SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ARKERS this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. The SMITHSONIAN guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and
deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can
lead. On their very first turn, INFOMERCIALS had a 3-1-0, and with this kind of luck
or skill, should do well. Welcome to ARKERS. And let's see, FLEX TAPE fought
VIRTUOUS SCRIBE and gained 15 points and contributed to INFOMERCIALS' 3-1-0. MISS
CONSTRUED has lost to RAL STORMBREAKER, falling 9 points, while helping make LADIES
IN WAITING a 2-3-0 turn. And all eyes were on UGARG SNOTSNIK this turn as he
ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. ARKERS has a new victor! By the way, was that
our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Swinging
Aardvark?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the SMITHSONIAN stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ARKERS, what are you afraid of? And
avoiding SMITHSONIAN more than any other team we find BLOODY HAND CLAN. ARKERS, are
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was LADIES IN WAITING's warrior MISS COMMUNE KATE. More fighters challenged her
than challenged the Duelmaster! Building dreams on hope, ALBUS BONERATTLER
challenged up 27 points this turn to take on MAGNETIC WOMBAT from UNLIKELY HEROES
stable. And whaddya know, ALBUS BONERATTLER beat MAGNETIC WOMBAT, and the fighters
of THE CHOSEN were last seen lifting frothy pints of ale in honor of ALBUS
BONERATTLER's 28 point gain.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? 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.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ARKERS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Just a note:
Our DM writers (both staff and players) put quite a bit of effort into writing content
for the newsletters: spy reports, spotlights, and personal ads; fiction and non-
fiction. If you enjoy these, if you want more, or even if they make you laugh, it
would be kind if you could drop a personal ad or even send them a note.
Assur and Consortium, especially, put tremendous effort in Noblish Island, writing new
content and tweaking/correcting older content to help new players learn the game.
A special shoutout should also go to our varied human spy reporters in the ADM arenas,
Seam, Chimlevtal, Shadowspire, Telorinthe, and occasionallly contest arenas.
Kudos and thank you to all of our writers! I'm sure we don't thank you enough.
