Cat Tusion, I felt it was my clear duty to give you plenty of your namesakes.

SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in JHELUM 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 BLADES OF MIST, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 8 into
14th. HITMEN FOR HIRE stable has parlayed this turn's 2-0-0 into a 6 space move up
the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
ROGUE 7 fought DARK CHAMPION and gained 28 points and contributed to HITMEN FOR
HIRE's 2-0-0. DARK CHAMPION has lost to ROGUE 7, falling 31 points, while helping
make BLACK & BLUE a 2-1-0 turn. And not without some honor, BAGMAN now claims the
title and throne of Duelmaster of JHELUM. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard
from unimpeachable sources that The Welcome Wench uses trolls in their stew. Talk
about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the SUPERIOR FORCES
ZC2 stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on JHELUM, what are you afraid
of? And guess who avoided SUPERIOR FORCES ZC2 stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was BLACK & BLUE. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that TRAUMER
from DREAMERS was JHELUM's most challenged warrior this turn.
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. Congratulations go out to DREAMERS,
with SOGNATORE revenging a bloodfeud against TIMMY! of WESTSIDE BULLOCKS. Is it
really true that JHELUM has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought
I'd ask...
I like this place, JHELUM, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? 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

P.S. I kinda thought with that team name you'd be an elf, not a dwarf.
Eighteen teams on the front page, and only thirty active warriors? This is a sad
comment on the state of a contest arena after the end of the contest.

Is there anybody in the DM game who is incarcerated that has had to litigate in order
to continue playing? Or anyone in the free world who may be able to help me with
case law or legal advice? The Administration has already taken "D&D type games" from
us once (though I recently had that decision overturned). I believe it's only a
matter of time before they try it again and I am prepared to file a lawsuit if need
be. I enjoy DM and any help that could be offered would be greatly appreciated! I

Ladies and gents...get your teams together and join in on the hottest and fiercest
contest ever to grace the arena sands! Intrigue, personal wars, you name it...we got
it going on! What is this contest? It's the Turf War IV in DM 47, North Fork!!
This fantastic contest was begun by my alliance mate Asmo Dius, and I've picked up
some of the slack. Contest starts on Turn 225 (approx. date June 9th?). It's an
"alliance-type contest", so grab your folks and bring them in for a bang up time.
Rules will be printed in the DM 47 newsletter at least until the contest starts. --
