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 THE MIDDLE WAY 4 was
unseated this week as ERRATA moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a
3-0-0 record for the round. TINKERBELL caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as she skillfully bested THE HONEST MERCHANT and was awarded 15 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BLOODSHED put down DAVIA
HANNAS, causing her to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing
has MENTAL 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 ERRATA. At least, most blades in town are
looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of MADTOWN are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. ERHLIE FAY take warning!
You have more than a few enemies in LYRATILAN.
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? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Mental -- If you think being the Duel2Dude is fun, you really ARE mental. The
speeches, the banquets, the signing your name over and over again on programs, it
just gets to be too much, as you will find out. Unless, as I say, you really ARE
mental. But good luck with it. -- Beltran Foss
Korradur the Black, Khalhums Dwarf -- Ha! -- Quia Salian
P.S. I always wanted to say that. But now that it's out of the way, we can have an
intelligent conversation. Or at least I can speak intelligently, and if you HAVE
intelligence, you can answer. For instance, I could talk about the prospects of
improved guttering. On the roof, not candles. I hate it when candles gutter. And
streets, well, best not even to THINK about that! But roof gutters, with DOWNSPOUTS,
now that is something you can really get your teeth into! My own feeling is gargoyle
heads for all of them. What do you think?
This Happy Peasant person is SICK. I beat him up, severely, too, and he actually
enjoyed it. I am not, in a general way, inclined to kick when people find strange
pleasures, so long as those pleasures don't hurt others (specifically me), but
really, shouldn't this guy see a priest? -- Davia Hannas
Actin -- (crossly) You aren't ROUND. That is a violation of your team name. Get
those corners sanded off quick! -- Xeno Yohl
P.S. Or else give me a square deal on the skills. Which means, more skills for the
loser. Do it now.
Shifty-eyed? Oh, yes. Shifting from my, uh, chest, to another portion of my
anatomy. At least he was too stupid to look at my WEAPON. Until I forced it upon
his attention. I really don't LIKE it when men stare. -- Erhlie Fay
Ed. -- Darn. -- Xeno Yohl
P.S. That was a response to your intent, not your typo.
Indeed. It was one of *those* days, I guess. -- Ed.
All -- Well, I'm back! My stable and I took a wrong turn and ended up in some odd
faraway land, devoid of Food, Training Supplies, Entry Fees and a Postal System. I
would have liked another shot at Velond Wok, but I can't say that I am unhappy to see
him gone, with my stable being 1-8 against him. That's a hot 61.7% without Velond.
-- Carnage, mgr. Madtown
JE -- Ahh, my alliance mate. I don't know if I can challenge first time back, but I
have to take a "Stab" (har har har) at Mental for the Title with Theodoric. He
really wants to leave for the Isle and frankly, I want him to leave too. Besides, I
don't really want to fight ColJ with him. -- Carnage
Quia Salian -- U Sloe Down. Me need to bettel you agen. Carnage saids I areent
reely intelget but tinks U good teech.

Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
