DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Yay...here I am again on the throne of Stormcrowe. I would actually just like to be
in retirement on the Isle, but no such luck.
After researching and other such nonsense, Master Darque says that I will probably be
here another two turns (excluding this one). Apparently that 50 FE drivel that he
was screaming about applies to arena FE and not total FE. He must be right because
I'm still here. He hates it when he is wrong. I rather enjoy it, but don't tell him
that I said that.
No challenges and no avoids this turn. If you want a shot at me, challenge away.
The throne has lost its luster in my eyes. I have been here a lot though, and the
throne has melded to me, so it is comfortable...for now.
Your Duelmistress,
Hot Lips
Darque Forces
Soldier of the Vendetta Cartel
SPY REPORT
Good day, in STORMCROWE a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets
poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, SNAKE EYES
fought HEN-PECKED HARRY and gained 15 points and contributed to BLIND LUCK's 1-0-0.
HEN-PECKED HARRY has lost to SNAKE EYES, falling 4 points, while helping make A
DEAL'S A DEAL a 3-2-0 turn. Defending hers title for another turn, HOT LIPS kept
NORTHERN LIGHTS' warrior, FROSTFLARE, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm
a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The
Shadow's Fountain until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A DEAL'S A DEAL made what looks to
be a tough decision this turn, as they sent ZOEY, with a record of 14-9-1, to ZOEY
death. Farewell, hers. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of
their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in STORMCROWE again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

Frostflare -- I didn't change anything, and I'm sure you didn't either ;). -- Hot
Lips
Zoey -- Master Darque said he knew that would be the outcome if I fought you.
Congrats on graduation. -- Raggedy Ann
Captured Orc? Who wants to capture an orc? ORCSR4BBQN. -- The Bride
Panther -- Thanks for the learns. I wouldn't want to do that again in about 4 or 5
turns. I may come on the losing end or pointy end, depending on how you look at it.
-- Celestial Rose
Kat -- You'll have to show me the numbers for this Lion's Den team of yours. --
Master Darque
P.S. Welcome to my second home!
Applejack -- You've been quiet lately. You still with us? -- Master Darque
All -- Zoey, ST 18(+1)-11-12-17-9-5-13 MS MD/LO. Da last a tha Orks, an tha onliest
one what didn't wash out or die. A morningstar striker... one a my ideals for a
high-flashin warrior, zing zang *WHANGO* ...cept'n Zoey couldn't outjump a
houseplant. (kid did love a good fight, though) Plus I'm not normally a headhunter
but if still runnin'er, it occurs that a high attack should be meetin high
resistance. -- Applejack, Mgr. A Deal's a Deal
Dapl -- Nobody saw that one coming, but then what one fore-sees has to stick to
possibles. What one ...sees, doesn't. -- Red
Blizzard Bill -- My man! My main man!! (what was your name again?) Compliments?!?
We don't solicit them, they come or they don't come. -- Crunch
Walrus -- You fuddled my mental apparati, but I saw through. -- Aunty Macassar
Puma -- Hello. The short list is getting shorter. Zoey's hogging the DA this cycle,
but I've been told to win or accommodations for me will be forthcoming. -- Hang-Ten
Harry (hanging on)
Lynx -- Wow, great fur! Your resistance to my special power is impressive. --
Frostbite
P.S. Impressive teeth, too! Better a frostbite than a lynxbite, I think.
Ocelot -- You may be, as the saying goes, the ocelot of opposition, but winter always
comes in the end. It isn't that you are weak, but I am strong. -- Lady Winter
Hot Lips -- You melted me, and I have to admit the experience was thrilling. (long,
detailed description of the melting process deleted, as there are limits to what
other people really want to know) Way to go, hot lady! -- Frostflare
Aunty Macassar -- I wish you would go back to Madagascar, or wherever it was you came
from initially, because you're just too oily for me. Slippery through and through.
-- Walrus
P.S. And you haven't a clue about cabbages.
Crunch -- Huh, the arenamaster was impressed before either of us did a thing!
Must've been the intensity of our initial grimaces. You had the edge in that, being
a Shew, you had more face to grimace with. Darn. After I break out of this pill-
palace, how about if we go do some grimacing together down along the waterfront.
Check out a few bars, see if we can grimace up enough copper for a few beers? --
Blizzard Bill
Hot Lips -- And so the Handicapper and the Drawer-of-Names-Out-of-Hats makes fools of
us all. May you live and graduate soon. -- Frostflare
The Bride -- Not deliberately, but if that turns out to be the only route I can take,
well, what else is there for me to do, eh? -- Frostbite
Congratulations to Zoey! -- all of us at Northern Lights

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.
