SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of BONSUR. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Nothing is certain in
BONSUR, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top
team--UNDER JOLLY ROGER. Those betting on KILLMORER lost their shirt, as KILLMORER
lost their fighting abilities: 0-0-0. Good things come to those who fight well, as
UNDER JOLLY ROGER can attest, moving up by 1. IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS had cause to
celebrate, after SOLSKJAER got 18 points by beating PAULAMETTA. LAGUNA LIL certainly
had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to DR SEUSS and losing 8 points
in the process! Well, Duelmaster MAJOR ANGER challenged SUGAR AND SPICE's DILL WEED.
Is a 15-4-0 good enough? What can be a greater victory? DILL WEED has taken his
place as the top, as BONSUR's new Duelmaster. So who's the team that's been walking
into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
And how sociable are BONSUR's warriors? Come, let us see. To quell some nasty
rumors, the guys in SEA DOGS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to
avoid 'em. The warriors of SEA DOGS found their efforts at combat frustrated as
WASTELAND II apparently had more important things to do than fight. Is it charming
personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, DILL
WEED is the most challenged warrior. Take heed BONSUR, of the unprincipled action of
MUTINEER. By challenging YAKKO, 24 points below him, MUTINEER besmirches the noble
art of dueling. Warriors of BONSUR! Do you wish your reputations tainted by the
base challenge of MUTINEER?
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A
certain tavern in BONSUR would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Can anything
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for BONSUR? On that giddy note I take
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Major Anger -- Well, LISTEN, you! That's what I FEEL about the way you just chopped
up my umbrellas! They cost MONEY, you know! Nobody just GIVES them to me. --
Umbrella Man
P.S. And what *I* think is that you were trying to KILL me or at LEAST put me out of
business, and I RESENT that. So there.
Wakko -- You didn't really need strength to finish the fight, just an alert
arenamaster to see that you were desperately signalling your surrender. -- Laguna Lil
P.S. And you were lucky, at that, because sometimes the arenamaster isn't paying ANY
attention. It can be the pits if you're at the die-or-quit point.
Cat-in-the-Hat -- Not only do I not like hospitals, I don't like HATS, and especially
when they're worn by CATS. You look so STUPID in that hat. A cockeyed top hat just
isn't YOU. -- Paulametta
P.S. But you might try a porkpie, probably in green.
Don Corleon -- I take that as a PERSONAL insult. Hang on a minute while I review the
curses on hand. (sound of flipping file cards) May all your chile get wilt? What
kind of curse is that? May all your chile be overwatered and tasteless? May all
your chile...what is it with the chile? (flip, flip) Or this one: May a hailstorm
strike just before your onions are picked. (more flipping sounds) Or: May it rain
just as you're about to get the cottonpicker into the field. I think I've got the
wrong curse-file here. These are FARMER curses, and I want something to really annoy
a gladiator. I may have to get back to you on this. -- Ghost of Tanned Tonya
P.S. I'd even settle for some good beach curses, but that file seems to have been
removed from the box.
Viejo Verde -- You ARE a chile, right? A definite hot pepper. Ouch. -- Salton
Seahorse

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
will be very hit-and-miss. -- the Scribe
