SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Our battling duelmaster TANOSHII has managed to hold the title,
fending off PENNY LOPE's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, PUNNY
AMINALS. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid PUNNY AMINALS, please raise you hand. Wow. Does WILLAF really have that many
liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause GOLDEN
GLADIATORS beats feet every time PUNNY AMINALS smiles at them. Try farming, eh?
Well just about everybody wants a piece of KILDILLI DALL, who was this week's most
challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, ON GOLDEN POND
went after KILDILLI DALL, who was higher by 22 points. Well, when the dust settled,
ON GOLDEN POND bested KILDILLI DALL.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the WILLAF giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And remember, you
can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one
already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
I don't know about a repeat, Anis? You look too formidable for this too-often-broken
heart? -- Heart Of Gold
Tanoshii -- Congrats on your repeat of the title. -- Midas
Dunroe -- It was a golden day for me. It is nice to know I could make it two in a
row. -- Heart Of Gold
Kinyobi -- Thanks for unleashing me. (interpreted from bow wow) -- Golden Retriever
Tanoshii on top? Again? Looks like Yamabushi is taking over Willaf? -- Midas
Kinyobi -- Be careful. Be very careful. I don't want to have to kill you and have
to listen to your manager rant and rave. Be well. Pick better challenges--although
I suspect there is nothing that is good for you the way you perform. -- Golden
Retriever
Heart of Gold -- AAAAaaaaah! That I should come up against a woman of such firm
views on (gasp) Sadie Hawkins Day! I'm RUINED. -- Dunroe Minh
Tanoshii -- Too bad for both of us there isn't someone else nearby in the rankings,
isn't it? We might learn better with new opponents. Still, it appalls me to say
that it could be worse! Look at Zorpunt, for example. So, good work. -- Penny Lopez
Ah, the Kung-Fu Master. Little did he know that I have been STUDYING Kung-Fu over
the past month or so, and I can do the "bow to the teacher" and "grovel like a
grasshopper" PERFECTLY. He was stunned by the grace of my groveling, and thus
unprepared for my dirty, underhanded, unorthodox kick to the critical area. Ha! --
Penny Lope
P.S. I would even say, Ha HAI!
So. Finn the Gray-bearded, Veteran Mercenary. Lucky for ME, I am used to beating up
on my grandfather, who is widely known in our family for always grabbing the last
piece of cake and similar nefarious habits, so I didn't hesitate. One tenderized
Veteran Mercenary. -- Kildilli Dall
Anis -- Never cared for it, especially not once I figured out that it was just
licorice with a french accent. You won't fool ME that way. I will just refuse to
give chase. -- Ondo Fleur
Midas -- What goodies have you given us lately? There isn't a THING in the larder.

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.
Chase a.k.a. SwineTiger

ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
