SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! THE UNDEAD? Who? CULTS-R-US is the top team
these days, buddies! Practice pays for HURRICANE, who pummelled KRANKYKARL, to
pocket 21 points. BONE YARD certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after
losing to KOOL-AID DRINKER and losing 18 points in the process! Can you believe it?
CROWN ROYAL apparently has better things to do as RIZTAB's Duelmaster than show up
and fight! Now I can't insult BACARDI LIMON, as he has gloriously dueled to the top.
Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team
in RIZTAB is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so
did the "warriors" in RIZTAB avoid THE UNDEAD. As a woman of good breeding scorns
the "warriors" of STEEL THUNDER, so did that sorry team shy from THE UNDEAD Is it
charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is,
TARILISS is the most challenged warrior. RAMPAGE challenged SPECTRE! Who says STEEL
THUNDER are just a bunch of wimps! RAMPAGE of STEEL THUNDER kept his wits as he lost
to SPECTRE.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen
into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!--

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Drat! I sent Big Joe's Big Toe to the Dark Arena on a flash decision. What
was I thinking? (that he was big and slow) But he could have been some-body, he
could have been...a killer. Ya, that's the word. -- Jondeaux
Ironstorm -- The fights not over till the last blow's struck, and mine was the
telling shot. You've got "It" ...and you can keep it. Ha! (CM) -- Krankykarl
Crown Royal -- You wear the big chair well. Now let's see if consistency is in your
vocabulary. -- Dexter
Ranfnagud -- Ran...fffnn...nnagood. You're a mouthful. -- Missy Mossy
Hurricane -- So, do we debate which of us is capable of causing more meteorological
distress? I suspect that, carried to the limit, either of us can do the job of
proving how fragile "civilized amenities" truly are. -- Winter Shadows
P.s. Three skills! Wonderful.
Skeleton -- How does one tell the skeleton of a Kannar from that of a Harkene? For
that matter, if you are "undead," and this means "not really alive," does that make
you a golem of sorts, too? Inquiring minds are idly curious. -- Tariliss
Madam Y -- Your eye veil is terribly chic, but doesn't it impeded your vision,
especially your peripheral vision? Perhaps you should remove it from your helmet and
save it for occassions outside the arena, eh? -- Sweet Betsey
Spectre -- (confused look) I thought you were a manager? Or else an illusion. I
mean, I kept trying to hit you, and you kept not being there to be hit. It was
frstrating. I think I sprained my back with that wild attack. -- Tiannary
Parmenides -- Er, ah. Um. How about, "It was an act of courtesy to someone who has
been trying for quite a while and not winning"? How about, "Owowow!" I thought you
were asking me if I wanted ribbons, not if I wanted to be slashed to ribbons. Ouch!
That was NOT my dream. -- Corianelle
Hume -- I have to tell you, no, I really DO have to tell you, dammit! That was
uncalled for. You're welcome to challenge me, but you should LOSE. Well, okay, it
isn't that I actually object to you proving your skills on me, that's part of my job
description, after all. But the opening you left for Arenamaster Rillion, that
finkle, to make my life a misery, was, well, I could have done without it very well,
you know! -- Spymaster Torric
9 July 2007
I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
