SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Most new teams
do poorly at first. MASSAGE PARLORS, however, has gotten off to a reasonable start
at 2-3-0. Nice job! Hey everybody, watch out for BUCK NAKED, who flew up 31 points
in the rankings after mashing PERSISTENT BEGGAR like a melon. Keep your eye on this
guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. FERGHAN HOHL was
bested by CAPTURED ORC and drops 11 points. Our battling duelmaster FREDERICK
DOUGLASS has managed to hold the title, fending off HOFFA's none too subtle advances.
Better luck next time, JOHNS. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a
day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid TECHNOLOGY, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does KALTOS really have that many liars? For those of you who like math, try
this one: TECHNOLOGY + Weapons That go Boom = LARGE LOSERS + Avoid City. And who is
this HOFFA you ask, with 42 points and a 10-12-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could
tell! Can any one out there say 'weasel'? Oh well, just saying THE IMPECCABLE PIG
will do. He challenged 18 points down to trash HOFFA. Definition of petty: THE
IMPECCABLE PIG bested HOFFA, a mismatch of 18 points.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Here's some advice: warriors with little
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in KALTOS have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la
bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

Abraham Lincoln -- Somebody told me it would be infamous if I attacked you. I didn't
want to be infamous. -- Ingold Kerr
I wish the Fratsfans would keep their stupid slaves home. -- Ferghan Hohl
I dunno what's so bad about being a "Mordant Deserter." If I was in Mordant, I'd
desert, too. -- Norle Parth

12 January 2005
On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's
Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills
on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could
DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
