SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, SOLVEN? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see JACKSON win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, JACKSON beat
CHUCKER ISTTA and CHUCKER ISTTA lost 12 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to
absence, and inability to defend the throne, D.O.A. DOMINANCE has lost the Title of
Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with
the new, as EDGILES KAPP takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Victory Tavern, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From SOLVEN's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. SOLVEN,
I am losing what little hope I had in you. 4-LETTER CURSE WORDS the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like KELLUMBO'S KIDS
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, IO OLDEND was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I notice JEROME challenging down 22
points to fight IO OLDEND, KELLUMBO'S KIDS doubtless has some rotten excuse for such
an insult to honor. And sorry to say, JEROME defeated IO OLDEND, leaving a bad
feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term I'm looking for.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of SOLVEN. I feel much better now. Paste this one in your
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Jorja -- Thanks for the kind words to Nafisah. Looks like for the most part it will
be just you and me in the arena for a while. -- Kellumbo
IO Oldend -- You should really pay your debts off. People hate to be owed. -- Jerome
Dolby -- I am rooting for you to win and get up into the champs this turn! Go get
em! -- Jackson
Chucker -- Hopefully we'll have different results than the last time we fought. Put
em up I say, put em up! -- Jackson
Belissa -- Big time congrats. Care to share your stats and faves if you are not
going to run in ADM? You seemed to be a really solid warrior. -- DK
D.O.A. Dominance -- Like I care! A golem like you probably doesn't have anything
better to hope for, but I'm going to start a milliner's shop as soon as I'm through
here in the arena. Maybe not in Solven, though, it's too quiet here. People don't
do the "high society" bit so much, and that's what you need to really make a go of
hats. Maybe Fratsfa...hmm. Well, whatever, not your concern, right? I don't
suppose neuter golems even WEAR hats. -- Belissa Hough
Jackson -- You don't look like a kid to ME. Damned young hotshot is what YOU are.
And no respect for a venerable old fossil like me with creaky joints. Damn straight
I've been reconsidering this gladiator stuff. Trouble is, the only way to get out,
for my team, is death or graduation. (sigh) Maybe next year.... -- Dolby Jossel
Jerome -- What a spoiled little brat you are! I use "little" metaphorically, of
course. Your manners are atrocious. I suppose you were a Momma's Boy and she never
disciplined you, so you thought you should and would have everything handed to you on
a platter. Ha. Someone needs to jerk you up short. But not me. -- Io Oldend
Nafisah -- And awaaaay you go! -- Edgiles Kapp
P.S. How come I didn't learn more from a graduating warrior, by the way? You
should've had lots to teach me, and now you won't have another chance! Think of the
opportunity missed.
Well, of COURSE the Virginal Concubine's insurance has lapsed! It lapsed the minute
she got thrown out of the palace. Catch any rich-and-haughty type insuring a FORMER
concubine, eh? -- Chucker Istta
Very low/low? I'm a striker, for pete's sake, not a SCUM. In fact, I'm a DECISIVE
striker, which doesn't sound scummy at all to me. Drat. Those people at the
Commission are NUTS. -- Belissa Hough
