SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt LAPUR will ever be the same. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for ARMY OF DARKNESS, whose 1-2-0 this turn dropped them
by 5 into 14th. SWEETNESS stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 9 space move
up the rankings. This brings them up to 8th place. Good work, guys! The CARDOW
HUNTERS guild has had a 4-1-1 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You
never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, FORWARD fought CHROME
CRIMPER and gained 20 points and contributed to FORLORN's 2-3-0. AKUMU has lost to
PEITON, falling 13 points, while helping make BLACK SAMURAI a 0-2-0 turn. TYE FOON
challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone WILL DUEL 4
MEAD's warrior. Somebody's not going to like this, (then again, somebody will), but
our Duelmaster, TESSA, has died, and TYE FOON has killed her. By the way, was that
our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Warty Toad?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. NO QUARTER has cause to stand tall, as they were LAPUR's most
avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided
NO QUARTER stable the most? Believe it or not, it was ABYSSAL PLAINS. Anyone
surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was BLACK SAMURAI's warrior
JUNIBAN. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! Building
dreams on hope, JASON challenged up 26 points this turn to take on MORRIGAN from GODS
OF WAR stable. Even though JASON lost the fight, he at least came away with a gain
of 80 points for challenging on of GODS OF WAR. In a fit of brilliance or of
stupidity (hard to say sometimes), KYOKO challenged SPARKLE FARKLE today, facing a 29
difference in recognition. And though KYOKO lost to SPARKLE FARKLE, the valiant
attempt earned her 1 worth of recognition. Foolhardiness can sometimes pay.
RE'AMEMAIT from RE'S DYNASTY took a risk this turn by bravely challenging up 31
points in a challenge against CAMULUS. But Fate isn't always willing to be cheated,
and RE'AMEMAIT was bested by CAMULUS, and GODS OF WAR has not stopped laughing.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. VENUSIANS made what looks to be a
tough decision this turn, as they sent LYNX, with a record of 3-8-0, to LYNX death.
Farewell, hers. WENDY DAY has departed LAPUR, leaving FORCE OF NATURE without their
5-8-0 warrior. Question, just what was hers team doing at the taverns last night?
The Warty Toad declares a free round for ATHENA and all of GODS OF WAR, for having
revenged WILL DUEL 4 MEAD's URD for killing one of their comrades. Is it really true
that LAPUR has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, LAPUR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

your sword arm, you beat me black and blue! -- Veluna

fell? -- Peiton

hit me in the throat! I'm lucky I escaped that fight with my life! -- Thaar
Wendy Day -- Wow, I think you fight just as well bare-handed! A win and loads of
skills. What more could I ask?! -- Veloon
Master Beru -- Don't worry. I think I took it the right way. You don't make that
mistake twice! -- Reegan Ironbeard
Gallienus -- Aaaah... ya... *ahem* ... <scratch scratch> ...<shrug> ...needs do. --
Buzzsaw
Eldacar -- Everyone knows the Farkles. Fer instance; Uncle Barkle Farkle, the
woolliest sheep shearer whatever sheared sheep. But it's a real trivialist that can
identify my namesake with no peeking. -- Sparkle
Phoenix Rising -- Don't laugh. Sure I left a groove in the sand going in (and coming
out) but I won. -- Petunia
Parede -- You're good at that giving and taking stuff. And as for the skills...I'll
take 'em with gusto. -- Turtle
Mensa -- You Venus gals are tough. I was just about dazzled out...just about. --
Sparkle Farkle
Eldacar -- Don't forget with whom I practice. Wouldn't want to hog all the Saw's
fundamentals to myself...that kind of pain needs to be spread around. <grin> -- S'tou
Urat -- (grumbles) At times this whole "honorable" thing Lazarian insists on is a
royal pain in the nether regions. Lyric wasn't around long enough for me to say I
actually liked him, but a teammate's a teammate, right? Hurry up and move up in
rank, will ya? I want a chance to dance the sands in Bloodfeud too. -- Midnight Ruin
Rage Waters -- Indeed, you're greeting warmed the cockles o me young heart. -- Lorauc
Master Beru -- Methinks perhaps you underestimate your stable and your skills, else
like a wise Manager you play down your skills to beguile any potential opponent. --
Lazarian, Necromancer and Ahringol Priest
Jason -- I feel that you've missed your calling here, boy. You should probably be
chasing after a golden fleece or the like, eh? No, no, the advice is free, no charge
at all. Any time, lad. -- Snowshoe
P.S. Watch out for those secret admirers. They can have peculiar notions, and more
power of enforcement than you might expect!
Midnight Ruin -- What were you THINKING? I should not have gotten the first blow
against you, not unless you came to the arena half asleep! Jorja says she's putting
together a letter for you, and she'll put some of it on the back of this turn, so you
can see the why of it all. I'm not at all sure that "the why of it all," however
defined, could possibly be clear. But that isn't my problem. -- Red Lily
P.S. Don't hold your breath for that letter, though. It might take a week or more
for her to get around to finishing it.
Forte -- Ah, well, perhaps arena fighting, which isn't at all like fighting in an
alley or on a battlefield, is not your forte? -- Cloud Tiger
Neapolitan -- I could wish that Jorja didn't have this well-developed "give 'em
advice" reflex. She suggests that you try the broadsword or (shudder) the warflail,
as more likely to fall within your "well-suited" zone. -- Firefly
Cossiopeia -- Input error on your name? I guess that would make anyone angry enough
to blast out of the starting gate and commence chopping and hacking. Ouch. -- Sky
Falling, which is what I felt like about two seconds into that match
P.S. I suppose this is our "designated loss," but I don't see why it had to be ME.
Sky Falling -- Because, setting aside the fact that you're inept, you're the most
junior. ALL the unpleasant tasks fall to you. -- Red Lily
I wish somebody had put in a new toner cartridge before this newsletter printed.
Even a magnifying glass has limits. -- Jorja, squinting
Goldie -- The crowds love me because I know how to entertain them. And the free beer
doesn't hurt. -- Snowshoe
S'tou -- (flicks an ear) Thanks. -- Snowshoe
Aronwe -- No thanks to the Infirmarian and orderlies. -- Red Lily
Athena -- It works for me. -- Firefly
Peiton -- I could only hope to finish the way I begin...however, I begin the way I do
becuase I know I have a problem with the finish. -- Wendy Day
Brickhouse -- It's a good thing you told me that was your offensive strat...I can't
seem to tell the difference between defensive and offensive...they all end the same
was for me. -- Zero
Sporkis -- No hard feelings about the challenge to Whirlwind. I am just glad he is
off my roster. -- Storm Front, Mgr. Force of Nature
Sparkle -- You can't really blame me for trying can ya? -- Tye Foon
Enyalius -- You keep learning like that and you will leave much sooner than Mensa. --
Zero
Veloon -- Nice learns. I need to just figure out how to keep swinging. -- Wendy Day
Mossman -- Apparently, neither one of us can hit very hard, and we both do not tire
out very easily. I can look forward to you and I working our way up the ranks
together and beginning another Croc Files/Force of Nature rivalry. -- Rage
Brickhouse -- Unexpected fight. -- Tye
Aalaiya -- Curse the gods! I was supposed to get another shot at Urat...now because
of you I am to meet my end in the DA. -- Lynx
Sparkle Farkle -- You can't blame me for trying...I was hoping my fighting experience
might win the day. Not a total loss though, I am still up in the challenger
champions. -- Mensa
Sky Falling -- You fell all right, glad I had the good sense to step out of your way.
-- Cassiopeia (Yes it is suppose to be and A not an O.)
Celadus -- Wow I looked at how many fights you had under your belt and almost felt
sorry for you...almost. -- Vega
Camulus -- If I knew that I wouldn't be sent to the infirmary or worse I'd be temped
to try that again, you are a slightly better teacher than I. -- Ankaa
Oremaster and Ora -- WAAAHOO come on back, I sure do miss you and your Mincers! --
Venus
