The Kill Contest
Upstairs at the Lucas Lounge, city of Jhans, Delarquan Federation:
"Not to question your judgment, Bookie, but is this really wise? I know you
want the Jhans Kill Contest to go well, but having an opening ceremony where you burn
the Andorian flag? And you've invited the entire arena and given them access to an
open bar! That's too many tempers and too many swords! Something bad is going to
happen! I can feel it!"
While his student/assistant continued to pace back and forth voicing her
concerns, Bookie sat quietly in the corner of the room smoking from his pipe and
sipping on his ale. The manager was worried as well, but for different reasons.
Bookie set his pipe down and began to gulp his ale ravenously. He wiped his
chin with his sleeve and then grabbed his assistant Raven by the arm. He pulled her
near and whispered, "I want you to slip downstairs and very very quietly get Polarius
and Azrael to come here." There was an urgency in his voice, something she wasn't
accustomed to hearing. She quickly nodded and headed toward the door.
"Wait!" Bookie yelled out. Raven halted in mid-step and turned back. "See if
you can get Uncle Charlie of the Frotheringslosh Syndicate to come as well."
At first Raven seemed puzzled. Then her face lit up as a revelation came to
her. "Oh! You mean 'Cosmo'."
Bookie shuddered. "Don't get me started on his name! But yes, that's who I
want you to get." With that she was on her way and Bookie was left alone with his
pipe, ale, and his worries.
In a few minutes he could hear voices coming down the hall toward him. They
were loud and they were laughing. Bookie thought to himself that perhaps letting his
KLK alliance mates have early access to the ale was a mistake. They'd been drinking
since this morning while they were "helping" get the Lucas Lounge ready for the
night's festivities. "Getting the party crunk early," is how Hossfather had put it.
They came through the door just as Azrael finished saying to Polarius "...I just
don't see how you let your wife fight in leather armor. It's all I'm saying."
Whatever they were talking about it must have been funny as both of them (along
with Uncle Charlie who was bringing up the rear) began to laugh. Bookie waited for
the laughter to die down before even attempting to speak. Eventually a silence fell
over the room and everyone (including Raven who had rejoined them) turned their
attention to Bookie.
"What's up, boss?" Azrael said.
"Yeah, what's poppin', pops?" Uncle Charlie added with a drunken grin on his
face. Despite their festive moods Bookie's demeanor stayed quite somber.
"Raven, close and lock the door." Raven did as she was asked, not because it
was her job or that she was a slave but because of the unique bond she had with
Bookie. While he was away from managing in the games, Bookie studied the magic arts
under Raven's father. Her father taught Bookie both the white and black arts.
Bookie had a particular interest in necromancy and her father was one of the few
wizards willing to teach the craft. Before Bookie's training could be completed
Raven's father took ill quite mysteriously. He never recovered and on his deathbed
the wizard asked Bookie to swear to take care of Raven and teach her as he had taught
Bookie himself. Bookie gave his word and had been Raven's guardian ever since. The
taking care part wasn't a problem. Teaching, on the other hand, was a little more
difficult.
The door was closed and locked and when Raven returned to his side Bookie began
to speak. "I asked the three of you up here to address certain situations you may
not be aware of."
A feeling of confusion fell across everyone in the room. Not wanting to miss
any of the party downstairs Azrael interjected during Bookie's pause, "Cut to the
chase. What's going on?"
"After Gryzash's death, the Princess sent out a call for bodyguards. Azrael,
Polarius, and myself all volunteered warriors to act as Morra's guards."
Polarius scoffed, "Tell me something I don't know...."
Azrael added, "No doubt. Let's hurry this up! I don't wanna miss the werecat
girl do her floor show. She takes a little white aball and shoots it out her--"
Bookie stopped Azrael right there. Dealing with his friends drunk was going to
be more difficult than he thought. "If you miss it, Az, I'll book her for your
birthday party. Fair enough?"
Azrael smiled from ear to ear. "Works for me. I'm all ears."
Finally, they were actually listening. "As I was saying: we all volunteered the
Princess bodyguards. The Princess was very appreciative of our loyalty. So much so
that she asked us to do her another service."
"Such as?" Polarius asked.
"Such as this Kill contest." There was a shocked silence.
Then Uncle Charlie said, "I thought the contest was your alliance's idea."
"Officially the KLK is the sponsor of the contest. Unofficially, Morra asks
that we do it. She thought it would give the people of Jhans a distraction and help
keep their morale up."
"Well, why did she ask you and not one of us? We all volunteered warriors."
"Perhaps because I have a history with the Royal Family of Jhans. Perhaps she
felt she could trust me."
"So burning the Andorian Flag was the Queen's idea? That doesn't sound like
her," Polarius said.
"It wasn't her. That was MY idea. I thought the symbolism of it might stir a
little patriotism in the other Delarquan managers. On the sands we're enemies, but
we're all still Delarquan. We're loyal to the Dark Federation, and I'm afraid that
loyalty is going to be tested."
There was a pause, then Azrael quipped, "Sounds like you're worrying a little
bit much about Jhans politics to me, boss."
They all laughed except for Bookie and Raven, who could tell how deeply
something had been bothering the manager.
"I'm not just worried about Jhans. I'm worried about the entire Federation.
Politically, things are very unstable right now. If an outside force were to
attack--"
"Who?" Polarius interjected. "The Andorians? They wouldn't have the balls, and
even if they did, by the time they got done bitching about our tactics, we'd have
their capitol burned to the ground."
"It's not the Andorians."
"The Free Blades, then?"
"Not them, either. To tell the truth, I'm not sure who or WHAT it is. It's
just this feeling. I've been having it for a while, and I thought it was nothing,
but while I was traveling near Zorpunt it got stronger. It was like something
telling me to run away as fast as I could. I've never felt anything like it before.
It was...unnatural."
Talking about it brought the feeling back. Bookie couldn't help but look out
the window toward Zorpunt. It took all the self-control the manager had not to bolt
downstairs, get his horse, and ride away as quickly as he could push his steed.
Bookie's silence had produced an awkward moment. No one knew what to say until
Uncle Charlie spoke up. "So what do you want us to do?"
The question snapped Bookie out of his mini-trance and slowly the urge to run
began to fade. "All of us need to be ready for anything. Use every resource we have
to gather intelligence. I'm sure between Azrael and the Thieves' Guild and Polarius'
spies which I know he'll deny having--"
Polarius smiled.
"--we should be able to find out what's going on before it happens. We can use
the Kill contest as a way of scouting allies. We may need all the help we can get,
but trust no one! There's no telling who is plotting to take the throne right now!"
Polarius said, "So you want to use the Kill contest to 'keep our friends close
and our enemies closer'?"
Bookie smiled and said, "Exactly!"
Then very slowly Uncle Charlie raised his hand to ask a question while trying to
keep his balance. "I know we're old friends, Bookie, but I'm not in your alliance.
Why'd I get asked up here?"
"Well, you've been managing in the games during my absence. You still have
connections that I've lost."
"And--?"
"And...and I want you to contact Scra--" Bookie corrected himself, "I want you
to contact Alfredo. Tell him I'd like to talk to him. I believe he's someone I can
trust."
Uncle Charlie nodded and saluted Bookie using two fingers. "Aye-aye, Cap'n."
Azrael interjected, "Yeah, boss. Anything goes down, I've got your back."
That only left Polarius to pledge his support. Polarius wasn't one to act
impulsively over a "feeling," but if there WAS something going on, Polarius wanted to
be there to take advantage of it. After analyzing the situation in his mind,
Polarius finally said, "I'm in."
Bookie was quite relieved. "Good. There's no need to keep you any longer. Get
back downstairs to the party and enjoy yourselves! I'll be there shortly."
"You better hurry. Hoss is working on his second keg. Might not be any left by
the time you get there, boss."
Bookie chuckled. The other three managers made their way back to the party, but
not before Charlie turned and winked at Raven, saying, "I'll see you later, lil
mamma." Raven blushed and giggled as Azrael and Polarius dragged Charlie away by the
arms.
Before they got out of earshot, Bookie yelled to Charlie, "Don't be drinking
with Tiki Bob! You know how you get when you two mix!"
Raven shut the door after the three men left and smiled at Bookie. "My, my, my,
you have interesting friends."
"Yeah, you should see them drunk."
"You mean they're NOT?"
"Nope, that's just early stages of boozing. By midnight, they'll be
intolerable." Bookie laughed.
Raven rolled her eyes. She'd heard about duel managers being eccentric, but
this was her first time to be around to see it for herself. The moment was light
hearted, but she couldn't help but think about what Bookie said. She said, "Do you
really think trouble is coming?"
Bookie thought about it for a moment, then said, "Yes, I do."
"Well, is there anything I can do?"
Bookie nodded. "Bring me my robe. It's time to commence with my duties as host
of this party."
Downstairs the ceremonies had yet to begin but the party was already in full
swing. Most of the guilds in Jhans had come early to assure more than their fair
share of the free ale. The barkeep had been told not to serve until later in the
evening, but when faced with thirsty, sword-wielding warriors, what can you do?
The crowd was a bit rowdy, but that was to be expected. They were Delarquans,
after all! At least there had been no fights...yet.
The party was so engaging that no one noticed Bookie standing on the balcony
looking over the crowd. He saw P-Diddi and Brawha tossing money to the dancers and
couldn't help but laugh. There were new faces and old faces alike in the crowd.
Even Papa Bear was in attendance, which came as quite a shock.
Raven stood at Bookie's side. She leaned over and whispered to him, "Are you
ready?"
Bookie sighed. "I think so."
She took his hand reassuringly and said, "I know you'll do fine."
With that, Bookie smiled and held his chalice up high and yelled to be heard.
"Managers! Warriors! Friends and foes alike! Welcome to the city of Jhans and the
KLK's first annual St. Valentines Day Massacre Kill Contest!"
The greeting was met with enthusiastic applause. And the beating of chalices
upon table tops. While the crowd roared, Bookie made his way to the main table and
Raven took the seat beside him.
Bookie continued, "I know you're all anxious to get back to your ale, so I'll
make this quick. We gather here today not as enemies but as Delarquans! We
celebrate our common love of the Delarquan way of life and the Delarquan way of
dueling in the arena!"
Cheers erupted.
"Grudges aside, tonight we are brothers! And as a Delarquan brother, I ask all
of you to drink with me as we toast to the beginning of this contest!"
At that time a very inebriated Hossfather emerged from a back room carrying an
Andorian banner. Many in attendance rose to their feet in anticipation as Hoss
neared the Lucas Lounge fireplace. Some were eager to see the banner burn. Others
just wanted to see if they'd go through with it.
"Tonight we toast to the managers of this fine city and to their warriors who so
bravely risk their lives on the sands! We toast to the memory of Gryzash to whom
these games are dedicated and we toast to the Dark Federation itself! May she never
fall! Let...the games...BEGIN!"
With that, Hoss tossed the Andorian banner into the flames and those in
attendance drank and roared their approval. The fire soon consumed the Andorian
banner. Would it consume them all?
To be continued....

The first annual kLk Kill Contest has begun. I have heard that many managers
look down upon those who kill with regularity. These managers are fools. This game
is about combat and combat is about killing. I guess that it is only fitting that
the Duelmaster, TARGEN, drew first blood. He is claiming that he killed BROKEN
MIRROR. Secret sources tell me that BROKEN MIRROR was spotted leaving DRIPS sleazy
hotel room the night before the fight. One never knows what one may contract from
DRIPS! Of course BROKEN MIRROR's manager isn't too upset. BROKEN RUMOR was always
rumored to be a little unlucky. Not to be outdone, MAC ended the life of one of
Jhan's biggest bull's eyes, STARK. To STARK's manager this may be a little
troubling. To those warriors who were within challenge range of STARK this is very
troubling! We all need a new target dummy now. Hmmm...this could pit TARGEN against
MAC next turn. I guess it depends on IRON TIGERS; they may not want TARGEN to be
embarrassed his last turn in the arena!
In closing, as the sun rules the day and the moon governs the night, so should
the kLk, with equal regularity continue to dominate Jhans!

SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Thinking about sending their team manager to the Dark Arena is THE
MATRIX, after suffering a 11 drop in ranking. What's a move up by 6 you ask?
(alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to SECTION HATE.
Good things come to those who fight well, as BABES can attest, moving up by 4.
Practice pays for KATHLEEN, who pummelled PINK BEAR, to pocket 21 points. CONFESSION
certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to UNION JACK and losing
12 points in the process! Well, Duelmaster TARGEN Bloodfeuded BLITZKRIEG's MAC. Is
a 20-13-4 good enough? MAC found out that JHANS 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...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of ANARKYSTS, alone and unchallenged. As a woman
of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of BLIND HYPOCRISY, so did that sorry team shy
from ANARKYSTS Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and DEFIANCE is it right now.
Most challenged warrior. Isn't SECTION HATE proud! As a confidence booster, RAVAGE
challenged WASTEM WUORNOS, down 32 points. Do you also slay vicious rodents in your
spare time, RAVAGE? RAVAGE bested WASTEM WUORNOS. The whole thing leaves a bitter
memory. Word has it CHIEF BLING-BLING$ suffered a romantic setback. Note how he
challenged BRICKHOUSE, 30 points his senior. Soopreyes, soopreyes! CHIEF
BLING-BLING$ emerges from the fray 2 points the richer. Good show, CHIEF
BLING-BLING$! SLAYIN STAYNER found himself challenged by a warrior 23 below: CAIN.
CAIN of THE DREAMING kept his wits as he was bested by SLAYIN STAYNER. Mismatched by
13 points, FRANCOIS bested SHAWNDA. Is this really worth noting? I thought SHAWNDA
showed great skill and promise when she lost to FRANCOIS. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
SUPERIOR MANAGER in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for HATRED of SECTION HATE. Maybe
that certain serving girl(?) at Lucas Lounge will be! Justice was served as TARGEN
fought MAC in bloodfeud. Well done, IRON TIGERS! Questions are being raised about
the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in JHANS would I
avoid!
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure
of writing Spyreports for JHANS? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
These should have gone in last turn but went astray in the mailroom, our apologies:
All -- If everything goes well (fingers crossed) there should be a story featuring
the kill contest in the newsletter that I'm writing. Anyone wanting in can diplo me
or say something to me in the personals. I don't care if we're enemies in here I'll
still use you (and promise not to make you look too bad--just kidding). (grin) If
the storyline gets approved, it will deal with our city's dealing with the world
events going on. We can't let Jhans be left out! After all, I'm not one to let
Mordant, Rodeki, or any other city take away our city's standing in Alastari. (grin)
Okay, so maybe I like role-playing too much but sue me...it's how I am. If you want
in...just holla at me. -- Bookie
Devastator -- Fo' shizzle, that hurt. -- Huggy Bear
Dripo -- As much as this pains me...when I see a good warrior I pay my respects.
You've impressed me. I've read all three of your fights (yes, we all live close) and
so far I'm impressed. Don't take this as a sign of weakness or an indication that
I'm not still trying to put you in a box but simply take it as it's meant: a sign of
respect. Swords high and may your death be a painful one. -- Bookie, Suicidal Dreams
Section Hate -- Welcome to Jhans! May the sands you fight upon always be bloody! --
Bookie
P.S. That would be YOUR blood. (grin)
Shadow Soldiers -- Ditto. -- Bookie
Shadow Soldiers -- Nice team name. But how did I get soldiers? -- (puzzled) Shadow
Starr
Ultraist -- Thanks for the input. I know how crappy roll-ups go but I'd still like
you to stick around. And don't take the ragging on your name last turn personally.
I figured if you didn't like or appreciate the joke you'd get mad and stick around
trying to feud. It was a win/win. (grin) Seriously, stick around! The arena could
use you. -- Bookie
Agent Smith -- (singing) Challenged by you...what could I do?...Bibidi Bobidi Boo...
Smacked you around and you fell down...Bibidi Bobidi...Flipidy Floppidy...Hey hey
there buddy screw you. (curtsey and exit stage left) -- Bibidy Bobidy Boo
Ripples Dorrigan -- I'm sad to inform you that the KLK has denied your petition and
the Dark Arena team will NOT be eligible to win the kill contest. We didn't think
it'd be fair. -- Bookie
P.S. Be very thankful the "R" in your name was mistaken for an "N." The name would
have surely led you down another career path, probably one involving Ron Jeremy at
that. (grin)
Fighting Commission -- Speaking of the Dark Arena...when did "Superior Manager" start
fighting? I don't remember him/her. Since we have a DA warrior named that how about
renaming it after the top career team manager's name? Every six months or so you
could change it based on rankings. Who do you bribe to get things done? -- Bookie,
just trying to spice the arena up
P.S. Would you guys just consider it?
"Superior Manager" was the name given as prize in the first kill contest here, I
think. I seem to recall that Manager, the manager of Superior Forces, won that.
-- Ripples Dorrigan
STD's -- After reading your personals this turn I have to say that I like you! I
enjoy playing in an arena with someone who will talk smack. -- Polarius
STD's -- Well...if you don't want to fight under the banner of either of those loser
alliances...well...you could always fight under our banner, the kLk. Or you could
just be independent. -- Polarius
Mazrim -- Wow, what a fight. To be honest I challenged you as well. Maybe I should
use a dagger more often against plate armor! Anyway, good fight. -- Kerry Bear
Stark -- Sometimes I play a little too rough. Hope you weren't a bonused god
warrior. I will await your manager's bloodfeud. -- MAC
Donna -- Thanks for always being a willing target. -- Union Jack
Shocking Toad -- When it comes to politics Bookie is a little confused. He would
rather give our tax dollars to the people who have children for a living. The same
people who live in trailers that don't have locking doors. The same people who trade
their kids food for crack! That is about right, right Mike? -- Polarius
P.S. As a GREAT man once said, "a government program is about the closest thing to
eternal life that we'll ever find...."
Targen -- You have one turn left. I hope your manager sends you to avenge your
teammate's death. To be the best you have to beat the best, and I would certainly
like a shot at you! -- MAC
Arachne -- Be a chum and fetch me some Tylenol, would you? My head is killing me! --
Francois
Badda Bang -- Me win! Me likes winning. Next time let me bash too. Me like bashin!
-- Mogash
All -- I could smell the sweet aroma coming from this arena from Solven. You can't
have a killing spree and not invite me. I have come to join in the carnage and lay
waste. Behold, Abysmal Behaviors beckons. Let the bodies hit the floor...let the
bodies hit the floor.... (sadistic laugh) -- Silver Stroke mgr., Abysmal Behaviors
All -- Lol. It figures I get saddled with blood crazed manger. Switch to decaf,
hehehe. -- Polite Beggar
P.s. Got some change please, sir? (hand held out)
Polite Beggar -- Trouble seems to follow you. -- Promiscuous Queen
Pro Queen -- Yeah, it seems to know where I am 95 percent of the time. :) -- Polite
Beggar
Maybe you should try being rude? -- Ed.
Woelfe -- You still running a dog and pony show here? You got to watch that guy, he
is all smoke and mirrors, Lol. Now if we could just get him to take a bath
muhamuha.... -- Silver Stroke
Polite Beggar -- I look like the Meals on Wheels foundation? Get out there and fight
if you want some money. This isn't a non-profit organization. (smacks him upside
the head) Now put that hand on your sword and go kill somebody! -- Silver Stroke
All -- Hmmm...guess I will have to fight. I thought everybody was good enough for
some change? Guess not. -- Polite Beggar (rubbing head)
S.T.D.s -- I found that store with the latex armor but someone poked holes in all of
it with an epee. I wonder who? -- Azrael
Mac -- Hey thanx for taking care of Stark for me. -- Ravage
Matrix -- Must not be worried about your prophecies, huh? No bloodfeud for Neo's
death. Coward. -- Azrael
KLK -- Sorry bout my 2-3-0 last turn. It was a maintenance run.
Hatred -- Ow, that was rough, must have been "that" hand. -- Ravage
Outloud -- I'm a good girl; good girls shouldn't get scummy. Scummies not for good
girls...la la la, da, ta.... -- Badda Bang
Outloud -- Bang, chill out he said he was a basher. I didn't know he scummed like a
T.P. Thanx Mogash, she's crazy now. -- Jealousy Rains
Oblivious -- Good stand Bro, KLK KLK Boom. -- Devastator
(singing) Hey ho! The Stark is dead! Which ole Stark? THE SLASHER STARK! Hey ho!
The Iron Tiger's DEAD! Come on you sleepy head! Rub your eyes! Get out of bed!
Smoke a blunt! THE SLASHER STARK IS DEEEEEAAAAADDDD!!! -- Suicidal Dreams Guild
Kill 'Em Krepp -- Big one aren't ya? -- Bookie
Matrix -- No bloodfeud over Neo? Just figured with a Matrix theme Neo would've been
your best warrior. Tsk tsk. Guess he wasn't that important to the storyline after
all. So much for that "chosen one" crap. Trinity mustn't of loved you that much
dead-boy. And you've stopped running all but ONE warrior. Anybody wanna bet Mr.
Anderson stops at 4 FE? Looks like you're cutting losses and breaking camp. Hey, we
advertised the kill contest. Can't say we didn't warn ya. If the arena's too much
for ya, just say so. Run Rabbit Run. -- Bookie
P.S. So much for a trilogy, huh?
Maybe after seeing that second one, it was time to cut their losses? -- Ed.
Section Hate -- Philthy Phil, right? Kinda funny. I know a Phillip and he's pretty
filthy. Ask Polarius and Uncle Charlie. -- Bookie
Uncle Charlie -- Chug! Chug! Chug! -- Bookie
Is it just me or is Drips vs. Trojan Man just too funny to not happen? It's
inevitable. Let's see how much protection Trojans really give. (evil grin) -- Bookie
P.S. Kill 'em Drips!!! Kill that Froth'n lunger DEAD!!! Bwahahaha.
Hmm, either I went way over the line and got edited or they lost a page of my
personals last turn. (shrug) Oh well. -- Bookie
*wild laughter* Yes, I'm editing EVERYONE! *ahem* Oh, never mind, it's here
this turn. -- Ed.
Agent Smith (this shoulda run last turn but this is for Polarius) -- Challenged by
you, what could I do? Bibidy-Bobidy-Boo. Smacked you around and you fell down.
Bibidy-Bobidy-Boo, Flippidy-Floppidy, Hey there buddy screw you! (curtsey and exit
stage left) -- Bibidy-Bobidy-Boo
Drips -- It itches. You sick bastard. It itches. -- Shadow
Up-In-Ya -- Know what? I like your mouth. (evil grin) You're a welcome addition to
Jhans! But I got a question. Your rantings sound familiar. What's your other
managerial names? (grin) Anyway, thank for the competition and the attitude. --
Bookie
P.S. DA those scum and get ya a team! It's much more fun with full squads (more
people to kill).
Woelfe -- Welcome to Jhans! I think you'll find the competition fierce and the ads
hopping! Don't consider yourself fodder. Everyone's still basically down in the
Inits. It's wide-open. Good luck and brace for impact. This arena's 'bout to get
nasty. -- Bookie
P.S. On second thought, the arena already IS nasty.
Iver -- Welcome the Froth back man! (grin) If I can get Ultraist and Uncle Charlie
to stay we can have a DOOMcorps reunion movie. (I'm pretty sure we could hire Adam
Sandler to play Doc LeMa$e). Hope things are good with you and see you on the sands!
-- Bookie
P.S. You're here for the kill contest, right?
Shocking Toad -- Which team am I in here? Hmmm. Let me think. Could it to be
Suicidal Dreams? THE EXACT SAME TEAM NAME I HAVE IN OSKSI!! Wow. What a Froth'n
coincidence. Am I confused? Yea. Confused on how you couldn't figure that out!
You're a republican AND an idiot. Who would've figured the two are the same. (evil
grin--JLK, Polarius) one thing I'm not confused about though is why you took so long
to open your mouth. If I'd been over 50% BEFORE someone showed up and then eleven
fights under only seven turns AFTER they showed up I woulda kept my mouth shut too.
But thanks for identifying yourself and drawing a bullseye on all your warriors for
me. Prepare to get KLK boomed! -- Bookie, who is 4-1 vs. you in Jhans
P.S. (ding) (ding) Let the fight begin!
Ultraist -- (smile) Glad to see you took my ad as it was meant. I really wish you'd
stick around. DOOMcorp reunion. Look at how the arena is. It'll be fun! -- Bookie
Drips -- Either you're a very very blessed striker, a prize altered guy, or a tourney
baby. You're a little too cocky 'bout tellin' your style. Somethin's fishy. Oh
wait! That's your mom! (grin) Since you're SO anxious for a loss how 'bout I spice
it up for ya. -- Bookie
All -- Since Drips wants a loss I'll do one better. Anyone who kills Drips I'll pay
for your turn. (evil grin) We're bringin' back the bounty, baby! -- Bookie
Arachne's back. Set Lungers to kill. The Aimbee has to die. (evil grin) -- Bookie
Drips -- Ya know, if you weren't spreading it to girls AND guys it wouldn't be so
disturbing. -- Badda Bamm, having bad nightmares 'bout being a choir boy
P.S. Is it supposed to burn when I pee now?
Tiki Bob -- To quote Frosty who paraphrased Kimbali and to keep this running joke
going: G'damn night club. -- Shadow
P.S. Maybe that blow to the groin wouldn't have glanced off if there'd been more of
a target.
Up-In-Ya -- What's your beef with Youngblood and the firm? I don't care for 'em
myself. I'm just nosey. -- Bookie
Turtle -- 3-2. How damn. Good job. Told ya you were ready! -- Bookie
Polarius -- Well to ease your mind President Bush does NOT love cocaine. He just
loves the smell. (evil grin) -- Bookie
Jinx -- Congrats on the graduation. -- Bookie
P.S. Treaty with Toad, huh? Haven't you heard that if you lie with toads you can
catch downchallenges?
Polarius -- This just in: The Firm poked their heads out and saw their shadows.
Looks like three more weeks of winter. Drats! -- Bookie
Big Bed -- I see you're as fierce as Brown Kitty was. (uncontrollable laughter) --
Huggy Bear, Suicidal Dreams, the same Froth'n team name that's in Osksi
Brickhosue -- Grr. I tried. -- Bibidy-Bobidy-Boo
Papa Bear -- Once, just once, for old times sake send in ONE ad. Puh puh please. --
Bookie
Section Hate -- Who's your manager? -- Bookie
Eruption -- I know how you got that name. With all that blood spurting from your
chest it looked like an eruption! Only thing wrong with that fight is I left you
breathing. I'll do my best to rectify that situation ASAP. -- Frosty McCloud
All -- I'm back biznitches. Back to win the kill contest. I see Gone Country has
quit running. Figures, he was easier than a $2 Ho in tha hood. This is my time.
After I beat ya'll I going to smoke my magic blunt. If you want some come get some.
-- KLK 4 Life=Brewha
Polarius -- Haaa! Haa...well damn near a genius. Don't hand me that crap about
everyone around me was inactive. I do not care for any explanation that you may
attempt to force feed me! I am not an Andorian...I am a Dwarf and a very nasty one
at that!!! I will not tolerate any more disrespect out of you; if you continue I
will slay your whole damn stable! "Got that!!!!" -- Drips/STDS!
Badda Bamm -- I only challenged you because, after all...everyone within range to
challenge was/in inactive!!! I learn very fast don't I? Heee...Heee...Heee! Hey!!!
Polarius taught me that one! Smile! Give your Golem buddy my best wishes "Shadow
Starr!" -- Drips
Trojan Man -- What da hell...where the hell you come from? I'll keep a close eye on
you! -- Drips
Polarius -- "Hey!" You have forgot to tell the whole story concerning who was
lurking in the shadows of this fine city...alone with my mother, sister and
grandmother lurking in the shadows...your mother and grandmother were also found
right alongside of my family members who were all caught in the buff doing the nasty!
Please from now on...when you tell or spread the story/rumor...please tell the whole
uncut version...not your interpretation of it!!! That way, I won't have to keep
embarrassing you in public. Smile! I like to talk crap and have very thick skin...
bring it chump! -- Up-In-Ya a.k.a. Sir Chester
Bookie -- I'll tell my grandmother that she left her teeth in your buggy and where to
pick them up at. Sorry about that! -- Drips!
Bookie -- Know the difference between being Polarius and Bipolar? Absolutely none at
all!!! -- Up-In-Ya/Sir Chester
All -- Doesn't look as though we are going to get many more managers in here for that
so called Kill Contest. -- Up-In-Ya
All -- Can't wait until I can add another gladiator to my stable...so, he too, can
kick the hell out of your sleazy fighters. -- Up-In-Ya...soon!
All -- Know the difference between "Blitzkrieg" and "Sewage"??? NONE!!! -- Always...
Up-In-Ya!
All -- I'm back KLK and we shall rule all! -- The Dreaming
Marek -- I challenge you again to see if you can fight better. -- Corinthian
All -- Hey anybody who wishes to challenge me and feels froggy enough, leap on this
lily pad. -- Shawnda
Blitzkrieg -- Thank you for the good fight and teaching me a new skill. It really
helps in the long run. Hola. -- Shawnda
All -- Can anyone defeat me ha ha ha. :) -- Cluracan
4 February 2004
Greeting from Jhans, DM 36 -- In 2 turns the kLk will host our first annual "St.
Valentines Day Massacre" in Jhans, arena 36. (Kill Contest) The contest will begin
on turn 450. It will run for 10 turns. On turn 461 the winners will be announced.
There will be 3 separate categories, the team with the most kills, the alliance with
the most kills, and the warrior with the most kills. For the manager of the team
with the most kills a PRIZE of 10 ROLL-UPS will be rewarded (or $50 deposited into
his account). No need to declare yourself in the personals. If you are in DM 36,
you will be part of the contest whether you like it or not. We encourage as much
trash talk as you'd like. All teams, managers, and alliances invited. Please
contact Polarius (mgr. of Blitzkrieg) in DM 36 with questions. Or you can email me
at jamieptmo@hotmail.com. Good luck and see you in the sands. -- Polarius

MONGO'S MARDI GRAS MADNESS DUELMASTERS AUCTION
Mongo, aka Matt McIntosh and ex-Warden of the Dark Circle, is auctioning off his
entire collection of Duelmasters warriors and stables. Don't miss out on this chance
to own some fantastic warriors! There are ADM warriors available in every class from
Primus to Freshmen, as well as over a dozen Basic stables.
Does a Slasher with +4 attack, +4 decisiveness, +3 initiative and +2 riposte
sound good? How about a Lunger who received the benefit of a TC prize, has TVed
three times after graduating--and still hasn't maxed out his skills!? How about a
Striker in the Freshmen class who has decisiveness for a favorite learn and the MAUL
for a favorite weapon!?
Or perhaps you prefer playing in Basic. Then how does a stable with four Adept
class warriors who have a combined record of 41-19-9 sound? Or maybe a stable with
three 21-Will warriors? Or perhaps a stable with four Initiates and a Rookie who
have a combined record of 23-6-1?
The quality of the lots is excellent. All you need to view and bid on the lots
is go to:
http://members.aol.com/jvmerlino/mardigras.html
If you want to be on the mailing list to receive regular updates on the auction,
just send an e-mail to JVMerlino@aol.com. Merlin, aka John Merlino and also an ex-
Warden of the Dark Circle, will be running this auction for me. I just moved to New
Orleans and am likely currently stumbling around the French Quarter...because it's
Mardi Gras! So I have named my auction in honor of this occasion.
The auction will start on Saturday, March 13th, 2004, and will continue for
several weeks. But you should get your bids in early if you want your best chance at
owning any of these fantastic warriors and stables.
Many thanks to all for your interest and your bids,
Mongo
