                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  SIMTAKKA needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Too bad, CORPORATE 
ENTITY, but SAND DANCERS was just too good to be stopped.  MVP award for UNDERTOW?  
DEATH THREAT's proud of him after beating OTANA VARHIL and getting 13 points.  Talk 
about yer major upsets!  OTANA VARHIL's match with UNDERTOW cost her a loss of 4 
points!  What a putz!  GOLD RUSH fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting 
and loses the title.  No one said he was a genius...  And I was just getting used to 
the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome TIRYA.  Aren't SAND DANCERS 
proud.  (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours 
sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Hey you guys, don't you think your 
families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I gotta leave.  SIMTAKKA is like such a dump, and you guys 
smell too much!  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby 
Tonte

Gold Rush -- I agree, it is sad to see this place closing down.  Unlike you Corporate 
Entities, we are going to continue fighting, and it seems that Ardivent is the 
selected venue.  Perhaps you can come and visit us there? -- Sitha

Blue Light Special -- But you are special, when all is said and done. -- Aldena Rose

Gold Rush -- So much for me being an eager beaver, huh?  My thanks for a few more 
skills to take with me.  I hear that Ardivent is a fierce place.  "Red sands."  
Scary. -- Tirya

Mira Sinclair -- So I asked you for a date.  Is that any reason to get all MEAN with 
me? -- Velendeis

And three standbys.  (sigh) -- Sitha

8 April 2002
Managers of the Aimed Blow style -- I will be hosting the LIRIN KIV AIMED BLOW 
CHALLENGE 2002 in glorious Lirin Kiv (if there is any interest.)  This challenge will 
begin on turn #196 and will run for 10 turns.  On turns 196-200, entered AB's MAY use 
weapons.  On turns 200-205 entered AB's MAY NOT use weapons.  Check the Lirin Kiv 
(ADM 107) newsletter for the point system and other information.  Warriors entering 
the challenge must be declared in the personal ads.  Think about reactivating and 
migrating your AB's to Lirin Kiv.  Let the challenge begin! -- The Icelord

12 April 2002
Fellow Andorian managers, we are saddened to see twenty arenas closing, ten of them 
Andorian.  We understand RSI's problem, we understand the problem of players who are 
spread as far as they reasonably can spread themselves, we understand the grief at 
seeing some favored arena closing down.  A concerted effort might save one or two of 
the arenas on the list from closing, but we cannot save them all.  If we try, we will 
lose them all.  Let us pick some one or two arenas to concentrate our efforts on.  I 
respectfully submit Ardivent, DM 46, as an arena worthy of our best efforts.  Though 
it has been small for some time, it has never been so small that it missed turns, as 
some on the list have done, and it has never lacked for involved managers.  There 
just haven't been quite enough of them.  Rather than dispersing and wasting our 
efforts trying to save half a dozen of the Andorian arenas on the list, I suggest we 
concentrate on this one. -- Master Cho, Bluvalley Warriors, Ardivent DM 46

20 April 2002
All mgrs. -- So your arena is closing.  I invite you to move to Lyratilan, Arena 25.  
There is room for good teams to join our ranks.  If you have chuptza and moxy, then 
we want you. -- Laldakarin, mgr. of The Grym Ones, owner/operator of the Mourngrym 
Inn and Tavern

20 April 2002
Attention:  Luke In Montana.  "Hey Wood, I lost your address.  Send me a diplo with 
all of your info." -- Heathen, mgr. Odin's Chosen (419) DM 11
P.S.  Where are you active?
