It is I, Polarius, back with your inconsistent KILL CONTEST REPORT! With only 1 kill turn 455 had about as much action as FLAGG on a Friday night. (or any night as far as that goes!) Of course one question was answered. The question of who's your DADDY! GUARD DOG no longer has to wonder! DADDY has sent him to the big PUPPY POUND in the sky. This puts TOAD in a tie with BOOKIE for first place in the CONTEST with 3 KILLS. ARROGANCE vs EGO! Do you actually have to ask which is which? Looks like the WINDS OF CHAOS have blown into JHANS...I just hope they blow a little harder! With only 2 teams they are about to become TARGET DUMMIES! Anway here are your contest leaders: Suicidal Dreams -- 3 Little Girls Like -- 3 Abysmal Behaviors -- 1 Babes -- 1 Blind Hypocrisy -- 1 Blitzkrieg -- 1 Crimson Tide -- 1 Iron Tigers -- 1 Section Hate -- 1 STD's -- 1 As you can see this is still anyone's contest!

He had gone from a care-free teen with a whole city as his disposal to that city's ruler. It was quite a stretch for the Prince who'd never had any more responsibility then simply to NOT get caught up in anything that would embarrass the Royal Family. Now he controlled Jhans' fate in a time where everything was far from certain. Corridor of Jhans Royal Palace: The managers had been summoned (if you call being told to come NOW OR ELSE as being summoned) an hour ago by City guards. Bookie and Polarius had no clue what this was about but marched on anyway. Both were more then a little concerned though. "What's this about? C'mon, Bookie. You know him better then I do. Has he ever just sent for you like this?" Polarius tried to whisper. Knowing the guards were listening Bookie made his answer as short and careful as he could. "I...have....no....frothin'....clue. Just when you get in here smile and be your 'normal charming self'." They made a turn and where allowed to pass through a double-door guarded by two soldiers, each sporting a halberd. "Friendly looking chaps..." Bookie thought to himself. They entered into a huge sanctuary. Four columns reached up to the heavens. They were at least eighty feet tall and they marked the four corners of an indoor swimming area of some kind. Light shown down on the water from above and when it rained the pool caught the Alastarian showers which ran from the pool down a canal to a miniature man-made waterfall. It was all very stunning to behold. Then Prince Darron called out to them and motioned for them to approach. The Prince was perched on a throne being pampered by his maid-servants who granted him whatever whim he may have had. The managers approached and bowed. "Did you send for us, Prince Darron?" The Prince smiled. "Yes. Yes I did. I have a duty to ask of the two of you. A duty for which I will reward you. Interested?" The Prince had something of a mad look in his eyes and the managers were almost afraid to ask what duty the Prince needed served. Cautiously Polarius proceeded. "What can we do for you, your highness?" The Prince leaned back, reached for his chalice and took a chug before answering. "What you can do for me...is organize a unit to patrol outside the city gates for zombies. There have been more and more of them seen lately and I want you two to keep the area outside the city wall safe for all those who would commerce in this great city." Bookie and Polarius exchanged glances. Both managers were very busy in their own endeavors. They had little time for zombie-hunting. Bookie asked "Wouldn't it just be easier to send the city-guard? Why get managers and gladiators to do the military's job?" "Because that would upset the people. The people don't want to see a legion of soldiers marching out every day to kill zombies. That would mean the zombies MUST be a threat or we wouldn't send out the army...BUT...if a group of managers were out hunting zombies on their own then the panic would be minimal." Polarius interjected, "Your highness, with all due respect, do you realize how much time and effort it would take to do this? We have contests and tournaments to prepare for and the time just isn't here. This would be best left to the military." The Prince nodded silently and scratched his chin. "Hmmm. I thought you might say something like this. So I got you each something I know you wanted." The Prince snapped his fingers and a servant approached from behind him carrying a silver tray with two parchments on it. The Prince took the first parchment and threw it at Polarius' feet and then took the second and threw it at Bookie's feet. The managers stood motionless. They weren't sure what to do. "Go ahead." Darron said. "Pick them up and look. I'm sure you'll both be pleased." The managers picked up the parchments at their feet and unrolled them. As they read both of their faces lit up. "That's right, Bookie. The deed to the Loucas Lounge with a guarantee to expand it within a year to whatever specifications you want." Bookie acted stunned. "How? How did you get this?" The Prince smiled proudly. "It wasn't easy. I had to find the manager of 'Billy Joel Fans'. He'd been sub-leasing it since he left the game but I convinced him to sell. And it's yours. All you have to do is go kill zombies. The same for you, Polarius. Except instead of the Lounge you get a commission in the Jhans military, something you've always wanted." Polarius acted absolutely astonished. "How did you know? How could you know?" "It is a ruler's job to know...not to explain HOW he knows. So...do we have an agreement? The parchments in your hands in exchange for you and your other gladiatorial 'friends' keeping the roads zombie-free. Fair enough?" The Prince's smile was devious, knowing he was asking for more then the managers bargained. But the managers agreed anyway. "We'll do it." Bookie and Polarius said together. "GOOD!! GOOD!! I expect patrols to start in the morning! If you two need anything...just ask." The managers bowed and started to walk away clutching at their precious parchments but before they could get too out of ear-shot the Prince yelled out. "Bookie!!" Bookie turned and replied. "Yes?" "That girl from the other night. Is she...available this evening?" Bookie turned knowingly to Polarius and smiled deviously. "Of course your highness!! Anything you want!" They made arrangements on what time she was to come and Bookie and Polarius made their way out of the Royal Palace. When Bookie was certain they were safely away from prying eyes and ears he whispered to Polarius. "What did I tell you? He's doing just what we want him to do. And wait, just wait 'til Shawnda gets through with him this time. He'll do whatever we want him to do." + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Out of the Past #7 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Delarquan Edition Old Valamantis: The group of gladiators moved toward the edge of the risen city as slowly and carefully as they would have approached a sleeping dragon... that maybe wasn't sleeping after all. There was a partial wall separating the buildings from the countryside around them, but it must be outside the area of effect, because it was not in good condition. There were gaps and fallen stones, even trees growing between them where the ages had trapped dirt. Smeds of Mordant patted one of the stones thoughtfully. "Honest stonework here," he murmured. "And more recent than the ruins," Shamu of Cliffhome agreed. "Six hundred years, I'd say." He glanced at Smeds, and the other Dwarf nodded agreement. "Built just before the most recent Chaos War," the Silver Mage said, "to keep things in the ruins from getting out. Brought down by that war, at least in part. But..." he touched several stones lightly and smiled a little, "not completely useless even now and against this enemy. Honest stonework, as you say, but there is a barrier spell bound within the stones, and it remains." "If the spell is still working, why are we worrying about the ruins?" Smeds of Mordant demanded. "Because the spell will not keep working much longer." Tensekai frowned across the wall into the city. "It was a good wall and a good spell, but it won't hold Folstrom forever. Nothing--" He stopped and looked uncomfortable. "You were going to say that nothing will hold the Folstrom forever?" Sputter of Dwes Eg asked. Tensekai shrugged. "No absolute statement like that should be trusted, but I can honestly say that nothing we've found so far, except raw Chaos, will stop them. We have new spells, of course, but what was there to test them on? We don't know." "Yes, okay, but what are we supposed to be DOING here, then?" Lavender Lance of Illis asked. "You must observe," the Silver Mage answered promptly. "And I must go with you, because there are some things ONLY a mage can observe. If we can find the keystone of the spell that holds the towers up, we could destroy it, yes, and it might be a good thing to do so, but the towers are just a symptom. There are more dangerous things in Old Valamantis than just the towers." "Those things being?" Smeds cut in. "The wizards, obviously," Lavender Lance snapped. "Again, just a symptom," Tensekai said. "Dangerous, yes, very dangerous, but...." Ka D'Argo, who had never been described as stupid, even by his enemies, nodded slightly. "The wizards in Old Valamantis were resurrected along with the city," he said slowly. "You think there might be some way for them to reach other wizards, other Folstrom, of THIS time, don't you? That's what we have to prevent." Tensekai nodded. "How?" Smeds demanded. "I'm not sure," the Silver Mage admitted. "Killing the resurrected wizards might do it." "But you don't think that's enough, do you?" Goblin said. "No. I think we'll have to destroy the old city again," Tensekai answered. "And that won't be easy with all the blood that's been spilled there. Not when blood magic is at its strongest, as now." "But it can be done?" Smeds asked. "To get rid of bloodstains, soak in cold water and hand-wash," Lavender Lance muttered. Tensekai turned toward her slowly, eyes wide. "WHAT did you say?" The Illisni gladiator backed up a couple of steps in the face of his intensity. "It's how you get bloodstains out of cloth. Soak it in cold water--" "Yes!" The mage stared around almost feverishly. "We'll need a LOT of cold water...." "Ice," Smeds suggested. "From the mountains above Khalhums. Dwarves can do that." He glanced at Shamu, who nodded. "We're on it." The two Dwarves stepped aside, muttering together about sledges and sawdust. "If the wizards now in Old Valamantis realize we're trying to... quench the blood magic, they'll move to stop us," Ka D'Argo said. "So securing the arena and a route of access will be our job." "And if any wizards get killed in the process..." Goblin bared his fangs, "too bad for them." * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 495): SMEDS of THE BLACK COMPANY (Darkfist, mgr.)

I still haven't told Mom I'm writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Too bad, KAMIKAZI, but THE FALLEN was just too good to be stopped. 5440 OR FIGHT! like really fought hard to move up to 8th from 15th. Way to go! MVP award for SPATHIC? 5440 OR FIGHT!'s proud of it after beating DADDY and getting 18 points. Talk about yer major upsets! GHETTO KING's match with DONNA cost him a loss of 16 points! Like, M. THRASHER must be pretty gutsy! He challenged the Duelmaster from BLIND HYPOCRISY. Does this guy have a death wish or what! Boo, hoo! M. THRASHER slew (slaught? slet?) HALO 14! Actually I never liked him much. He just wanted to fight all the time. Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? FLAGG'S CHAOS 5 was JHANS' most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Is there some deep dark secret why THE BREW CREW's been avoiding FLAGG'S CHAOS 5 so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is ARACHNE popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of JHANS! He's got a 4-4-0, is that good? Ooh! Did PINK BEAR really know what she was doing when she challenged KATHLEEN? A 18-10-1 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I don't know what it means.) Like, was that some fighting on PINK BEAR's part, or what? And she got 28 points out of it! (besides getting in my report) Poor KATHLEEN. Some fights are really unfair. How do you think PSYCHO feels about being challenged by BROWN KITTY TOO, 18 points above her? A lotta people lost a lotta money in a lotta bets, when BROWN KITTY TOO challenged PSYCHO, 18 points below and lost! Send 'im to the Dark Arena! Speaking of challenging 27 points above did you hear about THE DARK of WOLF PACK vs. KAMIKAZI's OBLIVIOUS? (And how was that intro!) Do you think THE DARK knew something before he challenged OBLIVIOUS? He got a win and 19 points. What will the guy do next? JEALOUSY RAINS is being unfair. She's challenged down 17 against WASTEM WUORNOS. I don't know why they let this stuff go on. (I'd better shut up) JEALOUSY RAINS beat WASTEM WUORNOS. No surprise about that. Really I'm not surprised JEALOUSY RAINS would do such a scummy thing, either. Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All JHANS ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. Hey! Quit laughing! Just because TIKI BOB had 8-6-0 was no reason for BLITZKRIEG to send him to the Dark Arena! Stop it! What a bummer! TANTRIC got wasted by TROJAN MAN! But with a 6-6-1, I guess BLITZKRIEG aren't too bummed. What a bunch of heartless! I couldn't believe how many people were snickering when SLAYIN STAYNER killed RAVAGE. So he had a 8-6-0, that's no excuse! What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out!

What's the deal with that? -- Sylvester Frothingslosh Bookie -- Not sure if you know, but I run the "Wolf Pack". Reading all your personals cracks me up, you were always one of the best at it, keep it up! -- Sylvester Mordraith -- I can't tell you how nice it is to see you back in action! You still coming back to Sunset as well? -- Sylvester Jeckyll -- See above ad. Err, at least the 2nd part of it. ;) -- Sylvester "Ultraist" F. Bookie -- RE your ad to Toad: Now that was an entertaining piece of reading! -- Sylvester Tiki Bob -- Your buddy Union Jack is next on the list! -- The Dark Anyone got a manager list for this arena? -- Sylvester I have no doubt that the Saint, Keeper of Lists, does, but she's on vacation. I hope you don't mind waiting till next turn. -- Temp Ed. who has no lists Hey, are we having a contest or not? If so, whoever runs it, RUN IT! -- Shocking Toad P.S. I believe it's Bookie that runs it and that would explain the crappy service. He believes in Government taking care of the populace and this is the kind of service we get when Government is in charge. I got better service at the DMV last month than we all get in Jhans with this contest. Update the standings fool! Bookie, you are weak and worthless, you do NOT belong here. -- Shocking Toad P-Diddy, you should call yourself what you really are-- SD Beeeatccchhhhh! -- Shocking ToadA Azrael, don't know who you are and I don't care. Don't know who Chaos is and I don't care. You want a piece of me, BRING IT ON! -- Shocking Toad Hey Bookie, I'm not the baby girl that ran out of Osksi after taking a beeting. You can bring it on anywhere and everywhere. You are nothing. My situation here deals with the characters I have/had; nothing to do with you. I have 1 fighter with more than 5 fights. 40% of my team totals a whole 4 fights. They are young, they will grow, they will kick your Commie butt whereever/whenever, you send no fear, only amusement. Hoping to see you soon baby girl! -- Shocking Toad "You can lead a fool to knowledge but you can't make him think!" "If good remains silent only evil will be heard!" 5440 (or morth), bookie, ank -- Normally I make it a point never to post in arena I'm not currently active in, but since my name was posted here three times I felt obligied to comment. In case you remember no one ran me out of this arena I had one kill at the start and no kills against me and this with a very medicore team lol. That I put here to run with a friend of mine. Secondly after reading over the last three turns it looks more like a betty crocker cook fest giong here more than a killing spree heheh...only posting 4 kills in three turns between about 20 teams roughly is some pretty sad killing percantage if you ask me, and over 50 percent of the deaths in the dead column come from da fights. Imho this is a walk in the park compared to competions like morya madness in 28 this is palein comparision. -- Silver Stroke bookie, ank, mor -- so please come to Morya if you want a real competiton. Come get some. -- Silver Stroke Papa Bear -- Congrats on Donna's TV. -- Polarius Toad -- Hey, you've tied Bookie for the contest lead! Congrats! I'm glad it is close competition. -- Polarius Chaos -- Welcome to Jhans. I hope we show you a very warm welcome! -- Polarius, mgr. of Blitzkrieg Jekyll -- Hmm...bloodfued didn't go through. And the warrior I sent after you lost! Great! I guess I've got 2 more turns to try. -- Polarius Mordraith -- Welcome back! Welcome to the ranks of the kLk! -- Polarius Anarkysts -- Nice down challenge. But I guess you are used to going down...for challenges! -- Funky Cold Medina/Blitzkrieg Jhans -- The last 14 turns have been fun. My manager thinks that he has kept me a couple turns too many! For those of you who care: 17(2)-19(2)-17-5(2)-16(2)-4-15(1) -- Tiki Bob Cosmo -- Just cause I will not be in Jhans anymore you can still come to my house. Just remember, no groping is allowed! -- Tiki Bob Mordraith -- Don't fake the funk..... to use your term "Bi-atch" I'm more than happy to give you the "welcome back" that you need. Consider me the welcome wagon when your warriors drop like flies to my Disciples. Welcome home, choppy, welcome home. You prepared to reap the whirlwind? -- Jekyll Bookie -- Yeah... I can talk... as a matter of fact I used to ham it up quite a bit in the ads... you can ask Mordy about that. Haven't really spoke alot in the ads the past couple of years... but damnit... that's part of the game and you numbnuts have gotten my attention. It's been awhile since DM was 100% fun. It's always been fun, just the past 2-3 years (Hell, probably more to some) there has been something "missing". Well I'm in it for the long haul... lthough I really don't think you are aware of the monster you have just woke from his slumber. As far as Chaos goes... what the hell ever. Yeah, you got my support in that area. I don't quite know who the players are in that little regime so you and your boyz will have to get me up to speed. Let's take care of a little bit of Chaos then we'll go back to our regularly scheduled program. -- Jekyll P-diddly -- Take it down a notch, Jethro. I could care less that your from the "Heart of Dixie", although depending on where your from, I'm sure several other states below the Mason Dixon line would disagree with your statement. Hell I've grown up, lived in, have family in, etc damn near the entire South. KKK, KLK... it's all a play on words. Damn near every alliance's name is butchered, skewed, poked at, what not (GOD KNOWS, the Foundation can vouch for that!). So deal with it, because that is the way it is and always will be. Do I think you boyz put on white robes and pointy hats? No, but ya know what... it damn sure got your Overalls all in a twist, eh?!? So shine up that 10 lb. belt buckle, throw on a little Conway Twitty and tell the Sheep goodnite, and more importantly... chill the hell out. -- Jekyll STDS -- Ya know the crowd has been chanting and screaming about it for weeks.... A battle of myself vs. any and/or all of the STDS. They want to see how I'll hold up... if I'm durable, safe, and reliable. Well we just saw that Chlamydia cannot stop me... and as a matter of fact Chlamydia didn't even put up much of a fight (although she could have taught me some skills). What else ya got? Care to give disease #2 a try. Double your pleasure, double your fun. Test the guarantee, sickly one, test it. Make it worth my time on the next go-around. -- Trojan Man Bookie -- To answer your question as to why the rest of The Foundation went inactive. Well, it's a combo of several things actually. The first is Time and/or Money. I'm sure we can all relate to that. Some had no time, and some had no money to spend on DM, and some was a combo of the two. But despite the money/time situation, The Foundation has always found a way around that provided the game intrigues us and is fun. So the bottom line is that for my old cronies the game has changed too much to still pique their interest. It hasn't changed in and of itself, HOWEVER, the attitude/philosophoes of the majority of those that play today have changed drastically then when we (The Foundation) FIRST started playing. We all gave it a second go-around for a couple of years... and you see the end result. I am the only Overlord active now. So when I say Time and/or Money I am still correct, it's just now that now its not neccessarily a lack of but more along the lines of do they WANT to invest that Time/Money into a game that in their eyes is just a shadow of its former self. As it stands now, Bird has officially quit (twice now I might add) and has divvied up his ADM roster to Carnage, myself, and our old ex-alliance mate Floyd. Will the others return to our wonderfull and addicting game? I don't know, I'll give my boys another year or so before I retire the Foundation. -- Ryan / Jekyll Shocking Toad -- Man, I've been trying to remember where I know you from. You look...so familiar. I thought about it and thought about it and then it hit me! You used to work for Warner Bros didn't you? Didn't you!? When people are around you never speak (just like you never send ads) but when you're alone with somebody it's all "Hello my baby...hello my darlin'...hello my raggggtime gal..." Wow, an old cartoon legend amidst us. Maybe we could get Rascilly Rabbit in here and start some sort of demented cartoon war. <shrug> -- Bookie NBK -- MORDRAITH!!! Ha-Ha...YOU MADE IT!! Excellent. Let the bodies hit the floor...let the bodies hit the floor...LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!!! -- Doc LeNecroBookie, D.R.C. 4 LIFE!! Flagg -- (this is player to player) Glad you could make it. Hope you stick around and dont get run off by the level of nastiness here. <laugh> G'luck. -- Bookie Flagg -- (this is in character) Well, well, well... Take a look at what the cat's drug in. So you finally got the juevos to show up...and you brought a friend with you. Good. <evil grin> It's been along time since me and 'Draith got to beat someone down together. I hope you got more friends then that one team 'cause if not you got problems...BIG problems. -- Bookie Cosmo, Sexorcist, Ultraist -- Guys...c'mon...please...for old times sake...can I hear a D.R.C. 4 Life? How about dustin' off the ole DOOMcorps shirts? It's a froth'n reunion!!! Mordraith...get some beer!! Let's party up in this be-yatch!! -- Bookie P.S. Is funny how through all the alliances and stuff it was always 'US'. I'm glad you guys are back. Ravage -- This is for Bamm!! <whack> This is for Bookie!! <whack> And this is for your manager being a froth'n idiot and not realizing he's being played like a fool but that THING he calls a girlfriend. <whack> <whack> <whack> Tell Azrael to wake up... it's sad to watch. -- Huggy Bear P.S Word on the street is Donna done served more people then McDonald's and Az is the poor fool still eating her pie....eewwwwww Ladies and Gentlemen -- Greetings and salutations! -- Paradox23, mgr. of Twisted I was lookin at the newsletter and was impressed at the large number of PA's. I gotta admit, I was even more impressed that it was entirely comprised of 3 people who have a personal vendetta against ink and trees. ;) It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it. Mordraith -- Do Chaos winds blow? Or do they just suck? Just wonderin'. -- Bookie P.S. I'm Doc Steele see, mwa-ha-ha... Flagg -- And don't be comin' up in here tryin' to be tricky. I know you. You'll try something underhanded but it won't work here. Silly Flaggette, tricks are for kLk's. -- Doc LeNecroBookie, Warden of the Froth Circle P.S. I'm Doc LeNecroBookie, mwa-ha-ha... Clap -- Clap on? Naw, CLAP-OFF! -- Shadow Starr Bang -- Thanks for gettin' me DA'd, bitch! -- Bibidy-Bobidy-Boo Sexorcist -- Hey man, for ole times sake crotch-chop Toad for me. C'mon...take your hands and <chop>. Hell...if you won't I will.... <crotch chop-chop-chop> DRC FOR FROTH'N LIFE!!! -- Bookie Ultra-Bomb-4000(Sylvester) -- Glad you're back. mwa-ha-ha. Oops, sorry. My 'Doc Steele' just came out on its own. "Got lucky match-up at the tourney see...mwa-ha- ha." Ugh!! What the hell?! Can't....stop....must...make...fun....of....Doc...must...annoy...Neon... ARGH! -- Bookie P.S. DRC for life, mha-ha-ha Temporary Editor -- Should Doc LeMa$e return it would speed the coming new golden age for Jhans... how ever I am not going to hold my breath... -- Mordraith That's the way it goes sometimes. -- Temp Ed. P.S. But you look very colorful when your face turns blue. Bookie -- looks like Chaos showed up for the party... now what sort of fun do we have planned for them... -- Mordraith Manager -- Leave it to me to talk smack and have my DAed guy get killed by superior... Oh ironic fates how you mock me... -- Mordraith Polarius-- What can I say, Thrasher's got the knack... You can swing by the guild house and look at his training... might be surprising... -- Mordraith Reaper -- Well faught... I am impressed... -- Krunk Monkey Hepcat -- You were lucky...Very lucky... I think our next meeting will have a much different outcome... -- Spathic!! (formerly Dead Meat) Flaggy boy -- Well well well... Looks like chaos has arrived... yes Jhans is trembling... with laughter... Don't become acustomed to those 3-2 turns, I doubt you'll be getting much of those anymore... YOu are a marked man in Jhans... So you bringing more friends? -- Mordraith Another Fiasco -- I am assuming you are one of flaggs little pals, and thus you will be getting thrown a beating also... If it proves to not be true, you will still be thrown a beating... So announce who you are so we know who we are beating down... -- Mordraith KILL KILL KILL!!! -- Matrix Okay. I am finally here. So who do I gotta click to get some satisfaction? -- Matrix Talk of the town and we post good numbers on our 1st turn. Even now the arena is slowly becoming ours. -- Matrix Donna -- You hoe!!! -- Drips/STDS The Jhans Morge -- Was beginning to wonder what happened to my dear grandma...we thought she had shaked up with Bookie or Azrael? Yes she was one hell of an organ donor...heee heee heee. P-Diddy -- Thanks for the welcome and am enjoying Jhans and the KLK. Bookie -- I'll have you know that a pack of smokes are going for $50.00 bucks, but I'll give you two packs for Toad. -- STDS Trojan Man -- Your latex withstood me this time. Will attack you again wtih another STD and see how you react...I will not rest till I see you bust. -- Chlamydia/STDS Shadow Starr -- OH! Attempted to slay me did you??? Maybe next time? -- Clap!!! Cluracan -- I don't see how they called our fight 11 miutes brutal challenge fight...it was more like an 11 desperation duel! -- Syphilis/STDS Flagg -- Welcome to Jhans. Soon as we settle on "energon" shortage, the Decepticon conquest of Rodeki shall continue. Hope you found some Autobots. -- Ravage, with Devastator nodding his head behind him Flagg -- I know your Chaos and by the name "Another Fiasco" I guess he is too. You must not have talked to "Silverstroker" (hmm, hmm, I liked that one "Droith," may I call you "Droith" I wonder? Oh yea, Flagg.), I really hope there's more than two of you coming in or this is gonna be one short "invasion." -- Azrael, breeding Chaos for puppies Mordraith -- May I call you "Droith?" -- Azrael, spreading Chaos like sunflower seeds Bibidy-Bobidy-Boo -- Sorry if you got DA'd. -- Badda Bang Outloud -- Jhans, been nice fighting with all you guys. -- Jealousy -- headed to the Dark Arena unless I win my next two -- Rains Temp. Ed -- The arena crowd...DRUNK!!! Say it isn't so! -- Azrael Will you believe me? They look drunk. They sound drunk. They act drunk.... Outloud -- Cheesy Poofs, Cheesy Poofs. -- Fallen Guild Those Drinks at the Loucas Lounge are on me if the chaos LASTS, three turns, not if they last three turns, if they L-A-S-T three. -- Azrael, just trying to keep the expenses down Slashin Speck -- Bashed Insect. -- Devastator Nuncio -- What the Froth?! You just keep getting ratings against me. First Stayner, then Speck. Geesh, where'd Wastem go? -- Azrael Mordraith -- Welcome to the KLK bro, and no hard feelings but I gotta challenge M. Thrasher. That win will put me in place for a shot at the throne. -- Azrael, Lord of the Fallen and eyeballing the throne All -- Me Skirza, two lungers away from me being King. Me avenge friend Mac soon enuff. Me strongest there is. And among winners, no room for the weak. -- Skirza Slapstick "Mister Mushroom?" WTF?? Err, uhm, Polarius, Bookie, do I even want to frothin' know? -- Azrael "MF'n KLK" -- Just add the "version 1.0" and it's perfect, MF'n KLK V.1, hm, hm. -- Azrael V.1 Bamm -- You forgot about the admirer. -- Bang Pink Bear -- You got KLK boomed. -- Ravage All -- Feels good to be top team again. -- Turtle Toad -- Were you aware most turtles eat toads? Hmmm, come to think of it I'm hungry...for WINS. -- Turtle All -- I wanted to go by the name Kamikazi, but my KLK alliance brothers have declared me Turtle. -- (begrudgingly) Turtle Krunk Monkey -- Go back to the jungle and get rekrunk. You're wound down. -- Reaper Tantric -- Great fight. -- Subzero Chief Bling Bling$ -- Good fight. -- Scorpine Toad -- You need "another" blankee. Thank you for the win. -- Driver 14 April 2004 CHAOS Inc. proudly announces our newest member, Silver Stroke. He becomes the seventh brother of Chaos. We shall indeed be better for his joining. 6 May 2004 DEATH FEST The ferocious ghosts of former glories whispered across the wind swept sands of DM 59; agonizing incessantly due to the diminutive demise of the Delarq arena known as Illis. Tattered banners and forgotten memories wailed in the wind for a dynamic death march to dawn once more upon the blood stained sands of the Delarq slow arena. The distant call crying for a declaration of restoration amidst the ruin of the all but forgotten Delarq arena carried to the far corners of Alastari; drawing the Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging to cross blades and wage warfare among an assemblage of new stables managed by the Known and Unknown; willing to spill fresh blood, while carving their destiny during 15 Rounds of contest driven combat to be known as the "Illis Incredibly Diabolical Delarq Death Fest". A lone cloaked figure huddled by lamplight in a remote outpost near the crossroads of ElseWhere and ElseWhen; feverishly formulating the foundational framework for the dawning of the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59, complete with Gladiatorial Commission sanctioned prizes to promote the growing thirst for a Delarq Slow Arena Death Festival. Delarq Death Fest Opening Round debuts the first turn immediately following the Summer 2004 F2F Tourney and continues through the completion of 15 consecutive rounds. Death Fest points are Won or Lost ONLY in the DM 59 Delarq Slow Arena [Tourneys DO NOT Add or Subtract from the Death Fest Point Scoring System]: Death Fest Scoring Format: Win =3D +2 pts Loss =3D -1 pt Kill =3D +5 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win] Death =3D -3 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss] Dark Arena Kill =3D +10 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win] Dark Arena Death =3D -5 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss] Revenged Blood Feud =3D +5 pts [successful Revenged Blood Feud provides Death Fest contestants the opportunity to cancel out 3 pts for Death and 1 pt for Loss; while gaining +1 pt overall for the Revenged Blood Feud in addition to the +2 pts for Win] DEATH FEST PRIZES will be awarded to the Top Ten Death Fest Stables on the basis of Total Points*** accumulated during the 15 rounds of competition as follows: 1. Favorite Weapon Knowledge for 1 (one) warrior ranked Initiate or higher on the Final Round to be revealed by RSI to each of the Top Ten Death Fest Stables 2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters and NPCs [yet to be determined according to how many DA Monsters and NPCs are available in DM 59 for Renaming] 3. The Top Five Death Fest Stables will receive New Team Rollup Certificates as follows: 1st (10), 2nd (8), 3rd (6), 4th (4) and 5th (2) 4. Renaming Illis Arena for 6 months plus Receiving 6 months Free Play courtesy of RSI will be awarded to the manager of the 1st Place Death Fest Stable 5. Discussions are underway regarding a possible Special Award granted to the Illis Iron Stable qualifiers who compete in 67 of a possible 75 fights during the course of the 15 consecutive rounds of the Death Fest [Key Factor is How Many (?) stables will be competing in the Death Fest without drawing away participation by current managers in the remaining slow arenas!] Therefore, it is important for all managers entering stables in DM 59 for the upcoming Death Fest to contact RSI as soon as possible regarding their participation in this contest so that a Final Ruling on the proposed Illis Iron Stable Award can be issued by RSI. ***TieBreaker is determined on the Final Round by the DM 59 Newsletter Recognition Rankings. The stable with the Highest Ranked Active Gladiator is granted the decision. [Example: Warrior A and Warrior B are both listed in the Recognition Rankings with 87 pts; however, because Warrior A is listed in the Recognition Rankings ahead of Warrior B, then Warrior A is granted the TieBreaker Decision for His/Her stable!] Opening Round Team Spotlight Bonus [minimum 15 paragraphs!] Each Delarq Death Fest competitor who writes a Team Spotlight featuring their Stable (Name) and Managerial Alias [Gladiatorial Names Optional] in regards to competing in the Delarq Death Fest will receive 25 pts added to His/Her opening round score. Illis Iron Stable Bonus [in addition to the proposed award awaiting RSI approval!] Any manager whose stable competes in at least 67 of the possible 75 fights during the 15 rounds of Death Fest receives 25 points added to His/Her final overall score [this allows each stable the cushion of missing one round of competition; plus up to 3 additional fights due to waiting for replacement rollups from Deaths suffered either in Tourneys or during the Death Fest contest in DM 59 over the course of 15 rounds of competition!] Delarq Death Fest Hosted by Hammer [Who Else?] LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS TIKI BOB was butchered by BLACK ORC in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
