SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, JHELUM? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for HARMONY, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4
into 7th. Ha! Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see CELEBORN win a fight
and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, CELEBORN beat HANNIBAL and HANNIBAL lost 14
points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like JHELUM has some guts at least,
VANGUARD the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. ALL LICKERED UP
challenged JHELUM's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the spice
of life, JHELUM may be getting bland, as VANGUARD stays top dog in the city. I'm not
in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's
new, don't you, JHELUM?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only
shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the JHELUM arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Well, the dog ate our homework. Uh...the neighbor's dog. We have a cat. He might
have used our homework for some other purpose, I suppose. Or the carrier is reading
it. Anyway, the turns are not present, so we're doing our personals based on the e-
newsletter. -- Dogs of War
Fly Ball -- I hate flies. Natural, of course, they're filthy creatures, besides
being annoying. But it leads me into bad habits, such as ducking at the wrong
moment. I just ducked right into your sword, didn't I? I'm glad I can't read about
it. -- Hannibal
Gimlet -- It was your Eye! It was awful, Probably scared me out of a year's growth,
if I'm still growing. Or out of SOMETHING, anyway. I know! It disrupted my rhythm.
I had a good three-four beat going, and you stared at me with that Gimlet eye, and
the next thing I knew I was trying to go from seven-sixteen to nine-five. And that
doesn't work. Well, it might, if I had time to think about it and work it out
carefully, but on the fly...no. -- Jimmy Custer
Aragant -- FOUR minutes? What took you so long? I was giving you openings for the
"quick finish" deal, and you kept ignoring them. And listen, I didn't like that, I
was in a hurry to get out and away. Not that I was able to do much "out and away" by
the time you finished with me. This kind of thing is just HECK on a social life. --
Howard
P.S. And you probably eat ducks, too.
Super Jacob -- That business with the ladder made out of lightning was freakish,
but...I dunno, kind of intriguing. How did you do it? Why didn't Narhmin stop you?
Hmm, I guess there's no rule that says you can't have lightning in the arena, what
with Her Nibs always throwing it around when she visits, but the ladder thing, that
is a lot more, well, not useful, as such, but maybe it COULD be. Come around to our
place and let's explore this possibility, eh? -- Epimonidas
Puy -- What kind of name is that? I never heard of such a one. It's a plot, isn't
it? Probably subversive. "Confuse the Dog and you can walk all over him" type of
thing. Heck. -- a disgruntled Bigdog
Lord Protectors Vanguard and Fireball -- My mind is a perfect blank. Ah, well, maybe
not perfect, but it's blank where coming up with an appropriate salute for graduation
is concerned. Fare you well on the Isle, if that is possible (it must be standing
room only there). -- Arenamaster Narhmin
30 December 2005
Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
