Sorry to cut our meeting short. I didn't bring a lunch either. -- Ba'al
Oooo, lunch! That sounds good! -- Ed.
Ketl Physhe -- You are good to me. We'll have to do it again. Maybe I'll be good to
you next time. -- Kore Surya
Kitten Kaboodle -- No cats allowed in the arena! I'm allergic to cats. -- Sully
Golden Bear -- I do better with my weapon. I'm starting a new losing streak. --
Husan Al Din
Golden Opportunity -- Just the way I like it. A long fight for my last fight.
Thanks. -- Persiflage
Yamabushi -- You sure can fill up the personal ads. Too bad it's all hot air. Well,
we're back and looking to add to our kill total. So get all your fighters up and
running, we need targets. -- Noachian, Servant of Kjarran, mgr. Shroud In Mystery
Var -- Welcome to the City of Battle! May Kjarran guide your blades. And I'll be
back in Jurine very soon. -- Noachian
Purz! -- Wow, a marmalade Persian, I'm so excited to have been ripped to shreds by
such a lovely cat. Rot in a dogpound, cat. -- O Puncha
Annie Pinkley -- If those are your favorites, you need to work with them. Or get new
ones. -- Punh Jently
Kore Surya -- Damn. Accuracy strikes again. There is no mystery shrouding my loss.
-- Ketl Physhe
Bluu Gnite -- I don't want to color you at all. -- Chauncy
P.S. Well, black and blue, if I could manage it....
Var -- Hello again. We seem to share many arenas. If one can share "many" out of
the relatively few that are left. This one's ready for you. Have fun. -- Jorja,
Punny Animals
All -- Hello, I am new here and to be honest, quite afraid of what I may find. Would
you all mind if I quietly take my place among you and duel? I promise not to speak
too loudly and will practically go unnoticed! I swear! O, bugger! I hate new
places.... -- C3PO, mgr. Abbreviations
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.
