SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt NIYTYOLE ISLAND will ever be the same. And let's see, CONDOR fought BLACKER
and gained 11 points and contributed to THE WARBIRDS' 3-2-0. BLACKER has lost to
CONDOR, falling 5 points, while helping make HOMES a 2-3-0 turn. Due to his absence
and inability to defend the throne, BEAG LOICH has lost the title of Duelmaster. We
should ask SAVANNAH about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster
does for a warrior, it's now the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that The Don't Drop Inn uses trolls in their stew.
Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. In a fit of brilliance or of stupidity (hard to say
sometimes), ORANGE PARK challenged SAMOA today, facing a 29 difference in
recognition. And now nobody knows where SAMOA is right now, after giving ORANGE PARK
29 points worth of recognition. As quiet chuckles rise behind me.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, NIYTYOLE ISLAND, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in NIYTYOLE ISLAND, but never
good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises
and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Hey, where has everyone gone? -- Bird Master
Condor -- I don't doubt it. Good luck. -- OP
Livia - The manager of Obsidian Hall is me. My name, Dameon Darkheart.
Livia -- I think changing the spelling of the name of our island is a great plan!
Count me in. But why not even change the name? How about--Sugar's Island? Nah,
just kidding. But getting something people can spell sounds like a winner to me,
and as the Arenamistress, I know a winner when I see one! -- Sugar, Mistress of
Niatoli (Arenamistress, that is!)
10/31/97
All -- A new and powerful alliance has formed that will raise the level of competition

FACE-TO-FACE XX
Can you believe that this will be the 20th Face-to-Face???
We have settled on a date for the next winter Face-to-Face: January 30th-
February 1st, Friday through Sunday. It'll be at the Ramada Valley Ho Hotel in
downtown Scottsdale, Arizona (6850 Main Street). Room rates are $90.00 per night for
singles and doubles. They are offering free suite upgrades while they are available--
you just need to ask when you make your reservations. The rooms are blocked, so you
can call ahead to reserve your room (tell them you're with the Reality Simulations
tournament). Their phone number is 800-321-4952. You'll want to fly into the Phoenix
Sky Harbor airport, and there's a free airport shuttle to the hotel.
The tournament information sheet and strategy sheet should be out soon.
See you there!
