The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

"Would I be able to try some of those berries?" Wayne asked tarrax.

Eva looked at Dirah "Dirah is there a reason for all those dinotons freaking out all the time when seeing you or Wayne? it like they class you two as the most important leaders of all times. Even Trin is leaving office. I heard it from a few Dinotons last night" Eva said to Dirah wondering if it was true or not.

Well, the Dragon Lord that ruled Dinoton ages ago was a revered figure and he is indeed considered to be one of Dinoton's greatest leaders ever. To be a Dragon Lord is to be held in respect bordering on awe. I think Stripetail knows the feeling very well, he's probably held in the same regard by the people of Aestorica, but i'm sure he really doesn't like it. For being such a powerful wizard, he's really humble, and in my opinion, that's a good thing" Dirah replied.

"Of Course. By don't eat too many at once. They'll turn your tongue blue foe weeks. " Tarrax said with a smile.

"I'll just try one" Wayne smiled back and ate it "Mmm not bad, but not something you would eat too many of. It like some human food on Earth called sweets some of them you can't eat too many of cause they start to feel sickly after eating so many." Wayne said to Tarrax.

"But the humans on Earth are known for making so many types of choclate and sweets that where all the planets in Tri-Foundation gets them from..." Wayne paused then looked just out the window of the building they was in "Right there across the street the Earth Treat Shop. that will all types of treats made in Earth." Wayne said to Tarrax.

---

"I agree with you there" Eva nods then looked over towards where Wayne was talking with Tarrax. "So now you two being the two new lord and lady Dragons of Dinoton brought those 1 million ear old respect back to life. amazing how something so long time ago that now brought it all back to light" Eva smiled looking back at Dirah

"Not only choclate they have made a sweet that super hot. I think it called Hot stopper. it was made for competetion means. Humans put them in their mouths and stuck the round object that release very hot flavors in their mouths the ones that last the longest wins. and lately this spread to all speices now the Tri-Foundation recoard is 5 minutes and 37 seconds. the Hot Stoppers last by stucking for 15 to 20 minutes but around 5 minutes it gets to some very hot tastes and the human that has the recoard believe it or not couldn't speak for 5 weeks cause of the throat was swallowed... a idiot to others but a brave man to others as well" Wayne said about one sweet that is sold in the shop across the road.

"Yeah I bet. Well I better head to the arena and get ready for my duel. catch you later" Eva said walking out the door to the train station

"Really? I'll try one of those, and you can time me and see how long I can suck on it. I'm a dragon, so I'm used to hot things in my mouth" Tarrax said with a smile.

StRipetail waited at the dueling arena for Eva . he smiled as she came up to him. "You 've got a half-hour before the duel starts. Your Opponent isn't even here yet."

Wayne and Tarrax entered the shop "Wel..." the human stopped looking at them "Dragons? I thought dragons was only mythies... erm sorry..." The human shook his head "Well what could I get you two dragons?"

"Well the Hot Stoppers please. two if possible" Wayne asked.

"Hot Stoppers... jeezs are you sure? those things get really hot and not kidding, but if you like" the human takes out a box from under his desk and opens it "I have about 50 of them that all a small shop can have since these boxes hold the Hot Stoppers keep them super freah and the type of stuff to make the box is super rare so we have to keep these very carefully kepted." the human hands two hot stoppers over and see a gold coin that Tarrax was holding

"You paying for them? you don't have to... even these are hard to get hold of money in the Tri-Foundation has no object anymore only trading for item for item that rare" the human said to Tarrax.

"That new... I am usually here after the other one is here" Eva said with a suprised look on her face.

'alright" Tarrax said, handing the clerk the coin.
_
"Well, as you know many male duelists don't want to face Wayne, and while we've insisted on them playing him, they have been protesting after every match, and the judges have finally had enough. Once the Brackets are complete, if Wayne wins his bracket, then there will be a drawing to determine who plays whom in the quarters. while there hasn't been any similar complaints about you, we've decided that if a drawing is held in the male bracket , then the female bracket will have one too. So you may not play the Bracket E winner Eva if you win the bracket. " Stripetail said as Iris came into the arena.

Eva sighed "All cause Wayne is a Dragon Lord? And I don't know why many don't likw to vs me? I beraly got through the last match" Eva said to Stripetail.

Dinoton walked up to them "Sir we have a problem with the Arena section where the Dragon Lord going to dual in... the problem is that there been a lock down. Someone sealed the arena off to all outside it and a Hyper Train almost hit the closed gate over a track... the Tri-Council is at edge and said that if this continues the male brackets will be forfited" Dinoton warned Stripetail of the action the council will take to protected those that could be harmed.

"It a action they sadly will take because of the risk of lives" Dinoton said to him

Human took the coin "Erm... Thank you, have a nice day" he said as they left the store

Wayne looked at Tarrax "Well like to take a try of the sweet?" Wayne said looking at him

StrIpetail clapped his hands together and the duelists were teleported into the sky Arena. Some were in the middle of dueling others were waiting their turn.  he Then Turned to the Dinoton. "Until the Problem with the Ice Arena is fixed, there will be no dueling in that arena. This will force us to move baxck matches, buut hey considering the delays we've already endured in the tournament this is nothing. and no trains will be allowed to go to the arena until the incident is completely investigated. We don't want any accidents.Tell the Council we're working on the problems as best we can, we understand they are concerned about the safety of the duelists and those in attendance."

The Dinoton nodded and walked away. Stripetail then turned to Eva. "Eva having a drawing in the Female bracket is not due to opponents not wanting to face you, not one of your opponents has complained about you, on the contrary, they have had nothing but positive things to say about you. No the judges merely decided that if the male bracket has a drawing, then the female will have one as well. They were fed up with all the complaing about wayne, if there are any more complaints about Wayne, they'll start docking points from complainers even before the matches start. ' Stripetail said in a stern voice.

"I see... I only hope everything goes fine down with the male brackets... they really acting a bit childish" Eva said to Stripetail "taking actions like this to not dual him... What happened to the mood of having a great time" Eva said sadly.
