SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly OSKSI games. Former top team GAMES LIBRARY was
unseated this week as FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top
spot with a 5-0-0 record for the round. DOMINO JOE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested AMBITIOUS GUARD and was awarded 10
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL
put down SHARAN KHOR, causing her to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.
Not for nothing has FLAGPOLE PANTIES in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's
throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to
the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his
armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in OSKSI as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed
a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms
no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Flagpole Panties -- My DEAR boy, are you sure you want to run those tattered boxers
of yours up the flagpole? Think of the IMPRESSION it will make! -- Hearts
Eternal D.J. -- Are you even able to think anymore? Or do you just have that one
rotten song running through your mind over and over and over again? What a fate! --
Domino Joe
Ah, the Captured Orc. Bah. -- Yatzee
In MY homeland, a merchant who practiced usery would be taken out in the desert and
tied to stone. -- Sharan Khor
Not to mention what we'd do to any orc we captured! -- Tarhella Vhu
Ed. -- I entirely agree! -- Sharan Khor
Er, good. -- Ed.

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
11 April 2006
To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
