                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings and Salutations again.  I know there's *someone* out there who's surprised
to see me up here again. (Hi-ya, Blackstorm!)...but nevertheless--here I am.
Hopefully this turn, those no longer residing in town post-contest will finally drop
off.  I could use a little less clutter, though I've a feeling it'll be much emptier
this turn.  I'm not challenging anyone this turn--letting fortunes fall where they
may.  Eight of the top ten didn't fight last turn anyhow.  Besides, if I challenge
and defeat Chaos again, I fear for his ego....

Your Duelmistress -- Dani

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for TROCAR.  OF WOLF AND MAN like really 
fought hard to move up to 3rd from 6th.  Way to go!  MVP award for WRONG WAY?  OF 
WOLF AND MAN's proud of him after beating SHAGORNAN WILD MAN and getting 21 points.  
Talk about yer big time losers!  CHAOS WARRIOR got smashed by XYCO, and lost 11 
points!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  DANI stopped WILD-EYED FANATIC dead 
in his tracks!  I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  
They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  EYE OF THE STORM was TROCAR's most avoided team.  Is there some 
award for that?  I don't know what JANIX's been doing.  They certainly haven't been 
accepting many fights from EYE OF THE STORM, that's fer sher.  Can EYE OF THE STORM's 
RUNE KNIGHT be more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that really 
the same?  People were asking me did JUICE MAN REALLY challenge RUNE KNIGHT?  (all 
right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or 
anything, but RUNE KNIGHT wants me to write about it since he beat JUICE MAN.  
Satisfied?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All TROCAR ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  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.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

clerics, and quick-handed thieves to begin a quest requested by the Emperor of the

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.
