                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in MURSKA a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as WEIRD STUDENTS is pushed out of top team by HOUSE JHEREG, who came 
from 2nd with a 5-0-0 this turn.  And let's see, CHALER fought CONVICTED ASSASSIN and 
gained 10 points and contributed to HOUSE JHEREG's 5-0-0.  PADRIAG has lost to 
VILMOS, falling 1 points, while helping make CHILDREN OF LLYR a 1-4-0 turn.  And all 
eyes were on LOFTIS this turn as it ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  MURSKA has 
a new victor!  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped 
under the table at The Victory Tavern?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  Well, sports fans, take notice that SELENE 
from ERRATA was MURSKA's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.  
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     I like this place, MURSKA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in MURSKA and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in MURSKA again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe

Huh.  Palug gets a lot of response to his razzle-dazzle, but *I* am still the truly
popular one. -- Oisin

Two-three-one, with Palug as Duelmaster and Mara Kiera as killer?  I'm seriously not
believing this.  There are so many things *wrong* with this. -- Oisin the disturbed

Sweet Samantha -- Sorry about that.  Really.  I didn't mean to kill you, just to
defeat you. -- Mara Kiera

                   SEAM (DM 20) REOPENS AS A NEW NO-TOURNEY ARENA!

Seam (DM 20) will be re-opening soon as a no-tourney DM arena!  If you enjoy arena 
play without tournament interference, this arena is for you!  Only rookie teams may 
enter this arena, and all managers must sign the "no-tourney" pledge.  Turn 0 is due 
on May 4 (overviews only) and Turn 1 is due on May 18.  

To avoid confusion, all old inactive teams which were in Seam have travelled to 
Mazgourrah (DM 77). 

Seam is the newest arena to join the no-tourney group of arenas and will process on 
opposite weeks with Shadowspire (DM 81), the original no-tourney arena.  Other no-
tourney arenas include Telorinthe (DM 83), a slow arena, and Storm Rock (DM 107), for 
ADM warriors.  

Join in the fun!  Send in your new rollup along with the pledge soon so you can get in 
on the ground floor of this new arena!
