Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, MIGHTY DUCKS has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for UGLY DUCKING, who flew up 24 points in the rankings after mashing HEMORRHAGE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was HEMORRHAGE, who dropped 21 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with UGLY DUCKING. Unlike most arenas, DARK WING managed to get his challenge off against the 22-23-1 DAKORIL. It's a proud day for the REFUGEES stable, as their warrior, DAKORIL, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the DAL SHANG arena. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad POSSE? Big bad POSSE. Big bad POSSE. DAL SHANG's afraid of the big bad POSSE. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS beats feet every time POSSE smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this DAKORIL you ask, with 109 points and a 23-23-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Getting lots of flowers from sympathetic fans was KO LAO-DEN, who was successfully challenged by VIRGINIA, NO SANTA who had a mere 76 points more than KO LAO-DEN. Definition of petty: VIRGINIA, NO SANTA beat KO LAO-DEN, a mismatch of 76 points. Can any one out there say 'weasel'? Oh well, just saying 5 GOLDEN WARRIORS will do. He challenged 65 points down to trash TEBAS TEN KOGAN. Definition of petty: 5 GOLDEN WARRIORS beat TEBAS TEN KOGAN, a mismatch of 65 points. Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? Well, there's the manager of the DAL SHANG giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DAKORIL 6596 23 23 1 109 REFUGEES (377) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VIRGINIA, NO SANTA 6623 18 2 0 170 GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS (717) 5 GOLDEN WARRIORS 6624 19 1 1 160 GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS (717) L.A.

I'm just about ready to have my guys face off against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or something...hmmmm, there's a thought. 3 May 2006 All -- I've seen what's on the forum. So I'm prey, am I, Max. You and all your devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay. I don't have to explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on. Feel free to come over to 31 for a thrashing. Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance. They tend to share my sentiments about the VC. If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at liberty to talk for them. The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm 6 May 2006 The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start! With seventeen teams declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non- Olympic teams present), it is looking to be as tough as any previous Olympiad, if not more! Olympians petitioned the Commission to make an allowance for late entries, and the Commission agreed, and will allow new entrants to partake, as long as they are active by Round 3 (T546, due May 29th). So if you wish to enter, please email your intentions to amicitia@gwi.net with team name, manager name, and affiliation (alliance name or independent), or show up in Mordant (DM-1) on, or before, May 29th and place your declarations in the newsletter!
