Well, heck. Bouncing Bea SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of AMEN-TEI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. KELLER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DAYTONA and was awarded 13 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, FRELSY put down AVALANCH LILY, causing her to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Although FURIOUS TERROR made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious BOUNCING BEA. Would you believe that over half of the old women in AMEN-TEI seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city AMEN-TEI. Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in AMEN-TEI. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

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.

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.
