SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for HEBEE, who flew up 12 points in the
rankings after mashing HARI CANE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know,
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. HARI CANE was overcame by HEBEE
and drops 10 points. Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash
yer clothes. TIGER SPLASH did not fight this week so its title was forfeit. In
front of all the crowds, MEN WORKING took the Duelmaster's crown for its own. I give
the bum two weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps
T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad JINDA-BAN? Big bad JINDA-BAN.
Big bad JINDA-BAN. CLIFFHOME's afraid of the big bad JINDA-BAN. Tra la la la la!
Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch ALL FINESSE's act in the arena. Those
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from JINDA-BAN.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the CLIFFHOME giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown
Spymaster

Men Working -- Oh, yes? Why am I not laughing? -- Hard di'Har
P.S. Because the joke's gotten cold, that's why. You should have died long ago.
Zazu -- Finesse me, baby! -- Lonesome Truck
P.S. Don't know where that came from, must be the full moon. Maybe I'm a female
truck.
Ambitious Guard -- Fie. -- Hari Cane
Dangerous Criminal? Says who? -- Clock O'Dial
The Osksi Noble is too short, besides being touched in the head. (I touched him
there myself, with my sword....) I want no part of him, except maybe...a scalp-lock?
-- Korribie
Tiger Splash -- Congratulations. -- Zin and Jinda-Ban
10 May 2003
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

Assurnasirbanipal invites all to use his computerized warrior management tool. The
program is the most extensive management tool ever created. It was meant to run on a
PALM OS PDA, but will run (emulated) on a PC or MAC. You can get this program on the
web at: http://www.geocities.com/assurnasir
27 May 2003
A note to everyone regarding manager names and manager lists -- If you're running a
team incognito, all you have to do is let me know and I won't put your name on any
manager lists. It has seemed though, that more people want their names listed, even
if they do not announce themselves, than the other way around. Also, I do maintain
the list more or less by hand and errors do creep in. You have but to say I've made
an error and no one will be the wiser (except thee and me, of course). -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
