SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ZUKAL! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. TRUE BLUE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested THE USEROUS MERCHANT and was awarded
22 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BOO BOO KITTY put
down BLUE SHREW, causing her to lose 4 points of recognition in the process.
Although KUNG-FU MASTER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign
of victorious PUSS. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has
gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ZUKAL. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.
BLUE HAVEN take warning! You have more than a few enemies in ZUKAL. A match that
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that MAINE COON posted a
challenge against the more highly recognized BLUE HAVEN. The results, you ask?
Well, the firebrand MAINE COON lost to BLUE HAVEN. Remember warriors, this is the
discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Many townsmen have begin to remark over the fact that after one
more round of duels LETTER BOMBS' Bloodfeud against TRUE BLUE will have expired.
Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a
dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a
rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani

PERSONAL ADS
Well, the dog ate our homework. Uh...the neighbor's dog. We have a cat. He might
have used our homework for some other purpose, I suppose. Or the carrier is reading
it. Anyway, the turns are not present, so we're doing our personals based on the e-
newsletter. -- Blue Moon
Tonka -- I keep thinking you should either be a truck, or some kind of sticks-and-
balls building set. And you keep coming out with a darned SWORD and chopping me up.
I hate it when that happens.
Donahue -- You hate me, I can tell. But you're wrong! It was not me who lured your,
er, "significant other" I believe is the current term, away, no. By no means. She
came of her own accord. Took me by surprise. Really, I was more kissed against than
kissing. -- Ultorino, absolutely innocent
Puss -- You're a mean, savage cat, quite DANGEROUS, and you want to HOG (or is that
Dog, as in a manger?) the title, even though you don't DO anything with it. -- Blue
Haven
P.S. And there is such a LOT that you could do with that title. For instance: Puss
on a Hot Night in a Dark Alley in the Sinful City of Zukal. Imagine what a tail
could hang from THAT one, eh? It would sell like ice cubes in July.
Maine Coon -- It says here that you MURDERED Zanadu! And you DID, it was nothing
less than cruel, vicious murder! -- Blue Shrew, missing a sparring partner
P.S. You probably envied Zanadu his charming shortness, you...flagpole!
P.P.S. Relative shortness.
Paganinni -- Listen, are you the violin guy? Well, if you ARE, go turn the Maine
Coon into catgut strings! -- Blue Shrew
Boo Boo Kitty -- Ah...but did you have to do it right THERE? I think your "cute
little claws" went right into an artery, or at least a vein, and it's amazing what a
mess the blood made. Besides which, it didn't go with my color scheme of the day.
So...I had to give you, er, we call it "flying lessons." -- Zulor
30 December 2005
Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
