SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of WILLAF. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. JLG? Who? PUNNY
AMINALS is the top team these days, buddies! Nothing works for a team like victory
(How's that for a perceptive observation?) as MAXIMUM RESULTS can attest... Say what
you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but PUNNY AMINALS will tell you
537-743-18 is nothing to laugh at... Practice pays for RE-PETE, who pummelled 25RTS,
to pocket 13 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice
more, after losing 10 points to RE-PETE. (Discrete enough, 25RTS?) Like a
flirtacious debutante, WILLAF's Duelmaster BEAUFORT found himself the man of the
hour, being "invited to dance" 2 times! You could cut the tension with a scimitar as
GOLDEN DOME of GOLDEN GLADIATORS met the Duelmaster. Now I can't insult GOLDEN DOME,
as it has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I
lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in WILLAF is using psychics to predict
wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of MAXIMUM RESULTS
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of
MAXIMUM RESULTS found their efforts at combat frustrated as NOBLE ON FIRE apparently
had more important things to do than fight.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the
arena. A certain tavern in WILLAF would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Boilingbroke -- Ok, ok. I give! Well done. -- Heart Of Gold
400S and JLG -- I just needed to straighten out that record of yours. How'd you do
in the Atlanta tournament? -- On Golden Pond
Penny Lope -- I feel tarnished. I do. -- 24 Carat
Beaufort -- Congratulations! Well done, CHAMP. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators
Rose Nobles -- What a fine point count gain. Kudos! -- Midas
Kildilli -- Chocolate is out. Marshmallows are in. -- Heart Of Gold
3-12-19-3-9-11-13 is a tough one, Coyote. A very tough recruit, indeed! I would
probably try something like a 4-18-19-3-15-12-13 piker, hoping for the best. Most
will say that is deep, done, DA meat--but we work 'em all. -- Midas
Pete -- That match up was 2 bad 4 me! Maybe we will meet again. -- Noxon
Noble on Fire -- That was more than "mouth service". Well challenged. -- Coyote
Jorja -- I see your name all over the news. Congratulations on your success. --
Coyote
Chauncy -- Once you hit me first (again) I needed a lucky hit. I am sure I will see
you on the sands soon. You just have to beat the FP's to the head of the line. --
Beaufort
Pocket Locker -- What a marathon. It was fun and my first three minute win. --
Scrope
Heart of Gold -- The "broke" usually gets me "boiling". I will try to boil better
next time. -- Boiling Broke
In My Benz -- Ah. Classy wheels. Hmm. Do you loan 'em out? (rubs hands together
eagerly) I'd be glad to give things a try.... -- Dunroe Minh, but maybe not QUITE
done yet
Beaufort -- This is what comes of sucking up the skills. Good work, young fellow.
Go far, go fast, stay alive. -- Chauncy
24 Carat -- Well, I had this great recipe for carat cake.... -- Penny Lope
I wasn't ready for M. Chardinee. But wow, was he ever ready for me. -- Penny Lopez
P.S. I guess I'll have to go eat some of my sister's carat cake to relax.
Well, *I* was ready for M. Chardinee. I creamed him. -- Kildilli Dall
Listen, all you TPs, I'm working on it! -- Chauncy
Anis -- Ha! -- Penny Lopez
Coyote -- I recently had a rollup much like that, except the size was 21. I'd
probably go 9-12-19-9-11-11-13, make it a striker, and arm it with hatchets, light
armor, run fairly fast. -- Jorja
P.S. And for many managers, there's the Dark Arena.
