SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in KALTOS this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
THE MIDDLE WAY 5 is pushed out of top team by PARTY ANIMALS, who came from 3rd with a
4-0-0 this turn. And let's see, FERGUS HILL fought SUSHIE and gained 27 points and
contributed to THE MIDDLE WAY 5's 2-2-0. SUSHIE has lost to FERGUS HILL, falling 24
points, while helping make PAPER MARIO a 1-2-0 turn. Defending hers title for
another turn, SAMANTHA FOX kept KALTOS' warrior, VETERAN MERCENARY, from claiming the
throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing
fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the I HEART BALLS stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on KALTOS, what are you afraid of? And avoiding I
HEART BALLS more than any other team we find PARTY ANIMALS. KALTOS, are we going to
accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that INGOLD
KERR from THE MIDDLE WAY 5 was KALTOS' most challenged warrior this turn. Tsk, tsk,
tsk. BEATLE BAILEY, does your manager know you're challenging down 22 points to
fight GLORIA IMBRO from THE MIDDLE WAY 5? We're not surprised to hear that BEATLE
BAILEY won victory over GLORIA IMBRO, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why
PARTY ANIMALS made such a challenge.
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 KALTOS and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in KALTOS again, farewell-- Alarond the

PERSONAL ADS
Shanno -- Gee, I really, really, really, really am sorry to have ruined that perfect,
and obviously overrated, record. Sorry. Sorry. -- Sushi (holding a hand over her
mouth to contain the grin)
Dineen Foyle -- Uh, I don't think I should have won that match up with your style.
I've never had a gimme before. -- Twink
As usual, Sports Greats are never really around when you need them. (Like for
autographs and handouts.) -- Luigi, Paper Mario Manager
Samantha Fox -- Congrats, Babe. If you are really a party animal, I want you! --
Luigi
Samantha Fox -- Enjoy your new position, or old position if you already had it and I
wasn't paying attention, which has been known to happen. If you make it to the Isle
at some point, don't look for me there, as I will be elsewhere. I don't know where
yet, but going on to more gladiating after two years of it just does not appeal. The
fact that I'm quite ordinary as a gladiator may have something to do with that. --
Norle Parth
P.S. Hmm. High charisma, attractiveness, and cool, with low trustworthiness...
maybe I'll be come an evangelist. I would be a televangelist, but that hasn't been
invented yet.
Beatle Bailey -- If that's your idea of a "good time," well, it isn't MINE. I hope
all that beer makes you horribly sick. -- Gloria Imbro
A Convicted Assassin? That's...pathetic. -- Ingold Kerr
Somebody fought the Osksi Noble, outcome not legible, gladiator's name not legible,
most of the FIGHT not legible, because the entire left half of the page is solid
black. I think it must have been me out there, because I have often felt like that
before, during, and/or after a fight. -- Fergus Hill
Twink? Six-feet-two and you're called TWINK? That is sooo misleading! I was
expecting a cute little girl with a sense of humor and maybe some good tips on where
to buy good stockings here, and what do I get? A big, grumpy golem. Cheese. --
Dineen Foyle
Luigi -- I'm glad you like animals and jocks. Go fight them, eh? We'll keep the
standbys from getting above themselves. -- Nick, The Middle Way 5
P.S. Welcome to Kaltos.
Lord Protector Ingold Kerr -- Gods, you Middle Way types are deserting us in droves.
Why? Is it something we said? -- Arenamaster Troktai

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

To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
