SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in JHELUM! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Like, F BALLS had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by THE SHALLOWSHIP! Way to go THE
SHALLOWSHIP! I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but FORCE OF FIVE
really goofed with their 0-0-0. The guys at ARENA FELINES like really pulled
together to get a 1-2-0 this turn, moving up by 3. Cut this out and put it in your
scrapbooks, THE SHALLOWSHIP! 'Cause they got 5-0-1 and moved up to 1st! MVP award
for CELEBORN? LOTHLORIEN's proud of him after beating MORDANT DESERTER and getting
13 points. Talk about yer major upsets! FORK BALL's match with LEGALASS cost him a
loss of 9 points! Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all
JHELUM. He got the most challenges. (But what about proposals?) Like, PUSSY-FOOTED
must be pretty gutsy! She challenged the Duelmaster from ORCCON THUGS. Does this
gal have a death wish or what! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I
think VANGUARD should let PUSSY-FOOTED be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting
about it. Who was the wiseguy that said JHELUM's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at
The Warty Toad? Don't look at me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. THE SHALLOWSHIP was JHELUM's most avoided team. Is there some
award for that? Is there some deep dark secret why LOTHLORIEN's been avoiding THE
SHALLOWSHIP so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? See if I ever talk to
VAGABOND again! PERICLES was so low when It challenged it. Hhmph! Is this how SEA
DOGS advances, by having their members (VAGABOND) fight people that are really below
them (PERICLES)? I'm not so sure HAPPY CAT knew all the facts when he challenged
DARK CHAMPION of BLACK & BLUE. I saw HAPPY CAT stumbling and dribbling at The Warty
Toad last week... HAPPY CAT was so studly out there in the sands! Beating DARK
CHAMPION and getting 21 points. ARENA FELINES must be proud, for sure! BORE-O-ME
must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged FOOT BALL. 9
is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought BORE-O-ME showed
great skill and promise when he overcame FOOT BALL. 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? D'ya think GIMLET is feeling guilty for killing LOTHLORIEN's GALADRIEL,
a mere girl? Naah, I doubt it. So DIFFERENT HATS has one more turn to Bloodfeud
DREAMERS' SOGNATORE. Big deal. HUSBAND's dead. What's the point? Ya just gotta go
on. Don't look back... LOTHLORIEN figured it was better to let BORE-O-ME kill
HALDOR unpunished, and not worry about getting nailed again! 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'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember
you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

Bobofutt -- Come on in, the water is fine. -- Andy O
Pussy-footed -- And what other kind of feet would an Arena Feline have, after all?
But just because you CAN sneak up quietly on somebody who's standing around quite
innocently, doesn't mean you SHOULD attack before the arenamaster says "Go." --
Pericles
P.S. However, if you should wish to "attack" me in a more private situation, I am
susceptible to cute little redheads. Just so you know.
Aragant -- No way you're going to pull that on ME, bub, even if I DON'T have a magic
stone bagel. -- Dogface
What? -- Ed.

Amendment for "Fratsfa's Quest for the Best!"
Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates. FE will NOT be a factor. Stables may be entered at any
time. Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
***************************************************************************
This in my invitation to all managers who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari. We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time. We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena. Good luck to all who come to prove their skills. "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance

I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months
