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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DANI 2918 10 2 2 101 JANIX (298) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MADAM VENUSIA 2887 16 10 0 90 SPARF!

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.
