SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
CALEAM. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for MAUREEN, who flew up 7 points in the rankings after mashing
IRON FORGE like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in
the top ten was CLEMMIE, who dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to say the
least) bout with RUTHLESS JAYWALKER. Our battling duelmaster ENLIGHTENED BEING has
managed to hold the title, fending off VIRGINAL CONCUBINE's none too subtle advances.
Better luck next time, CALEAM. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a
day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the CALEAM giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. 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
The Kung-Fu Master. What a...thrill it was to be matched against him. How
unutterably nasty he was, ungentlemanly, violent, even brutal, and so stingy with the
skills. I can hardly contain my joy anent that match. -- Clemmie the marginally
overjoyed
My sarcasm sense is tingling. -- Ed.
Ah, and the (oh, HA!) "Honest" Merchant. You KNOW nobody has the cognomen "honest"
if he really IS honest. It's all a vicious and underhanded trick. -- Golderie
I wouldn't want to appear to slavishly echo the statements of my teammate Clemmie, a
bit of a peasant, Golderie is, but in this, she is right. The Honest Merchant is not
somebody any honest gladiator wants to know. And, as Clemmie said, stingy with the
skills. -- Loris Key
Iron Forge -- I salute you for being a real opponent, even though you're too short
for most kinds of dating. In fact, now that I look closely, why aren't you a dwarf?
You'd make a great dwarf, and then I could ask you to help me upgrade my armor and
you'd have a clue what to do. Think about getting a race change! -- Maureen
That beggar was NOT polite. He made snide remarks, had bad breath, and hit me up for
a "loan" on his way to the Infirmary. What are beggars coming to these days? He was
a disgrace to all beggars in the city. -- Pike
P.S. Of course, having a substantial body of beggars in the city is a disgrace to
all the hardworking Caleamites in the city, so who cares about disgracing the
beggars?
Well, it seems that we didn't get a chance for Cooking with Smaynurn this cycle.
Unfortunate, because I believe Clemmie had some ideas involving pasta and persimmons.
I guess we'll just have to wonder. -- Pike
P.S. No, really, she says if Smaynurn isn't going to be active, she isn't going to
cook in public. Or even in the privacy of our guildhouse, so even WE don't know what
she had in mind.

In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce
the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders". The
group consists of the following members:
Doc LeGrande
Apex
Street Legal
Carnage
Ghoti
Roadkill
Valamond
This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this
alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We
fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager
brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We
have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on
the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and
respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched.
Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their
prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those
that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land.
We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from
Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus
arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land.
Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we
are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We
have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are.

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light:
Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your
pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more
than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52,
REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari
know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

I received a Gift Certificate from someone. I'm assuming it's for entry into the
Turf War 5. Whoever sent this to me...please email me at rbaphomets@yahoo.com.
Thanks.

The Quest of the Best has come to an end. Dark Knight Toker, host of the Quest,
wants to proclaim the Ultimate Victor and give a listing of prize winners.
Lady Fern and her Flower Girls of the Consortium are the Ultimate Victors of the

the dust. Can't wait to see you defend your title! (wink)
Here is a complete list of managers who placed in prize positions:
1) Lady Fern, mgr. Flower Girls
2) Le Pentarque, mgr. Blood & Guts!
3) Crip, mgr. Otto's Parts
4) D.K. Heathen Hatebred, mgr. Odin's Chosen
5) Ghab, mgr. Assassin Nation

7) D.K. Toker, mgr. Silver Knights
8) D.K. Wasby, mgr. Bronze Knights
9) The Expatriate, mgr. Bleak Legion
10) Still the Distilled, mgr. Springborne Fair
Thanks to all that had the gall to show up, but I really want to thank the
managers that had the mettle to survive and not run when they started getting their
butt handed to them.
Respect to All.
Quest #1 host,
Dark Knight Toker
