                                      SPY REPORT

     If this job didn't pay so well for such easy work, I'd resign so fast you'd think 
I was an Embezzling Scribe.  It sure would help if you would all add some excitement 
to life here.  Personals from Lady Smith and Assur, but no DM Column.  Thankfully, DR. 
SOX is graduating, so we won't have to suffer his lack of a column much longer.  And 
except for W&T4U, everyone else will be happy to see those awards distributed 
differently.
     WHAT GAUL! was the only team effort worth mentioning, going 4-1.  The fights 
themselves weren't, for the most part, very exciting.  Except for GETAFIX.  I almost 
skipped this one, but because of the light offerings this week, decided to go in.  I 
was surprised.  I expected BRUTALIX to make short work of the WHAT GAUL! warrior, but 
I was wrong.  GETAFIX won and earns the title of the best warrior in the arena whose 
name ends in IX.
     The title fight saw the young WAVES TOO BIG trying to reach the top.  DR. SOX 
kept the title of Duelmaster and earned the new title of Lord Protector.  There is one 
other fight I will mention, but first I want to tell you WHY I am so disappointed with 
this turn.
     Sixteen total fights.  Two of those were against NPC's, One of those in the Dark 
Arena.  Not a single bloodfeud challenge.  Not a single kill.  Even worse, not a 
single down challenge.  What am I supposed to write about if I can't write about the 
hate flowing from manager to manager?!?  Unless you want love stories (in which case 
you need to hire someone else - I don't do love stories).  RYO was the most challenged 
warrior who beat off another warrior used to receiving lots of challenges, FHTAGN.  
And HELP WANTED was the most avoided team.  Since most of you are too lazy to write 
personals and DM Columns, I'll be too lazy this turn to count up the numbers on the 
avoids.
     The last fight I mention is for sure the highlight of the events of this lousy 
turn.  BOMBARDIER JET won again, beating ODACHI this time in 4 minutes.  That puts the 
JET at 5-0.  It's been some time since we've had a undefeated rise this high!  
Congrats and good luck, BOMBARDIER!  I'll be waiting for your next fight with high 
anticipation.
     And I didn't have these results last turn, but I have them in now.  Here were the 
notable results from Chimlevtal warriors in the October tournament.

Just to say something, because WE Useful Weapons write personals, I will say ... "Hi, 
all." -- Lady Smith

Yup. Whut she sed. -- Smithy

EVERYONE take note.  The following manager is asking for teams to join with him/her in 
the Turf Wars in DM47.  TWX (10th running) is a major event in Alastari and managers 
new and old are welcomed.  The event starts with the Feb 2016 running of slow arena 
DM47.  A manager would need to start/transfer a team to DM47, send a personal ads to 
DM 47 declaring allegiance to alliance Mercenaries listing their team name and manager 
moniker.  One must also request two rollup gift certificates be sent to The Consortium 
by RSI ($5 each).  You had better rush if you are interested.

  Moderators -- I would like to announce myself for the Turf War: Deitys of Chaos, mgr 
  Wednesday.  I have no affiliations or alliances, thus am simply a mercenary.  Please 
  list me as temporary captain of Mercenaries (until someone more qualified can take 
  the job) for the Turf War. Anyone willing to join me or have me join them please 
  speak up; I simply want to fight in and win this Turf War, nothing more! It may be 
  easier for anyone wishing to contact me to do so directly:  Lee Warner, 57307-308, 
  PO Box 1000, Lewisburg, PA 17837. -- Wednesday, mgr. Deitys of Chaos

Ma Barker -- Squawk Squawk Squawky Squawk Squawk -- Seagull
P.S. Translation: Don't do that again.  He's worried (justifiably) that his time on 
the sands (arena and ocean) is limited. -- Assur

And my team is full again!!!! -- Assur

Dr. Sox -- Much thanks for the column. -- Assur

Lady Smith -- Perhaps I should take your Wet Noodle to the Ocean and you can use a 
Tiny Speedo as a Useful Weapon. -- Assur
