SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt JHELUM will ever be the same. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for PURPLE AND GOLD, whose 0-1-0 this turn dropped them by
5 into 10th. BLACK & BLUE stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 4 space move
up the rankings. This brings them up to 9th place. Good work, guys! The DREAMERS
guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know
where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, DARK CHAMPION fought PERICLES and
gained 19 points and contributed to BLACK & BLUE's 1-0-0. ADAGIO has lost to BLINK,
falling 17 points, while helping make HARMONY a 3-2-0 turn. PUSSY-FOOTED challenged
for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone ORCCON THUGS' warrior. The
attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and VANGUARD remains JHELUM's top
warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team
makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Dripping Blade until they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. LOTHLORIEN has cause to stand
tall, as they were JHELUM's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And avoiding LOTHLORIEN more than any other team we find THE SHALLOWSHIP.
JHELUM, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans,
take notice that ROGUE 7 from HITMEN FOR HIRE 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. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in JHELUM and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the

PERSONAL ADS
Bagman -- Perhaps it was that expert rating that was holding me up. Would you
believe it's my favorite learn, and I just NOW got it? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Whatever, I'm glad to have the rating, but more glad to have the Invitation to the
Isle, and most glad for the grant of lands. I've got my eye on a little place.... --
Pericles
Scandalf -- Especially the way you've been carrying on with elf maidens only three
times your age! You should be ashamed of yourself! Or at least more discrete. --
Dogface
Nick -- Does Pericles's graduation mean somebody else on this team gets activated? I
get lonely. -- Dogface

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
