SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, NIANIA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but
don't get cocky, BIG COUNTRY, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of
course, we're all terribly impressed to see PROWESS win a fight and gain 19 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, TALON beat PIP and PIP lost 19 points. You're breakin' my
heart. Looks like NIANIA has some guts at least, TOOFLESS the Duelmaster was this
turn's most-challenged warrior. JARCK challenged NIANIA's Duelmaster for a shot at
the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as
TOOFLESS stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how
else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. NIANIA,
I am losing what little hope I had in you. RESURRECTION the most avoided team? What
insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like BIG COUNTRY avoided them the
most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Looks like
time for laurels or hemlock, NELLISTHA was challenged by OOZE-O, who was ranked 31
points below her. And, oof! OOZE-O saw stars around its helmet, after losing the
fight, and disappointing the crowds, I might add. I guess I can give a little credit
to SORRY JUNK of BIG COUNTRY for challenging up by 18 to ANALIRA. SORRY JUNK won to
get 105 points of recognition. And we have BRUTUS in a challenge, going down 8
points for the fight. Guess what? I thought BRUTUS showed great skill and promise
when he beat XENOTH CLY. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
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. We're all going to die in the end, so why
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
What does the NIANIA arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Wally -- I'll get back to you. Haven't had a chance but I haven't forgotten you. --
Shocking Toad
Lubaya -- Yes, they do! -- Prowess, not quite up to the task
P.S. Your eye shadow distracted me.
The Ice Man -- I'd be willing, but unfortunately unable to proxy. Hope you did well.
-- Sultan, mgr. of Knot Whole
Yellow Pike -- Sorry about your luck. But you got in my way. My manager says to
just fight and not look back. Tough break for you. -- Billy
Nellistha -- I guess you were a victim of Sorry Junk huh? But don't worry I like
Abalonea a lot better. But I did enjoy whipping your butt. -- Sorry Junk
P.S. Hopefully one day my name will be changed to Billy Joel, not that is a good
name.
Xenoth Cly -- Yeah I got you. But you know, one thing you really aren't the enemy
here. I just can't get my manager to convince yours to do the right thing. I will
get better as I go along. Right now I'm still green behind the ears. -- Brutus
Anaura -- Well, well what did I do wrong. Damn I hate it when I lose. My manager
gets us to do extra chores. That sucks. I just have to congratulate you on your
nice win. Well, till we meet again. -- Betty
Mordant Deserter -- You really suck to let a young girl beat you. I just turned 20
and I beat you silly. I have blonde hair, blue eyes and the rest of a 10. -- Lou-Lou
P.S. But I'm a pure country girl.
P.P.S. I don't like city boys.

All Readers -- Due to the pressures resulting from preparing for and dealing with the
Face to Face, no spotlights will be written until it's over. -- the Scribe
17 July 2004
I am currently trying to put together a favorites chart for AD warriors. I
desperately need help with this. What I need are style, favorite rhythm (ex.:
hi/low), favorite weapons, and tactics. What would be great is if you could send me
a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out. This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior. Minis will work, too!
For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart. There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to: Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork. (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.) Thanks!
