     Pug, Pug, Pug.  It seems your "attitude" is all you had, 'cause your smushed up
yoda looking face couldn't handle Lost in Pace!  Congrats, Pacemaker and Lost in
Pace, on your first Duelmastership on turn 666.  And what's this?!  Howlin' Wolf has
a voice?  A pathetic attempt at a personal ad but an attempt nonetheless.  It's a
start, Wolf man.  I mean, think about it, without me and the rest of the Jacks all
you have to look forward to every week is the same old nice guy Lenpro quips and
Jorja's doggie breath.  I think it's time for some poetry and prose, to beat a dog,
just hit it on the nose, nobody avoids more than the Lenpros.  Go to Home Depot
instead of Lowe's.  To all you average Joes, take off your pantyhose, your lack of
ability surely shoes.  What you reap is what you sows, plant a seed and watch it
grows.  It's about time to end this I suppose, round and round it goes, where it
stops nobody knows.

                                          -- Jack Scagnetti

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail IAYE!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  The ALL JACKED UP guild has had a 4-1-2 turn and deserves to be watched in 
the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, ONE 
EYED JACK fought SPECKLE and gained 19 points and contributed to ALL JACKED UP's 
4-1-2.  LUMBER JACK has lost to WHITE THIGHS, falling 16 points, while helping make 
ALL JACKED UP a 4-1-2 turn.  This turn LOST IN PACE challenged DOCTOR DERSCH in what 
was IAYE's Title bout.  Defending its title for another turn, LOST IN PACE kept 
LENPROS' warrior, DOCTOR DERSCH, from claiming the throne.  Tell me, is nothing 
sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dragon's Blood Inn uses 
trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  I also notice that the HER BEST 
ASSETS stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on IAYE, what are you afraid 
of?  And avoiding HER BEST ASSETS more than any other team we find LENPROS.  IAYE, 
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior 
this turn was RED DOG GANG's warrior COR-CULAINN.  More fighters challenged him than 
challenged the Duelmaster!  Tsk, tsk, tsk.  PACEMASK, does your manager know you're 
challenging down 22 points to fight JACK RABBIT from ALL JACKED UP?  Well, it only 
serves justice to see that PACEMASK lost to JACK RABBIT.  Heh, heh.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  The grave that HER BEST ASSETS had dug for CLEAVAGE may yet be 
filled with the body of BLACK ORC.  Seldom are the likes of this to be seen.  
CLEAVAGE lives still!  Hearty mugs of ale were raised in IAYE today as DOCTOR DERSCH 
was bid farewell to a 10-5-0 warrior, with LOST IN PACE of PACE'S WILD standing 
silent and pensive.  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to 
cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in IAYE, but never good to wear out my welcome.  Look 
for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in IAYE again, farewell-- Alarond the 
Scribe

Congratulations, Lost In Pace!  A fine Pace's Wild Duelmaster. -- Lenpro

Ahhhh.  Voted least popular again, I see.  I just love the attention!  It was
probably the tooth brush and Tooth Pace I used? -- Senator Smith

Lumber Jack -- I was all jacked up for that fight!  I love chopping stuff for
exercise. -- Doctor Dersch

Paceson Vorhees -- It feels good to sink a long one now and then. -- Professor Putt

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good fight.  Health.  Humility.  Honor. --
Lenpro

From all the Pace's Lost in Pace says sorry to cut so many faces. -- Lost in Pace

Midnight Barker -- So you don't like my Pacemask. -- Pacemask
P.S.  What's wrong with a loin cloth and a full helm?

Jorja -- Two dogs are now dead, neither one on purpose.  Sometimes my Paces kill. --
Pacemaker

Jorja -- This is more of other. -- Chevy Pace
P.S.  Ought nought equals double ought.
P.P.S.  It's now sunny.  What?

Pat Sajak -- Two free spins this time.  I might need a vowel next turn, but in the
meantime, it was kind of cool to hear from another manager. -- Pacemaker

Howling Wolf -- Speak up more often. -- Pacemaker

Howlin Wolf -- The fact is you shouldn't apologize.  I don't care who you bloodfeud
with, I was just talking smack to get you to respond.  For the record, I didn't
challenge Son House, I could see your point a little better, but it was a random
matchup.  Really, I'm not offended at all, thanks for the opportunity to skill rape
you and keep the personals coming. -- Pat Sajak

Pacemaker -- Congrats on your first Duelmaster!  It couldn't have happened on a
better turn. -- Pat Sajak
P.S.  Dean!  Woooo!  Koontz!

Pat Sajak -- I was not insinuating anything about you, because: a) I don't sit around
suspecting managers of wrong-doing, b) if I *did* have grounds for such a suspicion,
I wouldn't "insinuate" in the newsletter, I'd call the RSI office and have them look
into it, and c) filling out your turns in company with, in cooperation with, or even
for, another manager is not a "wrong-doing" within the terms of the game.  It is
generally acknowledged that sharing your enjoyment of Duel 2 with other managers
increases that enjoyment.  This is why there are Face to Face tourneys, why managers
form alliances, why they have message boards online.  Further, running two teams, one
by proxy (as with the manager's wife listed as owner-of-record for the second) is not
unheard of, nor is it against the rules.  And finally, there are circumstances when a
manager may openly run more than one team in his own name in a non-transfer arena.
     I hope we have now laid this ridiculous issue to rest.  It started as a casual
play on words and has grown out of all reason.  Let's drop it. -- Jorja

Jack Scagnetti -- You don't mind a little dog hair, do you?  I was sure you wouldn't.
I hear there's something humans actually drink that's called Hair of the Dog, but it
isn't the same thing.  This just good, clean dog hair.  Because I'm a good, clean
dog. -- Speckle

Bukka White -- Hail and fare well to you.  Any time you want to fall in the lake,
just give me a call, and I'll stand by to pull you out.  That's one of my
specialties, pulling people out of lakes. -- Splash

Lost in Pace -- Heck.  I hate getting lost, and this is the most lost I can recall
having been, EVER. -- Ghost of Pug

Minus -- Hey, listen, I'm a better barker than THAT.  At least an A! -- Midnight
Barker

Blind Lemon -- Would you believe me if I said that wasn't an attack, that was an
attempt to seeing-eye for you?  No, I didn't think so.  Oh, well.  It was fun,
anyway. -- Cor-Culainn
