SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ARKERS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Now keep the taverns open late
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for CHAMPIONS OF STEEL, whose 1-4-0 this turn
dropped them by 4 into 10th. Ha! LA PENTARCHIE turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 2nd
place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit
lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, X-FORCE, the Fates
teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to
see MONGOOSE win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MONGOOSE beat ALAIN
DRAGOON and ALAIN DRAGOON lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety
is the spice of life, ARKERS may be getting bland, as INOCHI stays top dog in the
city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to
know what's new, don't you, ARKERS?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
ARKERS, I am losing what little hope I had in you. YAKUZA the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was LA PENTARCHIE. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh,
I'm frightfully impressed, HAMMURABI was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch
that ego swell, sports fans.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the ARKERS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I
must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Desthvan -- Thank you for advising us of the situation. Neither Zig Zag nor Zit
expect or want any lands. They have decided to retire in Canada where there is much
land and beauty with few restrictions and people. -- The Z Man
Nytemair -- Thank you for being my last. It was loadzzzzzzz of fun. -- Zit
Inochi -- Congratulations great warrior. You fought the great fight and deserve the
Duelmaster crown. -- Zig Zag
Feordis Ink -- Gee, I almost didn't have enough in me! Salute. -- Zip
Aujard -- Now that wasn't nice. But well done! -- ZZZZ's
S.G. -- Seems like an unfair matchup, but I'll take it any way I can get it! Now, do
you wanna help me paint my fence? -- Tom Sawyer
Feordis Ink -- That is quite a challenge, I'll grant you. A looooong name! And I'm
the one who has to do it! Ugh. -- Curator
Tien -- You were, by far, the better warrior. -- RichardTheLionHeart
Elixir -- If you think I'M rusty, you ought to see my armor. -- RichardTheLionHeart
La Pentarque -- We avoid you because we fear your great talent. We challenge you
because the best must best the best to be considered great. -- Curator
Congratulations to Inochi of Yakuza. You make a great Arkers Duelmaster. -- Curator
Jernig Mars -- An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth. -- Hammurabi
Dazzler -- Now wasn't that wonderful? But only 18? 'Tis a tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." -- Lady Macbeth
The Consortium guys are so polite we can't stop liking them, even when they lick us!
-- The Pentarque's boys
Dart -- You sure used a surprising tactic. -- Alain
I didn't fall to sleep this time! -- Aujard
Aaaaargh...again Kool Green...I think that's four times now. -- Baltimore, green with
fear
Well, Helen, I don't really want to try again. -- Alain
Nytemair -- Good luck if you manage to meet the DM. -- La Pentarque
Zig Zag -- I didn't want to fight you! I'm challenging this cycle. Let's get it on!
-- Nytemair
Dazzler -- See, I didn't even hit your face even though that's what I was trying to
hit. -- Saint Se Ya
Chow -- Now that was too bad. If I'd known it would be you.... -- Yor Dethkall
Lady Macbeth -- I just didn't want to leave empty handed. I guess you're even harder
headed than I. -- Chaos Invader
Pentarque -- I'm holding the fort. They'll push me off next turn. Hey, have you
seen Gravedigger??? I haven't gotten his tournament results yet, but I think he
buried himself. -- Blackstorm
Morg Potts -- ?Whu? You have things confused. My manager points, I destroy it, or
try to bring back as many pieces as possible. So one way or the other I will dis
"organize" you. -- Chaos Invader
Sunfire -- A battle of the quick draws. Never can tell how that will go. -- Kiseru
RichardtheLionheart -- With the exception of the size difference, I thought I had
found my long lost twin. -- Tien
More Moore -- A short, but good fight. Nice comeback. -- Sohei
Zig Zag -- I wondered how I would fare against a great warrior such as yourself.
Good luck on the Isle. -- Inochi
Z-Man -- We welcome you and your brethren back to this fine arena. The competition
has been stepped up considerably by your arrival. -- Sensei Jan and Yakuza
Hammurabi -- Drat. Go make a law somewhere. -- Jernig Mars
Zip -- (surprised look) I didn't know I had a zipper THERE.... -- Feordis Ink
P.S. And I have SUCH a headache now....
Elixir -- DARK ROOT! You were using Dark Root! -- Imber Lack
P.S. Well...maybe.
Aeryn Sun -- I'm actually very, uh, pro-sun. Within reason, of course. -- Morg Potts
Ghost of Preacher -- I guess NOT, and I think he was awfully hard-hearted on such a
short trial period. Gods, these managers are so CRUEL. -- Morg Potts
All my personals for Arkers are way behind and there is no excuse for it. Please bear
with me while we catch up. -- Maximillian and Northern Badlands
Curator -- Very glad to see you, my old friend. Arkers is a much tougher place with
you around. I have confirmation from your other Canadian buddy that his Ladies in
Waiting will be showing up soon. He was busy in Manitoba for a couple months but
he'll be back soon. -- Maximillian
Aujard -- Thank you for your kind words. To say I'm surprised is an understatement.
No one was expecting you to win more than me. -- Sasha Bal Tor
Saint Seiya -- All your brethren of the style are something special when fighting my
type, so you probably are too. -- Max Von Scum
Nytemair -- Thank you, I'm not your average powderpuff. -- Sasha Bal Tor
Gravedigger -- Yes, I tend to agree with you concerning Ymir. -- Maximillian
For anyone interested Ymir Bloodraven was:
11+1-4-11-21+1-16+1-13-11 Striker, +1 Att, +4 Dec, +4 Par
Am Dec+2, Mas Ini, Mas Att, Ae Rip+5, Ex Par
Favours the Hatchet with a typical MO/LO strat
Likes the Lunge tactic???
A natural aptitude for learning Decisiveness
His record could have been much better if I paid more attention, but....
Feordis Ink -- Yes, I did have a slightly different name once but the commission
didn't like it and wouldn't print it all, hence the change. -- Thundar the Cruel
Dogpound -- Nice to see you back, stay awhile. -- Maximillian
ZZZZ's -- We sure did, that was the longest battle of my career. Nice one. -- Sasha
Bal Tor
Curator and All The Smithsonians -- Thank you, I wouldn't have wanted to grow up
anywhere else. Maximillian tells me I might even be the first of his ranks to fight
in ADM. We shall see; can you recommend somewhere? -- Ymir Bloodraven
Arkers -- Well, I'm finally off to the Isle. I must say fighting with you all has
been a rewarding experience, I thank you. Wish me luck. -- Ymir Bloodraven
P.S. Bobby, I'll miss fighting your boys. Salute!
Inochi -- I'm right proud of you man. That's a hell of an accomplishment being an
undefeated Duelmaster, especially so young. Well done. -- Maximillian
Soultakers, Leviathan -- Welcome to Arkers. May your stay be a long one. You are in
for a challenge. -- Maximillian, manager Northern Badlands
