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. We now have a
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. NO-HALF STEPPING now holds the crown
and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for SHOWSTOPPER, who
flew up 15 points in the rankings after mashing SCRUFF like a melon. Keep your eye
on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SCRUFF was
subdued by SHOWSTOPPER and drops 5 points. Well, if ya don't shows up at the
laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes. OPUNTIA did not fight this week so hers
title was forfeit. It's a proud day for the FOREIGN LEGION stable, as their warrior,
DANISH PASTRY, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Advice to bashers--never force
anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the TOBIR arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad THE DOGHOUSE? Big bad THE DOGHOUSE. Big
bad THE DOGHOUSE. TOBIR's afraid of the big bad THE DOGHOUSE. Tra la la la la! And
you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause HIGH SCHOOL PROM beats
feet every time THE DOGHOUSE smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this
MAGINOT LINE you ask, with 56 points and a 8-6-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could
tell! In a mismatch, our friend CLOWN of HIGH SCHOOL PROM got heroic notions and
challenged MAGINOT LINE. What did it get him? A 4-3-0 record, that's what. I heard
CLOWN laughed all the way to the inn as his new point total of 54 was posted in the
arena. I guess beating MAGINOT LINE really pays!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real, and its been fun,
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Codecracker -- You...you broke it! (sniff, poke) But if it's already broken, then
it's okay for me to chew on it, right? Good! I really needed something to chew on.
I think I'm teething. -- Whole Mutt
P.S. Or just bored.
Itallion Stallion -- I just don't like foreigners. They smell different. You smell
different. Probably too much oregano. It makes me sneeze. -- Scruff
P.S. Mind you, I could get USED to oregano, if that's what it takes to get lots of
meat. I don't suppose there's anything actually WRONG with it.
Frank Ono -- Oh, yes. Jorja told me I had to say that. She may have told me to say
it before, I don't remember. Not important. Besides, you recovered in a few days.
-- Tipar Kuroo
Tea -- Tea? You're joking, aren't you? I mean, I go out with a guy, I don't
expect...tea. That completely puts me off my game. -- Echanosarah
Bombay -- (confused look) I thought you'd be wearing, I dunno, something with
stripes both ways, what do they call it, a cheque or something? Maybe a plait? And
you just had regular old clothes. Well, sure, I CAN tear up regular old clothes, but
I was looking forward to something NEW, and everybody TOLD me that highlanders wore
different stuff. Furry bags with dog biscuits in them, and crisscrossing striped
things, and like that. (heavy sigh) Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to chew on
your shoe. -- Ginkor
P.S. But at least I'm a semi-pedigreed shoe-chewer, not like that MUTT.
Wow, this must be some kind of record turn, but I don't see a single standby out on
the sands! Way to GO, Tobir! -- Jorja, The Doghouse
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.
