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!. Say good-bye to KRILL CAVALRY, as they are
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the BATTLEMANIA stable. In front of all the
crowds, CURTIS JOSEPH took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two
weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ZORPUNT arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid THE ASININE, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does ZORPUNT really have that many liars? For those of you who like math, try this
one: THE ASININE + Weapons That go Boom = BATTLEMANIA + Avoid City. Well dang
howdy, but if challenges were votes, SPANKYTIME would be president. Although it may
be a contest it doesn't want to win. TAZZY TIGER of AUSSIE KILLERS had better have a
good reason for challenging down 8 points in a challenge which she lost. I thought
TAZZY TIGER showed great skill and promise when she was bested by TRISHA WINGFOOT.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! This round goes to BATTLEMANIA,
their 5-4-1 warrior, PENOK slew the 7-3-0 AIMER. Stay tuned next week to see what
happens. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very
important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick
your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Arghh! -- Huh. Despite the fact that I hit you in the chest twice and then the
'upper body', I was actually trying for your left leg! I'm curious, what was your
protect location? Maybe that made some kind of difference.... -- Old Man Winter
P.S. I'd get rid of the extra weapons and armor, they just slowed you down.
Tellar Fleet -- My, aren't we a lot faster than just 2 turns ago! You wouldn't
happen to be interested in girls with scars, would you? You sure left me a big one!
-- Penok
Jessie June -- There you go again, swinging first! I'm no slouch in the speed
department, you know. You're making me nervous. -- Spankytime
George Clinton -- Love your funkadelic style but think you need to drop a few pounds
if you want to be a warrior. -- Orestes
THawk -- Congrats on taking the throne so quickly! Seems just a few weeks ago you
rolled into town. -- Darkfist
Kid Rock -- You seem to be getting the hang of it. But I wish you'd practice on
somebody else. -- Trisha Wingfoot
Spankytime -- Gods, you are SUCH a bad boy! -- Jessie June
P.S. Well, I may eat offensive people for lunch, I suppose, but would that not be
rather offensive of ME? Quite rude. I am never rude, if I can help it.
Penok -- Did you realize that your name is konep spelled backward? I nearly choked
when Jessie June pointed that out to me. Of all the horrible omens! -- Tellar Fleet
P.S. Us Shews don't do omens a lot, but when we see a bad one, we KNOW.
Okay, so I WAS laughing at the beggar. He was laughable, and so were his "efforts."
Sue me. -- Tombo Lark
The Convicted Thief is worthless and weak. He does not belong here. -- Tessela Ryder
19 August 2003
Citizens of Ghea (only the ignorant fail to note Lirith Kai is not in Alastari),
no new day is rising, but the sun is setting on just another beautiful evening.
While you were sleeping, an irksome rabble has entered the always fair Aruak City.
Of course they fought alongside our warriors, most not so treasured, as all
gladiators do. They drank with themselves, and slept with themselves. Whether they
had masks, who cares.
Warriors, don't be afraid. For years Aruak has been one of the safest cities in
Ghea, and that custom has been continually cultivated, and will continue to be by
those who have called it home for years and those who live, fight, and die by the
same ethics. There is no contest, nor has there ever needed to be one for many
years. A conflict of personalities has arisen, and the city has been 'invaded' by
pests.
Any rules that are annouced will be purely for the joy of the lemmings' own
little world. Those who are being targeted have no interest in participating except
to defend the integrity of an arena that is different from others. Whether you
choose to come to Aruak, do it for your own reasons, not theirs.
Competing in Aruak City has never been for the faint of heart or the weak willed.
Combat is combat, wherever you go. Blood will flow as always, and now many innocents
will be caught in the middle, but those who defend Aruak's traditions never target
those who bring respect of Aruaki customs with them to our home.
So ignore the private ranting announcement brought by the stuporous
Frothingsloshers. If you choose Aruak City, do not choose it for an unsanctioned and
bogus 'contest', choose it for the tradition. Choose it because Aruak is different.
Defenders of Aruak

To any that care -- The CDC is back; our current roster is:
Malaquar -- Minion of Guardian
Pip the Troll -- Burly Enforcer Type
mouse -- Official Sneaky Bastard
Papa Bear -- Elder Statesmen
The Sealer says, "Hi, I'm the dealer."
Papa Bear says, "It's not my f****n fault."
Guardian -- Paper Figurehead

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the
proud, the TOGS!

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
