                             Notes from the arena champ.

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

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

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!
