                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon MURSKA, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  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

Father Cat -- How familiar is your hairy face, your twitching whiskers, your raucous
voice.  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.

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.
