SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt MURSKA will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference,
as STRONGHOLD is pushed out of top team by CHILDREN OF LLYR, who came from 3rd with a
4-1-0 this turn. And let's see, SPARHAWK fought THE USEROUS MERCHANT and gained 17
points and contributed to STRONGHOLD's 3-2-0. FLASH has lost to SEBASTION, falling 9
points, while helping make BLITZKRIEG a 2-3-1 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was
between SHEWISH GIANT and our Duelmaster DINGO, making a Dark Arena Challenge.
Defending his title for another turn, DINGO kept DARK ARENA's warrior, SHEWISH GIANT,
from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Howling Wolf uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the FERROUS MEN stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on MURSKA, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
FERROUS MEN more than any other team we find STRONGHOLD. MURSKA, are we going to
accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was
LOST CAUSE's warrior CLYDE. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Had I not seen it, it would be hard
to believe. DINGO was sent to the Dark Arena and lived to tell about it! Makes you
think, no? A farewell moment, if you please, IRON-HIDE of FERROUS MEN has been sent
to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on his shield. A brave warrior does not carry
a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in MURSKA, 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--

All -- I send out this invitation to all teams and managers. A new Alliance has been
formed. The Living Essences Alliance is being formed to join forces in an effort to
eliminate common foes and to help the joined warriors grow and learn to the best of
their abilities by offering suggestions and advice. It doesn't matter what arena
you're in, or if you're in another alliance already, as of today. This Alliance is
open to one and all! If you are interested in joining, please DIPLO me, or send a
personal ad to DM 93's newsletter. If you wish to join beyond March 2004, send a PA
to DM 82. Come join the fun! -- Dagan LifeGiver, mgr. Shadow Warriors (DM 93)

This notice is to formally introduce our young alliance, CHAOS INC. We consist of
APEX, FLAGG, MATRIX, ASSAMITE, and now RUDE BUDDHA. If we aren't already there, we
WILL be coming to an arena near you soon! Hope to see you all at the ZALCON II.

Greeting from Jhans, DM 36 -- In 2 turns the kLk will host our first annual "St.
Valentines Day Massacre" in Jhans, arena 36. (Kill Contest) The contest will begin
on turn 450. It will run for 10 turns. On turn 461 the winners will be announced.
There will be 3 separate categories, the team with the most kills, the alliance with
the most kills, and the warrior with the most kills. For the manager of the team
with the most kills a PRIZE of 10 ROLL-UPS will be rewarded (or $50 deposited into
his account). No need to declare yourself in the personals. If you are in DM 36,
you will be part of the contest whether you like it or not. We encourage as much
trash talk as you'd like. All teams, managers, and alliances invited. Please
contact Polarius (mgr. of Blitzkrieg) in DM 36 with questions. Or you can email me
at jamieptmo@hotmail.com. Good luck and see you in the sands. -- Polarius
