SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of ARKERS. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. PHOENIX FIRE had cause
to celebrate, after JAGUARMAN got 24 points by beating KAMI. KAMI certainly had a
baffled expression on hers face, after losing to JAGUARMAN and losing 26 points in
the process! Can you believe it? YMIR BLOODRAVEN apparently has better things to do
as ARKERS' Duelmaster than show up and fight! In ARKERS, nothing is permanent
(except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, SENSEI JAN. Word has it one
team in ARKERS is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in
ENTENTER are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a woman
of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of YAKUZA, so did that sorry team shy from
ENTENTER Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and GRAVEDIGGER is it right now.
Most challenged warrior. Isn't CHAMPIONS OF STEEL proud!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! ELIXIR of X-FORCE sends LIMNOR ORDIN of MIDDLE WAY 11 goes to the Weary
Warrior's Retirement Home. ARKERS has no place for weaklings! Charity is unknown in
ARKERS, and rightly so. X-FORCE exacted their revenge against MIDDLE WAY 11. Ask
not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in ARKERS is the highlight of my life. 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 ARKERS?
On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Argh, I'm horrified. It's hard to believe that Aujard met Sensei Jan AGAIN and that
W. Baltimore met Kool Green AGAIN!! And I wonder about Biberon d'Acier challenging
SG. I may have written a wrong number. And I still don't have my turn (today is
6/4). Argh. -- Le Pentarque
Aujard -- I appreciate the three wins, good Sir, but I tire of the same fighter three
turns in a row! -- Sensei Jan (the fighter, not the manager)
Le Pentarque -- Vous jtes un adversaire digne! -- Sensei Jan (the manager, not the
fighter)
Blackstorm -- HAL has had problems recently getting personal ads printed. Hang in
there and keep trying. It is an honor to fight in this fine arena with you! --
Sensei Jan and Yakuza
I think lately HAL has been having serious indigestion caused by a steady diet
of spam. -- Ed.
Weapon-9 -- You expected an easy win perhaps?? First time a fighter of mine has
disarmed an opponent three times in the same fight! -- Inochi
Dart -- Once again, you cannot scum your way to the top. -- Kami
Sasha Bal Tor -- Me head hurts. Oh well, I guess I ran out of gas, but I bet you
can't do it again (wink). -- Chaos
Ymir -- I hope I get through to you this cycle since I would really like my chair
back. -- Chaos Warrior
Chow -- I've lost way too many new recruits all over Alastari to let even accidental
deaths go unpunished. So sorry, but you should be meeting someone nasty. --
Blackstorm
Max Von Scum -- I thought I wasn't going to make it, but I'm so bull headed. --
Minoaur
Thundar -- I picked the wrong time to go light. Can I have my scalp back? I think
it's stuck to your stick. -- Gravedigger
Taurus -- Just call me the greasy eel. I guess hitting me is tough since nobody has
in a long time. -- Nytemair
Le Pentarque -- Sorry pal, but I'm not online. But when I am (later this year) I'll
be sure to drop a line. -- Blackstorm
P.S. I think I have some friends in Guyanne (did I spell right?).
Wrath -- That kind of thing is bad for your blood pressure, you know. And high blood
pressure can be a real handicap for a gladiator. You wouldn't BELIEVE how fast you
can be weakened by bleeding at high pressure! -- Limnor Orden
Black Lab -- What? You're a DOG? Cheese, I thought you were, I don't know, an evil
magician's experimental chamber or something. -- Jernig Mars
P.S. Great skills, thanks.
Borzoi -- I couldn't understand a thing you barked, and I'm good with dogs, usually.
-- Feordis Ink
Gryphos -- You made me horribly dizzy, the way you kept gyrating. And that glimpse,
now and then, of eagle's wings and lion's paws and so on, spooky. -- Imber Lack
Ruger -- Never try to beat an orc like he was a drum, pal. We just grab the
drumsticks and eat 'em. I like mine extra crispy, and with honey mustard dipping
sauce besides. -- Geroge Jim
La Pentarque -- Well, I will make comments if I fight the same people over and over
again, but as long as I survive the experience, I can shrug it off. -- Feordis Ink
Gravedigger -- As my teammate said, so long as I survive the experience, I can shrug
it off. My recognition points got inflated on Noblish Island, fighting, ahem, the
terminally inexperienced. -- Jernig Mars

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
7 June 2005
I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months
will be very hit-and-miss. -- the Scribe
