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. A stormcloud
is brewing over the BLOODSUCKERS guildhouse. Rumor says any more weeks like this
ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena. Coming up with a solid 3-1-0 outing,
DREAMERS has advanced 5 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for
MEGALOMANIAC, who flew up 24 points in the rankings after mashing BASS REEVES like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on
the sands. BASS REEVES was bested by MEGALOMANIAC and drops 16 points. GROTESQUE
ZOMBIE got through to the Duelmaster this turn. No doubt he was more than anxious to
kick CAT TAGIOUS' tail out of the throne! Well, everybody's pal CAT TAGIOUS moved
its record to 25-16-4 by defeating GROTESQUE ZOMBIE in the Duelmaster's Title Bout
and gaining 11 recognition points. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body,
so try and avoid aiming at that location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad FORCE OF NATURE? Big bad FORCE
OF NATURE. Big bad FORCE OF NATURE. RIZTAB's afraid of the big bad FORCE OF NATURE.
Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch FORCE OF FIVE's act in the
arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from FORCE OF NATURE. Well
dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, GROTESQUE ZOMBIE would be president.
Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've
got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Marx -- A true gentleman brings ratings... uh, flowers to the date. Especially the
especially good smelling... flowers. -- Aggrandizin Anne
All -- I saw last cycle's top fighting styles were, tied with a 3-1 record, PS and
PR... respectively. Which isn't alphabetically correct, which leads me to suspect
there's a secondary accounting going on. (tie-breaker) Any thoughts? Fan favorite?
Somebody kill somebody? -- Jondeaux
P.S. I asked where The Honker was and someone mentioned they'd just seen a little of
her. They'd seen her sticking her nose in the door. Sticking her nose in the
door... oh well then it'll be five minutes before she gets here.
Sugar Jane -- It was written in the stars... and comets. ...comet insurance? --
Ingie
Tsunami -- Ah, but I had my flood control measures already in place, you see. No
catastrophic overflowing of the lake will catch ME by surprise. -- Alourshin
Hippy Chick -- In the bathtub? It is to laugh! You're too wide for any but a
Shewish tub. -- Tala Gog
Zagga the Claw -- Gosh, you're rude! It must come from you being half orcish. --
Autumn Leaves
P.S. And I'm not sorry I killed you, because the Commission will resurrect you (a
waste of the spell, if you ask me, but nobody does).
Arcion -- You learn well for an old fossil. Congratulations. On coming back to the
arena. Stay a while. -- Tillerita
Insightful Ingie -- Enough with the x-ray vision already! I feel too exposed. --
Sugar Jane
Sorak -- (raised eyebrow) Your mother has my sympathies, up to a point. The point
being that you should have been drowned at birth, and with a whole lake out there, I
don't see why you weren't. -- Tillerita
T. Corey -- I hope not! If I go around, I get dizzy! -- Sugar Jane
G. Zombie -- Yes, we're like that, and it's all Jorja's fault. She doesn't pay
attention to us, our strategies, or much of anything. -- Autumn Leaves
Hippy Chick -- Being exposed could be a problem, as there is no telling what you
might meet in a dark hallway of the arena. And they're all dark these days. Darned
cost-cutting! -- Tala Gog

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
29 Jun 2005
The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
