SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
WILLAF brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, ARENA FELINES, since
GOLDEN GLADIATORS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Now keep
the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for THUNDER CLAP, whose
0-3-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 8th. Ha! GOLDEN GLADIATORS turned their
5-0-0 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this,
and you get put on hit lists. Middle of the road, DARK CREATION, middle of the road;
you'll get no good words from me, until you get better, or worse. Break a leg. Of
course, we're all terribly impressed to see PUTRID CORPSE win a fight and gain 21
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, STAN DAUFFISH beat KETL PHYSHE and KETL PHYSHE lost 8
points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, WILLAF may
be getting bland, as FELIX stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood
today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you,
WILLAF?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? YAMABUSHI was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?
Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was GOLDEN GLADIATORS. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm
frightfully impressed, O. PUN PLEEZJ was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch
that ego swell, sports fans. I guess I can give a little credit to OLD BALDY of STAR
DRECK TNG for challenging up by 24 to O. PUN PLEEZJ. OLD BALDY won to get 86 points
of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for WILLAF's
morgue. More variety. 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 WILLAF to get a drink than The Dripping
Blade! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so
nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide

The Tempe challenge is upon us; we shall all see what gold life brings. Good luck to
all. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators
April Fools -- It is merely January, so perhaps spring will bring you better random
matches? Nevertheless, you made a grand effort, but I had no cavities. -- Gold
Filling
Cat Man Do -- You did. I didn't. -- Old Gold
O. Fish -- I was on that day. Really on! My golden weapon glowed with power and
speed! Life is good. -- Goldenrod
Jorja -- How kind of you to comment. May your life be filled with golden moments. --
Midas
All -- We hope to visit you soon in an arena near you. (If we outlive the FTF.) --
Golden Opportunity and Golden Arches
Felix -- It might make YOU happy to drag out a fight like that, but I didn't enjoy
it. Well, okay, the conversation during minutes four through six on the topic of
where to get good, well, at least edible, Xochithlani food was interesting. Not
really HELPFUL, but it was interesting. The rest of it, pah. -- Peach Nutt
Fluffy -- I've always had a soft spot for Angora, er, Persian cats. And you found it
and stabbed me there. (sigh) -- O. Pun Pleezh
Goldenrod -- (a-choo!) I'b allergig. -- O. Fish
Hec-Tor -- I agree with O. Fish (an unusual occurrence). You don't seem doglike.
But you could, perhaps, use a little of that "snarling canine" attitude. -- Punh
Jently
What are the Malcornians doing insurging way up here? -- Ketl Physhe
P.S. If we've got Malcornians insurging on OUR doors, then we've been invaded.

Due to requests, the Turf War IV will be postponed until turn 225 (approx May/June
2005). Sorry about the inconvenience. -- Baphomet, host of TW 4
12 January 2005

Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills

DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
