SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Nothing is certain in KALTOS, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--THE MIDDLE WAY 5.
JUST DON'T CARE had cause to celebrate, after THE IMPECCABLE PIG got 16 points by
beating HOFFA. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more,
after losing 7 points to FERGHAN HOHL. (Discrete enough, ELECTRIC SHEEP?) The arena
was more crowded than usual this time, as BEATLE BAILEY faced KALTOS' Duelmaster.
BEATLE BAILEY found out that KALTOS isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to
be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and
ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in
TECHNOLOGY are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of PARTY ANIMALS, so did that sorry team
shy from TECHNOLOGY Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and HOFFA is it right
now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't JOHNS proud! WOLFMAN JACK challenged ZAKAU!
Who says PARTY ANIMALS are just a bunch of wimps! WOLFMAN JACK of PARTY ANIMALS kept
his wits as he was bested by ZAKAU.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the
arena. A certain tavern in KALTOS would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling
may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. KALTOS, I leave you now.
The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Victory Tavern. 'Til next time--
Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Wolfman Jack -- Phew! When you come out of the showers, you smell like a wet dog.
That's only supposed to happen when you go IN, you know. -- Norle Parth
Samantha Fox -- Hubba hubba, but you're too tall for me, foxy lady. -- Ferghan Hohl
Hoffa -- At least you don't have hair. I've heard about that one, and the mere
concept is horrible. -- Chester Egg
Sonny -- You think that just because the sun is shining, your name gives you an edge?
(sigh) You may be right. -- Ingold Kerr
Angus -- I hate being hit by that weapon, so I *had* to win the fight. -- Erloi Gill
Larsanthek of Kurukar and Fratsfa -- Don't look at me, boy! You're the one who got
yourself into this mess in the first place. -- Ingold Kerr the only marginally
sympathetic
Dangerous Criminal -- Not if I see you first! -- Norle Parth

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
