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 AMAZONS, as they are pushed
from the coveted top team spot by the GOTTA GET A CLUE stable. It was a tough week
for MADTOWN, to drop 6 places in the rankings. Coming up with a solid 3-1-0 outing,
FUNKY FOLK has advanced 6 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for ROSE
O'SHARON, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after mashing FOIRENE ILMER like a
melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on
the sands. FOIRENE ILMER was overcame by ROSE O'SHARON and drops 14 points. Try as
hard as the THE RED BLADES stable might, they were unable to find their warrior (and
ex-Duelmaster) DR HOOK before this week's fights. In front of all the crowds, KEG
STAND 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 LYRATILAN arena. And
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid THE RED BLADES, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does LYRATILAN really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but
catch MASTERS OF SIN's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at
running from THE RED BLADES. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, X. ROLPH
TUPP would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. In a
touching display by a 'touched' warrior, BLOODFEUD MAN went after X. ROLPH TUPP, who
was higher by 23 points. Well, when the dust settled, BLOODFEUD MAN bested X. ROLPH
TUPP.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Mason Dixon -- Some people! You just have to go around drawing lines. (heavy sigh)
I'm not at all linear, myself. Curves, that's the thing. -- Elindor Imarda
Narcissistic -- Well, darn. People TOLD me I should carry out a shield polished to a
mirror finish when fighting you, but I didn't want to be encumbered with the darned
thing. I guess I should pay more attention, shouldn't I? -- Foirene Ilmer
Corey -- Fortunately for us both, my little werewolfess, it causes me no problems to
drink the blood of a shapeshifter. Oh, yes, trust me, it IS fortunate for you, also!
If I found you unpotable, so to speak, I would have been...angry. You wouldn't like
it if I became angry. -- X. Rolph Tupp
Ocean Blue -- It seems wrong for your eyes to be that blue, but other than that,
seriously, how are you sinful? You look like a standard issue human to me. --
Trellin Xiss
P.S. Sure, we can get a bit off course, but that could happen to anybody. No reason
to go calling it a sin!
Slaid Cleoves -- Huh, I know a troublemaker when I see one. And you look Irish, I
mean, Harkenic, as well, which just PROVES that you make trouble for the sheer FUN of
it. -- Feder jornis
Narcissistic -- Define "everyone," eh? But I thank you for the kind word. -- Trellin
Xiss
Bloodfeud Man -- Well, "they" do say that it's pain that impresses the lessons on our
minds. I think I'd be willing to try it without, myself, but who gets a chance in
the arena? -- Foirene Ilmer
Rialto -- Hey, I'm a pud! It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. -- Feder
Jornis
Our congratulations to Dr. Hook. -- Jorja and the Middle Way

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.
Chase a.k.a. SwineTiger
2 February 2008
ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
