SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ALJAFIR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week MIDDLE WAY went 3-2-0 to move up 3
in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which STEEL WOLVES managed
to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! AIM
REDUCE HAMMER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully
bested MAXA SMASHU and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's
more notable duels, AIM REDUCE HAMMER put down MAXA SMASHU, causing her to lose 13
points of recognition in the process. Although VINN WULF made a valiant effort, it
did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious ATTILA THE HUN. Heed this! A seer
has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!
Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in ALJAFIR these days is BALANCE OF TERROR. At least, most blades in
town are looking to avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been
hard pressed to find any of STEEL WOLVES last week. Busy avoiding BALANCE OF TERROR?
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. COLOSSUS take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in ALJAFIR.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! My hearty congratulations AIM REDUCE HAMMER, for
thy revenge upon MAXA SMASHU, slayer of thy fallen comrade. Next time she will know
better, eh? 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 ALJAFIR. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Commodus -- There are so many games I could make with your name, and Jorja won't let
me. It isn't enough that I have to lose to you, I can't even be insulting! This is
just Too Much. -- Grishort Hurm
Attila the Hun -- So, how was that, eh? It isn't everyone who can surrender
"gracefully" while holding his guts in. -- Vinn Wulf
P.S. I take issue with the "offer of a chance to surrender" in the first five
seconds, because before I could get my mouth open to take it, you hit me again.
Makes me wonder how sincere that offer was.
Shadow -- Yes, well, I guess that counts as a valiant effort, but sometimes valiance
and even effort is not enough. Experience and cunning, that's the key. -- Stelra
Tirins
P.S. Wow, if I win my next fight, I'll have a winning record! Cool.
Skull -- I have to say, you look very strange standing there with nothing but a skull
at the top. How about flesh? Hair? A helmet? At least dark glasses! -- Tamarin
Mellirn
P.S. Or if you really HAVE made a career error, how about, hmm, a job as a
demonstrator for a phrenologist?
I don't have TIME for Convicted Thieves! Besides, he's a werecat and I'm allergic.
-- Xaviora Yohl
Lampard -- We're sorry to see you go. There was something about your presence that
enhanced the arena, but darned if we know what. -- the Middle Way
9 July 2007
I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
