The boys at BASH BROS PETS left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by CHILDREN OF LLYR. Good show! Practice pays for INCOMING!, who pummelled EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, to pocket 20 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 3 points to OH OHLISH OMINAH. (Discrete enough, Q*BERT?) A certain someone saw NOREASTER at The Dragon's Hangover with the shakes, and now he fails to show up to defend his throne. What a pathetic slob! What can be a greater victory? DIG DUG has taken his place as the top, as MURSKA's new Duelmaster. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. And how sociable are MURSKA's warriors? Come, let us see. Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of THE BEARS, alone and unchallenged. The warriors of THE BEARS found their efforts at combat frustrated as BUSY, BUSYTOWN apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, KAI could open up a fast food joint! Take heed MURSKA, of the unprincipled action of FATHER CAT. By challenging CADAL COONTZ, 17 points below him, FATHER CAT besmirches the noble art of dueling. Warriors of MURSKA! Do you wish your reputations tainted by the base challenge of FATHER CAT? Mismatched by 12 points, BELGO was bested by POOPED IN YARD. Is this really worth noting? I thought POOPED IN YARD showed great skill and promise when he overcame BELGO. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid MURSKA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DIG DUG 3926 22 9 1 113 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -NOREASTER 3896 15 1 1 152 DIRT DEVILS (363) OH OHLISH OMINAH 3912 13 9 2 105 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) FATHER CAT 3875 17 4 2 104 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) DINGO DOG 3878 18 5 3 101 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) -TAKE COVER 3870 14 4 3 95 THE BEARS (253) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KAI 3873 19 28 0 88 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) Q*BERT 3928 19 11 4 87 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CADAL COONTZ 3901 15 24 0 78 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) FARON 3954 8 2 0 74 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) -GARTH THE SEAMITE 3748 15 10 1 69 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) BALIN 3955 9 1 0 68 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SAGE 3495 6 1 0 61 VITAL BRAWL (332) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JUNGLE KING 3930 13 17 0 56 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) MR.

Really, seriously, go chase Dingo Dog for a while! -- Cadal Coontz Dingo Dog -- Yeah, same old same old. Go chase Father Cat up a tree? -- Kai Q*bert -- You're too tall to be that nasty. Tall people are supposed to be friendly and laid-back, because their height is imposing and they don't need to go around intimidating people. -- Balin Mr. Fixit -- It wasn't broken, so I guess you were left wondering, "What the heck?". -- Faron P.S. Thanks for all those skills. Pooped in Yard -- And didn't clean up.

Onward to glory!!! -- Dark knight Blackstorm 1 July 2006 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.
