SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of NIANIA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see DIVINE ASSASSIN win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, GENDER BENDER beat COTTON CANDY and COTTON CANDY lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as PAUL ATREIDES 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. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PAUL ATREIDES 5393 11 6 0 116 MASTERS OF SAND (636) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PITER DEVRIES 5392 11 6 0 99 MASTERS OF SAND (636) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SCURVY LAD 5366 7 2 0 81 SEA DOGS (633) EDWARD O'HARE 5461 8 4 0 70 MEDAL OF HONOR A1 (646) HAND OF GOD 5466 7 4 0 69 TEAM HAVOK (645) KEY LIME 5444 6 4 0 68 SWEETS (643) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KORONEDUS 5430 13 13 0 52 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) DOLOVOR 5484 7 3 0 50 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) SAROVOND 5483 6 4 1 46 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) HAND OF HELL 5456 7 9 1 35 TEAM HAVOK (645) YUKIO OKUTSU 5460 6 6 1 35 MEDAL OF HONOR A1 (646) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HAROLUE 5464 6 8 1 28 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GALLORDIN 5486 3 4 0 19 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) PECAN PIE 5495 1 1 1 19 SWEETS (643) GENDER BENDER 5497 2 0 0 15 TEAM HAVOK (645) DIVINE ASSASSIN 5499 1 0 0 13 TEAM HAVOK (645) COTTON CANDY 5491 1 2 0 7 SWEETS (643) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I can deal with that, especially since I now have my own proper race back. I hated being a werecat, when I'm actually Karragit. It gave me the existential shivers. -- Sarovond P.S. Although I suppose the shivers could be due to the weather.... Edward O'Hare -- Run, rabbit. Or do you fly in and out of the onion place? At times, I find humans rather confusing. -- Koronedus Ah, yes, that six-foot-two dwarf, the Dangerous Criminal. Do you suppose he's a being who couldn't pass up a vertical challenge? -- Dolovor Yukio Okutsu -- Hmm, you got your proper race back, too. So whatever went weird is going straight again, but still, I can't help wondering why it happened and whether it will happen again. -- Harolue Embezzling Scribe? Bah, I eat the likes of him for breakfast. -- Gallordin P.S. Not LITERALLY. I'm no cannibal. All -- We were going to do personals, having achieved the critical mass of five standbys fighting, but we can't get someone to write them down this week. So consider that you have all been communicated with in some appropriate way, and we will consider that you have communicated something back. -- Moro Salleshi, Guardsman First Class 23 October 2007 ****************************************** ****************************************** ***** ******* ***** STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 3 ******* ***** ******* ****************************************** ****************************************** 9 TEAM (18 MANAGERS) have declared for the STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 3!!!
