SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly WILLAF games. ZIGADENUS caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BEAU RAMN and was awarded 31 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CRICKET put down ONDO
FLEUR, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. As is fitting,
the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than
Duelmaster BUDOKUMO himself. Who here was not present for the title fight this week
as STINGING NETTLE boldly challenged BUDOKUMO in order to strive for the Duelmasters
honors? Although STINGING NETTLE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple
the reign of victorious BUDOKUMO. Would you believe that over half of the old women
in WILLAF seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In WILLAF "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in WILLAF these days is PUNNY AMINALS. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of YAMABUSHI are catching the bulk of jests
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? I have seen warriors die in youth. I have seen men cut down in
their prime. This week PUNNY AMINALS must mourn the loss of 12-7-2 BEAU RAMN to
MAXIMUM RESULTS. Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by
the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Baarbra Lamont -- You are quickly becoming my NBF! (New Best Friend) -- Goldbrick
(The one with the heart of lead.)
Persistent Beggar -- Wow! Oh, my! I admit that I did not like your continuing,
unwarranted advances, but I had no intentions to kill you. I just wanted to shut you
up! My, my. Sorry. -- Gold Cache
Budokumo -- Kudos. I gave it a shot, but you proved more golden that me. Well done.
-- On Golden Pond
A salute to Duelmaster Budokumo of Yamabushi. -- Midas (coveting a Golden Budokumo)
Ondo Fleur -- We Golden Gladiators congratulate you on your move to The Big Time.
Well done, Lord Protector. -- Midas
Nice three-turn record, Punny Aminals. A 12-3 is soooooo fine! -- Midas
A not-so-nice Duelmaster column, Budokumo. I don't know who is worse; you, or
Goldbrick. -- Midas (Chuckling)
Soap Eating Mouse -- I've given it some serious thought, and what I think you need to
do is start cussing. You've already paid your dues. -- Silvia Minno
Zigadenus -- Ah, my thanks. For whatever reason, that fight put me over some line,
and I'm on my way out. Amazing how these things work, isn't it? -- Lord Protector
Ondo Fleur
P.S. Or it could be that the Commission finally recognized my overwhelming charisma,
which has never done me a lick of good, mind you, and decided they needed me on the
Isle to sell ice boxes to eskimoes or something.
Dorobo -- Well, looks like Ondo's good luck is rubbing off on his teammates. On me,
anyway, and the others can look out for themselves. -- Beau Ramn
P.S. Looks kinda like we should swap records, doesn't it?
Goldbrick -- May you go out On Golden Pond and sink! -- Baabra Lammont
I cock a snook, politely, at the Userous Merchant. -- Marey D'Nuit
If there were supposed to be more personals here, our apologies. Hal spent a
night on the tiles, and we're still trying to catch up with the mail. They
should, well, they might appear next time.
