SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ILLIS this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. VILE REAVERS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0
into a 5 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work,
guys! And let's see, THERE IS A GOD fought DOOMIE JUGGERNAUT and gained 19 points
and contributed to BASHAHOLICS ANON's 1-1-0. I'M POWERLESS has lost to LUCIUS
VORENUS, falling 12 points, while helping make BASHAHOLICS ANON a 1-1-0 turn. Well
done, ILLIS, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps URG
GUTSPILLER is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times. And all eyes were on UMI
this turn as she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. ILLIS has a new victor! Can
someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do
dishes at The Welcome Wench until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the IMPROVED ILLUSION stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on ILLIS, what are you afraid of? And guess who
avoided IMPROVED ILLUSION stable the most? Believe it or not, it was VILE REAVERS.
Anyone surprised?
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. 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.
I like this place, ILLIS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? 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 ILLIS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

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.
