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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WHATCHAMACALLIT 6507 12 1 0 161 BUENO FER NADA (707) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -METHADONE 6394 12 4 0 102 PARANOIA (702) JEANINE 6467 18 21 1 98 TOO GOOD FOR ME (600) KONGA DILLI 6519 12 9 0 98 REFUGEES (377) MURGON 6477 17 20 1 92 REFUGEES (377) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KOREEN 6490 18 14 1 87 REFUGEES (377) DURVAN 6491 16 16 1 85 SAND DANCERS (233) MING THE TERRIBLE 6482 20 14 0 83 SAND DANCERS (233) JESSE TAVAN 6514 14 10 0 69 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DILYS TYL KOGAN 6515 11 11 1 58 SAND DANCERS (233) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHIPP 6516 4 0 0 53 SUPERIOR FORCES 4I (635) -GIZMO 6502 4 0 0 47 BUENO FER NADA (707) DOOHICKEY 6504 6 6 0 44 BUENO FER NADA (707) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KASSELA TYL DRU 6576 2 0 0 23 SAND DANCERS (233) CHURRO THE SPIKE 6554 5 5 0 20 REFUGEES (377) -BACKLASH 6518 1 1 0 20 TOO GOOD FOR ME (600) -THE PERFECT PLAYER 6552 1 0 1 16 CARD SHARKS (712) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DEVILFISH 6551 1 0 0 15 CARD SHARKS (712) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Do I know how to call them or what? -- Doohickey 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! -- Churro the Spike, whose expectations were dashed, simply DASHED 18 March 2004 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. Bookie mgr. of Suicidal Dreams and Director Jhans Board of Tourism kLk Alliance 27 March 2004 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!! 27 March 2004 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. -- Goat 8 April 2004 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. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS THE PROFESSOR was dealt death by DILYS TYL KOGAN in a 1 minute Challenge fight.
