SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of JHELUM! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. CAN'T SLEEP caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested BLANCTOR and was awarded 16 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CAN'T SLEEP put down
BLANCTOR, causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has SCALLAITIS in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week he's proven his combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources claim
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons
perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In JHELUM "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! JHELUM, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is SPORTZ!, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding SPORTZ!. Indeed it was SLEEPERS. Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. SULACCO take warning! You have more
than a few enemies in JHELUM. I can not but mention with disdain the name of SULACCO
who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 14 points below in the rankings.
I thought SULACCO showed great skill and promise when he overcame SUPER CHE. All
right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
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 JHELUM as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Scallaitis -- Congrats on your escape, I'm glad somebody, anybody, is finally
graduating.... -- Sulacco
Apnea -- Nice try, but it looks like the striker's skill curse is finally catchin' up
with you, heh heh! -- Sulacco
Lysistrata -- I suppose I should just be grateful for the skills at this point. It's
gonna be a looooonnngg way to the Isle.... -- The Big Nasty
Baqa -- (muttering) Damned Dwarf! You're little better than an ANIMAL. -- G.A.
Custer
Scallaitis -- I fully believe you've found dangerous things in your bathtub, and I am
fully resolved not to join you there. -- Sherman
The Venomous Concubine was putty in my hands. Ole! -- Super Che
Fana -- I am a good teacher, aren't I? -- Betsy
The Big Nasty -- Just a pussycat, big boy, that's all you are. -- Lysistrata
P.S. Losing your winning record will do wonders for you. It will give you a
challenge, a goal to work toward. You'll be a better man for it.
Scallaitis -- If Che were a better person, he would doubtless agree with your amiable
comments. -- Sun Tsu
P.S. If Che is the second-best warrior in this arena, then Jhelum is in serious
trouble.

To All -- Fellow managers, I humbly request your help. My team (Ex Oblivione) was
started in Monuntial (DM 34) back in '92. They were active for seven months. I have
lost all early traces of them. If any of you can help with copies of relevant
newsletters or, if you fought one of my warriors, copies of the fights, I would
greatly appreciate it. I only have one of my original warriors left from the early
team now active in DM 60. You can diplo me with any info here in the wonderful city
of Aradi. Thank you in advance. -- Enigma, manager Ex Oblivione

Assurnasirbanipal invites all to use his computerized warrior management tool. The
program is the most extensive management tool ever created. It was meant to run on a
PALM OS PDA, but will run (emulated) on a PC or MAC. You can get this program on the
web at: http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir
27 May 2003
A note to everyone regarding manager names and manager lists -- If you're running a
team incognito, all you have to do is let me know and I won't put your name on any
manager lists. It has seemed though, that more people want their names listed, even
if they do not announce themselves, than the other way around. Also, I do maintain
the list more or less by hand and errors do creep in. You have but to say I've made
an error and no one will be the wiser (except thee and me, of course). -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
