SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon MURSKA, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! PELICAN EEL successfully staved off a grab for the
roses by MAIRE MCANGUS of CHILDREN OF LLYR. Does MURSKA have no one talented enough
to dethrone him? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
And how sociable are MURSKA's warriors? Come, let us see. Like a horde of
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in MURSKA avoid SEA DOGS. The
warriors of SEA DOGS found their efforts at combat frustrated as ON THE ROCKS
apparently had more important things to do than fight. Is it charming personality?
Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, THE JOKER is the most
challenged warrior. Place your bets! SAZERAC is the long shot of the week: they
challenged STARGAZER, up by 28. Fixed fights? Paybacks? Blind luck? Whatever,
SAZERAC challenged STARGAZER, SAZERAC the underdog by 28 points. Mismatched by 15
points, KAILIE RHINN overcame DECEMBRE. Is this really worth noting? I thought
DECEMBRE showed great skill and promise when she was beat by KAILIE RHINN. All
right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! 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! My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling
may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Like a mixed metaphor, and
an overtaxed simile, I now bid MURSKA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
St Magdalene -- I was trying not to be to hard on a lady, and you returned to me with
actions that no true lady would contemplate. What the heck? -- Harec O'Kai
Sazerac -- I guess by Harec's reckoning, I'm no lady, either, but I could buy you a
drink. -- Maire McAngus
Loony -- Huh, that's embarrassing. Here you are, returned after a longish absence,
and things have been so slow here that your personal number isn't that far behind the
newest ones. Doesn't speak well for the action in this old town. -- Brendal
Stargazer -- I guess they were your lucky stars, hmm? -- Tamra Kai
Wicked Witch -- I'm prepared to be convinced you might not be such a bad guy as all
that, because us orcs always get put down that way. -- Kailie Rhinn

NEW TEAMS IN THE TEMPORARY TOURNAMENT ARENA (DM 85)
Please note that all new teams created at the Face-to-Face were temporarily placed in
a temporary Tournament Arena, DM 85. If you requested that your team be placed in a
specific arena, it has already transferred to that arena. Any teams not transferred
out of DM 85 by October 1 will be deleted. If you have questions about any of your
teams, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free
airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 22
before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.) Look for the tournament info
sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to
it and that we will see you there!
