SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. We now have a new top team for all of you guys
to dogpile on. JAGUAR WARRIORS now holds the crown and they are betting they can
keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for MATARSE FURY, who flew up 14 points in the
rankings after mashing GUY like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some
days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. HIDEKI HAO was beat by THE USEROUS
MERCHANT and drops 13 points. Drawing on all of hers experience as a 12-2-0 warrior,
JILL OPPY went for the Duelmastership against DEO VOLENTE this week. In front of all
the crowds, JILL OPPY took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own. I give the bum two
weeks. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at
that location.
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS was
most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of THE MAGNIFICENT
MAGS' warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch FUNKY
FOLK's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from THE
MAGNIFICENT MAGS. And who is this HELENA you ask, with 55 points and a 4-1-1 record.
Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. 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

PERSONAL ADS
Ved Buens Ende -- I don't consider that a very buens ende. I should have won, as
befits my maturity and dignity. Just because you're OLDER.... Some people push the
"gray power" thing too far. -- Modern Maturity
Hideki Hao -- What a pipsqueak you are. Short and greasy, and yet...it's just
HAMBURGER grease, not good, honest, tinker-with-the-carriage grease. If you think
I'm going to take YOU for a joy-ride, you can damned well think again, buster brown!
-- Hot Rod
Cary Yon -- Well, I can see the point of that if you're doing a lot of traveling.
Waiting at the baggage carousel can be tedious. Now, if they'd let the PASSENGERS
ride the carousel, it might be fun, but baggage...pshaw! What do a bunch of old bags
know about having fun? -- Sports Ill.
Gene Poole -- The one that went before was better. I don't really do zombies. Or
understand why anyone would make them, for that matter. Not when you could make a
great golem like me, instead. -- Guy
Ved Buens Ende -- So far, no fifth kill for you. -- Hot Rod. Gloating, or at least
happy about it
Deo Volente -- This is very likely. After all, you want to fight the best in order
to learn, do you not? And that's me. -- Sports Ill.
26 May 2006
The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
