SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in OSKSI this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for UNBELIZEABLE, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into
9th. And let's see, MARY RETZLAFF fought THOR and gained 24 points and contributed
to AMERICAN APPRAISAL's 3-2-0. THOR has lost to MARY RETZLAFF, falling 22 points,
while helping make AESIR a 2-3-0 turn. This turn SANDMAN challenged GO FISH in what
was OSKSI's Title bout. Defending his title for another turn, SANDMAN kept GAMES
LIBRARY's warrior, GO FISH, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I
have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Elefont uses trolls in their stew.
Talk about gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. AESIR has cause to stand tall, as they were
OSKSI's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess
who avoided AESIR stable the most? Believe it or not, it was SIMPLY DESSERTS.
Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was GAMES LIBRARY's warrior
GO FISH. More fighters challenged it than challenged the Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Is it really true that OSKSI has
more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Sandman -- You wretch! You thought you'd WEAR ME DOWN, didn't you? Just WAIT till
you see how those cards self-destruct in the next five minutes! -- Go Fish
P.S. If you have never encountered a fish in the later stages of its life on land,
you have a memorable experience ahead of you.
Thor -- (faintly) How appropriate. -- SimEarth, rethinking certain points of divine
evolution
Sand Crabs -- You PINCHED me! That is... Not Hoyle
Wolf Spider -- Euwh! I don't want a big, hairy, eight-legged CREATURE from the Black
Dune coming after me! -- The Goalie, who did not sign on for spiders
Putt Putt -- (smugly) You're not supposed to try to go through the spaces. On MY
charts, you follow the LINES. -- Graph
Assur -- What do you think of the morning star as a bashing weapon? I just graduated
a basher with MS favorite (and mod/very low for rhythm), and I'm curious. Should she
be insulted? -- Nick
P.S. Favorite learn was riposte, can you riposte with a morning star? This sounds
very strange.
Assur -- (bows) -- Go Fish
Sandman -- Congratulations. -- Games Library
31 October 2003
Come one, come all, to the greatest contest in Alastari! The Third Annual Turf
War will be in North Fork (DM 47) starting in about 6-7 turns.... C'mon and get your
team some experience, and get declared!
More info available in North Fork's newsletter.
Bloody Sands. -- Asmo Dius, TCB
13 November 2003
Let it be known far and wide, that the Warrior TUM 18-7380, the Champions Runner-Up
for the recent Tournament, is managed by none other than Shocking Toad. I named this
fabulous warrior after my friend and mentor, TUM, a.k.a. Don! Sorry TUM didn't get
me my first TC; however, a runner-up with all those sandbaggers is pretty impressive,
if I do say so myself. -- Shocking Toad, The Manager
13 November 2003
All -- This is to announce that I am no longer a member of the Vendetta Cartel
Alliance. I have enjoyed my time there, and I've made some great friends. Their
company will be missed, but they will endure. I wish them well. -- Apex
