The Convicted Assassin would have been unacceptable in this position, and nobody ELSE seemed to want it. So.... Faron P.S. It's a dead town, and no two ways about it. This despite the Commission, AGAIN, screwing up our team ranking. We've been here and active every time for YEARS. SPY REPORT It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! THE BEARS? Who? CHILDREN OF LLYR is the top team these days, buddies! CHILDREN OF LLYR had cause to celebrate, after CADAL COONTZ got 31 points by beating DINGO DOG. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 24 points to CADAL COONTZ. (Discrete enough, DINGO DOG?) DIG DUG found out that MURSKA isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in MURSKA avoid CHILDREN OF LLYR. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, THE BEARS scurried away from CHILDREN OF LLYR. Oh, the shame! Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee. Do not think spyreporting in MURSKA is the highlight of my life. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for MURSKA?

Kung-Fu Master. (sigh) I hate getting matched with him. I keep MEANING to study Kung-Fu, but there's just never enough time. -- Cadal Coontz P.S. I was okay till he broke my arm and I dropped my weapon. I am totally NOT a man of my fists. Well, ahem, I, ah, guess that sometimes the Ambitious Guard might have the right idea. -- Balin P.S. I mean, he came out of the gate like a house on fire, which is a strange image, and never gave me a chance to get set. Guess he's been letting someone advise him. But you'd think, if he was going to fight so well, he could TEACH me something, dammit. I was ready. An Embezzling Scribe? Pathetic. -- Bildis P.S. But I wouldn't mind fighting more such pathetic standbys for most of my career. 26 August 2006 The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared? Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm 4 September 2006 Civil War/The Crusades The next edition of the Civil War series is to be held in Tobir, arena 14, beginning November 25th with a round where all participating managers must DA all 5 of their warriors; in addition all warriors must be prefixed with an A an F or a D in the following manner: A-Broke Stroker or (A) Broke Stroker. Names simply beginning with the letter of your federation will NOT count as properly prefixed! Existing teams are welcome but no warrior who survives the DA who had prior Fight Experience (arena or tourney) will be allowed to score or challenge into the contest teams. There will be an equal number of teams set up for each of the three factions (Andorian, Free Blades, and Delarquan) to create sides as equal as possible. This along with the DA round should set up pretty equal footing for all managers. After the DA there will be another round where you can either DA again or fight your new, or surviving, warriors so they will be set up to challenge an opponent beginning on round 1. So as a recap DA round, turn 0, then turn 1 it begins with the following rules: The Civil War to be held in arena 14. - The contest runs for 10-28 turns (barring ties). - No tourney participation allowed. Teams with warriors participating in any tournament are disqualified. - An even number of teams per faction worked out by the Faction Leaders. No later substitutions are allowed. - If a manager brings in a second team and challenges into the contest he is DQ'd and his side will fight one team short! - Three factions will be participating: Andorian, Delarquan, Free Blades - Everyone prefixes their warrior with A-, F-, or D- (No prefix = disqualification of the warrior) - Turn DA: (The DA Round) November 25, 2006. Every warrior must DA. (Warriors not DA'd on Turn 0 are disqualified) - Turn 0: December 9th, 2006. There will be no scoring this turn it is meant to allow for challenges on turn 1. - Turn 1+: Scoring as detailed below - Each team gets 1 point for defeating a warrior from an opposing team. - Fights against warriors on your team do not generate points in any situation. - The team with the most points each turn gets a Battle Point (if there is a tie for the most points then no Battle Points are accrued) - The first team to 10 Battle Points wins the war - Managers of teams on the winning side each receive a +1 bonus potion to be used on a warrior on their contest team. This must be applied within a month of the conclusion of the contest and the team must have been active on the last turn of the contest. Anyone wishing to participate, and feels they can probably stick around for the duration (don't want to handicap a side, of course unforeseeable events cannot be planned for), should either diplo me at THE DEATH SQUAD(63) in Tobir (arena 14) or place a personal ad in the arena. You may also contact me via the Duel2.com boards! Let me know which faction you would like to fight for! This contest is intended to be open to ALL managers wishing to pit themselves against each other to try and determine which faction has the best managers! -- Street Legal 14 September 2006 I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a novice and clueless manager. Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless manager. I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows, they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out. The Couatl 2-17 Madam Butterfly 20-701 Gypsy Moth 20-703 King Crab 21-1 Priestess Python 26-1388 Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.
