SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of LYRATILAN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team THUNDERCATS was
unseated this week as MADTOWN moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a
2-2-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at OSCO INTOXICATORS' guildhouse
after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 10th. Dark Arena
anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week FUNKY FOLK VI went 1-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. My praise to THE
MIDDLE WAY 4 for their 4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought
round deserving of notice! In one of the week's more notable duels, SABATOGE put
down BENGAUL, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has BAYLEFYRE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion
have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in LYRATILAN these days is MADTOWN. At least, most blades in town are
looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of ERRATA are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after WE LIKE THE MOON. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at
the games this week, it seems that SPARK posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized VELOND WOK. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand SPARK defeated
VELOND WOK. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and
assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

We Like the Moon -- I guess I am getting exactly what I deserve, but I still had to
try. The skills would have been nice with that 21 wit and all. There will be more
bloodfeuds, but I am guessing I should stop while I'm ahead. Wait, I'm not ahead,
I'm behind. Well, good luck going for a hat trick. -- JE
Calli Geier -- How about that friction lesson now? -- Blank, speaking on behalf of
Spark because he is such a shy individual
Beltron Foss -- Well done. -- Fool?
Balzar -- Very nice work, my friend, very nice indeed. -- JE
Jaga -- Oh, gods, a cat. And not even a feline cat, a Convincian cat! Why can't you
be feline? If not Aruaki, you could be Pridefolk, couldn't you? -- Bron Chollu
Panthro -- I can stand you, just barely. Even when you win, because, after all,
you're bigger than I am. But I warn you all now that if Snow-meow shows up, I'm
going berserk. -- Velond Wok
Spark -- Kaboom. -- Calli Geier, who spilled the oil all over the place
Raelvin -- How does a werewolf stand being called a cat? I would find it offensive,
even insulting, but you seem okay with it? -- Quia Salian
Fool? -- Probably you are, if you actually allowed someone to geld you. That
seems...excessive. -- Beltran Foss
Spark -- No, it was probably the positive ions in the air. Or maybe the negative
ones. I can never keep those things straight. -- Quia Salian
Spark -- Drop by our place and we can light up the night. -- Calli Geier
Jaga -- They tell me the only way to deal with painful memories is to embrace them.
Never tried it myself, I prefer hard liquor. But that's what they say. -- Bron
Chollu
Rick O'Shea -- I WILL kill you. -- Raelvin
Baylefyre -- I'll switch places with you. -- Jaga
Rick O'Shea -- I would have killed you, but Raelvin wants to do it. You're lucky. --
Bengaul
Bron Chollu -- And the rubber match goes to Jaga! -- Jaga
P.S. There's no one else to fight.
Velond Wok -- Now you know what it means to mess with a Thundercat. -- Panthro
Quia Salian -- If you get in my way again you will die. -- Raelvin
15 December 2004
The Company of Brothers Alliance would like to welcome Azereth as our newest member.
We are sure he will be an asset to both our alliance and the dueling community! --
Baphomet, Co-Founder T.C.B.
24 December 2004
Due to requests, the Turf War IV will be postponed until turn 225 (approx May/June
2005). Sorry about the inconvenience. -- Baphomet, host of TW 4
