SPY REPORT
Hail CLIFFHOME! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. JUST BECAUSE stable has parlayed this turn's 2-2-0 into a 3 space move
up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
CLOCK O'DIAL fought DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and gained 24 points and contributed to
JINDA-BAN's 3-2-0. HEBEE has lost to DELPHI, falling 10 points, while helping make
ALL FINESSE a 3-2-1 turn. Defending its title for another turn, TIGER SPLASH kept
JUST BECAUSE's warrior, GAR & BRILL, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that
our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Choking Ogre?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the ARENA FELINES stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on CLIFFHOME, what are you afraid of? And
avoiding ARENA FELINES more than any other team we find ALL FINESSE. CLIFFHOME, are
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? In a fit of brilliance or of
stupidity (hard to say sometimes), FIDDLESTICKS challenged 2 + 2 = 4 today, facing a
27 difference in recognition. And now nobody knows where 2 + 2 = 4 is right now,
after giving FIDDLESTICKS 24 points worth of recognition. As quiet chuckles rise
behind me.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. 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 CLIFFHOME, 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--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Fiddlesticks -- You played knick-knack on my shin, in a manner of speaking. Or my
fender, as the case might be. I didn't even have a chance to get into gear. --
Lonesome Truck
Happy Violence -- Does that go for receiving as well as for dishing out? I hope so,
for your sake. -- Hari Cane
2+2=4 -- You again! How many TIMES do I have to tell you that for us Ducks, things
are not so boringly cut and dried. Sometimes, two plus two equals FIVE, although I
must also admit that at least once to my knowledge it only came out as THREE. But
the Duck in question was very young. -- Har di'Har
Zazu -- Hmm, you decoyed me right into your pit. I wasn't expecting that. Sneaky of
you, but then, you're an Elf, so what else, eh? -- Korribie
Hebee -- If that's finesse, I'll take a plate of hash. -- Clock O'Dial
Lucid Confusion -- Don't worry about it. That kind of thing takes care of itself. --
Hari Cane
Garfield -- When you go, we're going to miss you. -- Zin, Jinda-Ban

All -- Remember to put your arena number on your strategy sheets. Strategies turned
in without an arena number run the risk of missing the turn. -- NAIEI

To All -- Fellow managers, I humbly request your help. My team (Ex Oblivione) was
started in Monuntial (DM 34) back in '92. They were active for seven months. I have
lost all early traces of them. If any of you can help with copies of relevant
newsletters or, if you fought one of my warriors, copies of the fights, I would
greatly appreciate it. I only have one of my original warriors left from the early
team now active in DM 60. You can diplo me with any info here in the wonderful city
of Aradi. Thank you in advance. -- Enigma, manager Ex Oblivione
