SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Nothing is certain in ALJAFIR, with changing loyalties, changing
Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--A UNIT. A UNIT posted a nice gain, to
come in 1st. Everybody loves a winner... Practice pays for WHITEY, who pummelled
SLICE, to pocket 18 points. DEFENDER certainly had a baffled expression on his face,
after losing to DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and losing 9 points in the process! Those who
hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by DEBRA ELSITH, of MIDDLE WAY, who
despite a 16-12-0 couldn't overcome ALJAFIR's Number 1. So who's the team that's
been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Everyone is famous for fifteen
minutes, and DEFENDER is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't YORK'S ARCADE
proud!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! The manager at
FISH THANGS must have some new strategy for sending FLUFFY SCULPIN, a warrior with
3-1-0, to the Dark Arena. Watch this space! Never one to advocate diplomacy and
restraint, I was pleased to see YORK'S ARCADE retaliate against A UNIT in bloodfeud!
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Do not despair!
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Ultro Pinky -- Hey, when the boss wished you luck, he didn't mean against me! --
Whitey
Padre -- You are not the only one to take that attitude in the arena, and I have been
told that it makes a safety valve for hostile impulses. I have known managers who
felt that a simple loss in the arena required massive retaliation. I generally spend
my hostile impulses--and I have 'em!--making life hell for characters I'm writing
about. You go with what works in life and in Duel2. -- Jorja
P.S. Right now, my characters are tramping around in pouring rain, totally cold and
miserable, because the guy to fix my roof hasn't come yet.... Hmm, maybe one of them
will FALL OFF a roof!
Two-three, and one of the wins was that (deleted) Ultro Pinky? I'm glad I'm leaving,
I don't want to have to BE here for this. -- Debra Elsith
P.S. Graduation details available if you want them.
Gabogool -- Go for it. I'd have taught you more skills, for the upcoming tourney,
you know, but your attention wandered to a barely-clad... person in the stands, and,
well, it's your business, not mine. -- Debra Elsith
A Cult Member! Ha! Mejandr of the Nameless Cult, he's called. He may be all the
rage... in a cult. In the arena, no. Worthless. -- Norburn Pine
P.S. And that's not bias. I'm a golem (I never knew it till I entered the arena),
and I don't do bias.
Limb Bizkit -- I wanted bizkits with nuts in them. Not fruit peels. -- Gidjit Hayes
Okay, okay, I know! To lose to the Convicted Thief is pathetic. Why is anyone
surprised? *I* am pathetic. -- Gardner Hedge
Whitey -- Good beginning for you. Start at the bottom, and there's nowhere to go but
up. -- Ultro Pinky, winner
The Fall Mail-In Tourney is DUE on the 30th of October and will run on November
2nd. Turns received later than the 30th may not get input.
