                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, well, well.  Mr Unbeatable returns to the top spot by beating...who?  Say it
louder, please?!?  Yes!  By beating REDD!!!  I must say that beating you on your
final run here in Lin Tirian was a very pleasant experience.  You won 3 out of our 5
fights, handing me my ONLY losses here in Lin Tirian (to date).  Congratulations on
your invitation to the Isle.  Two more fights and I shall join you there, hopefully
with a 17-3 record.  *grin*

Oh, frabjous day!  Not only does my team go 3-0, but we snag six awards, too!  Not
only that, *I* get FOUR of them!!  All I can say is that there is no justice, as I am
only one of two warriors able to take advantage of this opportunity, as the remainder
of my teammates are timed for tourneys.

Swords High!

Your Duelmaster,
Aiden

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of LIN 
TIRIAN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, THE LEGENDS, since SAND 
DANCERS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're 
all terribly impressed to see SHANA THE KNIFE win a fight and gain 13 points, 
terribly.  And if variety is the spice of life, LIN TIRIAN may be getting bland, as 
AIDEN stays top dog in the city.  The Lost Hope Inn, humph!  I've tasted better ale 
at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From LIN TIRIAN's trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  THE 
LEGENDS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.  
Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And who led the way in this mass act of 
cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was LETHAL HERITAGE.  Ha ha ha ha!  
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, MIRIAL STEEL was this turn's most challenged warrior. 
Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  I notice VLAD challenging down 18 points to fight 
MIRIAL STEEL, LETHAL HERITAGE doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to 
honor.  This is the sort of thing that makes the price of admission to LIN TIRIAN's 
games worth it!  VLAD was overcame by MIRIAL STEEL!!   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only 
shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     There's got to be a better place in LIN TIRIAN to get a drink than The Lost Hope 
Inn!  Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! 
So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this 
winter-- Snide Clemens

Sand Dancers -- Deja vu! -- Lethal Heritage

LP James -- Yeah, but I showed him on his last time here! -- Aiden

Frank -- Perhaps, but to be honest, I'm timed for the Face a bit too early to take
advantage of the 'rivalry'.  *pout*  You'll probably be kicking Vlad's butt soon
enough.  Talk about an easy opponent! -- Saganami

Saganami -- Bite me. -- Vlad

Clint -- Did you enjoy the rematch as much as I did?  *evil grin* -- Vlad

LP Redd -- Glad we could oblige! -- Lord Xiang

Chalbaeg -- Not too shabby.  We could have taught each other better, though. --
Saganami

Vlad -- (re a turn back (hey, I was on vacation!))  (shudder)  Yeah, I know.  She was
a basher in her day, with four kills, and she never lets us forget it. -- Jigger Kree

Venomous Concubine?  And she BIT me!  This is disgusting. -- Jigger Kree

Sammy -- (sigh)  Howdy...stranger. -- Mirial Steel

Dean -- It's a learning experience.  Everybody needs those. -- Shana the Knife

Saganami -- Damned upstart. -- Chalbaeg

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

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!

     The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
     From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance.  With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger.  Let all his foes become ours, and ours his.  May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
     This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc....  If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
