                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DULLENS this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, CARRIE PR fought DREAMER and gained 
14 points and contributed to MOMMY DEAREST's 4-0-2.  DREAMER has lost to CARRIE PR, 
falling 9 points, while helping make DREAMERS a 0-1-0 turn.  This turn SIGMOND FREUD 
- ST Dark Arena Challenged POTATO GOLEM in what was DULLENS' Title bout.  Defending 
his title for another turn, SIGMOND FREUD - ST kept DARK ARENA's warrior, POTATO 
GOLEM, from claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top 
team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Sleepy Smithy until they win.  
Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  ADEPT'S OF XOAN has cause to stand tall, as they were 
DULLENS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And guess 
who avoided ADEPT'S OF XOAN stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was MOMMY 
DEAREST.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that DREAMER from 
DREAMERS was DULLENS' most challenged warrior this turn.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  SIGMOND FREUD - ST must have 
surprised MOMMY DEAREST this turn, after they sent him to the Dark Arena, but the 
Dark Arena couldn't hold him!  I guess it was coming sooner or later, ADEPT'S OF XOAN 
has lost BLADE DANCER, and DULLENS is bound to miss it.  For a little while, at 
least.  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.  
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     I like this place, DULLENS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets 
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

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.
