SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ALJAFIR games. BRADLEY caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested MICK and was awarded 17 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BRADLEY put down MICK, causing
him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process. Our last turn's Duelmaster has
lost, folks, lost to VETERAN MERCENARY, and HANNABLE has made the way for a new
Duelmaster! With HANNABLE clearing the throne, FOOD FIGHT! of LIMA BEAN EXPRESS
takes a proud seat as ALJAFIR's new Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition points.
Would you believe that over half of the old women in ALJAFIR seem to feel that they
could fight better than you gladiators?
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 FIELDS OF ELYSIUM. 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 FOOD FIGHT! last week. Busy avoiding FIELDS OF ELYSIUM?
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. IALGO JAHN take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in ALJAFIR.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

PERSONAL ADS
Seldom Knosh--- Ah... AH.... Hmmm (Pause to arch eyebrow and toke on pipe) Another
time came and went. Ah... I see a little below the middle there. That is you, isn't
it? Cheeri-freakin-o. -- El Cid
Belloni Cheese -- This is dreary. Nonetheless, my time is near. One way or another.
-- Dr. Dodge-A-Few
Ialgo Jahn -- You big pin-cushion you. -- Mick
Hannable -- No way! Get out of here! You're Duelmaster? No way. Get out of here.
-- Mick
Gladiators -- I hope your tournament goes miserably for you. Ta-Ta. -- Dr. Dodge
Mick -- Ouch! Nothing minor about THAT threat. Classic style match, too, dammit. --
Ialgo Jahn
Dr Dodge -- Ah, timing, the bane of many a gladiator's existences. Good try, though.
-- Bellona Chist
Elcid -- I saw your name on the schedule and figured you were something I should be
taking bicarb for. Guess it was the wrong preventive, huh? -- Senlum Nosh
Bradley -- I never did care for people to give me orders, you know. -- Zebd Arvin
P.S. Including orders to "lay down my arms and surrender!"
Hannable -- Huh, not to belittle your victory, which you earned, still it's
ridiculous for you to be duelmaster because all the high-ranked gladiators are
holding out for the tourney. Shows how small the arena's gotten. -- Alida Bern
Mick -- Well, I can't say I like losing, but you're okay. I know a good place for
beer. -- Ialgo
Minor Threat -- Yep, and this time you pulled in the wins. Makes for variety. --
Jorja, Middle Way
Mick -- Nerves? We were supposed to have nerves? Why didn't anyone tell us this
before? -- Zebd
Minor Threat -- True words! We'll always converse. -- Zebd and the rest of the
Middle Way
