SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
NIYTYOLE ISLAND. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got
paid! Hey everybody, watch out for VLAD, who flew up 28 points in the rankings after
mashing COOL HAND HAMMER like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like
a basher in the top ten was MALODOROUSREEK, who dropped 13 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with BIG CASINO HAMMER. In front of all the
crowds, SILK took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. An
apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NIYTYOLE ISLAND arena.
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad VEGGIES? Big bad VEGGIES. Big
bad VEGGIES. NIYTYOLE ISLAND's afraid of the big bad VEGGIES. Tra la la la la! For
those of you who like math, try this one: VEGGIES + Weapons That go Boom =
CHAOTICDISORDER + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes,
TATHARLI would be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Proving again that NIYTYOLE ISLAND is not
rated G, VLAD of the PATH OF THE BLADE slew the warrior COOL HAND HAMMER in a rather
bloody bout. Let's look for a bloodfeud. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Demonichellion -- Listen, you, there was a lot too much "horrific power" in that
fight! You darned near killed me! I wouldn't have liked that. -- Tatharli
P.S. I wish the Commission would stop calling me a Karnhorn when I'm actually
Ferencian. But they are SUCH idiots about the difference between race and
nationality. Oh, well.
Malodorousreek -- Wow, you gassed him! Poison gas, no less. This was very
impressive (no, don't come closer!), and we are all suitable impressed. And glad.
We really didn't LIKE Hofta Laugh. He was a serious annoyance around the guildhouse,
always telling these disgusting jokes and then braying with laughter. No couth. --
Jorja
Stone Face Hammer -- That was weird. I've heard of people "leading with their face,"
but yours is the first face I've seen that really is a weapon. And (wincing) a very
dangerous one. -- Thimbell
P.S. The guy I knew who led with his face was even uglier than you, because of all
the times his nose and other contiguous parts had been broken, smashed, pulped, and
generally mangled. It (his face) wasn't stone, you see.
Mordant Deserter? Who the heck sicced HIM on me? How can I write a decent personal
to a standby? Besides, he tried to make the whole fight into a JOKE, and I HATE IT
WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT. You can get killed out there. *I* can get killed out there.
It is NOT a joke. -- Tyler
P.S. I wish I'd killed HIM....
The Convicted Thief tried to tell me he was just a red-headed stepchild and deserved
some kind of consideration because of that. As if! What do I care what color his
hair is? Besides, it's a very unpleasing carroty shade. Quite low-class. --
Irinkesta
Gladiators of Niatoli -- We considered writing you personals, but that isn't covered
in our job description, which means we don't get paid for it. And this job pays
little enough as it is. Of course, if there was some chance of getting a dialog
going--not with those rude Sewing Circlers--that would be different. -- Ardain
Lavono, Refugee from Mordant
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
