SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly NIATOLI ISLAND games. There were bitter words at
THERAPY SESSIONS' guildhouse after a 0-4-0 showing this week which dropped the stable
into 10th. Dark Arena anyone? SKULLCRUSHER caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested KILL ZONE and was awarded 19 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SKULLCRUSHER put down KILL
ZONE, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait
upon the will of others, Duelmaster SCREWFACE challenged PEA POD last week in a match
to decide the fate of the throne. The city has turned out in honor of PEA POD, for
with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!
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 THE SEWING CIRCLE. At least, most
blades in town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of SACKETT'S &
CO. are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large
share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.
THIMBELL take warning! You have more than a few enemies in NIATOLI ISLAND.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Cruelly, THE CRIPPLER of RAVAGING LORDS has slain
the lesser ranked ANOREXIA. Word already flies around town that THERAPY SESSIONS
plans a bloodfeud! 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? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
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 Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Lady Wu -- Do you realize you've been around here for over 120 turns?!?!? Graduate
already!!! -- Manager, popping in
Pea Pod -- I was going to say I'd fought you before, but then I realized that it is
your nature to be just like somebody else. Oh, well. -- Irinkesta
Hopalong -- This happens to people who smoke, drink, and swear, dude. Let it be a
lesson to you. Clean living is All. -- Thimbell
Hopalong -- Don't listen to him, he gets mokus all the time. -- Irinkesta
Acid Bath -- Well...that's one way to prevent "ring around the tub," I suppose.
Can't say that I care for it personally, though. -- Rintirisse
Anorexia -- Therapy? Hmm. I never knew anybody who took anorexia therapy for
obesity. Sounds...drastic. -- Korienellen
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.
