SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of NIATOLI ISLAND! Know me for who I am, Zontani
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at
SACKETT'S & CO.'s guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable
into 7th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week TURKEY DAY CARNAGE went 1-0-0 to move up 3 in the
rankings. EGGPLANT caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested RINTIRISSE and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, MALODOROUSREEK put down PEA POD, causing him to lose 12
points of recognition in the process. Although VENOMOUS CONCUBINE made a valiant
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious LIONESS. Heed this! A
seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall
perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in NIATOLI ISLAND these days is PHILANTHROPISTS. At least, most blades
in town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of VEGGIES are catching
the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that
many fighters are after IRINKESTA. Watch your back! At the gambling halls I have
started to bet money on PHILABUSTER. He has got the courage it takes. Witness his
challenge this turn against IRINKESTA! I must admit to some joy. Before my very
eyes the underdog in this contest, PHILABUSTER, defeated IRINKESTA to claim victory
and recognition.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a
rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani

PERSONAL ADS
Noachian -- I relieve my bladder on your "one true god" which is more tribute than he
warrants. Ghea is much too diverse in cultures and life paths to be served by only
one god, and each individual has within himself the wisdom, given to him by the
creator, to know his own truth. -- Bobby Bigfoot, unrepentant heathen and born again
pagan
Barnabas -- I have been running my stable here for about two years. When I arrived,
I chose this arena because of how thriving it once was, and because I thought that it
had some life left in it. At that time, Hammer was sponsoring a contest to generate
more interest in competing here. After that he sent out all arena ads promoting the
upcoming 500th cycle here, asking who had been here in the past to return for the
event and for any who hadn't been here to come try it out. Hammer's voice has been
the last (so far) and the loudest to speak on behalf of saving Niatoli Island. If
any have need to cast blame, they should look elsewhere. As for myself, I place no
blame; I see Niatoli Island's waning as a natural cycle, and would suggest that
managers look elsewhere for a more thriving arena. -- Bobby Bigfoot, mgr.
Chaoticdisorder
Malordeousreek -- Gotcha! -- Izmar Odemis
Screwface -- What dark arts were used to create you? Nice career you are building on
our backs. Izmar is up next. -- Nibera Deshret
Arena Felines -- For a second there, Himalayan Hellion looks just like Screwface! I
guess "oops!" just won't do. Bloodfeud if you must. -- Jakub Alizarin
Hopalong -- I didn't think you could do it, hopping around like that. But darn, you
did it. Ouch. -- Thimbell
Philabuster -- I could have WISHED that you would shut up occasionally. On and on
and on and on.... -- Rintirisse
Ah, the Dangerous Criminal. (sigh) Never a really good random encounter. He is too
aptly named. -- Irinkesta
Good Posture -- Lying on the ground isn't it. -- Korienellis
Nibera Deshret -- You don't know about the Red Book!!! That's amazing. -- Irinkesta
Barnabas -- Good idea. The dust was making me sneeze. -- Jorja

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to announce with glad hearts that Heathen
Hatebred is no longer just a friend, but also an alliance-mate. Heathen brings a lot
with him to our alliance. His experience, talent, and loyalty will be a great
benefit to us all. Welcome Heathen; may all our enemies' blood continue to flow
freely! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
22 February 2006
The Olympics have arrived!
The Mordanti Olympics, having been gone for six years, have returned to the Mordanti
Alliance, sponsored by Amicitia Primoris. Teams have competed against each other for
recognition and notoriety four times in the past. It is far past time for the fifth
Mordanti Olympics to be held. The Mordanti Olympics shall be held in the Mordant
arena (DM-1) from May 1st (T544) through Oct 30 (T557). There will be a
'registration period' lasting until T543, where teams will be allowed to register by
activating in Mordant and declaring their participation in the personals. Rules will
be posted in the Mordant arena (DM-1) newsletter no later than T543, but shall be
available online before then. An announcement will be made as to where they will be
posted. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
