SPY REPORT
Good day, in ARVAT a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So
bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as BARN OF HORRORS is pushed out of top team by DEVIL ADVOCATES, who came
from 3rd with a 3-2-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for RILL'S GCSC2, whose 2-3-0 this turn dropped them by 6 into
8th. ROMAN HEROES stable has parlayed this turn's 2-3-0 into a 5 space move up the
rankings. This brings them up to 4th place. Good work, guys! The ANGELS OF PAIN
guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know
where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, LORIE fought HEARING AID and
gained 21 points and contributed to LUROCIAN GUARD's 3-2-1. HEARING AID has lost to
LORIE, falling 18 points, while helping make DISILLUSIONED a 0-2-0 turn. RAGE
challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone RILL'S GCSC2's
warrior. And all eyes were on RAGE this turn as he ascended to the throne of
Duelmaster. ARVAT has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw
last night, cramped under the table at The Swinging Aardvark?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. NOTORIOUS has cause to stand tall, as
they were ARVAT's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And guess who avoided NOTORIOUS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was ROMAN
HEROES. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was NOTORIOUS'
warrior P.Y.T.. More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster! Tsk,
tsk, tsk. STRATOSTAR, does your manager know you're challenging down 38 points to
fight PSYCHOTRON from NOTORIOUS? It pains me to see warriors take advantage of the
system like this. STRATOSTAR beat PSYCHOTRON, as if it surprises anyone. MAUD'DIB
from SHADOW RANGERS took a risk this turn by bravely challenging up 27 points in a
challenge against PERSONAL LEGEND. And whaddya know, MAUD'DIB beat PERSONAL LEGEND,
and the fighters of SHADOW RANGERS were last seen lifting frothy pints of ale in
honor of MAUD'DIB's 28 point gain.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Had I not seen it, it would be hard to believe. SILVER TRAIN was
sent to the Dark Arena and lived to tell about it! Makes you think, no? A farewell
moment, if you please, SAPHRONICUS of ROMAN HEROES has been sent to the Dark Arena,
and was carried out on his shield. The Swinging Aardvark declares a free round for
SHAI ALYT and all of SHADOW RANGERS, for having revenged BARN OF HORRORS' DEMONIC EGG
for killing one of their comrades. Is it really true that ARVAT has more dishwashers
per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. 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--

Saphronicus -- Thank you kindly for the challenge. I needed the easy win. I really,
really needed the easy win. You, hear? -- Hearing Aid
Bubba -- Were you ever in that one? You musta had your mind on fishin? You and them
worms--a cute pair. Does it hurt? -- Chronic Pain
Thunderer Hammer -- Those were MY lines you were hammering on. I don't like it! I
don't. -- Wrinkles
The Trainer -- Thank you for the compliment. Whatsa matter, can't take the Delarquan
way of life? Namby Pamby Andorian? Tsk, tsk. See you in the Nursing Home, ding
dong. -- The Old Man
Personal Legend -- I hear ya. I hear ya. I will try to be nice to you. I will.
(Cheezy Grin) -- Hearing Aid
One can become very disillusioned with life. Gimme a shot of vodka in my prune
juice, Honey. -- The Old Man
Roland -- CRUD! I don't mind losing; I just dislike the manner in which I lost.
You'd think one as experienced as I would have known to pull out my back up weapon.
Oh well, it was an honor to have dueled with you. Good luck in holding on to the
title. -- Silver Train
P.Y.T. -- Well that was a massive down challenge on my part. Unfortunately, when
you're up as high as I am there aren't any challenges but down. I'm not going to sit
around and let someone else challenge me just because I am good. That wouldn't be
too sporting for me would it? If you want a rematch just let me know. -- Stratostar
the TV
Mesharr -- That was ugly by both of us. What say you about getting a few ales at the
Green Dragon Tavern. On you of course. -- Personal Legend
Maud'Dib -- Whew! I thought that was going to be another loss for me. Thanks for
letting me win. -- Thunder Sword
Well, hopefully everyone has their tourneys by now. I'd like to offer
congratulations to all of our Arvat award winners. Great job to Burly Reiver,
Defiance and of course Stratostar on your TVs. Well done to Layla and Silver Train
on going 10 rounds as well. -- the Trainer
Well, Silver Train has received his invite and he is off to retirement. I have to
say that he surprised and pleased me immensely. Probably because he was not a
warrior that many managers would have considered a godling and I certainly didn't but
I couldn't have been happier with his results. He had a solid career in tourneys
going at least 10 rounds in all 3 of his tourney entries with an overall record of
27-9-0 including a Runner-Up in Apprentices. I designed Silver Train more for the
arena though and I was very happy with the results. He was Duelmaster, a Saratoga
Glory record, 7 times in his career here in Arvat. He is off to Free Blades to relax
and possibly pop in and out to mash people with his new favorite weapon, the Maul.
Silver Train was 11-15-7-21-10-10(1)-11. Obviously, the 21 Wit is nice but what
really made him stand out was being +4 Init, Rip, Def & Decise. He was in essence
the perfect Striker. His faves are less than spectacular; Mod/Very Low, Maul and
Riposte Skills. The Riposte skills surprised me as he maxed out in Attack and Decise
very quickly. He leaves us with an Ad Master Decise, Masters in Init, Rip, & Attack
and Experts in Parry and Defense. -- the Trainer
For the Godlings -- I wanted the boss to DA me but he wanted for me to do some
reconnaissance for his friend the Trainer. Good lord you are tall. I am just very
happy that I didn't let you swing at me. That could have been ugly. -- Headless
Chicken
Entil'Zha -- Thank you very much for the work out. I shall await your next attempt
at Bloodfeud. -- Demonic Egg
Joe Bob -- <UUUUUNGH!!!!> That not look like fun. Me sorry about rough treatment. <UUNNNGHHH!!!!> -- Frankenrooster
Decius -- I thought I had you then all of a sudden, <WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!> and I wake
up at infirmary. That sucked. If you are nice to me I'll hook you up with some
premium milk. -- Cannibalistic Cow
The Old Man -- You are thinking about a Gecko. That is a lizard. Gingko is an herb
that is supposed to help the memory of geriatric fellows like yourself. I've been
told by other fossils that it works wonders. -- Mad Max
Peter Piquin -- I'd be interested in a cook off. -- Mad Max
Fisherman's Wharf -- Headless would like for me to thank you for the kind words.
Thank you very much. -- Mad Max
Roland -- Where is your Column???? C'Mon my friend. It is an honor to be Duelmaster
not a curse. -- Mad Max
Ted Ickens -- Ick. -- Heron
Bill Berith -- You could try breath mints. -- Sarlow
Belle Zeybul -- But I wanted to see you with zills, and one of those, you know, filmy
things. And veils. -- Geroge Roft
P.S. Seven of them.
Lorie -- Wow, somebody devilish, and lower ranked! What an honor! I tried to be
gentle with you, but I got so excited! -- Peter Piquin
Everything Zen -- What, EVERYTHING? Even the three pounds of flax? Gods! -- Fillis
Bouy
Our congratulations to Silver Train. -- Fisherman's Wharf

All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
