SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for TEMPEST, who flew up 10 points in the
rankings after mashing DUCK CREEK HAMMER like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal.
And falling like a basher in the top ten was PHILABUSTER, who dropped 10 points after
a disappointing (to say the least) bout with VENOMOUS CONCUBINE. It's a proud day
for the RAVAGING LORDS stable, as their warrior, THE MANIAC, ascended the
Duelmaster's throne. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger
halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that STORM BRINGERS was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of STORM BRINGERS'
warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause BAD COMPANY beats feet every time STORM BRINGERS smiles at them.
Try farming, eh? And who is this THE TUSKER you ask, with 96 points and a 14-10-0
record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in NIATOLI ISLAND
have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. 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
Snake Eyes -- So close, so close. Let us try again. -- Dark Tourney
Bear Creek -- Good duel, sir. -- Talon
Hammer -- This is the third time I have been just about to pass you up, and then
fallen short. Do I need to avoid Snake Eyes in the future to finally accomplish that
goal? -- Rake
Monk -- I do believe that was our fifth fight. Of course I'm up 3-2. And since I
can't allow you to have the final victory I'm coming to see you again. Ready to
bleed? -- Head Hunter
All -- Finally, more have arrived. -- Rake
Bill -- It is good that you return, there has not been anybody worth groveling to in
your absence. I see you have executed one of the inhabitants here in your customary
fashion, a job well done. I have sacrificed a goat in your honor upon your return, I
hope this appeases the High Council, for their rule is strict. May the wenches find
you handsome. -- Ikillu
Wind Bags -- More challenges like that and you won't have a team left. -- Ikillu
The AA is not like a thief in the night, we just bust into your house, take what we
want, then burn it down. -- Gen. Ikillu, the Ravaging Lord of the Allied Axis
31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
