SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
KOLACT. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! It was
a tough week for WAY OF THE SWORD C3, to drop 5 places in the rankings. Coming up
with a solid 4-0-1 outing, MANAGERY has advanced 6 places in the rankings. Drawing
on all of his experience as a 12-8-3 warrior, MUTE SCREAM went for the Duelmastership
against WOLFRAVEN this week. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody
knuckles was KING NIXON's MUTE SCREAM, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by
WOLFRAVEN. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid SIR AGLIO, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does KOLACT really have that many liars? For those of you who like math, try
this one: SIR AGLIO + Weapons That go Boom = THE FELLOWSHIP + Avoid City. And who
is this GUTBOY FISHFOOT you ask, with 63 points and a 16-5-0 record. Ooh, the tales
I could tell! In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, SYD TUBULAR went after
TREEBEARD, who was higher by 20 points. Well, when the dust settled, SYD TUBULAR
subdued TREEBEARD.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?'
category, SIR DA was mashed by CUTTHROAT, who let SIR DA know that killing members of
THUNDERSTRIKERS is a no-no. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in KOLACT have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Toudshy -- Fellow in Riztab once used the fire'm-up phrase "It's clobberin time." I
like that... "It's mashm-mum-in Time!" "Mash'm-inum-mum Time." mashumin-in time...
forget it. -- Ivan Mashminaplp
Deagol -- Are you one to be hypnotized by the enchanting, enthralling, serenading
tones of a silver-pick plucked dulcimer? Would'cha be captivated by the back-alley
squeezings of a maple/oak concertina concert? How about three kazoos and a
washboard...with bells on? -- Melody
Couples -- By Jing, just seeing you waltz into the arena kranks up the kranky.
Kranky's my middle name, ya know. It's also my prefix and if I had an after-name
suffix, it'd be Kranky too. -- Kranky Karl K. Krankshaft, knk.
Butterbur -- Bloodfeud blood is thicker than your ordinary average everyday blood-on-
the-sands blood. S'a well known fact. It's like...fancy go-to-meetin blood. -- Syd
Tubular
Take Ko, Tora -- No, you may NOT take ko, unless Simon Sez. -- Actaon
Smoke -- I strongly advise against it, as it will shorten your wind, and in the
arena, your wind may be your life. -- Estrella
Savage Force -- I'm not surprised. After all, you're a closet Aruaki, and everyone
knows what THEY are like. -- Moonday
Sid Tubular -- Sounds bad, especially since nobody has seen the Blessed Bagel in
months! -- Estrella

I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months
will be very hit-and-miss. -- the Scribe

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists
