SPY REPORT Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for NIANIA. Too bad, RESURRECTION, but BIG COUNTRY was just too good to be stopped. MVP award for COMEDY? HARLEQUINS' proud of him after beating SMOLT and getting 23 points. Talk about yer major upsets! SMOLT's match with COMEDY cost him a loss of 20 points! Was that a tear I saw in MORADOR's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't BIG RED fit to be tied! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of RESURRECTION must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? I don't know what BIG COUNTRY's been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from RESURRECTION, that's fer sher. Like, is LUBAYA popular, or what? She was challenged the most in all of NIANIA! She's got a 6-5-0, is that good? BETTY must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. She challenged ABALONEA. 8 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought BETTY showed great skill and promise when she defeated ABALONEA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give it a break? 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. NIANIA is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!

Ouch! -- Abalonea P.S. But that's cats for you. Fierce One-Eye -- Yep. -- Yellow Pike, not feeling chatty (hurting too much) Ambitious Guard -- I wish you and your fellows would grasp the simple fact that arena fighting is not at all like fighting in war or in the streets. Not necessarily better, but definitely different. -- Analira Chucky -- Nobody likes hospitals. Do your convalescing at home. -- Nellistha Betty -- Quite likely, but I'll make prettier buttons. -- Abalonea Billy -- Looks like your command not to fight didn't reach the Commission in time. I hope this doesn't through your timing off. Good luck, anyway. -- Nellistha Big Red -- I don't GIVE skills away. There is always a price, and you were not prepared to pay it. -- Venomous Concubine All -- If I seem a little out of it, I'm sorry. I seem to have gotten frustrated. I don't understand some things that happen in Duelmasters. And I don't seem to get the answers. -- Big Country, mgr. Wally The Wacko Lubaya -- I had to try you again. I wanted to see if I learned any special moves. This is my last fight for a while. I'm waiting on some of my buddies to join this arena. -- Billy Nellistha -- You sure know how to rain on a guy's parade. I can't stand to lose. But I guess that is how the apple falls. -- Chucky Jarck -- You gave me another loss. But soon things will change in this arena. But I got to give it to you. You are good. I have everything to last long, handle much and do much. But I guess I lack the teaching skills. -- Sorry Junk Morador -- I have tried a few ways to beat you. But you beat me down really good. Congrats again. I'm just a late bloomer. -- Betty P.S. I hate my manager. He makes me take losses when I should win. But I will see you again. (smile) 19 August 2003 Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari), no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening. While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City. Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they had masks, who cares. Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by pests. Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs. Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed. Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home. So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different. Defenders of Aruak 25 August 2003 To any that care -- The CDC is back; our current roster is: Malaquar -- Minion of Guardian Pip the Troll -- Burly Enforcer Type mouse -- Official Sneaky Bastard Papa Bear -- Elder Statesmen The Sealer says, "Hi, I'm the dealer." Papa Bear says, "It's not my f****n fault." Guardian -- Paper Figurehead LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS BETTY devastated ABALONEA in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.

PINK was overpowered by SORRY JUNK in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight. BIG RED was viciously subdued by MORADOR in a action packed 2 minute gory Title brawl. FIERCE ONE-EYE unbelievably bested KHALHUMS DWARF in a 4 minute master's match. TOOFLESS unbelievably bested SOLITARE in a action packed 4 minute fight. ANALIRA lost to HALF-TIME in a 1 minute duel. SMOLT was vanquished by COMEDY in a action packed 1 minute one-sided duel. NELLISTHA slaughtered CONVICTED THIEF in a 1 minute one-sided fight. MELODY was beaten by TOLDERST in a 2 minute novice's melee. PROWESS was overpowered by BA BAAK in a 1 minute one-sided match.
