SPY REPORT The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon MURSKA, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! CHILDREN OF LLYR? Who? BLITZKRIEG is the top team these days, buddies! Practice pays for MEGALODON, who pummelled O'MALLEY, to pocket 15 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 11 points to MEGALODON. (Discrete enough, O'MALLEY?) Our Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KHALHUMS DWARF, BUT BARRISTER is still the Duelmaster because he has the most recognition points! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of BLITZKRIEG should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of THE BEARS, so did that sorry team shy from BLITZKRIEG If challenges were horses, O'MALLEY could open up a fast food joint! The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BARRISTER 3817 7 3 1 89 BLITZKRIEG (357) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TOM THUMB 3791 12 1 1 113 THE BEARS (253) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MEGALODON 3838 9 1 0 84 DEVILS OF THE DEEP (358) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DARLING NIKKI 3842 6 0 2 66 BLITZKRIEG (357) O'MALLEY 3816 6 4 1 63 BLITZKRIEG (357) BLUE EYES 3845 8 1 0 62 THE BEARS (253) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OISAN 3794 8 20 0 44 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CU-CADAL 3848 6 8 0 44 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) MORPETH 3862 5 3 0 44 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TAKE COVER 3870 2 1 2 30 THE BEARS (253) KAMA KAZI 3859 4 0 1 28 BLITZKRIEG (357) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RAZZLE DAZZLE 3863 2 0 0 23 BLITZKRIEG (357) DALLOW 3872 0 1 0 1 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) KAI 3873 0 1 0 1 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I am always in favor of the new Duel2Dude taking the throne on a win, and against a graduating warrior, that too often does not happen. But you have ably demonstrated your ability. -- Gwalchmai The Dangerous Criminal was, indeed, dangerous, and criminally negligent where the imparting of skills was concerned. I wish I'd killed him. -- Morpeth Blue Eyes -- I've got a weakness for your baby blues.... -- Oisan Darling Nikki -- Damn, it's the prejudice thing, isn't it? You're Karnhorn, I'm Shewish, so NATURALLY you try to kill me. And I'm a rotten fighter, so you succeed. (sigh) Maybe I'll reincarnate as...I dunno, almost anything else. -- Ghost of Brangwyn You know, we really need a new Orc. This one's getting ragged around the edges. -- Cu-Cadal 24 August 2004 Invitation to Newbie Managers by Hammer As a Captain of the Vendetta Cartel, Hammer has recently dissolved the Vendetta Cartel Crimson Ascension Family.

I am the manager for Scarlet Blades in DM 25. I was a member of the Crimson Alliance and the Crimson Brotherhood (which was composed of former CA members). I've been out of the game for many (at least 5) years. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers me, as well as any Alliance that is seeking to add experienced managers to their roster. Contact me at: Anthony Wells 600 W. Shore Dr. Stanton, MI 48888 or by personal ads in DM 25. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS MEGALODON devastated O'MALLEY in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
