Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! The boys at MILCHAMAH left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by TWISTED SISTERS. Good show! Those betting on VERMIN lost their shirt, as VERMIN lost their fighting abilities: 0-1-0. What's a move up by 3 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to SACRED REALM. Good things come to those who fight well, as TWISTED SISTERS can attest, moving up by 1. ANCIENT KNIGHTS had cause to celebrate, after CAPT ANTILLES got 24 points by beating DANGEROUS CRIMINAL. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, CAPTURED ORC was winsome, after beating LADY SARINA and seeing her lose 10 points. Duelmaster MINDQUAKE from TWISTED SISTERS is going for the gold, as she challenged VERMIN's 2 PHAT 2. Ooh, the excitement! Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by 2 PHAT 2, of VERMIN, who despite a 14-16-0 couldn't overcome DRAGONHEAD's Number 1. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. 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 MILCHAMAH. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, SACRED REALM scurried away from MILCHAMAH. Oh, the shame! If challenges were horses, 2 PHAT 2 could open up a fast food joint! The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Justice was served as IRON BITCH fought MERLIN in bloodfeud. Well done, TWISTED SISTERS! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DRAGONHEAD farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MINDQUAKE 5861 15 9 0 109 TWISTED SISTERS (644) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BAMBOO 6146 13 10 3 92 SAMURAI KIDS II (674) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LORD EARL GREY 4546 14 15 1 84 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) -EAGLE KEYS 4585 12 23 0 84 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) -CRYBABY 5853 9 6 0 84 OUTLAWS (643) -CYOLIS 5311 13 7 1 82 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) -MEGINNAW'S RULE 6035 17 13 0 76 MILCHAMAH (663) IRON BITCH 5859 12 13 1 75 TWISTED SISTERS (644) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ARTEMI 5515 8 5 0 63 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) ANDERON 5260 12 11 0 60 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KATSUMOTO 5942 5 3 0 54 SACRED REALM (506) JACK SPARROW 5700 7 3 5 53 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) MERLIN 5776 8 4 2 51 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) -YONDU 6091 5 0 0 50 OUTLAWS (643) ARDASHIR 5539 7 8 2 49 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) -COPYCAT 5854 7 9 1 49 OUTLAWS (643) THE TRUNK MONKEY 5775 9 3 0 48 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) ANDAR 5774 7 5 1 48 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) CAPT ANTILLES 6086 4 0 1 48 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) ORC LEGIONNAIRE 5552 3 0 0 47 ORC EMPIRE (603) MARWAN 6082 4 3 0 45 SACRED REALM (506) LADY SARINA 5773 6 6 1 39 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) -RABID RABBIT 2317 8 8 0 38 VERMIN (165) CEELIN 6087 3 2 0 37 ANCIENT KNIGHTS (507) GIGGLY JANE 5939 9 5 0 36 TWISTED SISTERS (644) WINSTON 6085 4 1 0 35 SACRED REALM (506) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -UGLI 5785 2 0 1 29 ORC EMPIRE (603) LORD STANLEY 5916 3 6 1 28 SACRED REALM (506) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MADKAWRAW REBORN 6135 4 1 0 27 MILCHAMAH (663) GRUMPY OLD BAT 4578 5 10 0 26 SACRED REALM (506) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MOOL REGENERATED 6060 5 5 3 23 MILCHAMAH (663) -ZAZEN 6182 4 3 0 23 SAMURAI KIDS II (674) DAIN 6136 2 0 1 23 FEARSOME LEGENDS (505) -DESTINED 2 DIE 5786 1 1 0 21 ORC EMPIRE (603) PSYCHOBITCH 6187 1 0 0 20 TWISTED SISTERS (644) -WELUB 5890 1 0 0 16 ORC EMPIRE (603) -WHOLE WHEAT 5914 2 0 0 13 BREAD (653) -NEGHED 5891 1 0 0 13 ORC EMPIRE (603) -GOAT 6080 3 3 0 12 OUTLAWS (643) GENERAL RAY 6113 2 2 0 8 BARBARIAN HORDE (637) -DOKUEKI 6184 1 1 0 4 SAMURAI KIDS II (674) -WARLOCK 6137 0 2 0 2 OUTLAWS (643) IRON BUTTERFLY 6188 0 1 0 2 TWISTED SISTERS (644) -PANDA 6185 0 1 0 1 SAMURAI KIDS II (674) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

The group consists of the following members: Doc LeGrande Apex Street Legal Carnage Ghoti Roadkill Valamond This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched. Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land. We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land. Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are. 20 October 2006 The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light: Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52, REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire 2 November 2006 I received a Gift Certificate from someone. I'm assuming it's for entry into the Turf War 5. Whoever sent this to me...please email me at rbaphomets@yahoo.com. Thanks.
