SPY REPORT
Hail SUNSET! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as NOMADIC TRIBE is pushed out
of top team by LIGHT BRIGADE, who came from 2nd with a 3-2-0 this turn. Now keep the
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for D.R.I., whose 0-0-0
this turn dropped them by 4 into 10th. KANO CLAN stable has parlayed this turn's
2-1-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 8th place. Good
work, guys! And let's see, MUSHIKU BO fought DR. DREAM and gained 21 points and
contributed to KANO CLAN's 2-1-0. DR. DREAM has lost to MUSHIKU BO, falling 17
points, while helping make NOMADIC TRIBE a 3-2-0 turn. Due to his absence and
inability to defend the throne, CROUCHING HAMSTER has lost the title of Duelmaster.
We should ask GRAVEYARD TAN about the thrill of victory, and what being the new
Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at Cagliostro's Castle?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. GRIM FANDANGO has cause to stand tall, as they were SUNSET's
most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding GRIM
FANDANGO more than any other team we find NOMADIC TRIBE. SUNSET, are we going to
accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was
LIGHT BRIGADE's warrior ASSASSIN. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. This is not good to see. Why pray tell has GLASS CEILING been sent to the
Dark Arena by FEEBLE LEGION? And why with a 7-3-1 record?? We'd like to remind
certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's
considered rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Solzhenitsyn -- Six fights and three wins is more than enough for a 3 wit scum. If
only you had had the advantage of being challenged by Grim Fandango every turn.... --
Sherman, mgr Lit. Loons
Crouching Hamster -- Too quick and too skilled for me. Who made the dim-witted
decision not to avoid? I wash my hands of it.... -- Bulgakov (peacefully, Zenfully,
immortal)
Stik (aka the Donald Trump of Duel II or the Hindenburg of bloated egos) -- Recently
departed: turn 562 of Sunset arena. Recently departed: turn 226 of Stik self-
indulgently stating his manifesto of how to play his game. That barn-sized self-
image of yours (much like Ms. Merriwether's rear as she turned around to write on the
chalkboard) is far too easy a target not to shoot spitballs at. -- Sherman
Fodder -- That's what I get for showing up hung over. Where's the crits?!? -- Vulge
Hamster -- Congrats on the throne, keep crouching, lookout! -- Graveyard Tan
Solzhenitsyn -- The old man should know better than to keep trying that matchup
early, but oh well...perhaps again later if we both still live. -- Stay Gold
D.R.I. -- I apologize for my absence during the first bloodfeud turn. It was not
Intentional. I was supposed to fight and was very surprised and disappointed to
discover that some paperwork snafu had caused me to miss. Not only was the miss
poorly timed after a death, but it also cost me my shot at Bulgakov. Rest assured, I
shall make every effort to be available for the last three turns of the bloodfeud
should you wish to try and uphold your fallen teammate's honor. -- Black Tiger
Momoro Wa -- He fights! I was surprised to see your name on the active board--stay
active for awhile and lets see what you can do! -- Shaman
Mushiku Bo -- No challenge--just a nice little random match that numerically should
have favored you. Guess not. -- Dr. Dream
Foorman -- That was not how that was supposed to go. It was close, but you got in
that one last lucky blow. -- Ziggy
Felt -- The Feeble Legion is back! -- Ursa Minor
