SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of JHELUM! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Woof! DOGS OF WAR were a bunch of
dogs after THE SHALLOWSHIP got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! What's
with PUY? She actually beat DOGS OF WAR's EPIMONIDAS, and walked away with 21 more
points from the fight. Laughs were big at TEERAK HA while they watched PUY clobber
EPIMONIDAS. He lost 17 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.
Har har har! Did FORK BALL wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, he's not Duelmaster
anymore. I'm sure JHELUM is excited about LEGALASS, the new Duelmaster from THE
SHALLOWSHIP. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be
nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses
of convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel.
Warriors of JHELUM unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior has
met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Bore-O-Me -- You said it, not me! -- Jimmy Custer
P.S. Actually, I find this whole "war" thing boring. It all comes down to kill-or-
be-killed, and where can you go from there? No options, no clever possibilities.
Just kill or be killed. Bah.
Aragant -- Have you considered trading names with your teammate mentioned just
previously? His name would fit you much better than your own, which is, however, not
so bad. -- Howard
P.S. I just hope a high wind comes along and capsizes your shallow ship.
Gimlet -- That's a drink of some kind, isn't it? I'll take one! I'll take two, and
have a couple yourself. Better to drink than fight, eh? -- Epimonidas
P.S. Within reason.
Fly Ball -- Fly farther, fly faster, and don't bounce back. Go. -- Hannibal
Pixie -- If that's all you could learn from someone of my superb teaching ability,
then you DESERVED to lose. In fact, you deserve to lose again, and I would be glad
to oblige. -- Challon, Teacher First Class

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
