SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, RIZTAB? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, HIGH JINKS, since MARVEL
HEROES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this keeps up,
HIGH JINKS, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 6 in the
rankings? BLACKED OUT ON... turned their 2-2-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in the
listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Now let's
all watch DREAMERS' heads swell from their 4-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big
shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see TROLLEY
BOOM win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MACHIAVELLI beat AGIS and
AGIS lost 13 points. You're breakin' my heart. SISTER X challenged RIZTAB's
Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, RIZTAB may
be getting bland, as SCOOBY DOOM stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good
mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you,
RIZTAB?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? MARVEL HEROES was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like FORCE OF FIVE avoided them the most
this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. SUGAR JANE was
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or
feared? Heh, heh. I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one, but COMRADE
KOOK has challenged up by 28 in an attempt against SUGAR JANE. And sure, COMRADE
KOOK lost alright, but gained 2 recognition for his pains. And pains they may indeed
be!
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. I could say I saw this coming, but so
could anyone else. Anyway, this turn it came. MOLLY's 6-8-0 has earned her the Dark
Arena. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain
nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in RIZTAB to get a drink than The Welcome
Wench! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of RIZTAB. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Bump on Topper (AKA Hale Bopper) -- Such venom?!? I never expected such hatred from
someone who owes half of their wins to me. I have a feeling that this isn't the
first time you've felt picked on and lashed out. I mean I realize it must have been
tough growing up a hunchbacked, quasimodo-like dwarf, with a girly name like Hale but
c'mon take it like a man and quit your crying. Guys like Buddha and pretty much all
the girls over at Sweet Magic (and they are very sweet if you're wondering), have a
right to feel picked on after Wulfhere's repeated challenges (and occasional down-
challenges), but you are just a bad loser. You beat me and I wanted a little
redemption (not to mention a second straight wit raise--thank you very much). You
almost got another win from me--it's not my fault that when you seized the initiative
your timing was off and your attack "failed miserably". It's ironic that at the end
of the fight you even surrendered "gracefully, refusing to beg for mercy". It's too
bad you couldn't have taken the loss as gracefully after the fight as you did during.
-- Agis
Tala Gog -- What can I say. You older ladies really know what you're doing and keep
me coming back for more. It's too bad you lack the endurance to hang with younger
guys like me. :) -- Caelum
Molly -- It's a good thing for you that you weren't born a man or that hit to the
groin would have slowed you down a little more. -- Seth
Tillerita -- I don't care what they say about Orcs you girls know how to give a good
spanking. Oh it hurts so good. -- Sorak
Jim Beam -- JB has kicked my butt many times so it was nice to wake up the next
morning a victor for a change (not to mention my face was ink-free). -- Scarheart
Alourshin -- Couldn't you work a little magic and teach me a few more tricks? --
Wusthof
Hang-Ten Harry -- You must have confused me with someone else...faster...more
experienced...etc. -- Wusthof
All -- Just not my naturally gabby self this cycle. But I'm getting over it. --
Jondeaux
Sorak -- You were, I suppose, seeking skills? It was my pleasure to teach you, even
though I suspect that you might come back and use them against me. But it makes me
feel useful, which is generally a good thing. Especially right now. I was gloomy,
and gloom does not become me, but a win, and teaching three skills? Ah, now I know
why I got out of bed this morning. -- Tillerita
Astro Assassin -- Drat. But just you hang around till autumn, and I will fall upon
you. THEN we'll see how chipper you are, eh? -- Autumn Leaves
Wusthof -- It's a good thing that Arenamaster Rillion is a PARTICULAR friend of mine,
or you might have scalped me! Can't have that. -- Alourshin
Caelum -- Damn. -- Tala Gog
P.S. I make no apologies for my language, either. Nothing else would do.
Maverick -- Remind me not to play cards with you again. Ouch. -- Sugar Jane
Aggrandizin Annie -- We practice. -- Sweet Magic

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
