M. Chardinee? I look upon him with scorn, I laugh! I would have buried him in the sand and danced on it, if the arenamaster had not intervened. What a fool he is! Both of them, in fact. Fools, fools, fools, and tedious, besides. Tiralea Flete SPY REPORT Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport. I doubt ZORPUNT will ever be the same. And let's see, TERI LARK fought CAPTURED ORC and gained 10 points and contributed to KRILL CAVALRY's 3-2-0. TRAVIS T FLETE has lost to FRATSFA SLAVE, falling 13 points, while helping make KRILL CAVALRY a 3-2-0 turn. And all eyes were on A. MONK, P.I. this turn as it ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. ZORPUNT has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Dripping Blade? The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. LOOK OUT!! has cause to stand tall, as they were ZORPUNT's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding LOOK OUT!! more than any other team we find 071406C. ZORPUNT, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Is it really true that ZORPUNT 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. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ZORPUNT and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME A.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Hmm, I don't think I'd go so far as to call the Kung-Fu Master a fool, as Tiralea has done with the Chardinee, but he's definitely a bit "past it." Not a profitable encounter for me. Nor for him, of course. -- Mikela Poole Who gave the Fratsfa Slave leave to go on for so long? Naturally, I was ell able to handle him, but I had other things to do with my time. Six minutes, and he only taught me a single skill! Outrageous. The fool slave should be sharply punished for wasting my time that way. -- Travis T Flete Actually, the Userous Merchant's a nice guy, so long as there's no money involved. He is capable of carrying on an intelligent, even witty, conversation, and that is a field in which most gladiators fail dismally. -- Teri Lark Oh, gods, somebody put him up to it, didn't they? Probably my teammates. They couldn't stand the thought of ME winning a fight, or maybe they didn't want to go five-and-oh and owe it to ME, so they paid the Ambitious Guard to try a little harder. But I'll get 'em for that. -- Loren Poole Somehow, four and one when all fights were against standbys lacks...substance. -- Leeta Ed. -- Well, aren't kleptomaniacs incorrigible? -- Loren Poole I suppose, unless you can get them to go to a good psychiatrist. -- Ed. 20 October 2006 In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders". The group consists of the following members: Doc LeGrande Apex Street Legal Carnage Ghoti Roadkill Valamond This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched. Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land. We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land. Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are. 20 October 2006 The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light: Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52, REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire 2 November 2006 I received a Gift Certificate from someone. I'm assuming it's for entry into the Turf War 5. Whoever sent this to me...please email me at rbaphomets@yahoo.com. Thanks. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS TIRALEA FLETE was devastated by A.
