SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for OSKSI. MVP award for DIANE MACK?
AMERICAN APPRAISAL's proud of her after beating DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and getting 20
points. Talk about yer big time losers! A. COLMES got smashed by DEWEY, and lost 2
points! The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause he's Number One! DAT NGUYEN
knows this. He was challenged by the Duelmaster. Don't you think the Duelmaster is
being unfair? I think LEFTISTS BLOW should let DAT NGUYEN be Duelmaster for a while,
without fighting about it. Who was the wiseguy that said OSKSI's Duelmaster was
paying for drinks at The Elefont? Don't look at me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. BOMBAY BUMBLE
BEES was OSKSI's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind
of warriors are THE CONFUSED? BOMBAY BUMBLE BEES, an easy team to beat if I ever saw
one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can GAMES LIBRARY's JOKER be more
popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? Some
fights are really unfair. How do you think JOKER feels about being challenged by
BOOKIE, 31 points above him? BOOKIE beat JOKER. No surprise about that. Really I'm
not surprised BOOKIE would do such a scummy thing, either.
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. OSKSI is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! I had
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Papa Bear -- Nice to hear from an aged manager such as yourself; you do me honor by
addressing me. I've considered your words, and, knowing I am not an overly creative
person I've taken your advice. Please witness the new member of my team. Rather
than use the first initial of the culprit I shall provide colorful adjectives prior
to the surname. Appreciate your advice. -- Shocking Toad, the Manager
Leftists Blow -- Ah, the relief of not having to write a duel-too's column! Thank
you. -- Graph
P.S. Once you get a bit older, you will realize that EVERYBODY blows, sometimes.
Handedness has nothing to do with it. It's part of the human condition and makes me
very glad I'm a golem!
Pete Harnisch -- Ah, the problems, the weighty questions.... Do you go in the 900s
for travel, biography, and history, or in the 500s for sciences and natural history?
Or, for that matter, in the 600s with craft and technology, under apiculture? I will
give this serious thought. -- Dewey
Bud Smith -- That was unacceptable. After I loom over you with my accusing mien
(that's why I'm so tall, so I can loom better), you're supposed to wilt and humbly
promise to mend your ways. Do it properly! You're most recent effort was... Not
Hoyle!
Bruenor -- Okay, you finally got one past me, but I gave you a run for your money,
didn't I? Tell Nick I should get a raise. -- The Goalie
The Embezzling Scribe is a GOLEM? A COMPUTER? We really ARE in trouble, then. And,
of course, that explains why I couldn't defeat it. Computers fall under the heading
of "something else entirely." A human embezzler I could have dealt with. Easily. --
Joker
Dreubra -- (with considerable pride) Yeah, it does, doesn't it? It isn't every
warrior who is so well known to the fans. -- Not Hoyle
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!
