SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly MALCORN games. LYCANTHROPE caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested CONVICTED THIEF and was awarded
13 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, INDEMOS put down
TREE SHADOW, causing her to lose 5 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has GREENGROVE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion
have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In MALCORN "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. GREENWARDENS is feared. This much I can say.
Apparently the stalwarts of PHILANTHROPISTS are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena
has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
COUNT KOMA. Watch your back! SLICK BILLY must really be harboring a grudge against
the DARK CREATION guild! Merciless, 17 challenged down XANE REAVER points this week
to duel with he. The weight of the challenge fell hard upon XANE REAVER and
predictably he was bested by SLICK BILLY. This is how to arouse the anger of an
entire guild!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in MALCORN. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
All -- I'm back...and, if the good lords are willing, I plan on staying this time. --
Strada
OBMF -- I can think of a couple nasty names for your abbreviated name, but I'll take
the high road and just sound out your name. OOBMPHHH. -- Indemos
Varekai -- Sweet revenge. That felt good, and I'm not talking about that kick to my
head. -- The Count
Greengrove -- We would like to congratulate you on your Duelmastership, and commend
you on a fine job taking over Charismatic...something we all know is a chore. Well
done, old friend. -- Zeus
Philosopher -- I've been reading some philosophy, and let me tell you right now, I do
NOT think that philosophers are philanthropic. Not a chance. Some of them are just
playing games with words, trying to be more clever than other philosophers, and the
rest of them are either blind, stupid, or Evil. -- Jessalin
P.S. Besides, a lot of it doesn't make sense.
P.P.S. I mean, you just couldn't make the world WORK if you tried to stick to their
systems. It's ridiculous!
Charismatic -- I've been meaning to ask, but I keep forgetting, ARE you charismatic?
In those numbers on the back of the census form, you know. -- Greengrove
P.S. Because if you ARE, well, I just hope you're also modest and sensible, because
charisma does a LOT of damage in the world at large.
J.D. -- This is probably the result of sitting around for a couple of months and then
rushing out trying to get back into shape right before a tourney. You need to STAY
in shape, instead of slipping out and lurching back in and so on. -- Tree Shadow
Strada -- This is...a street? Ouch! Those cobbles are treacherous. I just about
broke my ankle there! This will make it hard to enjoy dancing tonight. -- Pebble
P.S. In the streets.
P.P.S. The dancing.
The Mordant Deserter snuck up and was trying to kill my houseplant, a parTICularly
sturdy philodendron, and while he was laboring in the coils, or toiling in the moils,
or something like that, I snuck up and slammed him one where it would do him the
least good. Ha! -- Patterson Pine

Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
