My special thanks to EAGLE KEYS whose defeat made it possible for me to ascend to the throne and enjoy the View from the Top here in DragonHead Arena! Since Hammer has me running on maintenance, we will just have to wait and see who my next opponent for defending the throne shall be! MADKAWRAW'S LAW SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly DRAGONHEAD games. Former top team FEARSOME LEGENDS was unseated this week as OUTLAWS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-0 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon WIND STORM this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 12th position in the wake of a 0-0-0 round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week DEADLY RAGE went 1-0-0 to move up 4 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 5-0-1 record which ANCIENT KNIGHTS managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! CYOLIS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested 2 PHAT 2 and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CRYBABY put down THE TRUNK MONKEY, causing him to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. This time out LORD EARL GREY made his bid for the throne as he challenged MADKAWRAW'S LAW in an all out contest of skill for possession of the title! Although LORD EARL GREY made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious MADKAWRAW'S LAW. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in DRAGONHEAD these days is MILCHAMAH. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding MILCHAMAH. Indeed it was BREAD. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after 2 PHAT 2. Watch your back! I can not but mention with disdain the name of SOURDOUGH who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 14 points below in the rankings. I thought SOURDOUGH showed great skill and promise when he was subdued by EAGLE KEYS. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? 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! The girls are as pretty in DRAGONHEAD as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MADKAWRAW'S LAW 6029 16 17 1 105 MILCHAMAH (663) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EAGLE KEYS 4585 12 22 0 92 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LORD EARL GREY 4546 13 14 1 90 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) CYOLIS 5311 13 7 1 82 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) SOURDOUGH 5913 12 12 1 82 BREAD (653) 2 PHAT 2 5470 10 14 0 76 VERMIN (165) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ANDERON 5260 11 10 0 71 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -LEPER MESSIAH 3954 6 2 1 66 DEADLY RAGE (158) MEGINNAW'S RULE 6035 13 12 0 63 MILCHAMAH (663) CRYBABY 5853 6 5 0 61 OUTLAWS (643) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -PORKY PIG 5953 5 1 1 45 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) -HOCKEY 5461 4 1 0 45 SPORTS CRIP PLAYS (590) ARTEMI 5515 6 5 0 43 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) -BASEBALL 5460 4 3 1 40 SPORTS CRIP PLAYS (590) -SILENCEOFTHELAMBCHOP 5951 4 2 0 40 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) ILL NINO 4974 3 1 0 40 DEADLY RAGE (158) MERLIN 5776 6 3 1 39 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) -RABID RABBIT 2317 8 8 0 38 VERMIN (165) THE TRUNK MONKEY 5775 7 2 0 36 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) -DON CORNBEEFLEON 5949 4 2 1 34 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -HAMMY HAMSTER 5950 4 2 0 33 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) GOAT 6080 3 1 0 30 OUTLAWS (643) ARDASHIR 5539 5 8 2 29 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) COPYCAT 5854 5 8 0 29 OUTLAWS (643) UGLI 5785 2 0 1 29 ORC EMPIRE (603) ORC LEGIONNAIRE 5552 2 0 0 28 ORC EMPIRE (603) JACK SPARROW 5700 5 3 3 26 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) -SLO-PITCH 5815 4 1 0 25 SPORTS CRIP PLAYS (590) LADY SARINA 5773 4 5 1 24 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KATSUMOTO 5942 2 3 0 23 SACRED REALM (506) MARWAN 6082 2 2 0 23 SACRED REALM (506) YONDU 6091 2 0 0 23 OUTLAWS (643) -SOCCER 5459 3 4 0 22 SPORTS CRIP PLAYS (590) DANTE 4541 2 1 1 22 VALAMOND'S FORCES (504) CAPT ANTILLES 6086 2 0 0 22 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) WINSTON 6085 2 0 0 22 SACRED REALM (506) CEELIN 6087 1 2 0 22 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) GRUMPY OLD BAT 4578 4 8 0 21 SACRED REALM (506) -DILLON 6044 2 0 0 21 WIND STORM (160) DESTINED 2 DIE 5786 1 1 0 21 ORC EMPIRE (603) DEADLY MADKAWRAW 6056 3 3 0 19 MILCHAMAH (663) ANDAR 5774 4 5 1 18 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) MOOL REGENERATED 6060 3 2 2 17 MILCHAMAH (663) -KRYSTYL 6042 2 0 0 17 VORTEX (661) -CHICKER S#!^ 5952 3 3 0 16 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) WELUB 5890 1 0 0 16 ORC EMPIRE (603) -SQUASH 5458 4 2 0 14 SPORTS CRIP PLAYS (590) -WHOLE WHEAT 5914 2 0 0 13 BREAD (653) GENERAL RAY 6113 1 0 0 13 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) NEGHED 5891 1 0 0 13 ORC EMPIRE (603) LORD STANLEY 5916 2 4 1 11 SACRED REALM (506) -SWEET REVENGE 2094 2 2 0 9 WIND STORM (160) JEREMIAH 4540 1 2 0 5 VALAMOND'S FORCES (504) -LEON 4539 0 1 0 1 VALAMOND'S FORCES (504) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

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!
