SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt ARKERS will ever be the same. The FAR TRAVELERS guild has had a 3-1-0 turn
and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing
can lead. And let's see, MORRIGAN fought CHAS and gained 14 points and contributed
to FAR TRAVELERS' 3-1-0. CHAS has lost to MORRIGAN, falling 6 points, while helping
make MIDDLE WAY 11 a 1-3-0 turn. Well done, ARKERS, the Duelmaster was this turn's
most challenged warrior. Perhaps ALEMBIC is not as thrilled, being challenged 3
times. UNCUT SAPPHIRE Bloodfeuded for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to
dethrone FIGHTING IRISH's warrior. Defending his title for another turn, ALEMBIC
kept BAUBLES, INC.'s warrior, UNCUT SAPPHIRE, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is
nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Swinging Aardvark
uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. FAR TRAVELERS has cause to stand
tall, as they were ARKERS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And guess who avoided FAR TRAVELERS stable the most? Believe it or not, it
was BAUBLES, INC.. Anyone surprised? In a brave attempt, MISS DIRECTION from LADIES
IN WAITING challenged up 24 points to fight FELDSPAR from the FIGHTING IRISH stable.
MISS DIRECTION perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she defeated FELDSPAR and
ended up with 90 recognition points.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that ARKERS has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ARKERS and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the

Arena on turn 1000. Load up the Dark Arena with a page full of fights in the
newsletter and make it memorable. For this one turn join in and celebrate the arena's
1000th. C'mon dust off your old Lapurian warriors and send them to fight during the
