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?  On that giddy 
note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Madkawraw's Law -- Well, against my better judgement, I'm sending Sourdough out to
meet you.  I don't like the matchup, but I want the throne and you don't need it next
turn.  As Wayne Gretzky said:
        "You miss 100% of the shots you never take."
So here comes my shot. -- Assur
P.S.  Please be gentle.

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.
