SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. SUNSET needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Like, KANO CLAN had to
be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by DEVIATION! Way to go
DEVIATION! Uncool, DARK AT HEART. I mean 1-4-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed
to fight? I say use 'em for training practice! Cut this out and put it in your
scrapbooks, BLOODTHIRST! 'Cause they got 4-1-0 and moved up to 10th! MVP award for
CRIXUS? BLOOD AND SAND's proud of him after beating ELISE ISLA and getting 20
points. Talk about yer big time losers! SPARTACUS got smashed by TROWSUL THUNDER,
and lost 15 points! Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all
SUNSET. He got the most challenges. (But what about proposals?) Like, BLAKSKUL must
be pretty gutsy! He challenged the Duelmaster from LITERATE LOONS. Does this guy
have a death wish or what! This Duelmaster is like something else! CHESTERTON
stopped BLAKSKUL dead in his tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said SUNSET's
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Cagliostro's Castle? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? GRIM FANDANGO was the most avoided
team. Is a 659-550-30 record really that scary? I don't know what LITERATE LOONS'
been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from GRIM FANDANGO,
that's fer sher. Ooh! Did OPHELIA DELPHI really know what she was doing when she
challenged RUIN? A 18-14-0 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I don't know what
it means.) Do you think OPHELIA DELPHI knew something before she challenged RUIN?
She got a win and 15 points. What will the gal do next?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Everyone has problems, but why did THE RED BLADES send ROCKSIE RHODES to
the Dark Arena? She had a 5-2-0, and I thought she looked neat on the sands... Hey
you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or
have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Raging Bull -- Unfair match-up for me! I've already complained to the GC, but I
think they were laughing at me. Thanks for the skills and not killing me. -- Mannish
Boy
LPs Sugar Mags and Ophelia -- Congrats on the grad notices, well played! -- Grim
Fandango
Dublin Mudslide -- Well, it took a while, but at least some measure of vengeance has
been exacted. Now, about your little friend... -- Blakskul
Despair -- I despaired at that matchup, all right. -- Helrazor
All -- Three to the DA, my patience has grown thin lately... -- Stik
Kano -- You're beating a very long dead horse with the popularity points thing. The
Commission will never change it. Without it, what would they use to rank warriors?
It would have to be wins/losses which would have its imbalances for you to gripe
about too. The algorhythm isn't perfect, but doesn't it make sense that a warrior
15-20 points or more ahead of an opponent is there for a reason and therefore SHOULD
win the fight anyway? I don't think PPs have anything to do with the actual duel as
it plays out, they are simply calculated post-fight for the ranking system. -- Stik
Hailey Hose -- Talk to your manager about allowing you to wear some armor protection.
You might very well have won if you had some armor, not counting that endurance
problem. -- Xian Lin
Seliora -- Nice job, kid. I envy the purely lucky parries you made. -- Musubu Kin
Lupus Major -- Talk to your manager about adjusting your fighting strategy. If you
can't stand up to the endurance demands of your style, then perhaps you should
consider another line of work. -- Minami Tori
Whirled Peace -- The 'career error' mentioned was probably made by your manager when
he chose your fighting style. Sorry to have humiliated you so much. -- Metaru Hei
Grass Seed -- Wasn't really a very fair match-up. Your skills were just no match for
mine. Sorry. -- Moshi Haru
Stik -- If you ever had anything competent to say or worthy of contributing to the
conversation, then you might (just might, mind you) get a favorable response.
Instead you feel the need to parse, pick from the context, and ridicule my dialogue.
That's purely indicative of a rather limited mentality and marked inability to step
down from your exceptionally elevated self-absorbed, self-indulged, self-centered,
selfish, self-righteous arrogance. Now, if you've got a difference of opinion, then
make your case, pal. But don't act like you're somebody special because you've had
some successful luck in Sunset. It's precisely because of that arrogance you and
your little buddy, that Nomad jerk, are getting your butt kicked these days. You've
grown lazy and over-confident here, accounting for much of your failures. -- Kano
All -- You're taking a very big gamble by not giving your warrior any armor in a
fight. You're simply banking on the the notion that your guy will be able to get the
jump on whatever opponent he faces and continue with the initiative in order to
pulverize the opposition. It's a massive risk and only works in a limited (perhaps
20 -- 25% of the time) capacity. Your guy that's not wearing any armor has to
overcome numerous obstacles (like he better be doing Greater or better damage, be
incredibly decisive, get past opponent armor protection, and pray he's matched to a
vulnerable opponent, just to name some) in order to be successful.
Now that we continue to witness evidence of Stik and Nomad working together here in
Sunset, the question is; what does that tell you about the actions in which the rest
of you should be taking?? The sheer notion that a couple of little snot punks like
those two working together in cohoots to dominate Sunset speaks volumes. Does
sabotage mean anything to you??
I've been presenting this lengthy dialogue here for several turns now and none of you
have ever contradicted or denied anything I've had to say. Apparently there is wide
spread agreement. Oh, there's been a lot of whining about rants or rambling
(whatever that means), and then a lot of useless slop attacking the messenger instead
of the message. It leads me to believe in no uncertain terms that many of you have
been unfortunately afforded a proper education in English composition. Perhaps a
refresher course beyond 3rd grade comprehension would be beneficial.
Go ahead an deny it if you dare, but you're playing a game here with a tremendous
amount of luck factor involved. There are so many ways in which sheer luck plays
into the fight results we receive, most of which deals with the program that
generates the fights. Then match-ups, choice of weapon, warrior design, recognition
points, and even something as miniscule as the choice of hit location on the turn
sheet plays along with the elusive luck factor. This explains in large part the
number in the wins column of teams like Nomad Tribe, Cosmic Freak Out, or Ben &
Jerry's. These are people that will act as though they are some kind of tower of
intellect, but in reality have simply stumbled into a number of wins with using some
exceptional warriors, accidently using the right strategy, and an overly-generous
portion of abject LUCK.
Another 8 butchered in the DA?! Sure do hate to see you guys dump potential
contestants like that. If you're waiting for some sort of perfect roll-up, then I
can tell you there is no such thing. Part of the FUN with this game is attempting to
make use of whatever roll-up is thrown at you. How do you know the roll-up won't
work is you don't give it a try??
I'm really impressed with Strikers getting a 10-2 record this last turn. That's a
very remarkable occurrance. What do you think of that, Stik? Probably just a fluke
due to the positioning of Strikers on the list?? -- Kano
Lord Protectors Sugar Magnolia and Opelia Delphi -- Congrats on the getting out of
here alive. Go forth and spread the good name of Sunset. -- Gentleben and Ben's
Bazaar
Duelmaster Chesterton -- That is fun to say; maybe you ought to stay there one more
turn so that we can spread the joy. Congrats on the throne, Chester who is a ton of
fun. -- Gentleben and Ben's Bazaar
Lingering Buzz -- I think I need what ever it is that you have. -- Anita Phixx
Celina Hye -- I was just trying to say hello. -- Pain Gwen
Acheron -- Well, drats, I shall have to try again. -- Librarian Smurf
Trowsul Thunder -- It's all in the speedos, baby. -- Speedo Smurf
Ruin -- You let me go 3 min? You might make me cocky enough to try that again. --
The Foiler
Sunset -- I am having a special this week at the Bazaar... I am offering two, I say
say again, TWO for the price of one on losses. You give me one win and I graciously
give you TWO losses. You won't find this offer anywhere else. -- Gentleben
P.S. Rumor has it that the week after that I might be doing a THREE for one but keep
that between us... shhhhhhhh!
Amazingly generous.
Trelaine -- The fat lady done sung! -- Row Dayo Drive
Rhennthyl -- Do you happen to know a little guy named stimpy? -- Level of Malevolence
Cerryl -- C'mon... you can say it... Who's your.... -- Hoosier Daddy
Vlad the Inhaler -- Looks like you need another tug on that thing because I could
swear I heard you wheezing during minute two! -- My Sword and Savior
Bitter Dove -- You actually tasted more like chicken to be honest! Fah lah lah lah
laaaaah, lah laaaah laaaah laaaah. -- Tis The Season To Be Lethal
Chesterton -- Well done. -- Time
Chunky Monkey -- Arg, you're off the hook. -- Dead Armed Boxer
Elise Isla -- If you hear a howling in the background, it's me. -- Ghost of One Armed
Boxer
P.S. Chunky sai (possibly cut off by hal?)
Wow, definitely the Arena of the Red Sands on turns 666 and 667! Dead gladiators
everywhere. -- Jorja
Kano -- I think that with regards to popularity, by which I am guessing you might
mean recognition points, you may be confusing the cause with the effect. -- Jorja
One Armed Boxer -- Certainly not! Tutus are for sissies. But we will ask you to
wear tights. With your great legs, this should not be a problem for you. -- Elise
Isla
Crixus -- I can't teach what I don't know. -- Trelaine
Wheelbarrow -- Well, it's your choice. At least you're handy in the garden. --
Bitter Dove
Our congratulations to Sugar Magnolia and Ophelia Delphi. -- Jorja and the Sword
Opera cast
Kipling -- Oh, darn. You reduced me almost to a rag, a bone, and a hank of hair. I
hate it when that happens. -- Elise Isla
P.S. And you really didn't need all those attack skills.
Crixus -- Good try. I'd've taught you more skills, but I suppose smacking you
crosseyed is an impediment to learning. Maybe we should get together somewhere away
from the arena to practice some moves? -- Kallia May
Tistheseason2blethal -- Good gods, that's a NAME? But I see you take it seriously.
Ouch. -- Bitter Dove
Row Dayo Drive -- I was doing okay, or at least I was *set* to do okay, and then this
wild horse came out of nowhere and trampled me into the sands! This was a very
strange (and painful) experience. -- Trelaine
Pain Gwen -- It was the black and white suit that confused me. I thought you were an
usher or something. Although you didn't look like an usher, the way you were
grinning down your sword. Good trick there. -- Celina Hye
