SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
DULLENS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see BLACKBUCK win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly. And it's out
with the old, in with the new, as DARKWIND takes the Title and last week's bar tab
from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how
else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. 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 DULLENS to get a drink than The Yellow Dog
Tavern! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so
nice! So nyaaah! Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Oedpius -- Remind me to thank Jorja. I *think* she gave me a strategy change, and I
wasn't used to it. But whatever the cause, I'm glad you won. I don't have anything
left to say as duelmaster, and I never started with much. I suppose I *could* have
boasted, but my teammates wouldn't let me get away with that! -- Little Ox
Megamanagers. Bah. -- Darkwind
I suppose it's embarrassment that prevents (slight shudder) Koo Koo Kung Foo from
fighting his best. Not that I actually MIND. -- Windwalker
Sigmund Freud -- You say that about MY ma, and I'll have your guts for sausage. --
Ramshorn
P.S. Preferabbly in an alley.
Well, THAT is incredibly embarrassing. It ruined my week. -- Ghost of Firefly
We see that several tourney-based congratulations are in order. To Jumpinjack Flash
and Cobalt, who reached tourney victor status and then died, our regrets and best
wishes for a good Dead Tourney. To Avenging Antelope, congratulations for tourney
victor status and survival. And to Sigmund Freud, great congratulations for his
tourney championship. -- Jorja and the Cardow Hunters
31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
