Another fine day, another easy win.  Jeanine, you were a dear as always.  Thanks for
the skills and the win.  I must ask you to wait 3 more turns before you sit here.
Well, Murgon?  Will I face you or the inconstant Methadone next turn?  I hope I win
quickly either way....

Whatchamacallit

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in DAL SHANG a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. 
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  The REFUGEES guild has had a 3-1-0 
turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of 
thing can lead.  And let's see, CHIPP fought DOOHICKEY and gained 19 points and 
contributed to SUPERIOR FORCES 4I's 1-0-0.  JESSE TAVAN has lost to JEANINE, falling 
7 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a 4-1-1 turn.  The attempts to dethrone the 
Duelmaster have failed, and WHATCHAMACALLIT remains DAL SHANG's top warrior for 
another turn.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their 
losing fighters do dishes at The Blazing Unicorn until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the SUPERIOR FORCES 
4I stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on DAL SHANG, what are you 
afraid of?  And guess who avoided SUPERIOR FORCES 4I stable the most?  Believe it or 
not, it was BUENO FER NADA.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn 
was SAND DANCERS' warrior DILYS TYL KOGAN.  More fighters challenged her than 
challenged the Duelmaster!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  THE PROFESSOR has departed DAL SHANG, leaving CARD SHARKS without 
their 5-4-1 warrior.  Question, just what was his team doing at the taverns last 
night?  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.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAL SHANG and I've a long road ahead of 
me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the 
Scribe

Koreen -- Whoa, are you ever improved over how you used to be.  Nice! -- Doohickey

Lani -- Yeah, pretty dead around here.  Maybe the commish could steer some newbies
this way? -- Darkfist

The Professor -- I almost don't mind you winning because of you being a real warrior.
Everybody else on our team fought standbys, which is RIDICULOUS. -- Dilys tyl Kogan

Doohickey -- Have y'all had a Gizmo and a Widget yet? -- Koreen

Chip -- I don't believe it.  You CAN'T be a Superior Forces warrior.  It's UNFAIR! --

St. Valentine's Day Massacre Update

     We are pleased to announce that the kLk sponsored St. Valentine's Day Massacre
kill contest in DM 36 is off to a great start.  We are also pleased to announce that
in addition to the 10 team rollups we are also able to offer the renaming of a dark
arena warrior as a prize to the manager with the most kills.  The contest is only 2
turns old and is still wide open.  There are currently 5 managers tied with one kill
each.  Anything can still happen so hurry up and get into the arena.
     On a personal note, no other alliances have entered the arena in force to
challenge the kLk dominance.  We were expecting The Firm to put up a fight for their
supposed home arena.  But, they were a no show.  Guess they proved what they are
really made of.  *evil grin*
     Perhaps another alliance would like to step in to give us a challenge.  We are
throwing down the gauntlet.  Perhaps the Chaos Inc. boys I keep hearing about would
like to step in and challenge the kLk for arena dominance.  If you don't show up,
Chaos, don't feel bad.  FAR better managers than you have been invited into Jhans but
have chosen to pass on the offer.
     So if you consider yourself worthy to compete, like fierce competition, and
enjoy arenas where the personals are as fierce as the fighting, come visit JHANS DM
36.  We're already planning our next contest, "Capture the Flag," and have a
storyline being actively worked on in the arena.  Whatever you like about DM you can
find it in JHANS.

     This notice is to inform the DM world that CHAOS INC. has added CHEETO to its
ranks.  He joins APEX, FLAGG, MATRIX, ASSAMITE, and RUDE BUDDHA as the 6th member.
May your chaotic wings spread disaster and CHAOS for all your days!  Welcome CHEETO!!

     Has anyone seen it in print that the "Goat" is leaving the "Cartel"?  There were
some diplos to the effect of a special branch of the Cartel being formed, like secret
societies, governmental agencies and alliances certain agendas are developed.  To
obtain the desired effect of any agenda only key personnel can be used.  The "Goat"
is "Cartel" so until you see it with me announcing that I am not Cartel, remember,
"The Agenda of the Core is for you to fight for."  I hope this stops the confusion.

CLICK (KLK) -- Remember, you asked for it.  Chaos is coming....

14 April 2004
CHAOS Inc. proudly announces our newest member, Silver Stroke.  He becomes the
seventh brother of Chaos.  We shall indeed be better for his joining.
