SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ALJAFIR! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!
Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! MIDDLE WAY is now
ranked 3rd with a 3-2-0 turn. What's with TITAN? He actually beat MIDDLE WAY's VINN
WULF, and walked away with 22 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at BALANCE
OF TERROR while they watched FORCAS clobber THORIK. He lost 14 points and got
bruised from objects thrown from the stands. See how the Duelmaster challenged
HEROESANDFOUNDONES' MAXIMUS? That sort of initiative is how she got where she is
now. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for HEROESANDFOUNDONES' outstanding member,
Duelmaster MAXIMUS. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I
hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. ALJAFIR thinks STEEL WOLVES
and their 102-132-6 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... In my
day, no team with a 100-129-6 would scare me off! What's the problem, BALANCE OF
TERROR? What do people see in VALDRIC? His 9-12-1? STEEL WOLVES ain't talkin', but
he's got 43 points. SKULLBREAKER of STEEL WOLVES knows how to pick 'em. He
challenged BLUE ORC of HEROESANDFOUNDONES who is up by 22. Now was this a wise move?
SKULLBREAKER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was subdued by BLUE ORC and
ended up with 8 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to
go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Maximus -- Congrats on ummm wait I challenged you? Well congrats on beating me...and
on your impending graduation. -- Phleum Pratense (Timothy)
Titan -- There was something very wrong about me beating you. Not that I mind. --
Hog Fish (who is somehow on the wrong team...namewise)
Ed. -- Cherry Pitter umm well if you bury cherry pits in the ground, they GROW into
trees don't they? -- Cherry Pitter (catching up on a few old ads)
*blink* I think you have me confused with someone else. -- Ed.
Ed err or whomever sneezed. -- I am far superior to garlic. I am as good as
Vidalia--or better. -- Oaniun Sett
Greetings Aljafir -- I am the Wolf King, manager of Steel Wolves. Been back for a
few turns after a very long hiatus. Very good competition here in my original arena.
Good luck to all out on the sands.
Furcas -- I told Gracus he wasn't ready to challenge you. His loss was unfortunate.
Maybe now the rest of my stable will listen to my advice. -- Wolf King
Quivra Ngedo -- Interesting choice. -- Thorik
Maximus -- You are a tough fighter. Vaxfon will bear many scars from his bouts with
you. -- Wolf King
Blue Orc -- Wow. Thanks. -- Karthus
The Fratsfa Slave? He's worthless and weak, and he does not belong here. -- Wendol
Varn
Cherry Pitter -- They should at least make you stop tossing those pits around the
arena! The damned things kept rolling under my feet and making me stagger at the
worst possible moment. -- Vinn Wulf
And here I thought it was the cherry brandy. -- Ed.
Etien Haxan -- Whew! I was relieved (not glad, exactly, but definitely relieved)
when the Infirmarian told me I'd been hit in the stomach. I thought it was bad fish
with my lunch. Food poisoning would have been so ignominious. -- Erbin Frorlin
Tan Orc -- When the steward told you to "toe the line," he didn't mean you should
KICK me! Cheese, talk about literal-minded! -- Straight Line
Blue Orc -- You know, I've never seen a blue-eyed orc before. It's disconcerting.
Must be the half-elven part of you? -- Quord Rassel
We see that congratulations are in order to Quivra Ngedo and Maximus, and we offer
those congratulations with honest good will. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
P.S. And maybe just a little relief.
Wendol Varn -- You hate me because I'm more handsome than you are, because I'm fair
as the daylight while you are a swarthy, cruel-faced Karnhorn, don't you? But what
it really means is that you hate yourself for not being bright and good like me!
You-- (muffled thumps and choking sounds)
Ignore that worthless Fratsfa Slave. He grows over-bold. Steps will be taken.
-- Zagrehj, assistant to Arenamaster Kharhgal

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.
