This should be my Turn to Graduate if all goes well. The View from the Top is Wonderful and many thanks to all those who made this experience so enjoyable! Especially that foolish man EAGLE KEYS who was in such a hurry to take my place! MADKAWRAW'S LAW SPY REPORT The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DRAGONHEAD, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing is certain in DRAGONHEAD, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--MILCHAMAH. Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as MILCHAMAH can attest... I doubt many are quaking in their boots, but SUE'S BOYS comes out of nowhere to get 2-1-0. What does the future hold? Watch this space... MILCHAMAH had cause to celebrate, after DEADLY MADKAWRAW got 20 points by beating GOAT. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, DEADLY MADKAWRAW was winsome, after beating GOAT and seeing him lose 19 points. Like a flirtacious debutante, DRAGONHEAD's Duelmaster MADKAWRAW'S LAW found herself the woman of the hour, being "invited to dance" 2 times! The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as SOURDOUGH faced DRAGONHEAD's Duelmaster. MADKAWRAW'S LAW successfully staved off a grab for the roses by SOURDOUGH of BREAD. Does DRAGONHEAD have no one talented enough to dethrone her? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... And how sociable are DRAGONHEAD's warriors? Come, let us see. Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in DRAGONHEAD avoid FEARSOME LEGENDS. The warriors of FEARSOME LEGENDS found their efforts at combat frustrated as BREAD apparently had more important things to do than fight. The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee. All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for DRAGONHEAD?

Onward to glory!!! -- Dark knight Blackstorm 1 July 2006 Soultaker -- Read your e-mail! -- Guardian 10 July 2006 The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark Knight. AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA CARTEL. The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat, Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great 14 July 2006 In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers the following response: The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28, 31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads, pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
