SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of ZUKAL. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. ARENA FELINES? Who?
THE MONGOLOIDS is the top team these days, buddies! Win some, lose some. Speaking
of which, NAHTALEE was winsome, after beating BOO BOO KITTY and seeing her lose 14
points. Duelmaster PUSS from ARENA FELINES is going for the gold, as he Dark Arena
Challenged DARK ARENA's SHEWISH GIANT. Ooh, the excitement! Those who hoped for a
new Duelmaster were disappointed by SHEWISH GIANT, of DARK ARENA, who despite a 0-0-0
couldn't overcome ZUKAL's Number 1. Word has it one team in ZUKAL is taking speech
lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of ARENA FELINES should take
up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of ARENA FELINES
found their efforts at combat frustrated as SOLITAIRE apparently had more important
things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, MAINE COON could open up a fast
food joint! CAT-FU found himself challenged by a warrior 18 below: DJESEE. DJESEE
of THE MONGOLOIDS kept his wits as he overcame CAT-FU. Mismatched by 12 points, TRUE
BLUE subdued CAVE DWELLER. Is this really worth noting? I thought CAVE DWELLER
showed great skill and promise when he was bested by TRUE BLUE. All right, so I
slept through it! Big deal!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
SHEWISH GIANT in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for PUSS of ARENA FELINES. Maybe that
certain serving girl(?) at The Blue Boar Inn will be! Questions are being raised
about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in ZUKAL
would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ZUKAL farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Cave Dweller -- You're a solitary cave dweller? How odd. I thought you dwarves
swarmed like...well, bees or something, in your caves. A dwarf per every cubic yard
or something like that. -- True Blue
Me-Ouch -- YOU ouch, ha! I loved that. I would be glad to do it again, in fact. --
Zulor
Oh...rats! That darned Dangerous Criminal. I think he must be, without dispute, the
single most frustrating standby. -- Blue Shrew
Expendable Youth -- Oh, no, you aren't going to trap ME that way! *I* will not be
suckered into a bloodfeud. Go expend yourself on some cat or mongoloid or lonely
heart or letter bomb. Just stay away from ME. -- Ultorino
Lord Protector Puss -- They tell me you're leaving. Fine. Leave. Who would notice?
-- Arenamaster Zrof One-Eye

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
