SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. OSKSI needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Like, OUR HIGHEST HONOR
had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT! Way
to go FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT! What was the name of that team who got 4-1-0 this turn for
a total 134-88-6 you ask? (Sure) FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT's their name, and fighting's
their game! MVP award for SOLDIER #4? OUR HIGHEST HONOR's proud of him after
beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and getting 20 points. Talk about yer major upsets!
BRUENOR's match with GOMER cost him a loss of 8 points! Was that a tear I saw in
DEWEY's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't CARROT fit to be tied! Who
was the wiseguy that said OSKSI's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Elefont?
Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? AESIR was the most avoided team.
Is a 596-588-42 record really that scary? I don't know what FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT's
been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from AESIR, that's fer
sher. Like, is THE GOALIE popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of
OSKSI! He's got a 9-39-0, is that good? Ooh! Did SQUASH really know what he was
doing when he challenged THE GOALIE? A 9-4-0 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I
don't know what it means.) What did SQUASH expect, anyway! Of course THE GOALIE won.
Next time stick to people you have a chance against, dummy! SOLDIER #3 must not be a
good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged JOKER. 14 is a big
difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought SOLDIER #3 showed great
skill and promise when he bested JOKER. 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? Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!! AEGIS returns from the Dark Arena,
maybe a "little upset" at his AESIR teammates... What if they had a fight and nobody
showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. I had
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Carrot -- It's okay. No one really expects a carrot to have warrior qualities.
You're a vegetable (should you be in the 580s for botany, or somewhere in the 600s
for agriculture, I wonder?), after all. -- Dewey
P.S. Heck, you're even a ROOT vegetable, and you know what that means!
Squash -- I KNEW I didn't like squashes. Or pumpkins or cucumbers or even TOMATOES!
NONE of your rotten poisonous family. No, wait...Dewey says you're not a solanum.
Darn. Well, I still don't like you! -- Joker, squashed
The Sun -- My dear, I thought we'd already DONE this. There wasn't any need to
REPEAT the painful experience, surely? -- Hearts
Bruenor -- You'd BETTER not be laughing at me! That would be distinctly... Not
Hoyle!
P.S. Especially after I taught you six skills. Greedy, aren't you?
Saga -- (groaning) Sing it to me gently. -- The Goalie
Green Bean -- Good gods, you did well at the tourney! How about graduating
immediately? -- Dewey

Battle Royal 4
The Battle Royal arena contests are one of the purest tests of manager skill
available. The rules are simple. The scoring is simple. The updates are live. If
you would like to participate, simply get a team ready in Talcama in the next month
and announce in the personals that you're in. The prize is bragging rights and
having your name along side previous winners (Doc Steele, Manray Frothingslosh, and
Manager). It is a brutal contest, but it is a lot of fun!
Basic rules: No avoiding other contest teams. Score = Wins + Kills - Losses.
Only fights against other BR teams count. First team to 25 wins!
BR4 begins in Talcama (DM 18) on turn 502, due on Jan 29, 2005.
