SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. CALEAM needs a spyreport." Oh, well. I don't wanna hurt
anybody's feelings or anything, but WENSINWASIN 5.5.2. really goofed with their
0-0-0. The guys at SHERWOOD FOREST like really pulled together to get a 3-1-0 this
turn, moving up by 4. MVP award for TWISTED SISTER? IT'S ALL RELATIVE's proud of
her after beating GO-FER and getting 26 points. Talk about yer big time losers!
GO-FER got smashed by TWISTED SISTER, and lost 21 points! Like, SAILOR VENUS must be
pretty gutsy! She challenged the Duelmaster from GOLDEN CANYON. Does this gal have
a death wish or what! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit
of...(!) Oh well, welcome SAILOR VENUS. Aren't SHERWOOD FOREST proud. (Oh, my.)
Who was the wiseguy that said CALEAM's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The
Dripping Blade? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of VENOM must be
getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I
don't? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are HEADBANGERS? VENOM, an easy team to beat
if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can SEEING RED's RUBY be
more popular than me? It was challenged the most, but is that really the same? Ooh!
Did DE DE MAO really know what he was doing when he TV challenged RUBY? A 12-4-2
speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I don't know what it means.) Do you think DE DE
MAO knew something before he challenged RUBY? He got a win and 26 points. What will
the guy do next?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey, warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending
them to the Dark Arena. What's wrong with FLOWER POWER's 6-2-1, SHERWOOD FOREST?
What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. CALEAM is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Moraat -- Huh, you're a rat, all right. Sneak up on me with that damned up-
challenge, and then whammo! And walk off with the skills. (heavy sigh) It's a hard
life, being a trainer. -- Poppa Lode
Noble Assassin? THAT is a crock of it. -- Koribus
Nobody told me I had to learn Kung-Fu. I don't think that's quite nice. So...
PHYSICAL. -- Miss Priss
And you know why the Jaywalker gets away with it, don't you? Because if anybody
complains, such as maybe somebody riding by on a horse, he kills the horse. --
Bouncer
Gosh, if the arenamaster hadn't stepped in at the last minute, I'd've killed the
Honest Merchant. Too bad I got stopped. -- Go-Fer
P.S. He isn't really honest, you know.
P.P.S. The merchant. The arenamaster's probably honest, but he doesn't like the
sight of blood.
Pink -- Aw, let's not. Come by the guildhouse tonight and I'll teach you plenty of
skills for, um, interpersonal situations. -- Koribus
Lord Fang -- Yes, but we're going to have to get moving, because turn 500 is coming
up fast. Hmm, how about...something that STARTS on turn 500 and runs until turn 600?
Or maybe not quite so long.... -- the Scribe
P.S. I can be reached by email at LiviaATreality.com if you want to discuss anything
in this line. I'm trying to put together a storyline that will support action in
several Aruaki arenas, but because this time, I'm insisting on some kind of fore-
knowledge of the plot, it's taking me a little longer to get it off the ground.
P.P.S. Was that coherent? If not, I claim coherence-exemption because I'm doing
this late in the day.
12 January 2005
On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's
Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills
on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could
DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
