SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, XOCHITHLAN? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, THE MIDDLE WAY, since CHEAP
SHOTS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see SEA SNAKE win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, SEA SNAKE beat JADE MOON and JADE MOON lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart.
And if variety is the spice of life, XOCHITHLAN may be getting bland, as SKULK stays
top dog in the city. The Dripping Blade, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From XOCHITHLAN's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
CRIMINAL ELEMENT, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like CHEAP SHOTS
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only
shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of XOCHITHLAN. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Kahr -- Jack, thanks for the warm-up, Cannon Fodder. -- Skulk
Matt -- Are you my next tune-up, Sucker? -- Skulk
Quia Rayne -- (snicker) -- Chuckle
All -- We regret the harsh and inappropriate words that our employee, Skulk,
published last round. We have taken appropriate steps to correct this unacceptable
situation. -- Cheap Shot Upper Management
All -- They are so full of it! (sneer) -- Skulk
Chuckle -- It was a damned cheap shot for you to laugh and not share the joke! I
HATE you! -- Quia Rayne
P.S. Of course, you're a golem, so hate is pointless. So...I hate your manager!
Rirorni Officer -- Officer you may be, though I doubt that means much in OUR sense,
but you are definitely no gentleman. -- Belle Cor
P.S. That's the first time I've seen someone surrender gracefully while trying to
hold his head on. I wish the arenamaster, an old poop if I ever saw one, hadn't
stepped in to prevent me finishing the job of cutting your throat. You Rirorni would
all be better off dead.
Ms D. Meener -- I don't think you should have done that. It was Wrong. Maybe not
REAL wrong, but definitely not a Good Thing. -- Opara Persi
Rirorni Janissary -- They tell me your kind don't consort with women, preferring to
engage in unnatural practices among yourself. This would seem to run counter to the
oft-maintained claim that the Rirorni, being less "softened" by civilization, lead
lives that are more "natural" and "healthy." Couldn't prove that by me! -- Mori Neb
Rirorni Horseman -- Gods, you're a weird one! Who'd have thought a Rirorni would
approach a fight in that fashion? -- Wendal Xoki the bruised and battered
P.S. And what's the nonsense of calling you "Horseman"? ALL Rirorni are horsemen,
aren't they?
Cheap Shot Management -- Bring in the strike-breakers, eh? Get the union out of your
guildhouse! -- Nick
Wendel Xoki -- Fool! Know that civilization makes you WEAK when you come up against
US. Know further that as an elf, you are unfit for freedom in any case. But you
make adequate slaves. -- Malobi, a horseman of the Rirorni
Mori Neb -- It is unseemly that a woman should fight in that manner. You are an
offense against Mytori. -- one Rirorni Janissary among many
Belle Cor -- My lady, you are as fierce as one of our own women! What sons I could
get on you! -- Hulagei, a kahn of the Rirorni Horde
Matt Riside -- You're being unfair! One must survive, after all, and sometimes there
is only one way to do it. -- Mirinistelle, unwilling Collaborator
P.S. Besides, the War was over long ago.
Mann Slaughter -- Archery is a winner's art. You don't have it. -- Enemy Archer

Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
Our newest Dark Knight disrespected?!?!?! ARE THEY SERIOUS?!?! If at all possible,
let's get over to 31. I'm on the way. Let's get 'em. -- Dark Knight Osiris
26 June 2006
To those interested, G.E.C.K.O., Inc, is looking for able-bodied warriors to embark
on a dangerous mission. Those interested (or for more details) diplo me at:
Juice, DM 93, mgr. Arena Masters, Inc -- Juice
30 June 2006
All -- I am looking for able bodied warriors, magic-wielding wizards, faith-healing
clerics, and quick-handed thieves to begin a quest requested by the Emperor of the
Southern Kingdom of Crailmia. All interested parties can diplo me in arena 93 --
Noblish Island, c/o Will-O-Wisps (1422) or write to me at -- Robert Bennett, 317173,
4269 West M-80, Kincheloe, Mi 49784. -- the Lightbearer, mgr. Will-O-Wisps
1 July 2006
BROTHER KNIGHTS OF THE DESOLATE EMPIRE -- Hail brothers where ever you are to be
found! We are engaging in arena 31. Let them feel our wrath. 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.
