Quiznos -- Aye, that's the rub. (the Shakes-man, girls dig literate dudes) Quiz old buddy, my days of slothful indolence are rapidly winding down and my days of the protectorate duties are ramping up. It's for the best but I'll miss such strenuous extremes like scouring the beaches for beach glass and unique shells. Or nocturnal red-tiding, watching the phosphorescence wax and wane and spray while splashing my bare-foots in the surf...looking back down the beach at my gradually fading footsteps in the sand. Or feeding the gulls on the wing while they lean into the wind and hover over the sands. Yup, there's a full day awaiting a lay-about most any time around here. -- Waldo, Duelmaster, Lord Protector SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody, watch out for DAWN, who flew up 23 points in the rankings after mashing NESTOR ORDH like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. CYNICA was beat by MOTHBALL and drops 21 points. Unlike most arenas, WALDO managed to get his challenge off against the 0-0-0 BANDIT PRINCE. Our battling duelmaster WALDO has managed to hold the title, fending off BANDIT PRINCE's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, DARK ARENA. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! WALDO defied all odds and slew BANDIT PRINCE in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as BANDIT PRINCE's meat is notoriously tough. Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. 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. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WANDA 5761 18 12 1 122 SPRINGBORN (358) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MOTHBALL 5796 9 6 1 96 SPRINGBORN (358) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME QUIZNOS 5773 13 8 0 82 QUBIT (464) SIR CUMFERENCE 5744 23 12 0 81 SIR AGLIO (296) CYNICA 5730 17 26 0 77 THE MOONDOGS (97) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LIRVEL MOORN 5792 10 6 1 58 THE MOONDOGS (97) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DAWN 5810 3 1 1 48 SPRINGBORN (358) PERSEA QUELL 5807 5 2 0 42 THE MOONDOGS (97) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NESTOR ORDH 5793 8 8 0 32 THE MOONDOGS (97) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BUFFALO BOB 5816 3 0 0 20 SPRINGBORN (358) -QUIESCENT 5734 3 0 0 18 QUBIT (464) -QWAP, AGAIN 5745 1 0 0 13 QUBIT (464) SIR TIFIABLE 5825 1 0 0 13 SIR AGLIO (296) ICARUS 5809 2 3 0 9 THE MOONDOGS (97) -SEVADE 5790 2 1 1 8 THE HAUNTED (541) -VORTAS 5789 2 1 0 7 THE HAUNTED (541) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

A fool for the decisiveness learning concepts, and a lover of tide-pooling during the spring tides. He liked oceanic creepy crawlies, or as he'd say "there are many little beasties on those rocks and crevices, many little beasties." As for weapons, making it a double penalty for him I never gave the great sword a fair shake so will await his last contest with interest. A good fellow and cool dude, who's only vice seemed to be his constant baiting of Wanda. -- Still, the Distiller P.S. I once suggested to Wanda that he really liked her and his "quirks" were just cries for attention. Her answer: "Pu-leeeeeeese" Lirvel Moorn -- There's not much innovation in being a basher. I just kinda hit what looks solid. -- Mothball Icarus -- You've flying potential. Well, not against me at this time...I like to think of myself as a man of the earth. For now. But you're free to try again. -- Buffalo Bob Sir Cumference -- So round, so full, so firmly hacked! -- Cynica Mothball -- (sneezing several times) Gods, I bust be a both. Or allergig. -- Lirvel Moorn The Userous Merchant? Bah. -- Nestor Ordh Now, THAT was a pleasure. So often has the Desperate Criminal won, but I defeated him roundly, squarely, and on the bias. -- Persea Quell Buffalo Bob -- (frowning) Shouldn't you have hot wings? -- Icarus Ah! My victory over the Dangerous Criminal was probably in revenge for the bad matchup that Mothball suffered? Not a problem, always glad to oblige in that way. -- Persea Quell Our congratulations to Waldo! -- the Moondogs 20 April 2007 All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The Saint, keeper of lists LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS WALDO viciously butchered BANDIT PRINCE in a crowd pleasing 7 minute Dark Arena fight.
