SPY REPORT Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for BONSUR. UNDER JOLLY ROGER like really fought hard to move up to 2nd from 7th. Way to go! Talk about yer major upsets! HYDRA's match with DANCING COWBOYS cost her a loss of 3 points! What a putz! PINK NOSE fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title. No one said he was a genius... And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome WOOD CHUCK. Aren't EAGER BEAVERS proud. (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just wing this stuff. WASTELAND II was the most avoided team. Is a 840-602-29 record really that scary? Is there some deep dark secret why UNDER JOLLY ROGER's been avoiding WASTELAND II so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is TONYA popular, or what? She was challenged the most in all of BONSUR! She's got a 4-7-0, is that good? Some fights are really unfair. How do you think LAGUNA LIL feels about being challenged by DIKEMBE MUTUMBO, 18 points above her? DIKEMBE MUTUMBO beat LAGUNA LIL. No surprise about that. Really I'm not surprised DIKEMBE MUTUMBO would do such a scummy thing, either. TOTAL DISASTER 1.0 is being unfair. It's challenged down 21 against BEACH BETTY. I don't know why they let this stuff go on. (I'd better shut up) I was sorry to see such an unfair "fight" in BONSUR. TOTAL DISASTER 1.0 got 2 points after beating BEACH BETTY, 21 points below it. For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out VEGAS, BABY! challenged TONYA. After all, haven't WASTELAND II and CHAOTIC LEGION had a long standing duel in BONSUR? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but TONYA wants me to write about it since she was beat by VEGAS, BABY!. Satisfied? What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone gets killed. Not after four more fights. What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its been really albendranius!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? CLARITIN JUNKIE 5735 15 3 0 WASTELAND II 267 PESCHISOLIDO 3999 542 REVENGED PERSONAL ADS Wood Chuck -- What *I* think is, like, that's MORE wood than a wood chuck should chuck. I mean, you're overdoing it, right? Relax a little. -- Laguna Lil Pires -- Oh, cheese, I thought you were a football, not a footballer. I couldn't even see you down there. And then you started kicking me in the ankles, and that just totally hurts, you know? -- Sandy Shore Total Disaster 1.0 -- Yes, all right, now you should be promoted to maybe 1.3 at least. Probably more. Because you really do your job. Ouch. -- Beach Betty Bartez -- I was going to make a comment, but my boss wouldn't let me. Censorship! He said you'd misunderstand, and Our Editor would get annoyed, and it would just be generally bad things. And then he got all, you know, kind and more-in-sorrow-than- anger, and I just completely couldn't think of anything else because of that sort of thing turning my brain to mush. So I just have to say, "Good fight," and stop there. Sorry. -- Salton Seahorse Why, I ask you, would anyone convict an assassin but leave him alive? It seems pointless, because people who are still alive seem to always get away sooner or later, and a convicted assassin who gets away might just come back and practice his trade on the people who convicted him. Why give him the, you know, chance? -- Umbrella Man 24 March 2006 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. 28 March 2006 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 LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DIKEMBE MUTUMBO devastated LAGUNA LIL in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
